Yeah fuck this, if everyone is going to go off-topic then I'm not even going to bother with it.
And what do we have here?Oh! Another raffle! Might as well say "Gimme your metal and you will have a 1% chance of getting a hat while i make me some more hats out of that metal to make some more hat raffle threads on FP so i can get more metal so i can get more hats"
oh look another raffle thread
If you don't like raffles then please keep it outside of the thread.

um that's not the point, the point is there's so many fucking raffles it's just annoying now
Agreed about the raffles, so I'll stop with them until Jimbo takes care of these or something.
Also 10 bucks says 90% wont even bother to look in raffle subforum.
There's a thread for discussing that, and it's not this thread.

This thread is now about annoying raffle threads, deal with it. Wanna give away hats? Give them away FOR FREE to random ppl.

Are you talking about the raffle? I don't thinks so, you are talking about OP and how ppl should ignore these therads.
Damnit, Why can't you jackasses just let people hold raffles in peace.

Because raffles suck. Plain and simple.

Maybe some people don't craft alot and have useless scrap metal.
[QUOTE=REMBER;25512407]Because raffles suck. Plain and simple.[/QUOTE]
Oh yes because offering people a hat for 1 scrap sucks.
They still have a better chance of getting the hat than getting that specific hat from a random craft, with 26 less scrap.
goddamnit i wanted this
[QUOTE=Xenophunk;25514463]goddamnit i wanted this[/QUOTE]
me too :(
Well you can blame the off-topic shitposters for that, I might try this again later.

You know what, you should not give a shit about them those off-topic posters, some people may not enter into one of those other raffles because there is nothing they want. But this might interest them. Give 'em chance mate!

I will if a raffle/trading subforum is added, just so the shitposters can keep their posts to themselves.
Make it free
Suddenly, no off topic posters
That's just how hypocritical these people are
I think the problem is the market has been very much saturated by these raffles. Even me, someone who tends to throw about metal like there's no tommorow, has begun to sigh when another one of these pop up in the forums.
On their own, there is nothing wrong with them, but with so many about people lose track of what they've donated to who, leading to one sloppy mess.
There is also a general feeling that, in donating scrap, the OP's intention is less than noble (not my opinion, mind). Free raffles do well because it is entirely selfless- paid raffles offer the OP the chance to craft a new hat that might be better than the one they're giving away, and upon crafting say a Merryweather with the raffle's proceedings, they'd stop raffling.
Until there is a dedicated forum, and a ruleset, new pay-in raffles really ought to be postponed. Free raffles, or ones that involve non-TF2 item entries, like the art thing I'm doing, can and in nearly all cases prosper, simply because it is a) easy and offers no risk to the people entering, and b) is a selfless gesture by the original poster.

Private raffle? Lol

Hmm, doing the math...
[quote]There are currently a total of 91 hats, including the 14 misc. items and the 7 limited edition hats.[/quote]
So there are 91 hats, but 10 of them are non-craftable. (achievements/promo) That leaves us with 81 hats.
Even if you have the 27 scraps it takes to make a hat, you get a random one out of 81 possibilities. That's a 1/81 chance, using 27 scrap.
Here, for 1 scrap you get a 1/27 chance of getting the exact hat you want.
I'm guessing the only reason people have to whine about raffles is the fact that the raffle-runner can make a hat and keep it.
I say the moderators or respected users should get the hats donated to them, and they make the charged raffles. That way, a user with a reputation would find it hard to scam people.
