Raffle ideas

DJ_Spider

As you might have noticed, (if you haven't turn off your banner blocker!) I am organising the Ninja Karaoke & Beers night at the end of the month. I am trying to sort out a raffle to raise more money. Has anyone any good ideas for companies to approach for donations? Or do you have any good prizes you can donate?

I am offering a free disco/karaoke, and maybe some other prizes. I would ideally like some drink type prizes, maybe a meal at a restuarant/hotel, or anything else you can think of.

*Mods, feel free to move this*

Thanks

DJ Spider :cool:

Rb

Sounds like a good idea alright.

You could also do a Boardsie slave for a day auction for charity?

DJ_Spider

So you offering yourself then rb? Shall we start the bidding at say, €1.50? :eek:

Nerin

ask dev for some of those legal letters

Ron DMC

+1 for the letters

And also vouchers for restaurants, shops etc. I'm sure that if you send out a pile of emails some will get back to you.

Keano

Mod for a day on your forum of choice auction

I'll be out of the country for the night itself so I don't think I could participate tbh. Also, I'd fear for my own safety as I'm sure someone like Degsy would re-mortgage his house in an attempt to get control of me for a day;)

The legal letters is a good idea too
As is the "get unbanned for free card"
"Two week siteban for a user of your choice" would go down well too I'd imagine
The ability to approve a forum suggestion of your choice

etc etc are all good things that could be raffled and provided by boards for no cost really.

What about "Put a Deluded,Unemployed,Arrogant,Egocentric Halfwit in the stocks and throw stuff at him all night".50 cent for a head of cabbage,1 euro for a potato and a fiver for a fist-sized lump of granite.

Wow, he's still stalking me around the website, despite me posting a "cease and desist" post on a thread on AH (see sig).

F*ck putting him in stocks, Nerin, that guy needs to be locked in a room with padded walls and fed pills until he comes back to normality.

Degsy, if it weren't for Nerin quoting that post I as usual wouldn't have seen it, please re-read the post linked in my sig. You have a problem and you need help, you won't find that help online so I would suggest going to your GP for a recommendation. For the second (and hopefully last) time, please stop following me around this website and replying to my posts and talking about me. I don't want anything to do with you, and your e-stalking is, again, becoming quite worrying. I'll be contacting an smod/admin if you persist, this is the last time I'm asking and for your own good you should go and get some help. Do not reply to this as I have no interest in interacting with you, take my advice on Board and log off for a while, it will do you some good.

Cheers,

You're only encouraging them.

Anyway if I've learned anything from TV it's that when two people appear to hate each other so much, usually the opposite is true. It usually comes to a head in a heated slagging match which then turns to kissing.

Lol. However, let's not incite anything. I've already stated I want nothing to do with him, he's fully aware I've had him on ignore for months now yet he's followed me from thread to thread making comments about me, or talking about me in other threads. He has an obsession, one that he needs help with, help which noone on boards has the legal right to be giving him.
It may be funny but encouraging him is not the way forward, as a community we should aim to get him the help he needs. It's clear the main problems are an obsessive disorder and an anger management problem, both can be treated with drugs and therapy so in future I'd ask the community to encourage him to seek the help he needs, rather than feeding his problems.

Degsy

"The community".That made me laugh.One of the most unpopular people on boards claims to speak for the majority.Delusion on a grand scale.

Nailz

Down with this sort of thing.

Edit: Oh btw, I taught you had him on ignore, you must have found the 'View Post' button...
And I wouldn't exactly call a Mod unpopular, but carry on.

I love the random sh1te boards throws up every now and then.

RB V Degsy......

I can laugh at it and I will. Go moi.

After re reading the thread DJ Spider = the New 6th.

Dear God what a suck and clean your a$$ merchant.

RoundyMooney

Well aren't you grouchers and stirrers great fellows, pissing and moaning on what is a thread started to try and do a bit of good in the world.

