Ultrasabers Spring Raffle ends 04/11/2017

[Isola815]

Isola, care to move this to a thread of your own called the "Isola Challenge"?

Sounds like a fun idea though. I'll make a new thread when I get back to the hotel. What section do you think it should live in?

[James Casey]

Arguably Off Topic but Discussions seems best.

I think the yellow actually works quite well with that shade of Crimson.  

Point for the nice pics! Congrats on the new saber, too.

I agree I like the red hilt / yellow blade combo - Ronny would be proud.

The Isola Challenge ... hmmm I feel tempted by the Dark Side. What better time then if one is a Grand Prize winner, huh?

   You've started something fresh and cool here!

Firstly, I would definitely make some rules to follow the same format you did, like this:
1) Hilt, LED blade color and Flash on Clash are the THREE (3) components you will draw for
2) A minimum of 10 sabers must be selected and no more than 15
3) You have to be willing to embrace the outcome
4) You get ONE (1) "Throw Away" blade color, if you don't like the color you drew
5) This challenge is intended for single LED color sabers, including Tri LEDs, but Emerald/Diamond is ok, too, as long as they share their impressions in a video review before changing the color.
6) After the hilt, LED blade color and FoC are randomly drawn, you get to choose everything else.

I would put it here, since every participant will be posting a video of their "Isola Challenge":
Saber Forum | General Chat | Videos

I agree that here would be appropriate, too:
Saber Forum | Ultra Sabers Discussion

Indeed.  Well said, well said.

Now you're talking. Wouldn't that be an amazing story, that you ordered a new saber as a raffle entry, by complete self-enforced random drawings, letting the Force guide you and that you won a prize in the raffle. The Emerald would be fantabulous, but any prize would still be a pretty memorable one.

This is made of pure win.

Has the Isola Challenge thread been made yet?

[Lord Bladewraith]

Thanks, Mask.  I think it'll be an awesome experience for many.

Isola said he'd maybe be able to do it when he gets back to his hotel room, since he's on a business trip, and it's only 11:47 am there, so probably around the middle of the night for us here.

[Isola815]

It will be there for y'all when you wake up.

I'm working out the finer points of the rules and will post up a thread in roughly 4 hours when I'm back in the hotel as it will be easier to do on the PC than on my phone.

I was expecting Prowl 1701 to immediately be like . . .




Prophecy?  Did someone say . . . Prophecy?

[Galactic Overlord]

The problem is, the Isola challenge is ripe for cheating for those with dark side tendencies.

If you really don't like the saber you randomly drew, just start another video, repeat until you end up with a saber you like, then post the video.

Now that's some Sith thinking there!

Excellent specs there, LC. RGBA is going to be just beautiful with that Dark Prophecy. Congrats on your raffle 2 year anniversary and that MEME... it's perfect!  Actually, that could very well be Master Nero, too. It's hilarious!

Point for this announcement and good luck to you in the raffle, good sir.

Fortunately, this isn't any sort of contest, and there is no incentive to be a cheater.  Maybe a little cliche, but if you cheat, you're just cheating yourself of a cool experience.   Anyone who "cheats" for this particular idea missed the point.  

Anywho... this is starting to slip off topic a little, soooo back to the raffle... yay! 

Anyone else wanna share what they ordered for the Spring Raffle?

Anyone else wanna share what they ordered for the Spring Raffle?

Yeah ya wanna know what's trippy?

I thought the raffle ended 4/ 17 /2017 ... what!?  WHY would I think that!?  

LB ... your response to Darth Cephalus' raffle question showed me the light, lol!  Now the raffle ends a week sooner than my brain thought.  

WOO HOO!
