Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure if there was something on this server like lottery. I suggest to make a lottery as known as Lotto. Eg: one ticket cost 2 donation qps, or 1 event or 30m zeny. Ticket has got 5 rows with accidentaly drawed DIFFERENTnumbers, each row consists of 6 numbers. Twice a week or 3 times in a week will be drawing of 6 DIFFERENT numbers. Numbers from 1-30. 3 numbers in one row - prize = 1 event qp. 4 numbers in one row - prize = 10 event qps. 5 numbers in one row - prize = 20 event qps. 6 numbers in one row - all event qps which were already paid by players in period of time from one drawing to next one. To make more funny this game I suggest to host it twice a week or max 3 times. ( Saturday & Wednesday or Thursday &Tuesday &Saturday) You cannot join together numbers from rows, I mean you can get only one prize from best score. But you are able to buy as many tickets as you wish. I think this idea will help some new players to get some money/stuff. If there is now winner [ all correct numbers] spot is staying and adding to next drawing! Edited September 2, 2009 by Adamxd
Xtopher Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 But the question is: Will people actually play it? Let me make sure I got this straight. Five rows of six digit numbers, and you get a pay off according to your best match on the randomly generated lotto number of six digits. I'm guessing you don't have to get the numbers in the exact order that the lotto generates them so if my number was 123456 and the winning lotto number was 654321 I would still win as my six numbers matched the winning six numbers. Another thing: What if two players had the same numbers and both won the "jackpot" (6 correct digits). Who would get the coupons? This seems like fun but I see two major problems. 1. Scripting this properly seems like it would take time, if it's not done properly and people are capable of abusing it, the server's whole economy would go to crap. 2. Getting people to actually play it. The probability seems fair enough because you get five rows of numbers from one ticket, but its still a risk most probably wont take.
Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) LOL NO : eg numbers: 1 , 9, 12, 13, 17, 30 I had eg: 2, 4, 12, 13, 17, 27. I got 3 good numbers: i won 1 event qp. I tihnk they will play cuz its fun and cheap. Well if its hard to make, gm could draw numbers. Edited September 2, 2009 by Adamxd
Xtopher Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 So they have to be in a distinct order? If so the probability of winning big is GREATLY decreased. For example: if i had 123456 but the winning numbers were 264153 I would win nothing because its not in the right order? Also, will the winning numbers be completely random or a random number from the ones that people bought. Like if only one person plays then he's guaranteed to win. Or on the other hand if 100 ppl play is it possible for no one to win? A lot of variables go into lottery systems, it's important that its well thought out.
Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) WHAT ORDER MANG! numbers from 1 to 30 read exactly. 6 different numbers. i tot its clearly writen. All info are in the text above. READ CAREFUlly. Edited September 2, 2009 by Adamxd
Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 your signature really makes me lol I will change it if you fell badly with it. BACK TO TOPIC PLS
Yuki Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Kind of confusing for me at first, but I think I'm starting to get it. Anyways, I think it might be interesting to see this in-game.
Millenia Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I will change it if you fell badly with it. BACK TO TOPIC PLS pls keep it. it makes me realize how mch u <3 me ^_^
Yuki Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Please stay on topic; if you have something you'd like to talk about, take it to PM's or any other form of messenger.
» Pat Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) To whoever would have to code this: my sincerest condolences. Maths.</////////////3 & I think the order shouldn't matter. Finding 6 numbers in a particular order would equal a winning-chance of 1 in 15.54 million. Edited September 2, 2009 by » Pat
Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I didn't mention about order. I already gave an example. , <-----GOT DAT etc 6 numbers... Edited September 2, 2009 by Adamxd
Xtopher Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 To whoever would have to code this: my sincerest condolences. Maths.</////////////3 & I think the order shouldn't matter. Finding 6 numbers in a particular order would equal a winning-chance of 1 in 15.54 million. I'm glad you understood what I was trying to say... Apparently he doesn't get it. It's a good idea but you'll need a coder with some math skills. And even then; there's no guarantee more than 4-6 bored people will ever play. I feel that the person capable of doing this should be doing something a little more important or productive.
Adamxd Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Ok its just my suggestion, I understood, but i tot gm Team has got somone who is pro informatik, programer.
» Pat Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 All of them are. To my knowledge, we have 3 programmers. Genesis, Zeitgeist & Sensation. I don't know about Relinquish but most porbably he's also coding things for the server.
