    I somehow can't find the order number, just invoice number. It's been a long day.

    @skorous said: I have ordered one and my order number is: 7376288853 . I'm okay being first and figure we'll work something out if it turns out I get screwed by the process instead of just poor luck. I am a good sport.

    Hold up I'm not trying to screw you over. Right now the odds are all wrong, if they're added together for just memory that means if you spun the wheel forever, then the average plan you get would be 486MB memory which was not intended. It was supposed to be balanced. I guess my brain might have had a malfunction when I originally divided it out.

    No wait my brain didn't have a malfunction then, it had one now. The average would be 1459MB which is fine, it's above the original.

    Okay here's my idea then to improve complicate it anyway.

    You also have the option to roll a second wheel. Originally I wanted to do two wheels or equal but opposite, but I'm just going to go wild with it, this wheel is going to be high risk and not very balanced. It's just cool ideas I started putting on the wheel. This is very risky, if you roll this with a 384, it could mean there's a chance you completely lose your service. And other weird stuff. Read it all.

    • Double Specs - All specs doubled. Including IP
    • Roll Two Times - You get two more rolls. This could technically go on and on if you keep landing on it.
    • Move to Furthest Location - Your service gets transferred as far away as possible from your selected location, this could be a good thing for some since it could mean you get moved to Tokyo. I'll make best effort to figure out where that is. Actually we'll probably just trust ChatGPT, even if it's wrong.
    • Split In Half - Your service gets split in half. You get a courtesy extra IP or core if necessary. Keep in mind this also splits port speed in half, disk, whatever's possible
    • Nothing - You lose your turn and get nothing.
    • Reroll - You have to reroll the results for the original wheel, which overwrites the original results, and you have to roll this wheel again afterward. Will happen automatically after these results (you don't decide.)
    • Double CPU, Half RAM - Double your CPU but halve the RAM.
    • Halve Specs - All specs halved, if possible.
    • Next Plan Up - Get moved over to the next Christmas deal up. If you're 5120 that means 8192.
    • Next Plan Down/Terminate - Get moved over to the next Christmas deal down. If you're 384 it's game over, there isn't a next plan down. Service is terminated and we keep your money or if I'm generous I'll just give you a tiny plan that's useless anyway.
    • Merge - Your service gets merged into your last purchased service with us. If you do not have any other services with us, nothing happens.
    • Transfer - Your service gets transferred to the customer that rolled this wheel (not the first) before you. If you are the first person to roll, it gets transferred to me or I'll figure something out. By participating in this you understand you might end up getting someone else's service.
    • Opposite Last Roll - Do the opposite (as best as possible, decided by me) of the last roll on this wheel. This could be your own roll or someone else's roll.
    • Half Duration - You lose a year on your biennial service.
    • Double Duration - You get another 2 years on your biennial service.
    • Third Wheel - A third wheel gets created exclusively for you that you can choose to spin with some of the outtakes from this one.
    • Add 1GB RAM
    • Double Bandwidth
    • Add 2 IP Addresses - If you don't want them, you can spin again.
    • Ultimate Cursed Idler - You'll get upgraded to an NVMe32G but it's effectively unusable. I can keep powering it down, reinstall it, migrate it around without notice, and other shenanigans as long as it's still assigned to your account and an NVMe32G. Both parties are allowed to attempt to negotiate on LES to lift parts of or all of the curse.
    • Add 1 Core
    • Add 50GB Disk

    If someone notices an issue with this wheel let me know, the wheel I'm spinning is in the screenshot, I don't know if I made a mistake or not, but all results still stand if you chose to spin it and it had some error.

    Okay I need to center the recording better, let me know if you want to spin the second wheel.

    It's the same, you get to just spin an additional wheel now if desired.

    @VirMach will the renewal pricing for the Hannukah Specials change after the initial billing period (especially for those who got modified CPU/RAM specs)?

    If there are price changes in the future, refer to what I've said about price changes in the past. We haven't done them, I don't know if they will be happening. The only thing I can say though is that it will definitely NOT be based on what you did or did not receive as that would not be fair.

    Again this is all theoretical but we'd probably look and go "Hannukah plans, they're $18.88 per year, we need to raise the prices by X%" or something like that. I doubt we'd focus on these in any case ever, the quantities are so low.

    Edit -- Only exception I can think of is it they're involved in some IPv4 pricing change, so if that gets specifically targeted. I don't know. Also slapping on a disclaimer I'm just trying to answer you without having thought about it for more than 1 minute.

    I think I took too long to post my second wheel, everyone went away.

    Yup this was what I was worrying the most tbh. Thank you for confirming that!

    I got 2, just to test my luck lol. I'd like to run the 2nd wheel as well for both of them, whatever the outcome the 1st wheel gives :)

    Oooh not bad! But do I get it for both of my purchases? I thought it will roll for each :(

    I didn't notice you had two in the same order, so since I wasn't careful, I'll let you decide. Do you want to keep the spins as if they were done for the entire order, or do you want a second set of spins for the 2nd service?

    Okay you already answered me, I'll do another.

    No second wheel on this please, just catching up.

    You can order a candle now and post your order# here. Check the gifs on this page for the options you can win (you may get a smaller server then what you've purchased though - so be careful)

    5GB RAM plan, although not quite sure if this also includes upgrades of other component like CPU/Disk/etc.

    I've decided to do it anyway on these but I understand some people may not want to see what they would have gotten, so I'll use spoiler tags when it's rejected. It's mainly done just to keep track of everything and not have people quote later and ask for it, but also as potential psychological warfare.

    Confirmed, the second wheel doesn't count.

    Okay you're the luckiest person alive apparently.

    This is risky. I wouldn't recommend it unless you understand.

    Hold up I'm not trying to screw you over.

    Never thought you were. That was typed right after you said, "wait, if you're going early ....." So I was expressing confidence you'd work it out.

    @VirMach said: Okay you're the luckiest person alive apparently.

    I'll take that deal Howie. Gonna make an appearance with family before I post the second order from before, I'm afraid I might have used up my luck for the time being.

    Lol, I got dropped down to 384. I'll spin a second time. Not much to lose. :-D

    Order #2739561809

    This is my interpretation of this, if there's any disagreements speak now and I'll consider it.

    We specifically stated that Kris's wheel does not count and it's only for reference, so the last person that spun this second riskier wheel is Crab and therefore he gets your service whether he wants it or not. For future reference if this happens again, although unlikely, it will be the last wheel spin on the second wheel only that was not just for reference after rejection, and wheel spins can go in any order as I process them (it's not in the order posted, otherwise it would have said the last one that posted or something like that.) Just posting this in case I made a mistake, then i can retrace my steps if anyone says anything before I process it.

    I DO NOT WANT people to feel guilty if this occurs or to feel bad and transfer it back. Everyone knew this is a risk, so please don't do that. Think of it like one service got deleted and another created or something more positive, that Sanvit gifted it to Crab or we'll have to ruin the fun and pull the second wheel away and/or end the sale. Thank you.

    Tell your friend he better register and then give me his username, if he wants to negotiate. You can negotiate on his behalf too I suppose. I won't make it easy!
