The coconut winners will be listed here, as well as announced on the LoZ site.
Starting with a mega-paste then will add new winners as they happen.

The CoZ Coconut Raffles Are Starting Again!
Since the recent site makeover we hoped things would get fixed so we could have a clean method of doing the raffles again, but now that any hope of Jolt fixing table sorting and the Gift Log has passed, it's time to use other methods to get the job done.
So what I've done is setup an Online Petition at:
www.petitiononline.com/CoZNuts/petition.html
To enter the raffle, just go to the site and sign the petition using your CoZ clan name. You can comment too if you like, but it won't improve your odds of winning.
Every so often, probably weekly, I'll generate a random winner from the list of petition signers and give out probably 6 nuts to the winner.
Please sign the petition only one time per CoZ member name, (yes if you have 5 you can enter all 5 in the raffle). Signing the same name more than once might be grounds for disqualification. The same list will be used for each raffle and the name will be checked against the member list before any nuts are given away.
If you have any excess coconuts that you would like to donate to the clan, they are always appreciated.
This will be posted on the message board as well if you have any comments or questions.

@gomer Sting: The first winner of 6 Nuts is #18: 1337cr3w (LeetCrew)!!!!
It is highly recommended you use these nuts to buy the Amfiz Amulet which will save you many APs over the course of your life in Zork.
More winners to come!!!

@gomer Sting: If you are wondering how to give the clan Coconuts, go to Buy Advantages, then the Clan tab, and there you can donate them.
I noticed a coconut in my account so someone donated it directly to me instead of the clan. (yes I passed it on to the clan).
Thanks,

@gomer Sting: Yeah I donated ten the other day, I will donate more for this raffle. I will take myself out of it as well. I have fun donating more than taking from people who actually need the nuts. Congrats to the winner! Goodluck to everyone else in the drawing. Happy Ventures.

@gomer Sting: Congrats to 1337cr3w(LeetCrew), if I got that name right. My favorite part of this contest is the funny comments on the coconut petition.

@gomer Sting: Grats to the winner! I hope he does make the right choice on using the coconuts for that Amfiz Amulet... (Which I could use that Jewel for my entire Zork adventures...)

@raspe: Chat got nuked by the site overlords. Blamed it on spammers, but probably just too lazy to make it more functional, like allowing mods to delete posts.

@raspe: Bumping this on top of the last thing I bumped....
Also due to the sale on Amfiz Amulets this weekend, we will be having a few extra lottery winners for 4 nuts each (the cost of the Amfiz). I'll give some more members a chance to sign the petition before selecting the next winners.
btw, in case you were wondering how the winners are chosen, I use the tool at:
www.random.org/integers/
to pick a number from the list of folks who have signed the petition.
Enjoy,

@gomer Sting: Congrats new winners. I notice the quantity of prize coconuts is again an even number. Must the nuts always be in pairs? I say yes!

From Gomer Sting at 00:27 18 April 2010
DiiDii: The prize amount is the same as the cost of the Amfiz Amulet, which we encourage everyone to get. The amulet is on sale this weekend so the prize dropped to 4 nuts and we'll draw some extra winners so more clan members can get it.
I'll pick a couple more in a bit, just getting settled in from work.
And yes, nuts should always come in pairs, if you've read any of my more juvenile late night posts on the subject you'll find that I agree with your logic.