Twats :mad:

Eoin

On that note, what cause is this night out for?

RoundyMooney

It's for the Santa Strike Force. This is where a group of us get together, before Christmas and distribute toys etc., to hospitals, charities and the like.

A worthy cause.

Eoin

Cool, I know about SSF, but didn't know that this was part of it.

Best of luck DJ_Spider. Perhaps rb and degsey can do a punch and judy show for the kids.

Because it doesn't sound like it to me.

Well, I only got involved last year (with herself, junkyard and ned78), and we drew up battle plans for a Cork invasion

It was a great buzz, and with the likes of DJ Spider on the case driving things on, next year could prove even better.

Ah AC, let them feck off to PM

The SSF is a great cause and the more support it gets, the better. I'm thinking of donating something to the raffle, will know by the end of the week-ish.

I still think the ideas I outlined above would be good things to raffle off, God knows some people would do anything for a bit of power around here, eh

Honestly, if he just stopped following me around the website and took my advice then this wouldn't keep popping up. Maybe a bit of a slap on the wrist is in order, who knows, but it's easily prevented if one party just stfu's and p1sses off tbh.

Apologies for bringing it into this thread though.

tbh

for those of us who don't know either of you, there's no distinction between you and degsy.

something to think about maybe.

Well, I'll put it this way. We've had conflicts, I "washed my hands" of him and stuck him on ignore. He then kept posting about me, replying to my posts, registering other accounts to get around the ignore specifically to abuse me etc etc. This all ended, or so I thought it had, until I saw he was posting in a lot of threads I was and saw his posts being quoted, where he was still replying to my posts despite knowing he was on ignore, making snide comments etc. So today, I've officially asked him to f*ck off and stop posting about me, replying to my posts with his crap etc. i.e to just leave it. Yet he hasn't, hence why it's being dragged around Boards, because he keeps following me from thread to thread bringing this shíte up. I have him on ignore, that should be the end of it and you'd think any rational person would just consider not continuing with it, yet he won't stop.

I've posted in two threads telling him to give it a rest etc or I'll be taking it to an smod/admin as it's nothing short of e-stalking, it's as though he's searching for my posts to reply to etc. So hopefully, whatever part of him is still sane/rational (which there has to be otherwise he'd probably be booted out of his job) will realise that it's time to stfu and stop harrassing me on this website. It's bizarre, obsessive behaviour. I mean, he went through that trip report, all 36 pages of it, to try and find something to use against me and I'm sick of it.

Oh and if you want a distinction, I don't post topless pictures of myself in the KYN thread

At least I contribute to discussions, he seems to go from thread to thread looking for trouble, as though The Thunderdome isn't enough for him. Many will confirm this, he also seems to have it in for 6th.

I would sincerely hope I'm not seen in the same light as Degsy tbh.

Anyway, I really, really want this to be the end of it. I don't want some weirdo following me from thread to thread trying to pick arguments with me in the hope someone will quote his posts and I'll see it. It's being going on for a ridiculous amount of time now and I'm quite frankly sick of it. I've no intention of discussing it with him via pm, as there's nothing to discuss as far as I'm concerned. If I can't get him to stop this f*cking stalking , I'll have to get the admins involved, which is something I really don't want to have to do as they've far better things to be doing with their time than dealing with some petty argument amongst posters, that's what the mods are for afterall but when it's going on through multi-fora then a problem arises.

Anyway, again, apologies for bringing this up in-thread, it's really not the place to be dealing with it.

honestly, if this involved me and roundy, say, would you care who started it and how it started? who cares dude.
you just wrote a massive post having a pop at degsy. How can you think he wouldn't want to react to that?

if you're as serious as you say about not caring, then just stop talking about it.

That's beautiful.

So back to the raffle, any more ideas?

There's enough businesses on Boards that I'm sure some can chip in something to it, might it be worth dropped those in Komplett a pm and see if they could contribute?

