Find the Golden Magikarp - 3/3 Karps claimed!

Verbatim · August 02, 2016, 02:43:56 AM

Okay, so here's just a fun little idea I came up with.

I have 500 avatars.

499 of them are regular Magikarp.

1 of them is a Shiny Magikarp.

Looks like this:

The first three people to find the gold Magikarp and send me a screenshot of it will get something nice.

That's pretty much it. Happy hunting!

- Despite having found the first Karp almost immediately, Thrasher has humbly declined his reward. Still up for grabs.
- Incan has claimed Karp #1.
- Braixen has claimed Karp #2.
- Ian has claimed Karp #3.

I guess 0.2% isn't as rare as I thought... Ah well. These three users have won $10 worth of credit on Amazon.

Thanks for playing!

Verbatim · August 02, 2016, 03:05:02 AM

I just played for fun. You can give the reward to the next person to get the golden magikarp.

Good point. I'll add a special marking to the gif's background so that I'll know.

All right, fair enough. That was pretty funny, though.

I need to play the lotto later tonight when the stores open. I can't believe how lucky I was.

this thread reminded me of the time when i was playing pokemon ruby and i accidentally ran away from the only shiny magikarp ive ever encountered in the wild. kid me was PISSED. im still kinda pissed.

Ian · August 02, 2016, 08:07:59 AM

I used to play Runescape back in middle school, a grind like this was nothing. I'll send a PM for assurance.

I'll try and make it harder next time

Oh.

Wait, that's how it showed up for you, too? Right away like that?

Jeez. Unless you just refreshed (more likely), the chances of that happening twice in a row are 1/250K, or 0.0004%...

I thought about throwing in a Gyarados, but I couldn't decide what should happen if you found one.

It would have to be something non-monetary, because I'm not made of that shit.
