    Suggestion:Have a periodiacal lottery (once every week, or two weeks) where for an hour to two, lottery is changed, and you use netherstars instead of money

    Reason:this would allow for a faster flow of netherstars between users, aswell as add another use for them. This would also encourage voting :p

    Any Other Information:n/a

    I do not believe that user held lotteries are allowed to be held, and are in fact against the rules.

    this isnt a user-run lottery, its configurable in the lottery plugin, to make it so that netherstars buy tickets

    Well then, I suppose I mistook the information of what you were suggesting.

    Yes, I love the idea! I don't like using my money for lotto, because 1000 is a bit to lose, whereas 10 netherstars isn't that much in my mind.

    I can see a flaw though...lotto deducts tax on the tickets put in, so minimum buy-in would have to be like 10 netherstars or though, you can't deduct something from 1 netherstar.
    Or better yet, minimum be 6 nstars (deduct 1 star?) so newcomers can have a chance to buy?

    Other then that, I'm all for it, another reason to vote faster :D

    Actually, you can have it so it's a 1 neerstar buyin per ticket, and the winner receives 9/10 or 8.5/10 of what's in the pot

    I like the idea, but the thing is, how would there be a lotto tax? Isn't the lottery's purpose to take money out of the economy? If you're doing 1 nether star a ticket there can't be 1.8 nether stars in the pot, or you can't win 55.9 nether stars.

    As I said before, it's possible to make it so that the winner only receive's 9/10 or 8.5/10 of the total pot

    Well the point is to have a tax, but since we aren't getting any reply from any higher mods/devs/ect this probably might pass without notice. I'm still all for it though! :D

    +1 For sure! I love the idea, encourages people to vote, and could make for some big and fun lotteries! Another way of having cash flow through (and out) the economy! :) And as far getting like the 55.9 stars or 16.3 stars, just have it round out? I really hope this could be implemented in our Economy/Server :D
