Lottery - suggestion

[Grimrock Litless]

Just something I had my mind on for sometime now.

Opening a lottery in the game which means that people can have a chance to get a big pot of money for how much tickets you buy.

To open a lottery, it costs 10 mill + extra money invested and 50 credits, 50% of the 10 mill will be placed as the starting pot + extra money invested.

The host can have the following settings, how many can a player buy, how much per ticket, how much % of the player's pay will be at house (you keep), how long is it, guild members only or free for all or nationmen only and how many winners, range from 1 - 10 winners (also how much can each winners win from the pot.)

Let's say, 50 percent and player pays 100gc, you keep 50 and 50 is added to the pool and let's say there can be 4 winners, 1st keep 40% 2nd keeps 30% and 3rd keeps 20% and 4th keep 10% (All together most become 100% or it will not work.)

At the end of the lottery, the host can claim how much money is earned with in 3 days, if not, it auto collects.

Nations can have a lottery tax of 0 - 20% of how much money you get.

Edit : added a few more setting.

While I like the idea of lotteries, I don't think that individual players should be able to establish them. I think these should be done by Nations.

You know, mathematicians have this saying: "Lotteries are tax on people who don't know statistics"

I want individual to establish them, because, first, guild members can have guild lotto, secondly, I want normal people to be able to open one but have it being costly, so one cannot just keep spaming em.

I'll do an INFORMAL lottery for you, if you like, so you don't have to wait for new game mechanics to be implemented: HARON'S LOTTERY!

Each ticket costs 10 credits, payable by sending the credits to me. After one month, I'll draw one lucky winner who will get 90% of all those credits! Come play - maybe YOU will be the winner!

I'll even post a list of all participants and how many tickets they bought in the forum when I announce the winner, so everyone can see that the price actually is 90% of the total. Oh, and T'zak Ryn members will not be allowed to participate.

What's the starting pot?

[Haron]

The pot is equal to how many tickets are sold times ten credits. 90% of this is the prize the winner gets. So, of I sell 100 tickets, the prize is 900 credits. There will only be one winner, though.

And tickets are being sold! The winner will be announced on October 1st. Yes, this IS happening! Buy your tickets today!
