    Minecraft Name:
    Berserk_on_xbl
    Suggestion:
    Have a building at spawn dedicated to the lottery that has clickable signs to purchase tickets in increments of 1,5,10,20 and so on. Have a board that displays "Current Jackpot size" with lottery timer, and another listing the top 3 ticket holders for the current lottery with ticket amounts.
    Reason:
    This will drastically help needing to use lottery messages in chat, although still toggleable, will leave much less reason for it to be spamming chat. Much less need for /lot, decreasing chat clutter.
    Other Information:
    I dont know how or if this could be implemented, I just think it would be best to have a place to visually see all lottery information without needing to keep doing /lot.

    I think most players would rather do /lot commands and clutter their chat for a bit than take the time to stop what they are doing and finding a building at spawn. I don 't think this is a bad idea, it just wouldn't be very popular.

    the issue is that spamming the chat can lag the server, might not be very significant but it can happen. and it can also clear up the chat logs pretty nicely too, which is beneficial for the mods that use them.

    Are you suggesting that with this implemented you cannot buy tickets outside of the building? if so I will have to say -1, this takes away lotto while farming, mining, sg'ing, etc.

    If this is just a simple addition it seems a bit complicated to display the info on signs, but I am not a dev so I don't know, maybe if it's an easy thing then it would be fine.

    Yes you will be able to still do all lot commands that you can do today. its just advantageous to users who do lotto alot to watch precise stats all in one place.

    If you can still use lotto commands outside of that building, then what would be the point of having that building?
    Also, /lot commands are the least of the messages in the logs.

    I just think that this "lottery building" would be chaos, because 1) We all know people love to snipe. If we put up signs at spawn, they will be able to see the timer while they're sniping. If anything, this suggestion helps the snipers, and 2) Due to 1), the building will always be full of people trying to snipe and win the lottery.

    People would just block each other to see the signs and obscure visibility/ability to click the signs. Not to mention most people do lotto while doing other things; having to go to a building would be a hassle.

    Then what's the point of having the SG boards?

    But I do like the suggestion, berserk. +1

    Because SG is not a global thing and there are more sg arenas. There is only 1 lottery.

    If there were multiple lotteries then something like this could work, but seeing as there's only 1, this is just a useless suggestion.

    Then again you can also do /lot buy amount.
