And that's the end of that chapter.
It's also the end of the first E-Hentai Yuletide Lottery, and I bet everyone is just buzzing with anticipation, to the extent one can do such a thing over monopoly money won on a hentai site. Everyone who posted in the Yuletide thread before the deadline got one ticket plus one ticket for each Henjutsu Level they had at the time of the drawing. This worked out to a total of 2451 tickets, from which there is one lucky winner.
In the spirit of transparency, this is the code which picked out the winner for this year's competition.
CODE
$entrants = $DBHandler->db_select_field_array('SELECT DISTINCT author_id FROM ibf_posts WHERE author_id<>6 AND topic_id=16082 AND post LIKE "%GLITTERING PRIZES%"', DB_IPB);
$levels = $DBHandler->db_select_keyed_array('SELECT ipb_id, hlevel FROM Userlist WHERE ipb_id IN ('.implode(',', $entrants).')', DB_DMS, 'ipb_id');
$ticketarray = array();
foreach($entrants as $uid) {
$ticketarray = array_merge($ticketarray, array_fill(0, $levels[$uid]['hlevel'] + 1, $uid));
}
$winner = $ticketarray[mt_rand(0, count($ticketarray) - 1)];
echo 'The winner, picked from '.count($ticketarray).' tickets, is: '.$DBHandler->db_select_field('SELECT members_display_name FROM ibf_members WHERE id='.$winner, DB_IPB).' ('.$winner.')';
So, without further adieu, let's spin the wheel and see on whom the needle lands!
The winner, picked from 2451 tickets, is: hitokiri84 (35834)Congratulations, hitokiri84! You win the Glittering Prize of 10000 Credits, 100 Hath and 1 Aura Point.
