make the limit 10 tickets, so we wont get any gambling adicts in here, people wont lose to much money, and people wont buy tickets for 2 milion so they'll almost surtainly win.

If there are more Yes (in total) than No, more than one ticket/person makes it into one edition for test. Now if limited gets equal or more than infinite (i will rename it to unlimited), it is the "winner". If less, then we get unlimited.

For ONE test edition. Then I will decide what's next.

Dravic, can you please also do the same thing but for one person?

I want to give you 5 grand for a 1/110 chance of getting 500 grand from you. (cost to buy an heirloom)

#random.org
If your name is on either of these 2 lists: http://goo.gl/0SEqf -- http://goo.gl/I3SFf
And you want to be on youtube dueling famous fighters. Add imkharn to steam.

Am I supposed to fund the other 495 grand (whatever that means)?  :lol:

Made my day.



PS OK guys, the cumulation got pretty hot - almost 60.000! I've got to go to sleep, so if you want to ticket and you've read this right now when I post it, get your ticket now, so I can refill the Marketplace with tickets before I fall asleep. :)


EDIT When I actually think about it, Kharn - nice idea. If I had some starting gold, I could make such a lottery. Will think about rules tomorrow.

Yeah, it is actually a pretty good idea. In the long run you would make money on it. I would give it a go myself, but I would not dare to be the one who gives 500k, simply because you can be unlucky. Tho I could do 100k, but with a 1/25 chance.

Edit: Oh and Dravic, could you return 3 of my 4 tickets. Unless of course I actually get 4 tickets. Tho we have to wait for the poll for that. The offer is up. My expensive shirt for that 15k :P

I've got another idea for improvement. Please give me your feedback:

How about making the draw with not only full tickets, but also "blank tickets" -  noone gets anything, the cumulation proceeds to the next edition.
That would look like that:

Numbers:

1. Ticket
2. Blank ticket
3. Ticket
4. Blank ticket
etc.

And would also lead to higher cumulations if noone gets lucky. What do you think?

Yeah, it is a nice idea, but I think it is better to keep things simple to get more peeps to join :)

I like the idea of this lottery :D but, 5k is pretty big for us lowly peasants... Not that I CAN'T pay it, I just wouldn't like it so much if rich people could buy more tickets, and thus having bigger chance. I mean... we peasants need the money more  :oops:
