lottery on PoLlama?

luigi_fan64 · 07-13-2007

should PoLlama have a lottery say you buy a lotto ticket for 200 then 12 other people buy the lotto tickets for 200 then you have a 1/13th of a chance to win 2600 at the end of every week you could have a announcement about who won the lotto and then they get the credits.
note i took out the taxes idea so does this sound better to evryone?

I think once a week is too often. Maybe like once or twice a month. And I don't think you should have over 200 posts to enter. If they have 200 credit then they are somewhat active already. Fix a few things up then it might be a good idea. But I like how you're thinking to get people more active.

would that mean if there's at least 21 people that play, not only would there be a grand prize, everyone would get more back than they payed for?

And who would spread it out? If the winner is the one. Then there is more chance that they won't. And if a staff member have to then it's too much trouble for them and this idea doesn't even have a chance to get approved at all. I hate how you made this complicated. Well I hope that you will get the 2000 credits needed. Because that's the only way this will work. But either way I'm not taking part in it.

well lets just forget that taxes idea anyway but i thoguht maybe it could be done with some simple coding but maybe not.

This things kind of cool, but I think the whole negative credits thing really turns people off it, I know it did for me. I mean seriously you lose credits for spending credits so maximum loss of 290 and maximum gain of 90 that makes perfect sense. NOT!

Well, actually, it would more be a maximum gain of thousands if you win.
