Edit: Since it is now 20Dec23, betting is closed.
I've been wanting to run a game like this for a long time. It's just for fun!
It works mostly like any other pool, with a minor adjustment to deal with the fact that, in Sylestia, it isn't possible to send gold directly to another player. (No Diamond entries.)
1. Decide on what day you think the Winter Festival will actually begin.
2. Post your guess here. Do ping me. And don't PM me. (This is an exception to my usual rule.) Yes, you are allowed to guess a date that does not fall within the range given in the MotD!
3. Immediately before or after posting your guess, send me one or more items that are suitable for being sold back to the game. Examples are a Fairy Mushroom or a piece of Equipment. It is perfectly okay to bet one Fairy Mushroom, but remember, the more you bet, the larger your share of the prize if you are a winner. I will document your guess and your bet and then accept your trade.
I will sell the items to the game to create the Winter Festival Pool. Once the Winter Festival actually starts, I will divide the Pool proportionately among all who guessed correctly. (for my very first attempt at running a pool, there won't be a vig--that is, I won't get a percentage.) I'll PM each winner to let them know how much they've won. Then each winner mushrooms me for the amount of their prize. I will return the item you send so that you lose nothing when claiming your prize--even Fairy Mushrooms. Piccolo has promised not to eat them!
*grumble* Why Father Frost gotta be watching me?
20Dec23: The Pool finished at 82,429 gold!
Update of 21Dec23: Just waiting for the Winter Festival to actually begin.

Yes, but I'm not going to post the amount more often than once per day.
