The Wanderer Slot Raffle Season 5
Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by Matriarchs-HauntThe Wanderers
Current Wanderers
Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari!
There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots. Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard. You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month. Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.
Wanderers are guaranteed to pass on their new gene(s), regardless of rarity, to at least one cub in the litter in breedings they take part in during the first 6 months that they’re active. New genes will be guaranteed to drop through September.
How to Enter
Simply create a piece that meets our minimum Group Submission Requirements showing one of your ketucari interacting with the Wanderer who's slot you would like to win! Collaborations are allowed, but in order to count for all involved parties, each must have a ketucari present in the piece. These pieces can double as any group activity but cannot be used in a second raffle here or in another group. Only one Wanderer may be included per piece (ie, you cannot depict all six in one piece and use it as an entry for all of them). However, if collaborating pieces, more than one Wanderer may be included at a rate of One Per Person. However each player may only use one piece to enter for one Wanderer.-i.e. Players 1, 2 and 3 collab on a piece with Hydrangea, Aletha, and Jed. Player 1 can use the piece to enter for Hydrangea, Aletha, or Jed, but not all three. Player 2 can do the same, as well as Player 3.
Remember that until they're raffled off, Wanderers are group owned. R rated entries and entries that are found to be disrespectful to either the Wanderer or any real life person, collective group of people, or culture, can be refused and rejected. They're allowed to be portrayed as creepy, or as villains if you like, but they Must be portrayed with respect, if only for the sake of the future owners. Entries cannot double-dip into multiple raffles unless stated otherwise. Noted exceptions are the Annual WaLoS Raffle, and the Annual Eros and Firn slot raffles. Any other Event Raffles are a "no" unless stated otherwise.
This includes the raffles and draw to adopts in other species.
This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:
-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" (or any other pronoun) in a way that deprives the character of personhood (some Wanderers may use it/its! Respect that if/when it ocurrs!) (Your character is allowed to be mistaken, please try to be clear this is a character mistake and not an authorial one)
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
-entries using the character as a vessel to insult other characters, players, admins, or other species
-portraying them as an obvious charicature of any ethnic group.
-uses slurs against them or involves them using slurs.
There will be up to 6 total winners, labelled 1-6. Winners will be asked to list the Wanderers they want in order of preference based on which number they have and who they put in entries for (you cannot put in a Sylphy entry and win Kurra, for example, but if you only entered for Jed you get priority on Jed).-i.e. if you are the only person to put in an entry on both Hydrangea and Jed, you may choose which slot you would prefer to get, instead of receiving Jed by default.
You may include multiple entries in one comment.
Start-Of-Season Bonus Raffle
For March and April, we have a bonus raffle, due to accidentally not including the Deep Well modifier in our list of wanderers! (oops)
Skaði has come out from Rastyn's territories in Aegrus to join the Wanderers for a couple of months! They have the Deep Well modifer, Brow horns, and Spur horns from this year, as well as Noisy Wrought and Maltese from last year!
Raffle Closed!
Skaði has returned to Rastyn's territories for now
Skaði is a regular starter and will not be raffled off for ownership.
Yearly Import Raffle
-CURRENTLY OPEN-
Before we get started we need to establish a few things, however. As the Wanderers are not just fancy imports but characters you all have been developing through the year, we want to make the ownership rules clear.
Wanderers may not be redesigned. Tokens may be added if applicable, and accessories, Elemental Blessings, and new backgrounds can be added, but the actual character cannot be redesigned. Wanderers may Not be resold for USD. No Deceasing the import. If you don't want them, gift/trade them to someone else or give them back to the group. Imports returned to the group will not be re-raffled without your approval. The New Owner may Not change their Wanderer's Attunement without use of the Attunement Shift item. The New Owner will need to complete their Wanderer's Breeding Eligibility. Their Breeding Comment will be "locked" before they are transferred to their new owner. Slots written by the Matriarchs-Haunt account will not count against the Wanderer's used or total Slots. The new Owner must be aware that their Wanderer will not keep their built in Guardian or Sun Disk. If a Wanderer is somehow Unclaimed it will remain group-owned as a starter. The New Owner must be aware that their Wanderer will maintain their "Starter" status and may be added to lineages as needed.With that established, here is how
How to Enter
-CURRENTLY OPEN-
As with the Slot Raffle, you must create a piece that meets our minimum Group Submission Requirements showing one of your ketucari interacting with the Wanderer who's slot you would like to win! THESE PIECES MAY BE COMMISSIONED. Commissioned entries may be used by both Commissioner and Commissionee as long as each has a ket present in the piece. Collaborations are allowed, but in order to count for all involved parties, each must have a ketucari present in the piece. These pieces can double as any group activity but cannot be used in a second raffle here or in another group. UNLIKE with the Slots, you may include up to 3 Wanderers in an entry and it will count for all of them. There will be up to 6 total winners, labelled 1-6. Winners will be asked to list the Wanderers they want in order of preference based on which number they have and who they put in entries for (you cannot put in a Geiger entry and win Leslie, for example, but if you only entered for Geiger you get priority on Geiger).- There are fewer than 6 total entrants and multiple people entered for multiple Wanderers
Reputation System
Starting in 2024, Wanderers will have a Reputation system. What this is, is essentially a reward for commitment towards a given Wanderer. Entering for Slots to that Wanderer will increase your chances of winning Ownership of them if you enter the ownership raffle.
If you have Two entries for slots to any specific Wanderer throughout the year, you can gain +1 entry into the Ownership raffle for that particular Wanderer.
How this works in practice is essentially increased priority over others who Don't have that +1, where if you and one other player both enter for Sylphy and no other Wanderer, and no one else entered for Sylphy, and you have the +1 and they don't, you're going to be the one to receive Sylphy.
If you enter for multiple Wanderers, and we have a year where there's competition for them and we actually need to use the raffle list, your name will be entered twice so you have a higher chance of winning.
