    As you may be aware, a Ninja Karaoke event is taking place on the 30th of May in the Mercantile. Link.

    A raffle will be held on the night with many glorious prizes up for grabs.

    For those who can't attend, there's still a chance to win, as we are holding a seperate raffle for those boardsies who buy tickets online for the princely sum of €5!

    Prizes to be announced (see below).

    Here's how to do it:

    1. Click here (Paypal)

    2. PM me to confirm, with your paypal user ID.

    3. I will reply confirming your inclusion in the raffle, enclosing a ticket number. (I'll forward names and numbers to DJ Spider, MC on the night, so don't worry if you misplace it, the username is what's important).

    4. Cross your fingers, and perhaps you can be one of the lucky winners! Even if you're not, your money will go toward putting a smile on a child's face this Christmas, so everyone's a winner!

    Duly edited to avoid misinforming the punters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    Here is an explaination of who can win what:

    If you buy a ticket online and are not going to be at the event, we are unable to post any items you won. Apart from the vouchers, and the boards prizes. (Mod for a day, chose a smiley, free sub etc) If you buy a ticket online you will only be eligible for those prizes. If you buy a ticket at the event you are able to win ANY prize, as we can give it to you then.

    I hope this helps with any confusion.

    Question, What if you can arrange for someone to be there to pick it up for you? I'm unsure if I can make it this Friday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    So long as they make themselves known to me, and who they are the proxy winner for, then I see no problem.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider

    Ladies & Gentlemen, as Roundy has said the raffle is now closed for online sales. You will still be able to buy tickets at the event, but as I will be extemely busy tomorrow I have had to close it.

    Thankyou for all your support, we have sold 24 tickets at €5.00 each making a grand total of €120! Well done everyone and good luck!

    I would like to thank RoundyMooney for taking the online payments and sorting out the numbers. I have them all written down and I will PM/Email you if you win anything. I would also like to add my thanks to Rb, Cormie, DeV, Vexorg, and of course The Mercantile for giving us the use of the room for free.

    If you are going to be at the Karaoke night tomorrow I will see you then, to everyone else, I will update you over the weekend.

    Troll on.

    Folks, online raffle sales close at midnight tonight. Last chance :)

    Not trolling, just didn't see he was a user here with big imput into this event. Thought it might have been that gimp from Big Brother. You've hurt my feelings now. If I was a troll I'd be crying uder my bridge right now. And just for that I'm a gonna buy a raffle ticket so I too can become a mod and set up my own forum here. FACT.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    So 1713 posts isn't high then? also seeing as I am the person who came up with this idea back in december, provided the karaoke disks, and I am providing all the equipment tonight, I can't see the logic of your post. But hey, that the internet for you!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    So 1713 posts isn't high then?

    nope


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    Don't feed the troll! I meant most of those were for this event!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider
