Since the discussion on Novos promotion tactics in the recruitment thread is progressing sluggishly I'm posting this. The following is a quick setup of the Novos Lottery/publicity stunt thing. In the future I'd like to think this thread could be used for people to submit outlines or examples of Novos sponsored discussions/events so that they could gain approval as well as volunteers.
*New*
The Lotto is now up! Visit it here
Got any free space in your sig? On your store? Need a tattoo for your forehead?
---|Start|---
Prize : 100,000 Gold!
Brought to you by Novos, it's the first ever World Domination Lottery! What's this you ask? Well it's a lottery for starters so lets cover that first. Participants buy tickets for 50 gold a piece, 2400 tickets will be sold, adding an extra hundred tickets that will be given away to exceptional bumpers there's a total of 2500 tickets. There is no limit to the amount a single individual can buy and the prize as stated above is an amazing 100,000 gold!
Now, why is it a world domination lottery? Well because it's brought to you by Novos. Of course the actual world domination part is a gimmick, Novos actually represents a political group of concerned individuals who strive to create a unified world under one government through peaceful means. We ascribe to no one political doctrine and wish to create an environment in which intellectual prowess and strong philosophical arguments are rewarded and encouraged as a means of gaining prominence within the group and government.
Of course like all fledgling guilds our numbers are few and we'll admit our goals are lofty, but with your help we can grow. We're tired of charities who's only aims are to throw money around and push a few minor issues, they provide temporary relief at best. In order for people's lives to improve the world must change. No longer should petty governments vie for each others resources through trade leveraging and military action. Even "fair" trade agreements will still provide poor deals for the people as long as at least one country maintains poor labor laws. Real change must be achieved with the merging of existing governments into one that is truly for all people.
We always welcome new members, and are especially in need of members with web design experience. Did we mention this lottery is also a recruitment attempt? Please consider us and best of luck to you all.

I like it. The triangle's a little low though. It should be at the center, and there should be an even space between each side and the circle.
While I'm here:
100,000!? CAN WE AFFORD THAT!?

Defunct Adjectives Was worried about sounding greedy but 2500 could work too I guess. With a grand prize like that, I don't think anyone'll complain too badly. I suppose I should start rounding up some other volunteers for keeping this thing alive huh? So, are there any volunteers who are gonna volunteer, or shall I involuntarily volunteer you myself?

I'm already volunteering myself, though I'll need some help since I'm leaving on Saturday. Hopefully I'll get online while in Boston but it's not a sure thing.

I offer my services as bumper/helper, but be warn-ed: I have no internet connection during weekends, so I'd only be able to help during the week
