Football_27 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Yea id like to paly also and i never go on market channel either. Maybe you could get a mod to announce it. Football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evalin Report post Posted July 22, 2005 well, kals, you wouldn't have a problem hearing about it, I announce in guild channel... as for everyone else, mods said they won't announce anything that requires money to participate. Since it costs 1k per ticket, I'm on my own to advertise. random idea though... I'm going to make it a weekly thing, and keep it updated here. If you want to buy a ticket, it's 1k gc. pm me in game and I'll write you down. Drawings will be every friday (no set time, but I'll post the results when I log in friday) we can do this 2 ways, either everyone picks a number (1 to 50) and if someone, or multiple people get the number, they split all the money. If no one hits it, that jackpot moves on to next week's, but the closest person gets a certain % of it. choice 2 is just do it the way I did, and have everyone get a number, then draw the random numbers for winners each week. As of right now, I'll do it the 2nd method, but post if you'd like to see it the 1st way. Either way, lotto tickets are on sale as of now at 1k gc each, buy as many as you want ^_^ 1st - 50% 2nd - 30% 3rd - 20% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ujio Report post Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) i would like to see the first option put into practice. it seems like a very good idea, and this way everyone could buy a ticket at some point and not have to worry about missing it. i spend about 99% of my time on the Newbie channel, cos i like the people and it gives a chance to pass on my knowledge, meet some nice people (and every now and again it needs keeping under control when the mods arent on which is where i try and help). only broadcasting on the market channel would stop me from even knowing that you were putting on such an event, so buying tickets in advance is better.

Asmodai Report post Posted July 23, 2005 Winning is fun! I think your other idea is worth trying out Evalin, the supa lotto rollover. Im willing to spread the word manually during the last lotto hour or so. Basicly going to storages, telling people, maybe screaming, not quite sure yet. If we can drum up a large number of happy gamblers then if you know what i mean. finally ive got my cheap as chips hotmail registered here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evalin Report post Posted July 28, 2005 drawing will be tomorro night, I'm expecting the pot to grow to near what it was last week when i start advertising on channels, but who's to say I'll be on when you are, buy those tickets while you can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