I'm sure I can donate at least a bottle of wine or something to the pot anyway

So, so far (just to have a full list so far) the list of ideas is:
free disco/karaoke
legal letters
vouchers for restaurants, shops etc
Mod for a day on your forum of choice
1 "Get unbanned for free" card
As is the "get unbanned for free card"
"Two week siteban for a user of your choice" would go down well too I'd imagine
The ability to approve a forum suggestion of your choice

I'd take your side 'cause he's mean and you're nice and present the podcast well.

Vouchers and things could be problematic for the winner if they happen to be in Dublin just for the night, so may not be the best of ideas. Same with the "slave for a day" thing. Good ideas, but just perhaps not practical. I know it limits things, but perhaps it might be better to keeps prizes boards-centric? Or at least location neutral.

I'd be happy to donate a years subscription for a winner if the admins, etc are ok with it.

RoundyMooney

I know amp did something like this before-but a good idea deserves a second airing.

I'm willing to auction my tagline, sig, and username to the highest bidder, who gets to decide the content of all three for a period of time to be defined (I'm thinking a week?)

Note: I'm not giving my account away-DeV would have my ass in a sling if I gifted someone siteban abilities.

Is this a worthy raffle item, or would anybody be bothered?

Eoin

I don't know if these are the types of prizes you are looking for, but I would be happy to put in a couple of bottles of wine.

This is very true and I hadn't thought of that.

The Boards-centric ideas still remain good though, such the ones I suggested i.e getting the approval of a forum of your choice etc

A years subscription is a great idea too, as is roundys idea of auctioning his tagline/username to the highest bidder. The only problem is some things would be much more beneficial for the charity as an auctionable item for example, mod of a forum of your choice for a day, people would be willing to bid higher than the price of a raffle ticket for that, whilst the subscription for a year would be great as a raffle item.

It's always possible to have two separate things.

One raffle with a few subscriptions donated, wine bottles/baskets etc and then an auction for things like control of usernames, moderatorship for a day, approval of a forum of your choice etc. I'd happily donate a quarter sub or something, couldn't commit to a full year sub as I've holidays to pay off that are coming up but I think evening having a sub for 3 months for the price of a raffle ticket would be a decent prize alright.

It'd come down to the organisers and there's still plenty of time left to organise both tbh, but it's their call at the end of the day.

I was thinking of maybe letting the rb_ie account out to auction for a week but thought about the sheer havok one could cause with it. Nothing to the extent of your account but Christ, if someone who didn't like me got control of the account they could really go nuts with it.

Aye, I wouldn't go giving away an account tbh.

When you've three years/x amount of posts tied up in it, it becomes you almost, if you know what I mean.

No one's getting my house, but they get to paint it for a week with slogans of their choice, should they so wish

That is, if anyone would want such a thing!

tbh

I'll change my avatar to a JL in a man utd shirt for a week for €50. believe me, it would kill me to do it.

he's bitter and twisted because he was bullying TWO girls in thunderdome and he got his ass handed to him for it.He now thinks i'm stalking him for whatever reason when the plain fact is he posts a lot of bloody rubbish all over the place and it''d be hard NOT to reply to it.In one AF thread he spoke of wishing death on somebody,telling somebody to fcuck thier nmother,going on about somebody else's father and trying to encourage somebody to commit insurance fraud.If ANYBODY had posted such inflammatory tripe they can expect a backlash.It's an absolute miracle he hasnt been site banned and now he's trying to deflect by framing me for "stalking" him.I post in lot of fora,sometimes serious,sometimes less so but the whole site would be better off without this guy.

Degsy

Back on topic.Howabout a "behind the scenes" trip to baords HQ?Perhaps a day working with the admins to see what sort of stuff they do.

tbh

how do we metaphorically chain degsy to rb_ie for a week? I'm pretty confident we could chip in if such a thing could be achieved.

Suggestion 1: degsy and rb to exchange passwords and post as each other for a week.
