Currently, I am planning to be the seller by default. However, if someone with a massive pile of fg & an earlier join date wants to be the seller & they can stream it all, I will designate them the seller! I personally plan to contribute exactly 3 SoJs, no more.

iceydicey is the seller! They are an 04 with 140k FG to lose. They aren't gonna scam the SoJs. This also means that my role is reduced to helping them with the Discord server and keeping a contributor list (which will be public on docs.google.com!)
their profile is here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=151048

For simplicity, if you are someone who is providing 3 SoJs, you are a 'ringer'

1. After you've provided proof that you have 3 SoJs. I will send you a link to a Discord server.
2. After we have 40 ringers in the Discord server, seller will be able to promote people to access to private channel. You get access to private channel after trading SoJs to seller.
3. Test Game: Seller will random.org from the list of ringers. That person will host a game and provide the IP & Region. Everyone can attempt to join and we can see what the difficulty is like.
3. After Seller received 124 SoJs and the test IP has had some success, Seller will be streaming and random.org on stream the list of contributors. The ringer that it selects will then release the IP & Region to the private channel.
4. We'll game search for 2 hours.
5. If less than 30 people find a game on the IP in 2 hours, refund all SoJs to ringers. This means that if you release the IP to friends and the group isn't getting people in, we won't walk at all. Don't give the IP out.
5. Confirming 30 separate contributors have a game & 2 hours have elapsed, sell until walk. If the seller doesn't get a game, they join the ringer who was selected via random.org and sell there. Seller does not get their own Anni in this scenario, shouldering the same risk as everyone else.
6. Excess SoJ will be sold via a single d2jsp auction lasting 1 hour and the proceeds will be divided evenly amongst contributors. Everyone will receive some FG back as a result.


Caveats:
1.) There is no way to actually prevent people from releasing the IP, other than to be willing to call off the walk if the Ringers aren't getting games.
2.) There is no way to try and guarantee every ringer gets an anni because we don't know the limitations of Blizzard's servers and load balancing. If future attempts make it clear that 40 games is doable, then selling shouldn't happen until EVERYONE has a game.
3.) Buying into this includes the risk that you are not able to find the IP and 30 other ringers are.
4.) The excess SoJ auction might be a bad value for everyone involved if it goes cheaply. So it goes.

This will happen 2 hours from now if enough people show interest, or not at all if that threshold is not reached. That means 30 people putting out interest in this thread.


exported my gold logs from my more active jsp years and put it on google sheets.

this is legit

Will join both events. Count me in.

would be willing to collect and sell the sojs on stream if enough people are interested, have 3 sojs to contribute.

are you able to do a random.org drawing on the list of contributors on stream?

if it's just the streaming of picking a username from the list of ringers on random.org, sure

ok, iceydicey is officially the seller, editing op. I have NO recollection of ever interacting with this person before, we are not colluding in any way.

can provide gold logs upon request etc to show no trades with XilDarkz. if this doesn't happen tonight because of people committing to the other run already, down to do this tomorrow too.
