I'm really starting to think you hate me.
❤️ This sale was much smaller than the last. Nothing personal.
dang, no invoice :/ will there be a second round of invoices going out for ppl who don't pay?
Perhaps. Depends on the number of unpaid folks after tomorrow is over. There's usually a handful of re-raffle caps, so it's likely not "over" over yet.
Dang. Nothing. I'm curious though, cause I put in for randoms and everything. How did that work? People can win 0/1/2? Or were they just what's left?
Someday the RNG gods will grant me their favor.
Congrats to winners.
There are a preset number of the total caps of each kind set apart for being invoiced exclusively as part of the random pool. At the start of the process, every entry is screened for compliance and assigned a random number using Microsoft's RAND() function. Then orders are organized from smallest random number to largest, and I go down the now-randomized list one by one filling orders until all possible direct sale and blind box quantities are sold out.
If you didn't get in to the sale, you either were assigned a large random number by the computer or the type(s) of caps you selected (including, potentially, blind box caps) were sold out by the time I got to your order. A few people entered for two blind boxes and only got one since they also got one of their direct sale selections, thereby reaching the 2-cap maximum without the second blind box cap.
The 2-cap maximum this sale helps to avoid a small number of folks ending up with a disproportionately large number of the caps by forcing an increased number of winners. However this sale was smaller than usual, so there were still a relatively small number of winners even in view of the lowered max limit.
Hope that clears it up!
