Greetings to all Zeus Settlers!

We hope we are having some good news for all the balloons donors! Lets spice it up and add some nice prizes and give everyone who makes a decent effort a chance to win something.

This contest is sponsored by Fuscus [Nude] and Huchy [RBLZ] and we plan to award approximately 100,000 gold coins to our winners.

In order to enter the contest, you will have to take a screenshot of your full screen making sure you capture your Player name and the “News” tab that shows in clear the number of balloons you have donated.

Rules:
a) donations have to be at least 10,000 balloons
b) in order to be considered, your total donations have to be at least 25,000 ballons
c) upload your screenshots to your website of choice (Google Docs, Photobucket, Dropbox...etc) and make sure you make it public, so we can verify it

Me and Huchy will monitor your submissions, we will cumulate the number of balloons you donate and we will keep it public in a Google Spreadsheet, so everyone can verify it.

Once the event ends, we will finalize the totals and announce our first winners.


1) Top 3 Donors

30,000 gold coins will be distributed to top 3 donors in direct proportion with their donations.

Example:
Top 3 donations are A: 200,000, player B 125,000 and player C 110,000 - then formulas will be
(rounded the amounts to the closest ‘25)

A = 30,000 x 200,000 / (200,000 + 125,000 + 110,000) = 13800gc (13793)
B = 30,000 x 125,000 / (200,000 + 125,000 + 110,000) = 8625gc (8620)
C = 30,000 x 110,000 / (200,000 + 125,000 + 110,000) = 7600gc (7586)


2) Raffle including all players who donated at least 25,000 balloons

you guys are the best!

this is just going to get people to horde the ballons and not turn them in trying to be the "biggest donor" and shove our server group back to last place cause no one is turning in ballons.

they said at least 10k at a time, 25k minimum total, which sounds like you don't have to do it all at once.. People can still donate regularly, just take multiple screenshots.

Too late way too many people have like me donated over 350k balloons but we get nada cause we don't have proof

*edited my own post* Hard to get others to see more points of view that the one they are focused on.

The title of the competition says "The Biggest Donor! Over 100,000 coins up for grabs! Zeus Server Balloons Competition "

That in itself makes people think hoarding till the last minute of the BD event.

We have until the 23rd..... plenty of time to amass the balloons. It is not too late.... and how can you complain if players are offering up gold coins to motivate the whole server to participate? You already donated 350K balloons with no incentive... now you have incentive to donate even more.

How is this going to get people to hoard balloons? Every time you donate balloons it adds to your total. What is the difference if you donate 50K a day or wait 5 days and donate 250K? Your total is still the same. There is no reason to hold onto them.
