CorsairMan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi Everyone I'm spending the holidays in town this year and I want to have some fun. Just measuring the interest in a possible Christmas raffle. I know this is usually Breadboard's thing and I respect that. (Breadboard - if you want me to back off, just say the word). For those who may not know what I am talking about - one can do a forum search on past Christmas raffles to get an idea of what is going on. Basically ARCers who want to participate just post their name to the Raffle thread. Then a chat room is set up for the Raffle - closer to Christmas. Prizes are those that are donated by the very awesome ARC community. Anyone wishing to donate a prize simply has to post the prize in the Raffle thread. The only caveat being that donors will have to deliver the prize by mail, courier, etc. Warning: this can be expensive as we have ARCers all over the world! I think I can set up a room simply enough - might be over a free service. I'll look into it if there is enough interest here. Better yet - if I can get some help with this, then I would be interested in suggestions of possible 'text chat' rooms. Anyway - we had a ton of fun in the past with this. (Some might even say too much fun... but that is another story) Let me know what you think! Also - let me know if you could help out!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I really enjoyed all of last year's Christmas hullabaloo on ARC. I have to work Christmas and this is a way for me to enjoy the holidays from the hotel room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kg4kpg Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've always got a pretty cool kit from them and this year I have at least one to donate as a prize. Just don't draw on the 19th or 20th please, driving to Texas those days. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfgun33 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'd be in as well. I to have to work 24 hrs on Christmas Day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Would be nice, hopefully I won't be working this time like the last few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I'll be working as well so being able to take part in this will be a welcome event with nothing to do Christmas night. We haven't done this is a couple of years and sounds like a great Idea. I will also have a couple of things to donate as well. I'm in.

William G Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) I have been doing the Breadboard raffle for each year and the raffle last year, sure count me in for a kit or two again William G Edited December 14, 2013 by William G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Its been posted for a week with only 275 views generating 17 positive votes. I'm thinking it was probably too late to set it up for a raffle. But let's forge on. Ill figure out the public chat room this weekend and post the Raffle participation page.

CorsairMan Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 I've found a chat site - you just need to link in with a password (lets hope its stable!) The Official Raffle thread has been posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
