Little Tickers are scripted items that allow for the creation of a raffle. They can have their tickets customized by using a foraged item, a Bugs on Parade insect, or a Life Aquatic sea creature. They debuted at Rumor Woods in 2024 and are sold in its shop, Little Ticker.
Analyze
You analyze the sparrow contraption and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Little Ticker is a gnomic contraption designed to allow you to conduct a raffle. The tickets it produces are highly customizable. To create a raffle, follow these steps:
Ticket Setup:
* Design the base description of your ticket by creating a piece of Writing Paper with the noun of "ticket" in the Papermaker.
* Using a quill, write the terms of your raffle on your ticket.
* Feed your ticket to the contraption.
Customizing Ticket:
To further customize the LOOK of your ticket, you may feed it either a Life Aquatic Sea Critter, a Bugs on Parade Insect, or a Flower Press Flower.
To Distribute Tickets:
POINT the contraption at a player; this will assign the player to the raffle and provide you with a ticket that you can now give to the player.
To View Entrants:
READ the contraption to get a list of currently entrants in your raffle. Once you draw your raffle, you can read the contraption again to see the results. Please note, CLEAN clears this information.
To View Settings:
GAZE at the contraption to see a full list of your current settings.
Draw the Raffle:
PUSH the button on the contraption to have it randomly select a winner from the stored list. Distribution of the prize is on you, though we do recommend that if they aren't present, you mail them their prize. We also recommend that you post the winner of your raffle on the nearest town Message Board.
Please Note:
You may only enter 99 individuals in your raffle.
Alterations:
You may customize the contraption provided that it is some kind of machinery or mechanism wrought to resemble a creature. The LOOK will reflect basic settings, but you can give it a LONG description.
The adjective should only ever store a type of creature.
The contraption will always be made of metal.
You may change the SPONSOR or CREATOR field freely via WHISPER.
