Prizebox questions.

First of all, I donated directly from $50 donor to $200 donor but I only got one prizebox. Shouldn't I get 2 ?
Since you get one , according to Matthew's automated PM, per $50 donated above $100 donor.

Also, what is the pricecheck on a prizebox?

Thank you in advance.

 

From what I understand you have to be a $100+ donor at the time of the donation to receive a prizebox. So if you start at $50 and donate $100, you won't receive any. So I think you got lucky.

There aren't a ton of prizeboxes being traded, but for a PC I'd say $5-20.

The rules are, restated:
IF you already have made $100 or more worth of donations THEN for every donation you make over $50 from now on you will get a prizebox.

IF you already have made $100 or more worth of donations AND you make a donation greater than $50 THEN the number of prizeboxes you receive is the amount of the donation divided by $50, rounded down.

Care must be taken to maximise the number of prizeboxes you will get for your donations. Here are some clarifying examples:

• If you have $100+ donor status and you donate $100, then you will receive TWO prizeboxes.
• If you have $100+ donor status and you donate $25 and then another $25 you will receive NO prizeboxes, as the donation amount has to be equal to or over $50 to win a prizebox.
• If you have $100+ donor status and you donate $50 you will receive ONE prizebox.
• If you have $100+ donor status and you donate $55 you will receive ONE prizebox.
• If you have $50+ donor status and you donate $50 you will receive NO prizebox. However you will then be at $100 donor status so a second $50 donation would get you a prizebox.
• However if you have $50+ donor status and you donate $100 you will receive NO prizebox because at the time of the donation you were not a $100+ donor.

The minirank prizes are randomized in such a way as to preserve the rarity of rare miniranks. The chance of getting for example a penguin is very low. The algorithm automatically updates according to the current distribution of miniranks.

I hope that clarifies.

We're open for suggestions on the prizeboxes.

That should clear your questions. As Darkest Dream said, you won't receive a prizebox if you donate $100 when you are a $50 donor at the time. It's better to donate $50, then donate $100 to receive two. I find it silly.

That's dumb. It should be 'x' amount of prizeboxes for the amount donated. E.G - If you donate $400, you shouldn't have to donate it in 8 $50 increments, it should be just 1 sum and 8x prizeboxes. Ah well.

If you're a 100$ donor, and proceed to donate another 200$, you will receive 4 prizeboxes, it already works that way.

Oh that's fair enough then..

 

Kinda silly, so if I donated in 2 increments. 50-100 and then 100-200 I would've gotten ?
Is it possible for an admin to give me an extra one ?

Yes.

Doubt it. It's specifically made to do what it does.

 

My own fault I guess.
Can be closed thanks.

 

Chechen pm Roary about this I'm sure he will give you another prizebox.
