Community Event giveaway is over

deathbattle double elimination bracket

 

1 le speedrun may or may not have been a thing ive always wanted to try myself but never have
but ye, looking at the wynn portions of speedrun.com only a few are actually run
it would be nice to have another category, if only to see people speedrun wynn

 

kind of

 

There's alot of things you can do, if you wanna host events that are fair for everyone:

- You can do a roulette
- A marble run (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1491340/Marble_World/)
- A high-card low-card tournament
- Rock Paper Scissors tournament
- Any randomly generated simulator experience, like the hunger games simulator another person suggested above

And for gathering entries, you can always just have people enter via google forms cause that way you can remove duplicates and it'll make a nice little list for you. I explicitly chose these things cause they are entirely up to chance, there is no skill to learn in order to win, therefore making it fair for everyone.

If you want to do an event that is more skill/experience based, you could do:

- A Scavenger Hunt (Ex. Find mobs that are blocks, like corrupted ore or beacons.)
- Hide and Seek
- A Race
- A PVP tournament
- A trivia game
- A blackjack/poker/card game tournament
- A Connect 4 tournament

 

I think you should do a spin the wheel thing on google to pick the people and another one for the prizes.
(I know someone else suggested it, sorry I'm not that creative XD)

 

It sucks that I found this thread so late because all the obvious and good ideas have been stated already, but I still got an idea, I guess? It’s original compared to everyone else’s here. You could do it to where people can comment under the giveaway thread a number between like 1-500(Or whatever values you’d like). On the day the giveaway ends, roll a number and look through the comments for people who have that number or a number close to it. Also if you dont want to completely do this idea, you can hook this idea up with like a competition idea that someone else said. So it could be, “Guess that Number”, and “Do this speedrun(or whatever challenge)”. Each one of those can have x amount of winners, with you choosing the prize pools for each one depending on what you think is more important.

 

Try a combination of all of the above

 

yes and give us all 1 stx
/s

 

results later today
you can still take part

 

Have 3 sections of the giveaway: 1 fully random (a few or many winners), 1 based on inviting people (few or many winners), and 1 based on competitions (a few or many winners).

The competitions could be of many forms, from speedruns to art contests (which probably wouldn't take too much time to judge) to something odd like completing a certain number of quests on an ironman class in the shortest time. For this last category, you wouldn't have to watch videos to verify, rather, you can just check their stats at wynncraft.com/stats, which tells you how many quests they've completed, their playtime, and whether they are on ironman. Having ironman as a requirement makes it more accessible to everyone and more interesting, because without it, the most competitive runs probably all use white horses and quest-related items that were obtained on another class and then transferred over. And to solve ties where wynncraft.com/stats shows the same playtime because of rounding to the hour, the API can pretty easily be used (api.wynncraft.com/v2/player/PLAYERNAME/stats), as it shows playtime with more precision.

You would create a thread announcing the giveaway, and to join the random section, someone puts their IGN and, optionally, who invited them.
To select the winners for the random section, just use a random number generator from 1 to the number of posts, and then the people who have those post numbers win (if you get a post that is yours, not an entry, or a repeat, reroll).
To select the winners for the inviting people competition, roll in the same way you would for the random one, except the winner is the person who invited the poster, not the poster themself (again, if you get a post that is yours, not an entry, or a repeat, reroll). Doing the inviting people competition with randomness rather than just by number on invites encourages people to keep inviting people, when otherwise they might feel they are securely getting the prize they're going for. It also makes it easier for you to pick winners, because you do not have to look at every post. Having a section of the giveaway based on inviting people should solve all issues with getting the word out about the giveaway.

If someone wins more than one section, they are given the largest prize they win, and if the prizes they don't will be rerolled/go to the next person in line.

Prizes would be distributed by scheduling a time with winners, so there aren't any max playercount issues.

 

art is really objective and would take ages to really judge, not to mention probably a jury or smth

 

ok ig that's true

however, if they do get a panel of people to judge it, then they don't have to spend their time doing so (which keeps it convenient for them to choose winners)

 

Choosing a winner now

 

Well, there are a few good posts and it's hard to choose one.
I'll say the winner is @Enderae, I liked the speedrun idea the most. There were a few people talking about them, but this person was the first.
@I_am_Mindless @Crystqllized @Mardeknius gave me good ideas too, I can offer 16le to each of you as a consolation prize.
pm me in discord to get your prize Inzilbeth#7976

 

Ayyy! Congrats @Enderae you're not poor anymore
