The Plan - Weekly draw rules and discussion

Deleted User - 1278415

I really like it! I'm in

This is great the way it is, but if you'd like to do some changes in the future I'd also like to see more winners as was suggested here before. Three-way split would be really great.

Also, even though this is all extra, after reading some posts in general on the forum I can see some people complaining about extra items they'll get - 'why did I get this item when a week ago player x got that?!' - or something in that tune.
Instead of choosing an item by CM (some conspiracy theory lovers could accuse them of bias) the winner could be awarded a premium chest for example with runners up getting less expensive rewards. So it could go like this:

Winner - 85% of the pot plus a premium chest plus a secret item,
Runner up - 10% of the pot plus Unique chest,
Runner up - 5% of the pot plus steel lined box,
or something similar to this.


Whatever it ends up to be like this is a great addition to the game, thanks.

Yea I'm not a fan of the chest ideas. I just hate getting a recipe in that or a horse brush.

I think the mods have the right idea in putting the item out there to tease you in to gambling for it... with the added kicker of a special item.

IMPOSSIBLE! Everyone knows the CM's are some of the most fair, understanding, intelligent, handsome, good natured, athletic, sexy, humorous and of course Unbiased people I have ever had the good fortune to encounter.;);)

Not long until we see what items are won from 1st draw :) and how much the pot has gotten up too...

I like alectheba's 'staggered prizes' idea.
Also:I would hugely appreciate a user-friendly way to enter (rather than send through a ticket with various bits of info I have to put on it, some of which i might make a mistake with). How about buying your 'lottery ticket' at the shop? (but with in-game cash instead of nugs/bonds).
and more advertising! First I found out about this was today. (Can I assume we're still in week 1 here? maybe the advertising I did see was old...)

Like i sayed in the mind thing:

Get a new Employer on the map called Lottery Bar (since there are game rules about calling it Casino not be allowed for young people).
Players need to go there 1 time in the week, buy a ticket. At the end of the week, the prize will be up for grabs, people will get it on the next week.
(it would need more that just twista time for doing it).

The prizes could be:
1- Premium chest + 10% of the pot
2- Unique chest + 10% of the pot
3- Fancy chest + 10% of the pot
4- Iron clad chest + 10% of the pot
5- 10% of the pot

The remaining 50% where for the "prize comission". ( half of it would add up into a special pot for some special draw that would give away something more. For example: when it got to 1 million, next draw would have the pink tutu or the sniper rifle to the first prize and the money would be back to 0) Some weeks you could add a special named or secret item onto the draw. Removing the 5 prize and the others would go down. That item wouldn´t get money to the winner.

It would be available on all worlds. But this one is fun. (hope i get the first prize :D)

all these ideas with tickets from the upb shop or new quest giver on the map are nice, but I don't think that will happen because we need devs to get involved. and from what I see here, this is pure CM effort. a very welcome but long overdue effort :)
good stuff, Da Twista, keep em coming :)
and I agree - give us more prizes and more winners, 3-5 would be nice.

No steel? Anyone who's ever opened a unique would rather have a steel.

:D since those are the ones that are most sold everywhere :D it would make no sense to get it into the prize group :D

Since the 5 would only show up when it was a normal week draw, the others would be the real prize... the problem is that it would need the dev team to create the new building (wasn´t a new building already created to sell the newspaper and the recipes that was talked on the 1.35?) and create a script to make the tickets only available 1 per player. So it would be way over Twista head and work.

Irrelevant, but I forgot that other box drops have been tweaked a bit, so maybe unique chests don't suck any more.

What do you think will bring in more participation though? A chance to win 10% and a fancy chest, or a chance to win ALL the money plus a named item and a special item. The more I think about it I like the original idea best.

I do like the idea of rewarding more people, perhaps the top 3 but will not participate to win a chest. Its one thing to beat the odds to scoop the prize but to then have to beat the odds again to get something worthwhile from the chest? No thanks

The Weekly #1 campaign has expired. I'm just sorting out the last of the entries, a winner will be picked shortly and I'll post here.
