I'm not the OP, but thank you for the explanation! It's the best one I've heard so far, I admit to being curious as to why Lightning was holding a raffle for a simple profit push.
As a parenthesis, I will have to agree with you that it doesn't seem the most efficient way to profit (were you guys originally planning to conquest, or was it going to be a random raffle?), and will add that I've also seen complaints that Lightning never finished drawing winners on the OOF raffle for Earth Day Thunder, it was left to die after a while.
I don't mean to be rude, I know there are at least a few individuals there working their collective butts off, you sound like one of those people. I do think raffles are cute and all, even if they are "random", I love to gift/donate when possible too. It's, uh... maybe you guys need to have a little bit of work done in that internal organization aspect, is all :/
It was planned solely as a fundraising raffle and originally intended to be smaller in scale. Our profit push wasn't really announced until about a week before, and we were already gathering prizes, etc. for the raffle by then.
I was not around for Earth Day Thunder, so I don't know anything about that. :/ I admit that for a flight known for organization, I don't feel like we're actually /that/ organized, especially with some members being busy with real-life issues. But that's definitely something the dom leadership is working on.
