Raffle: PCE Dragon Slayer

Emerald Rocker · 08/13/2012, 09:12 PM

To help bring everyone together, I've decided to hold a raffle. The prize is the Japanese import PC Engine Super CD version of Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes. It's a landmark RPG with phenomenal music. Sadly, the game is missing the obi (also known as a "spine card" to heretical gaijin).

There are a few basic requirements to enter the raffle for Dragon Slayer. It's also missing the map, by the way.

RAFFLE RULES:
1. There must be at least 5 entrants, or the raffle entry period will be extended by one week.
2. Raffle entry period ends at midnight Central Standard Time on Sunday, August 18, 2012.
3. There is no post count minimum, but you must have been a PCEFX member for longer than me.
4. You're allowed to swear.
5. Bonus entries!! You may complete two of the following "bonus" tasks for extra perks. Note that you can only get UP TO TWO bonus entries. If you do three of these things, you will be completely disqualified.
   a. Anyone who promises to raffle off something loses a bonus ticket. If you promise but don't really mean it, then you won't lose a ticket.
   b. Anyone who posts "I love Obama!" gets a bonus ticket.
   c. Anyone who posts "When Biden speaks, he speaks for me!" gets a bonus ticket.
   d. Anyone who posts "I'm a loser and not afraid to admit it!" gets a GUTS ticket. The GUTS ticket may be redeemed for a free copy of Tokuma Shoten's visual novel "Tsukejina no Nahidoda" (but only if you win the overall raffle).
   e. Anyone who enteres the raffle and is involved with the homebrew scene gets a bonus ticket.

Entrant list for Dragon Slayer (which is missing the instruction manual):
1. Rover (+1 bonus ticket)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.

Enter quickly! You only have a week to enter the raffle for this heavily-scratched free PCE Dragon Slayer!

I was going to enter as bonus rule "d" has me intrigued, but I can't be arsed to pay int. shipping right now (wallet needs some rest) so I'll be happy to watch from the sidelines.
+1 turbobkarma for trying to bring us together.

...and I just realized I don't qualify for rule number 2 anyhow.

How do I go back in time?

I don't need this game, but +900000000x turbob karma to you for doing this ROFFLE!!

Nice on ya.

I got this game and you still rock! We need more stipulations like these on raffles to keep out the riff-raff

+ infinity on the GUTS ticket.

Thanks for the laugh and the offer, but think I'll just stick with my US copy.

BigusSchmuck · 08/14/2012, 06:50 PM

Yeah I already got the U.S copy. And even if I did want it, I don't think I would care to comment on Obama or Biden due to the political shit storm debate it would cause if I did. Anyway +1 turbo karma to you.

Heheh, how many active members on this forum have been here longer than you? Even I've only got a couple of months on ya... joshua's a few months later, though I figured NightWolve would be earlier... he's not. Well fuck, heh, I'll enter anyway, and oh yeah, 5e.

NightWolve · 08/15/2012, 05:46 AM

Uh-oh, I think we got egg on our face... I missed the whole deal with Bardoly's raffle and silly stipulations like getting people to say "Texas is the greatest state" which was obviously sarcasm for hating on the state. "I love America" was probably sarcasm from the guy too. But anyway, I see that Emerald Rocker was just spoofing Bardoly's thread. Was kinda wondering why a raffle was in Fighting Street, but yeah, I missed the joke not having seen Bardoly's raffle/thread.

So yeah, this is not a raffle, it's a ROFFLE. ;) I was gonna say, who would even really want a Japanese RPG like "Dragon Slayer I" given the English localization anyway? That was the other clue even if you hadn't seen the Bardoly thread, but I wasn't sure since JoshTurboTrollX-16 (I think or someone else) had raffled a Japanese Dungeon Explorer around here and people wanted that, so I didn't pooh-pooh it on that basis.

Yeah, that's part of the gag/point. Hardly anybody qualifies with such a stipulation having to be registered before June, 2005. Hehe! Bardoly, with his real raffle, disqualified everybody that has used profanity on this forum, so it's an attempt at illustrating absurdity by being even more absurd. ;)

Absurdities are always funny.

I just wanted to see if anyone actually met the criteria on this one...
