lottery
« on: January 22, 2006, 12:44:36 am »
I\'m tentatively planning a one time lottery.  I just need to figure out the best time and way to go about it.  Also if anyone has a good back story, that would help.  Right now I\'m considering something about killing a mage\'s apprentice for the magic goods he was carrying.  Then a curse and so forth so must give away the loot.

Anyway it would be a grand prize of 50000 trias and a runner up prize of two 40 damage short swords.

I figure everyone would gather at a predetermined spot.  Everyone whose name starts with A does a /roll 1 10000.  If you are B and you see most As have rolled, you roll, and so forth.  Highest two get the prizes.

Time ? 7ish est (-5 gmt)
Date Tomorrow?  Too soon?
Place Fountain? Temple grounds?

This a bad idea, decent, don\'t care?

Interesting idea, really...

But I think, if you put roll dice 1 to 10000, you\'ll have a whole load of outcomes and not enough people, so it would be weird if someone really rolls the number that\'s needed. You know?

But the idea itself is interesting...About the date, I think you\'ll first need to work the idea out more, and then give everybody enough time to read the thread you\'ve made, so that you have enough people playing ;)

Anyway, these are just minor suggestions, I\'m not that good in working out new plans/ideas myself :D

In regards to how it would technically work, the person with the highest roll would win.  There wouldn\'t be a magic number that someone would have to hit.
