[Suggestion] Lottery

[Ryan]

>> Should it just choose between the people who contributed, or generate a number and give the pool to the player that holds the right numbers

>> I feel as there should be a starting amount like a preset reward before the contributions, but how much would you think would be a fair amount

Firstly, thanks for putting my suggestion under your consideration Ahnee :)

To answer your first question, I agree with Loretta. It should only be between players who contribute or else it wouldn't be fair to lottery investors. To avoid any mishaps, I think every player who contributes should be given a unique item (ticket) as proof of their contribution (to be exchanged for their prize) and likewise, a number can also be recorded and stored each time a contribution is made. I haven't really thought about this from a technical perspective, but hopefully it rings a bell.

To answer your second question, I too think a preset reward should be there for anyone to gain from lottery. At the moment, I think a decent amount is:

First = 300 EPs or Dots + 50% of contribution

Second = 200 + 30%

Third = 150 + 20%

I've devised these figures based on the difficulty of obtaining IOCs, Dots and such. Presumably, if lottery is done on a weekly basis and contributions are also made, the presets shouldn't be too substantial. The reason why I've specified equivalent amounts for EPs and Dots is because the in-game conversion has already been defined as 1 EP = 1 Dot.

Hope this helps!
