Popular Post effdeegee Posted February 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Hey there, folks! Before we go anywhere, I'd like to point out The Lottery's first use of a banner. I had no intentions of having one but, my friend Cassiopria came to me in chat one day and said, "I got you something." It turns out that she took it upon herself to request one for the event and HappyKastanie obliged so, my thanks to Cassi for her thoughtful gesture and to Happy for his efforts. So, here we are; The Lottery 4. Let's see if I was right to press on from #3. Since Valentine's Day was yesterday, I had visions of doing a love themed event, with pictures of hearts and cherubs and Brother Love everywhere. I would express my love for the community and go into deep thought about our reality and our ever intermingling lives. There would be a high volume of , and floating around everywhere.Then, when I woke up today, those visions seemed to be funnier if I made it into some sort of hungover alcoholic, waking up on the day after Valentine's Day without his mate and the event would have a sarcastic, underlying tone of how love stinks. There would be lots of "What's the point?" and "It's all a crap shoot." kind of shenanigans.I finally settled on the theme of the lazy guy that doesn't care about having a theme (zomg ironic inorite?) so he just proceeds to tell you what his other visions for this event were going to be. Fits well, eh? Moving on.For those that are unaware of the point of this event, it's for people that can't choose what game they want to play next, don't even care what game they play next, maybe want to try something new, or have a serious, undiagnosed gambling addiction.Notice the term "event" because this is in no way a competition. I will always stand firm that this is merely a social event, built for the sole purpose of having a friendlier, more tightly knit, stronger PSNP community. If it was a competition, one could say that, just by participating, we're all winners. Okay, enough of that now.I gather a group of people, get a specific list of games from each participant and then retire to my mad scientist RNG lab until I surface with some form of electric Frankenstein event, where everyone gets a random game thrust into their lives, which they then must hunt down and play. The catch is, it could be any game; a Move game that needs a wand and camera, a music game that needs a mic or other instruments, a foreign game that may have some serious shipping costs/import fees, whatever. So, if your bank skillz are weak, go sit at the kiddie table with your sippy cup. We'll all enjoy a big bowl of conversation for the next 6 weeks and then I'll tabulate the ballots and hand out some prizes.Yes, ballots and prizes. Over the next 6 weeks, I'll be keeping track of things such as posts in the thread, likes given and recieved, trophies earned and a bunch of other things which are G-14 Classified information. At the end, I'll make a few people slightly more happy than they originally were when they woke up that day.There are (now) only two rules:1. You must have at least 79 posts to sign up (hooray for new rules and arbitrary numbers). 2. The game must have an attainable platinum (and preferably from a game you've played before).So, that's it. Let's start herding the cattle through the turnstiles and prepare for the slaughter, shall we? Participants1. effdeegee (confirmed)2. A-Brawl3r (confirmed)3. pese-97 (confirmed)4.

Waffle-Sensei Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I guess I'll be sitting at the kiddie table. Good thing I like sippy cups... This seems like it could lead to some funny stuff (the idea of someone getting Star Ocean 4 is hilarious to me) so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuelito Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes another one! I really need to get back to trophy hunting and this event is a good motivation so count me in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senbon Kaguya Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm broke as all get out but I remember seeing this before so its neat to see who gets what. May get people interested in genres they never liked before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effdeegee Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 That's G-14 classified How do you know about G-14 Classified? I'm broke as all get out but I remember seeing this before so its neat to see who gets what. May get people interested in genres they never liked before. That exact thing happens every single time and it's really cool to be a part of. I hope that one person who always misses the sign-ups by an hour makes it this time. I believe you're referring to EpicNogg4 and he made it in during the last event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillia Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I believe you're referring to EpicNogg4 and he made it in during the last event. I remember there was still someone in the last event who was mad for missing it twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENinjask123 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'd love to participate! Sign me up! ...is what I would say if I didn't read the rules and see that I am faaar below the post count requirement. Darn. Perhaps it is better this way. At college, game stores are few and far between, mailing isn't really an option because of my parents' paranoia, and I only ave a ps3 availible (with a ps4 at home, granted. No Vita though...) Well, if there's some way I, a newbie, can participate, please tell me. If not, expect me to be cheering from the sidelines, trash talking the people who aren't, and trudging through homework when I'm not. Best of luck to all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twaanie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hereby I claim one for when I get the post requirement. Damn you FDG and your rediculous rules. give it away if someone else wants ofc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma999 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I read the rules of the lottery however i have one question to make . What if the person doesn't have the system to play the game which was assign to him/her ? Like if the lottery assign mean Vita only game and i only have a PS3 . Do i must buy a Vita to participate then ? I remember there was still someone in the last event who was mad for missing it twice. Who was it ? Would you kindly tell me ?

effdeegee Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) If you don't own one of the systems, it would be foolish to assign a game for that system, don't you think? The game selection process addresses that possibility and it's nothing to worry about. As for your second question, it was literally answered in the post immediately following the original statement.

You can only be given games for platforms you have but you can still get a game that require a Move controller although no one will probably never suggest it.
