As January comes to a close, it’s time to host our very first Mycena Cave raffle of 2016! This time around, we will see a brand new type of prize introduced… one lucky winner will have the rare opportunity to select a date in the next 12 months to display a pet of their choice in our Feature Pet Spotlight! Please note the pet you choose must be on your profile when the raffle is drawn for it to be eligible for the spotlight.
I always dreamed of being a star!
In addition to the spotlight slot, we will be raffling off cool prizes to 80 additional lucky winners! This raffle will start right now and run through February 4th at 23:59 ST.
Similar to our last raffle, tickets will increase in price by 10% for every ticket purchased. This time, however, we are imposing a cap of 30 tickets maximum per player. Your first ticket will begin at a price of 100 nuggets!
- 20x Changingshroom
- 30x Cave Capsule 2013
- 30x Cave Capsule 2014
- 1x: Choose a day to feature your pet!

Are there any perks to being showcased? Or is it just an opportunity to show of our dapper dandies on display?

[@lady hawkwing] There’s no real benefit to being showcased, which is why the prize defaults to bottom preference. It’s just the opportunity to show off your pet on a specific day that may be meaningful to you or your pet :)

Ahh cool new prize! Not something I’d wanna do too much yet cause I don’t have too much on my pet profiles yet but its a super cool perk for people who wanna show off!!
Still excited about the other prizes though!

display a pet of their choice in our Feature Pet Spotlight!
Sooooo does this mean it doesn’t have to be your own pet? :3

It does have to be yours: display a pet of their choice in our Feature Pet Spotlight! Please note the pet you choose must be on your profile when the raffle is drawn for it to be eligible for the spotlight.

Aw boooo. That’s what I get for .... not actually reading…. <.<
That means future customs/sprouts are ineligible too, then, I guess.

I guess I’ll be saving my nuggets this raffle :[
I’ve entered almost every single raffle to date. (Sans the very first one because I didn’t log in daily and missed it and one of the mini-raffles when we had a series of three, but the smaller prizes were expected for experimentation.)
I would be lying if I didn’t scan the prize list looking for a GCS, pre-made custom or sprout slots ;;
Considering I’ve been able to save up and obtain all the OotS pets and items and nab the other coats with extra funds, I don’t have much interest in capsules or changingshrooms.
As a side note, it was mentioned to me in the past by a staff member that the availability of GCS was being worked on, considering it’s ridiculously hard to obtain one, so that’s why I’m a bit crestfallen.
I do very much appreciate everything staff does, so I hope this didn’t come off otherwise D:

Clutches my singular ticket… “I believe” xD
It will be interesting to see how this raffle runs, and good luck to those wanting the spotlight for a particular day =)

Yay, a raffle! I’ve been waiting for one of these all month. OvO
I’m going to guess the reason there’s no custom or sprout offered this time is because the staff is gearing up for spring, aka sprout season! :D
I’m mostly curious to see when 2015 capsules will start making an appearance. :o

I was also a lil sad that there were no GCS in the raffle (i desperately want a witches brew but cant afford to buy one with currency) but I do understand wanting to keep em rare. I know we just had the profile drive which offered some as prizes so perhaps they are exploring some non standard raffle ways to get them out to people? :) I thought that was a great way to get some into peoples hands

[@courier] Arintol Akira: There isn’t any “large” prize in this raffle because we’ve learned that people like a low-stakes low-commitment raffle from time to time, and we haven’t had one in a while. People also like Glowing Changingshrooms of course! But it can’t be both at the same time, and we opted for the former this time around :)

glitch Sounds about fair! I do like the low stakes raffle, I was excited to see a low ticket cap, so it feels like even if I don’t win it wont be a huge loss :) Thanks for all the variety in the raffles, I have really enjoyed them!

Oh this is a cool raffle.
I have a question though, where its asks to arrange the prizes in order of preference, does most wanted go at the top of the list or the bottom of the list?
Posted 01/29/16

Watchdog: Most preferred goes at the top, and least preferred goes at the bottom of the list!

Estimating you probability of winning a prize in a raffle is generally not an easy thing to calculate. It’s easy to forget that in order not to win a prize in this raffle, you actually have to not get drawn 81 times in a row, each time with fewer other-people-owned tickets in the bowl. Since this isn’t particularly easy to eyeball, I just pushed a small change that does the calculation for you — if the number seems high to you, that’s precisely the point :)
Currently (as of the time of this post, with 194 players and 1763 tickets in the bowl):
- 1 ticket (costing you 100 nuggets) nets you a 6% chance of winning
- 10 tickets (costing you 1,850 nuggets) nets you a 45% chance of winning
- 20 tickets (costing you 6,391 nuggets) nets you a 70% chance of winning
- Maxing out with 30 tickets (costing you 16,436 nuggets) nets you an 83% chance of winning
You can find your probability of winning right above where it shows you your ticket numbers :)

Ooh, that’s really cool. Thanks glitch!
For the featured pet prize would you be able to feature a sprout flower? (It’s too bad there’s not a featured geness of the day)
Posted 01/31/16
|
|
Arintol Good question! Yes, any pet which is not stone form can be featured, so flowers and babies are AOK :)

My birthday is on the day the raffle ends, Feb 4 ;v ; maybe I’ll get lucky~

glitch Love that probability counter. Will that be a feature on all raffles now (that are capped as I’m figuring the calculations would be too broad for a non-capped raffle.
Posted 01/31/16
|
|
Malis: Yep! It should be a permanent feature in all future raffles, including uncapped ones if we do them again :)
