Can you believe it’s been six years since Mycena Cave opened? Wow, time sure flies! We’ve got several fun festivities to celebrate this milestone with you all, so grab your paper hats and little noise maker thingies and let’s get this party started!

Someone apparently had a literal ton of balloons hanging around, and with a little help from Professor Sprocket, we’ve gotten enough of them inflated so that everyone can have some!

(He used some sort of contraption to inflate them, though we wouldn’t blame you for thinking he’s probably full of enough hot air to get the job done himself.)

Collect your balloons here!

Ambrose is enjoying the birthday festivities by asking visiting Mycenians for just a few minutes of their time. He’s collecting traditions from throughout the Cave, and would love to hear yours! In the spirit of community, he’s hoping to incorporate some far-flung traditions into future celebrations.

Oh, and he’s offering you a cool pair of contacts and a sticker for your time! You can take part in the A Mycenian Tradition forum activity through June 30th!

We’ve gathered some very special prizes into a raffle for the community to enjoy! From individual Glowing Changingshroom Coat mushrooms to NPCs-turned-site coat to Cave Capsules, this one’s got something everyone will enjoy!

You can head over here to purchase your tickets, and the raffle will be pulled at 12:00 ST on June 30th!

Once again, our annual item survey is open! From now until July 5th, you can submit your item desires and vote on ideas submitted by other players. While there’s no guarantee anything specifically from this survey will be made in the future, we often refer to this data to get an idea of the types of items players want to see.

Familiar, maybe, but not, like, identical. The Paper Rose and Trailblazer mushrooms are now available for purchase in Fungimental Magic! These mushrooms were inspired by the NPC coats that topped our recent poll, and will be available for purchase at a price of 60,000 nuggets from here on out.

Now you too can enjoy the company of Griselda and Tamshir in your own cavern! ...sort of.

One particular item we have been entirely overdue for has now been put up for sale in Sullie’s Closet - the Stone Carvers’ Tools! Perfect for the adventurous Mycenian who may stumble across those yet to be carved during their journeys - and also for those more artsy types, we suppose.

In celebration of Pride Month, we have added a veritable rainbow of new avatar backgrounds to Lands Within! We hope that you enjoy the selection of pride flag backgrounds now permanently available!

So many things!! A huge thanks to all the artists and staff for another year at MC!

The pride flags are a lovely addition, I’m so happy to see they’ll be permanent!

Happy birthday, Mycena Cave! A huge thank-you to all the artists, coders, community managers, and other staff who make this site what it truly is. :D

And the pride flags are a fantastic addition! Thanks to the staff for your hard work, research, and consideration in creating them!

also I need a Trailblazer NOW *robs Fungimental Magic* lmaojkjk I wouldn’t do that to you Bruc.

glitch Hey, I’m not terribly good at maths, but these raffle probabilities don’t look right to me…

You currently have 2 tickets in the bowl.
There are a total of 1313 tickets in the bowl, belonging to 91 players
Your estimated probability of winning a prize is 44%

Or maybe it is right and I’m just bad at maths? Either way, could someone help me out?

Chimerical

I would assume this is because of the sheer number of prizes? o:

Chimerical Each person in the bowl at that point, 91 people, can only earn one prize. So with each win, the probability of each other person winning changes because the pool of potential winning tickets for the next draw decreases. I don’t know the full math, but as each person wins and one prize is taken out of the pool, the pool of people and tickets that can win gets smaller too as the winner’s other tickets are removed from the pot. So it is telling you your overall chance of winning is 44% with 2 tickets out of 1313 total tickets because there are so many prizes and only 91 people.

Maybe that helps you visualize it?

To clarify: what time does the raffle get pulled? The banner and this post say different times |D

Also, how many pets exactly are being raffled, and how many of the newer capsules? I don’t see a number there |D;;;;;

edit I think it’s just mobile Firefox being wonky? cleared my cache and all, still see this

Show spoiler

Ends in an hour! 12:59 ST, sorry for the mix up!

There’s 5x pets for the Paper Rose and Trailblazer. 5x for each Cave Capsule.

nope, nothing has been handed out yet. myla will post on this thread when shes done sorting through all the winners. :)

Congratulations to the raffle winners! Your prizes will be distributed today. have been distributed!

In the case of winners of Mycenians, you have a choice of which pose to receive. To keep things simple, you will receive the upright pose of the coat — if you would prefer the active pose, please send me an echo with the Mycenian’s ID (once you’ve received it) and I’ll get the pose swapped for you :)
