I think it's a bit broken.
But the store still works as my new title shows.

Not broken, our EIC just forgot about it I think. *shiftyeyes*
Anyway, I concluded the current lottery. I might start a new one tomorrow, and I'll make sure I keep track of it. LOL

I think this is my 4th time since I joined and haven't won...but I'm sure there are hundreds of people who buy a ticket so the odds are not really in our favor. ;)

Well you got another chance, just posted a new lottery -- one that WILL be followed and maintained. :hnb:

yup, i'll be getting one right now and hope i'll be luckier in this so abruptly titled "lottery the return" under the new administration :p :D
say, are we going to get volume numberings and original cumulative numberings in bracets in this new round of lotteries?

honey, i think there would be 15 people buying the tickets at most, but with this type of random drawings, it could have been 4 people each week and you could not be winning in a hundered draws continuously... that's the beauty of the chance games. :p

Sometime soon, I guess. We'll probably have to wait until Travis returns from his vacation trip, so it'll probably be next week or so.

ok people; i've won the lottery!! :cheers:
when i've seen the short-time lottery announcement i was sure this was the right time and i would win after all... :D the only minus side of it is that; short time means even lesser people to buy tickets (was nine at the end, i guess) and that means lover price money. i've won 680 points and all i can do with that is like, italicize my user name. (which i will do once i buy more pm place, an e-mail account and probably change my user name and practically buy me-self a capital "D" :p . and oh yes, i could change my av. too; which the whole point of the store is i guess.. not that i don't like it but the place is getting all too crowded with rotating pictures. maybe if i can make somebody (that would be unicorn pegasus most probably...) do an animated shot of sandman with sands floating around his hand... but i guess that would be sooo later on...)
so, what is all this yanking about i hear you ask... well; there is a reason i'm here showing off my easily earned points... and that is i'll donate some. :yes: :D [and here is hoping that this will start a traditon amongst the lottery winners (which i am a part of the glory community) for offering their loving hand to those not that lucky at all.. :p :dunce: ]
it's not all mountains of worth but here i go non the same...
chemical X, my buddy, despite winning the previous one and probably like two times more than what i've gained, still asks me for donations so i'll throw out 30 points to his bank, for what it's worth.. ;)

legend; my friend; i know it's not the whole you deserve but you'll be getting 50 points from good old dreamer here. :cool:
and i'll be giving an extra 100 points too. but to whom? well; here is a challange: post here your unerased "you've not won the the lottery" notification till like the next time i visit here; and i'll share the 100 amongst those who keeps their trash. :p

I suppose this thread will be deleted soon anyway...so...let's ramble!
Episode 1 was was..average at best. Episode 2 was good. So hopefully were seeing a pattern. Episode 3 should be great. And, I say that half-jokingly, but we all pretty much know whats gonna happen with the story. Some exciting stuff is about to go down.
Dont give up on the series yet.

Lottery will probably return sometime later, but there's things that the admins are doing that is more important than the lottery, and the store, including buying a new name, title, avatar, mid file and all that stuff.
