Title: VC:MP Lottery
Post by: JayL on November 30, 2008, 03:08:43 am

Argonath RPG VC:MP Lottery System

How can I participate it?
You need to go to the North Point Mall in Northern Vice Point. As soon as you arrive, walk inside it and approach the information booth's. Make sure you have 100$ in your pocket. Once you have 100$, type !buyticket <1-25>, and then you acquire your ticket.
Keep in mind that once you buy a ticket with a valid number (1 to 25), you can not buy another ticket until the current lottery draw starts.

How can I check my ticket's number?
If you already bought a ticket, type !checkticket to see the number of your ticket.

How can I check the jackpot?
You can type !jackpot anytime, anywhere, to see the current amount of the jackpot.
Keep in mind that, if, at the lottery draw, if no one wins, the jackpot keeps the same and rising, untill someone wins in one of the lottery draws.

When does a lottery draw happen?
Every day, automatically, at 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. (sever time, which can be checked by !time command).
Be aware that the lottery can be turned not-working by administration.

How does the jackpot rise?
Every ticket that is bought adds 100$ to the jackpot.



Hope it makes you understand better the lottery sytem,

The topic is sticky, so bumping it won't work as it will remain in the first page, at the top.

I think the lottery should be rising more so more people will buy a ticket. :) And then maybe higher ticket prices couse you earn 500$ each kill with cop job.

I don't think the lottery really works atm
The average jackpot is like $1,500 :conf:
This puts people off as they think whats the point for $1,500
I think it should be made to like 50k, ofc this means less lotterys
but each one will be taken more seriously

That would be great, but I think to make lotteries more frequent, we should have the lottery system to start off with a big amount (only when there is a certain amount of people participating) and the jackpot should be the starting money + the money from the lottery tickets. This should make the lotteries much more popular.

You might of not heard but things will be changing in the new script, like how easy it is to gain money through cop work

I don't think a weapon dealer deals in drugs? No worries, anyway..
Yes, it is true about the new scripts. Another thing to take on board is that to earn money we need people to cooperate. A lot of the time, this can be hard.

davron does have a point here.
For example, the hooker, how many people will just give out money for a bit of RPing, purely based on RP. No commands etc. Unfortunate, but true. And if we remove too many of the skins, then our range goes and also spoils the fun. We need to find a balance.

Plus, about making money quickly....
If you are a pure RPer, when you are playing as a cop for example, you won't straight away shoot them for the money. It spoils the point of a RPG. You usually tend to give them warnings, try to arrest them, make them surrender etc.

That's the sad truth. If admins encourage them to try and cooperate naturally we may get slightly closer to our goal.

You actually can... If I notice the reason for suspect is un needed, for example, when the reason for suspect is rulebreak, I uncrime... Generally cops hungry for money will suspect deathmatchers and other rulebreakers in order to kill them and get money...

Fair point.
When admins are online, this seems to be a bit more under control.

Uhm umm. Back to topic. Current lottery jackpot is 4500 from last check. Make it rise guys.

Title: Re: VC:MP Lottery
Post by: ~Legend~ on April 17, 2009, 12:57:46 pm

Yes, wish I could buy more tickets!!
Due to the small jackpot at the moment, is it possible to allow people to buy 1 or 2 more tickets? Of course, there should be a restriction but maybe 3 tickets each time?
