Popular Post effdeegee Posted May 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Alright, alright. First, I'll apologize for the delay in getting this one started. The bachelor party may have ran a couple of days longer than we had originally planned, so bear with me. So, here we are; #5. Hard to believe it's The Lottery's one year anniversary. So, let's celebrate and have some fun, eh? For those of you that may be unfamiliar with The Lottery, first, let me welcome you to the site because you must've just been born within the last 2 months and, second, I'll ask you a simple question. Do you ever wonder what game you're gonna play next and just think that you can't bring yourself to pick? Tired of the same ol' games? Wish someone would pick a game for you? A new kind of game? Hell, don't even care what game it is? Just pick something. Anything! Well, you lazy, indecisive bastard, have we got the fix for you. In The Lottery, I gather a handful of folks (9 + me), get a specific list of games from each, pair them up using a random number generator, then RNG a game from the others' list and then you have to hunt down the game and play it. Seems simple enough, but try and keep in mind that you could get ANY game. It could be a music game and need a microphone or guitar, a Move game and need a camera and wand, or an obscure foreign title and need some serious shipping fees. Whatever the case may be, this game is not for the kiddies that saved up their milk money for the last week. The event normally runs ~5-6 weeks; from mid month to the end of the next month. That gives 1 week to sign up, 2 weeks to be assigned your game, find it and ship it, 3 weeks to play it, enjoy the ongoing conversations and then shut 'er down and award the prizes. Yes, we here at Pay For Friendship Ltd. like to splash the dough around to make the event a little more entertaining, but don't expect a dump truck full of money to be backing up to your doorstep; I ain't Joe Rockafeller over here. History has shown that it's normally 3-4 prizes of $10-$20. So, during the entirety of the event, I'll be keeping tabs on things like posts (both quality and quantity), likes given and received, trophies earned, maybe write a simple review, maybe write a trophy guide, etc. and use those numbers to enter ballots for a draw at the end. Simply put, the more you participate, the better your chances are, but don't think spamming up the joint will get the juices flowing because that's my job around here. With all of that being said, the biggest point to be made is that this event is in no way a competition. I cannot stress that enough. This event was designed to help foster a more friendly, tightly knit community, and that's how it'll always be. A few things to keep in mind: - You need at least 54 posts to join. - Only games with an achievable platinum trophy qualify to be picked. - Repeat participants take a back seat to newcomers. - It doesn't matter if you have only 1, 2 or all 3 consoles, the selection process is still the same. Alrighty then. Let's rock and/or roll, shall we? PARTICPANTS 1. effdeegee (confirmed) 2. Quikdrawjoe (confirmed) 3. Chemergy (confirmed) 4. NerdRage04 (confirmed) 5. MarkusT1992 (confirmed) 6.

Did you ever start Ragnarok Odyssey from the last one you were in? No haven't gotten around to starting that game yet. Got pretty busy at that time and i just kept on stalling this game and now its in my never ending backlog. Still like to start it at some point lol. Game looks really fun, especially since you can play the entire game co op i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 112% chance I miscounted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemiak Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You still remember that fact from a previous lottery? You have a great memory skill or he's you know, a stalker. LOL, I think it's a bit of both. No idea how I remembered that fact, I couldn't tell you what anybody else played that season. I think it came during, or right after, the Plat race him, Zajac, and I had last year. Probably why it stayed in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Good Lord! I go get groceries for like an hour and find 32 notifications since I left. bl00dy f00kin 'ell m8 Give me a few minutes to get my poop in a group and sort this all out. I'm in. I only have a PS4 just for the record And maybe I overread it but we don't need to have played the games we nominate this time? Correct me if I'm wrong. The one thing I forgot to write down. It's not written in stone, but it's a loose guideline. Having played the games you suggest serves to safeguard against people that only suggest games because they're super hard, expensive or lame.

Having played the games you suggest serves to safeguard against people that only suggest games because they're super hard, expensive or lame. No problem I was just curious. I just wondered how I should nominate Vita games because I don't have one. But I try and select a few cross-platform games I played on PS4 for the Vita. Same for PS3 or some games I played on the 360. And one last question: How many games should one nominate per console? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to nominate 3 games per console , btw. 3 for PS4 , 3 for PS3 and 3 for Vita . It's not a must that those you choose you have already played them actually . You can choose games that you think you would like or wanted to play and it will be a good and fun experience for the choosen one , the person selected to play one of your choosen games. Hope i clarify your question 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt the Dog Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Assuming I don't have to pay to get in, sign me up. I look forward to fucking over some poor soul with my obscure-as-hell collection. Who wants some Evangelion slot machines? Don't worry, I'll put in one easy-to-get game, maybe even per console. It'll be a game of Russian Roulette, but with trophies. Edited May 16, 2016 by Walter-kun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
