So this is a bit out there and could possibly greatly influence the game's future.

Once a year during the Birdsong Trading Company giveaway the winners will all be give a "scratch off ticket" each time they win.
Once the event is over one of the players will have their ticket turn gold.

The player who has the golden ticket is given the ability to ask the Dev team to create one new item for the game.

Naturally this will have a couple of requirements.

No copyrighted stuff
Nothing offensive
Must use mechanics already in the game
Will be a Basil only recipe that branches off of an existing line.
Armors and Helms will be done together (so possibility of 2 new items but they would be a set)
The item will be balanced by OOO
anything else OOO wants to add

_______________

Once the item is finished it will be added to the game and the player with the gold ticket will receive the new item already fully heated along with a three UV ticket.

If the winner does not claim their prize in time then the gold ticket will expire and someone else's ticket will turn gold. The regular tickets expire after 150 days so you can't save them for next year but it does offer multiple resets if the gold ticket keeps getting passed around.
