In order to make this draw as transparent as possible I am making available a spreadsheet with all the entries along with their entry number BEFORE the draw.
Every End of Round Golden Ticket in your inventory at the reset will get you a line on the spreadsheet. If they were in your inventory, you are in the draw.
The spreadsheet is protected by a password. This password will be made available AFTER the draw so you can independently verify the winners.
I will leave this thread open with a request that people reply with:
- ONE random number
- between 1 and 12556
- in each of your posts. Post as many times as you want as long as you are not posting twice in a row.
Later, I will lock this thread. The last numbers posted will be the winners and I will release the passwords for the verification file.
The verification file is located here: https://walkmyplank.net/eor41_gt.7z
This file is encrypted and requires a compatible program to decrypt it. I recommend 7zip or WinRAR
How does this work?
- The names of all pirates holding golden tickets are put in a spreadsheet.
- If you have 30 tickets your name is on the sheet 30 times.
- Each time your name is on the spreadsheet it is assigned a number. 30 tickets could be numbers 1-30.
- Hagar tells us how many tickets total there are in that particular month's drawing. This time it is 12556.
- You post any number from 1 to 12556 to determine who wins.
- This thread is shut down at a random time and the last numbers of tickets are the winning numbers.
- Hagar consults the spreadsheet to see whose name is beside each of the last numbers posted.
- Those people are the lucky winners.
Obligatory EOR disclaimer: The winning numbers will be announced at the end of the draw, but will not be officially recognized until 24 hours after the announcement. If no valid protests have been lodged, the winners will become official and their prizes will be sent out.
