Will people who donate for a ticket be able to choose wish item(s) they want their ticket to apply to, or will this not be an option? I am asking to help clarify for people who may not want to "draw" on all items, since you are only able to win one item total. You will want to clarify this as well as detail how the actual raffle will be done prior to the event taken place, preferably at least 24 hours in advance so people can decide whether they'd like to participate and schedule time to be availalble.

That's good business acumen, best of luck with this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PS - have you tried emailing Platlord? I'm sure he'd be interested in tickets <3
These two situations are not even comparable, and I don't appreciate the flippant sarcasm even if it's meant as a joke. Sektor's wedding exchange was not, is not, and never will be legitimate or approved by the CSR staff - it's selfish and blatant RMT, something Sektors was informed of when the thread was edited by me to confirm the illegitimacy of the idea to anyone who happened to read it after the edit. I don't find equating selling items for wedding gifts and the funding of a charity dedicated to saving the lives of young children handed a death sentence in the form of leukemia to be very funny.

We spent a fair amount of time discussing this raffle, and I spent a lot of time spelling out clear guidelines that would need to be followed in order to ensure this could be supported and approved by the staff. I will also be putting in a considerable amount of time after the event going over the donations themselves in order to verify this was all done legitimately and adhered to the rules and regulations set prior to the event.

The image displayed in the original post is just one section of a much larger document and contract that, if not followed, will end with Norova taking the full punishment reserved for career platinum sellers. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be done properly, and I'm thrilled we were able to make this happen - it would have been extremely difficult to say no to such a selfless and heart-felt request. I sincerely hope that, despite the effort required from myself in order for this to happen, more people follow his example and attempt similar events. It puts a huge smile on my face knowing someone is using Project 1999 to help fund an important cause they are passionate about supporting.

Good headphones?
Didn't want to send a PM, so I slipped it in at the end here. Anything by TurtleBeach is great - they are used by lots of streamers, and don't have to be expensive if you don't want. Myself and several others use a $30 pair of these to stream with and it sounds great, while having the added benefit of looking cute on girlfriends that stream (everyone has one of these, right?). You have options all the way up to the $200-$300 range, so do some research on what they have available to fit your needs.
