Congratulations, we thought you weren't going to claim your prize! Smiley

I was hoping he wouldn't come back so maybe I could win the prize instead!

Hope another raffle comes up again..soon!

Winner is a brand new account with 1 post
Dev said he would re-do the drawing in 7 days if the winner did not respond.
Nine days later, he has not picked a new winner, and says he'll give the winner until Monday to respond
Winner suddenly responds shortly after, right before Monday ends

Convenient.

Dev likes to boast legitimacy by "randomly" arranging the participants in a spreadsheet and using a random number generator.  However, the number is "seeded" with a pre-selected phrase, so he could have easily known the number days before the drawing, and "randomly" arranged the spreadsheet to ensure his buddy (or himself under a different account) wins the raffle.

Now the dev is banned . . . something smells fishy

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like it was a scam from the get go.

I would like to get the next Maieuticoin raffle going ASAP, and since this is a new account with one post, I'm going to give him a week to respond. If I don't hear back from him by September 10th, I will ask for his address to refund him his entry fee and redraw. I don't want to open another raffle before this one has its order placed

If this was a more active account, I wouldn't use the week time limit, but for some reason I have a feeling he may not come back on and see my message...and I really don't want to have to put the next one on hold while we wait for one guy that may or may not come back on. Looks like he only logged in twice, ever, so here's hoping his main account sees this!

Thanks to everyone who entered. These raffles are going great! We sold this one out in under 6 days! That's awesome!!

I was wondering about that since you posted his activity. Well let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

Sorry I'm a little late. Accidentally scrapped the list and had to rebuild it

I'm sure you guys all want to know the winner....So first, let me explain how a winner is picked

1) Go to http://www.random.org/integers/

2) Switch to Advanced Mode

3) Configure to look like this:



4) The randomization string will be MMXIV evolves to Maieuticoin

Produces our random number of....57

5) We then take that number and apply it to the entries spreadsheet located here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OR8iqI7GsAvNqwLWfbYrlnhm0CaOdm9qlVUvvOChhQ8


Which gives us our winner...


Congratulations to.....CapnHappen

These steps can be verified independently to produce the same result. I see this is an account with only one post asking for an address, so hopefully he is watching this thread. Please PM me your shipping details as soon as possible so I can get your units ordered. I've also sent a PM to try to make sure you know you won

CapnHappen, please respond as soon as possible
