I'm pleased to announce that the Ironbound will be holding a limited edition raffle.

As some may be aware, the Ironbound are building a physical headquarters in Oldtown. We understand that many residents in the area - and other kind souls who care for the wellbeing of such residents - might have some concerns regarding the long-term impact such a dramatic spark may ignite.

While we are aware of and are attempting to avoid some of the most obviously undesirable outcomes, the Ironbound are neither omniscient nor omnipotent - particularly as this is our first time handling such a large project. We humbly urge Oldtown as a community to communicate their concerns and difficulties directly to us.

All that being said, the proceeds for this particular raffle will go entirely to funding a tuition-free educational institution that will attempt to cater to the educational needs of Oldtown residents.

Thank you for bearing with me this far. Now, finally, I will list the prizes that may be won. These three prizes on offer are all limited edition items. See Announce posts 269 and 115.

1st Place - Winner's choice of: a limited edition arcade machine (5 batteries included), a HugTech Friend-o-Matic[R], or a miniature blood darter.
2nd Place - Choice of the remaining two prizes from above.
3rd Place - The final prize that was not claimed by 1st or 2nd place.
