A K-1 will be given away tomorrow, June 30th!

Shivaess · 06-30-2018, 04:22 PM

They've already removed their posts from the list (take a look). I feel bad for them as they probably just wanted to be included in the fun. I do appreciate the comment above about using standard vs admin accounts to enter. Additionally, I highly doubt they get paid so of ANYONE here they're pretty high on the list of the "deserving".

Everyone take a deep breath and go shoot some photos :-) We get to try again (hopefully more smoothly) in a month-ish.

It looks like the system was better at preventing an excessive number of entries this time around, but not without hiccups. Therefore, I think the fairest way to proceed would be for us to have one more raffle thread.

This thread will be opened in about half an hour:

K-1 Raffle: Entry thread 3, 11:59pm UTC, June 30, 2018 - PentaxForums.com

I will build in checks to further improve the coordination of the timing.

It is always open to mods. that's why they are mods

here people were sitting and pressing F5 for first 5 minutes without any chances

so it is not even a lottery

I made it in Raffle #2 but I think what your offering is fair.

Do all these posts count towards the running total for next months giveaway of a gold Rolex?

It's actually a lot easier to win a Prize this value here than at the loterry if you ask me.

Same here. The one time I actually might have got through apparently my post wasn't long enough.

Sorry you're getting so much grief Adam but I think I'll pass this time

**aslyfox** · 06-30-2018, 04:25 PM

read immediately another chance

K-1 Raffle: Entry thread 3, 11:59pm UTC, June 30, 2018

This is a bonus raffle thread due to the technical difficulties we experienced during the original round. I will accept an additional 15 entries, such that the second round of raffle entries matches the first. Good luck!

Raffle #3 is 15 entries.

**beachgardener** · 06-30-2018, 04:27 PM

I think paying $1 for a ticket would be better, actually get a ticket that way.
