Christmas Resident Appreciation Giveaway - Dec 25th - Jan 3rd (details inside)
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2020 11:16 am
Rez members,
As I posted here previously, I'd like to have a little "appreciation" give away, and course, I could just give you the credits, but what fun is that? So I came up with some ways to give away "free" credits, while still adding a little competition and fun. Probably not the best thought out, but hey, the idea is to give back to you for your support, so it can't be that bad.
In a nutshell, you could earn up 45 credits per/day over the 10 days, which is 450 credits for basically doing nothing other than racing and showing up to the forum each day. And if I did my math right, you could earn over 1000 credits if you accomplished everything.
And there's more... I had our friend Rharfo breed a top-level 2yo to give away at the end. Check out 12100056083 STILL GOT SKILLS. How can you win this horse? Glad you asked... for every accomplishment will get you one (1) "raffle" ticket. I will then take your tickets and put them into a random raffle generator and a random winner will be picked. I will try to keep a running total of how many "tickets" each resident has earned.
So here we go...
Rules:
- Must use NWRC-affiliated stables only.
- Anything involving races must not be "hot" or self-sponsored races.
- Credits and raffle entries will be tallied as often as I can throughout and will be paid at the end of the giveaway.
Prizes:
- Credits (TBD)
- Raffle entries for chance to win 12100056083 STILL GOT SKILLS
- Will also give away a prize horse to everyone else who does not win the horse above and also completes at least one of the below items. Will draw the selection order randomly.
The Giveaways:
Daily Rewards (Dec 25th - Jan 3rd): - These can be won EVERY day!!!
Win a race at any track (can be non-NWRC track) - 5 credits. Bonus: 5 credits added for every +5 odds starting at 5-1 (5-1 = 5 extra credits, 10-1 = 10, 15-1 = 15, etc)
