UPDATE - RED LIGHT SALE INFO

[Admiral Striker General]

Normally sales here on VC are unannounced and last anywhere between a few days and a week. This sale, however, is special, and I thought you might all like some warning so you can start saving up now.

In right about a month, on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2011 also known as BLACK FRIDAY here in the US-

EVERY. SINGLE. THING. IN THE GRAND ERAN EMPORIUM, ALSO KNOWN AS THE 'MAIN SHOP', WILL BE

HALF. PRICE.

This includes RARE CANDIES.[/u]

ONE DAY ONLY. |D Be sure to find time for VC that day~

OH
MY
GOD
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

xD lololol I somehow read Black Jack Friday earlier...

[Admiral Striker General]

So I was talking to various people about various parts of this, but to make it official--

Sale runs from MIDNIGHT TERE'S TIME (that was a little over an hour ago at the time of posting this! SALE'S ON, GAIZ~) until the next day's MIDNIGHT ELAYNE'S/PACIFIC TIME (which is 4am for Tere, 3am Eastern, etc)! X3 BECAUSE WE CAN, that's why! xP So 28 instead of 24 hours just to stretch it out.

ALSO-

THERE WILL BE A SUPER SPECIAL SECRET AWESOME RED LIGHT SALE[/u]

There are four ways I figure this can be done. I could announce here "hey guys, the SUPER sale will be at (time)". But then everyone will just wait until that time and pile on. I could wait until a random time in the day to go "SUPER SALE FOR THE NEXT HOUR" and make you all camp, but then it would look like I was waiting to favor certain people, not to mention my own advantage I'd have either way.

So the other two more fair ways involve deciding AFTER everyone buys when the sell "WAS". I could roll dice to pick an hour or something, but then there's a chance no one would win and fuck that; VC likes giving people cool things. (And by VC I mean SG. *shot*)

SO.

AFTER the sale ends, I will count how many people bought things, and roll a that-many-sided dice to pick TWO PEOPLE. (I may drop it to one if not many people get online, or I may up it to three or maaaaayyybe four (though I highly doubt either of those) if a whole lot of people suddenly flood this thing. The target number is two though.) Whoever the dice selects can have THEIR CHOICE of:

• half the money they spent, or $14,000, whichever is less, REFUNDED
  (This option is good if you got your fill of candy, if your refund amount isn't enough to afford what you want anyway, and/or if you want money for things like breeding fees, things in member shops, etc.)
  or
  
• half the money they spent back for immediate use on shop items, with EXTENDED BLACK FRIDAY PRICES
  (This option is good if you want moar candiez. Extension only works for one additional purchase, though, and you must spend ALL of that half that you get back, or at least within $500. That is, if you get back $5000, the least you're allowed to spend on this last-minute purchase is $4500.)
  or
  
• TWO THIRDS of the money they spend back for immediate use on shop items, with extended Black Friday prices, EXCLUDING Pokemon with a listed price over $1500 (before sale is counted) and candy.
  (This option is good if you got enough candy/your refund amount isn't enough for many/any more, and/or if you want some weak Pokemon or if you've been meaning to stock up on any kind of PokeBalls, Forme Items, Hold Items, etc.)

X3 Hopefully those are some tough but awesome choices, hehe~

8'3 Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go stock up the Pokemon so everyone has moar tough awesome choices when they wake up/get on.

-----

THERE. X3 Added some fucking awesome Pokemon.

(X3 Also, the Magnemite that was in the shop evolved. Because it just did, that's why.)

ALSO, there is a new Forme item for DARMANITAN which affects more than looks (though looks too!). :> Be sure to check that out if you like Zen Mode.

........... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

8'D SO FLORA IS FUCKING AMAZING SO

I'm adding a bit more to this that is actually useful anyway.

Mods. Please DO NOT update threads as they happen. Because...

You know what happens on Black Friday along with sales?

PEOPLE FIGHT OVER SHIT.

And you know what happens on VC anyway when cool things are for good prices?

BID WARS.

XD BUT BUT BUT~

Just for fun.

I have decided with Flora's suggestion

That if you want to bid against someone for something, whether you try to outbid them by $100 or $3000 (I AM going to make a $100 minimum; no $1 crap)

YOU HAVE TO RP FIGHTING OVER IT.

HAVE TO. XD

It can be as simple as "Hey, I wanted that!" and slight D:-ness or as in-depth as huge brawls, but you have to do SOMETHING.

If you do not RP the fight when trying to outbid, your bid will be ignored.

HAVE FUN GUYS~<3

OH GOD... FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT :U *shot*

[Admiral Striker General]

RED LIGHT SALE.

*SIREN NOISE! SIREN NOISE! SIREN NOOOISE!*

Since we had eleven buyers and eleven rounds up to twelve in SG's head we're gonna have a fourth of the people get awesome winnings, which means three winners! In order rolled, we have-

• KITSUNAII
  Who spent $1790, which I'm going to round to 1800 because SG likes rounded numbers. She can get back $900 to keep or to spend on anything, or $1200 to spend on select stuff, with extended price cuts for one trip for both the latter.
  
  
• SG
  ... :'3; Because I feel bad, but I rolled fairly. :'3; I spent $20550 which I'm going to round down to $20500 because I still like rounded numbers but don't want to round up for myself. So I'm going to take the second option and get $10250 back to spend on whatever.
  
  
• WINDCHIMESONG
  Who spent a grand total of $10175, which I'm going to round up to $10200. She can get back $5100 to keep or to spend on anything, or $7650 to spend on select items, with extended price cuts for one trip for both the latter.

\o/ Whoo..

(Please note that events which will soon take place will not affect the Red Light Sale as it is being treated as if people just happened across stores at the right time on early "Friday". Of course at the time of posting these upcoming events are still secret and anyone reading this before that announcement is posted will only be confused but just remember this will become important and you'll see why.)

[Rarity]

:'3 I want the $1200 to spend on 'select stuff', whatever that means~

[Admiral Striker General]

TWO THIRDS of the money they spend back for immediate use on shop items, with extended Black Friday prices, EXCLUDING Pokemon with a listed price over $1500 (before sale is counted) and candy.

It means for the love of God buy that poor Rotom before it gets exploded. xD;
