Under the banner of content creation I am sailing my quaint little pirate ship through these lovely forums.
In order to steer traffic to this film assistance program ( Cloaks, Daggers, and the Invisible Fifth Estate!) and generate revenue for the Dust Challenge Lottery primary ISK pot, I am transitioning the roles of two of my corporations: Ancient Textiles. and Spaceballs the Business Venture. Membership to these corporations carries strong perks, and equally challenging burdens.

Newly refurbished Spaceballs the Business Venture [SKROB] is strong in the Schwartz with 1300 available seats. All members earn 2x on Big Shot Bounties Bounties and +2 Film Credits. In return all members are taxed at a 50% rate. All funds generated go to the primary lottery pot.

Ancient Textiles [-AT.-] is a much more exclusive club, only for 40 players. Members are only granted approval of application once they have completed a minimum of four player created challenges found here (***Big Shot Bounty Board [Suggestion - Review - Authorization]***).
Member benefits are much stronger as well. All members earn 3x on Big Shot Bounties Bounties and +3 Film Credits. Additionally, all members earn 1 ticket for every 1 million ISK added to the Dust Challenge primary lottery pot either through battle taxes or donations (send ISK to Ancient Textiles. or DJINN B4lock). Similar to the burdens of the prior corporation, all members of [-AT.-] are taxed at 95% and will be subject to termination of services if they do not produce a submission for a challenge once every 2 weeks. Content must be produced with the corporation member present in match and visible to count as valid for corporate retention. To reiterate, all player taxes and donations go directly to the Dust Challenge Lottery fund.

New Bonus: Joining either corporation upgrades the payout of all previously attempted Big Shot Bounty Challenges (under 20 tickets)

interesting, i must admit i have no idea what your true endgame is at this point but it certainly is entertaining watching you slowly move towards it.

Is it wierd I read it with a futurama nixon voice?

When that time comes I think you'll enjoy the revelation of why I really started this entire event.
Only two other people know.

are those two people exempt from the lottery?

Well, crap...I regret making that statement now. No, of the the two people, one person is not exempt. I might as well make the statement now.

This big factor that compelled me to start up the lottery was how 'this' issue actually went down.

Gamestop sends their codes through a third party service. I initially received a code for the $99.99 Elite pack which which was subsequently deleted from my purchase history by Gamestop without notice or a reversal to my credit card until I brought the matter before the Better Business Bureau. However, I had saved the code before its deletion and presented it to CCP game support, and the credited the pack to my account. Yet...about a week after CCP credited the packs to my account, Gamestop came back with a resolution notice that their investigation showed the item purchases (total $150) were not properly sent to me and they (Gamestop) fully reversed the charges. Basically, I have these items in the Dust Challenge Lottery, now free of charge....and I felt like I had 'stolen' something. In response to this inner pull of integrity, I chose not to notify CCP of the BBB resolution and instead take these gains and turn it into a way to give back to the community far more than $150 ever could.

Essentially, I am running this lottery on 'complimentary' goods.

I will give you all my isk for the code if its not redeemed

You can't handle the truth.........

Hi there,

I submitted an inquiry about the purchase and delivery of my ethnic Seal Rugs. I was wondering if there was a hold up or some manufacturing malfunction. I have contacted your customer service department numerous times with no answer. I hope this matter can be corrected as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time,

Bah! I thought you were going to say this was some big scam.

I must be missing something, but I don't see any real reason to join either corporation. So we play to pay for a lottery, while receiving minimal returns in exchange? Leaving most of it to chance.

Way too much information for me to process, and way too much work. Though I really want to knife someone out of a dropship now.
