Okay guys. I want people to post ideas of THEIR OWN in here. Ways to help the thread grow and attract new members. I do NOT want you guys going 'well this one thread....' no thats not what we are about. I want something along the lines of game items for regular items or something of that sort. I dont want to make the thread/guild completely different from that main idea okay?

My idea came from something that happened to me today! My mom and me were going through the drive through of a fast food place. Guy infront of us lost two dollars as he was trying to pay. I went out and got them for him and gave them to the guy... and in return I got a free meal. That got me thinking... maybe we can imply that here somehow? Good deeds should always get a little bit of a reward.
Perhaps and I would be doing this for my own items or items on the mule or something. Every good deed done on the site with proof (Ie - donating to a charity, ects) gets them points. From there the points can be used to either claim game items I have up for sale or if they get enough points earn an item I have up for trade.

Like your idea. ^
Well I was thinking maybe a lotto? But not with gold more like game items. I know I have a hard time collecting certain types of game items and maybe a lotto would be great help.
Ex. Astra Golden Halo ~410k so maybe have ~410+ spots where to enter you pay with 3 guppys per spot.

I don't think that would work. Sure guppy's in the marketplace are over 500g, but if you go by store price they're really only worth 6g.
by having only 410 spots at 3 guppys each spot youll get 1230 guppies, which is only worth 7380g, which means you will lose 402620g.
Now if you go by the game item exchange threads, guppies are only worth 150-300g. So, my calculations are going to be the lowest price. Youll still get 1230 guppies, which only gives you 184,500g, still making you lose 225,500g.
Now, say I use the 300g price. Your 1230 guppies are worth 369,000g. You're getting closer to the 410k value of the item, but you are still loosing 41,000g.
And this isn't even to mention the profit that you would want to gain by doing this lotto. Also, you're not even sure if the guppies that you get will sell as fast as you want in order to get that gold value from them.
So, while it is a good idea, you seem to have the calculations of it a bit wrong.

I know.... I'm not saying its a bad idea to have a lotto, or what have you, but it just really needs to be thought out.
I guess I sort of have an idea.
We could do mystery boxes. Have it be a small game or something in the guild, and people would pay 500g (or whatever price assigned), to have there pick of 1 box. There should be maybe 10 different boxes, each with something like a piece of clothing, to game items, to something semi expensive (like say at a limit of 50k or something). So there can be 10 different people picking boxes. Once the 10 people pay you can reveal what is in each box, then reset the box and its contents, and it can easily keep going.
The 10th annual ball is doing a variation on this. Except, they are doing things like roleplay partners, art, etc., and with a larger number of boxes.
So I guess it isnt really my idea, and its probably not something you were thinking of, but I thought it was rather interesting.
and I guess it doesnt even have to be boxes, it could be pick a door, or a clover, or whatever it wants to be.
