Many of us were already aware that today is the celebration of Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night. In UK, on 5th of November 1605 Guy Fawkes (a member of Gunpowder gang) was arrested while guarding the explosives which would have killed King James I with the explosion of House of Lords. To celebrate the survival of King James I, Guy Fawkes day is celebrated all over UK. Fast forward to 1982, comic book illustrator David Lloyd created a mask for the title character V based upon the notorious Guy Fawkes. Ever since the release of the movie based on the comics released in 2005, anyone who is protesting against the government would be wearing the mask and it gradually became a symbol for anonymity.

We sometimes depict satoshi face with a human wearing the Guy Fawkes mask and to commemorate this day, here is a special raffle being conducted! I initially thought of creating this #8 raffle to sync with Whitepaper day which falls of October 31 but since that has been a common occurrence in our forum, I skipped the date and launched the raffle on 5th of November.

Talks apart, we are experiencing the 2 year new highs and I hope everyone are enjoying this bull run with their portfolios turning dark green. With an all time high nearing, our forum will most likely be experiencing huge influx of Indian newbies to claim signature campaigns and bounties and it is our responsibility to turn them into constructive users in the forthcoming months. As of today, the price is around $14,900 ~ ₹11,00,000 per bitcoin which is a huge rise since the last raffle and the winner would be receiving ₹1,100.

As I have already said in the ANN topic, these fun lotteries will be hosted each month and the rules are same as the previous. With the April cooling period coming to an end as of October, @amishmanish can start participating in these raffles starting from this month until they win another.

About the Game :

1. This is a pretty simple and quite interesting game, where there would be 16 spots from 0-9 and a-f. Each person should pick one character and post in the reply of this topic along with their bitcoin address.

2. Once all the 16 spots are filled, I will choose one single future block to be mined. For instance person X has chosen '8' as their spot and I have chosen block #655548. Here the hash of the block #655548 is 00000000000000000002e90d64af78c419dd677de35a6fc8955f80822349b34c which determines that c is the winning character.

3. The person who has chosen the correct character wins the prize amount of 0.001BTC (Please note that 0.001BTC is kinda cheaper but in terms of our economy it costs around 1,100 INR which is much better)

As per rules, they are mostly the same as followed in the previous raffle topics

Rules :

1. The game is strictly restricted only to Indian forum members. If you are someone outside India or hailing from nearby countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, you are not allowed to participate in this game.

2. Previous raffle/lottery winners cannot participate in the upcoming games for 6 months. Let us give others a chance to win some bitcoins. You can consider this 6 months as a cooling period like if some X has won the game in May, they can participate only in the December raffle. Our local community is so small such that I have reduced the period to 6 months. If in future, we rise up to one of the most populated local boards I might change the rule such that the game winners cannot participate in the upcoming lotteries for over a year.

3. There are 16 spots and only 1 slot per person is allowed and more importantly I cannot give you any random spots. Once I have updated the slot in OP, there is no changing of slot numbers. Please see to the filled spots in OP/ have an eye on picked up spots by others before posting your slot number in reply.

4. Newbies are allowed to participate, but you shouldn't have made your first post in this topic and You might have been a old guy but isn't really an active poster.

5. This topic is only for playing the game and all the other discussions and doubts regarding the raffle or future game ideas should be posted only in the Indian Raffle Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5213474.0) topic.

6. Bounty Hunters are not allowed to participate in the game. Even though if you are from India, the board doesn't need bounty hunters who are chiming here only for profits or earning money from this forum.

Its amazing how historical events become mainstream. The Guy Fawkes image really became mainstream in India after the movie "V for Vendetta" i guess. So much so that while Holi shopping 2 years back, I found the mask in one of those basic provision shops. This is a very mofussil place in Bundelkhand region I am talking about. That mask is still has a place in the back of my car..:)

I am picking up alphabet  "f"
