Still no answer. The lack of sister makes Misanth go something something.. - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

Yeah but shes not as hot as me and her boobs aren't as big. We used to sit around and compare them when we were younger before we had the pillow fights. We also arent sharing boyfriends any more as she has horrible taste in men and always picks the loosers.
What you wanted to hear right?

Maybe we can ask ccp for something similar to how WoW does random rolls. It would show in local, or in a dedicated channel "Mercie Orion rolled a random number between 1-10000, the dice landed on number 1234" with a command prompt like /random 10000
Then the person holding the lotto can announce when the dice roll is going to happen, and in what system or in what channel. So when the dice is rolled IN GAME, it tells you what the range of numbers were, and there can always be enough people present to verify that the dice was only rolled one time giving a random number for the ticket and enough people are present during the dice roll to verify what number it landed on.
That would be almost scam proof other then just taking the money and not giving a reward at all, which could still happen, but would put an end to people awarding the prize to friends or alts and CLAIMING it was random. I'm not sure how much work it would take to add that to the game but it'd be worth a look considering how many people are trying to run lotto's these days.

A decent pseudorandom number generator seeded with some noisy untamperable source like the opening of some stock exchange index, noon temperature in some place, solar flux index, number of daily visitors to a web page that publishes those numbers, etc.

I like this OP. All the "secure" lotteries are made on "trust" many argue Chribba is 100% trustable but how does anyone actually verify this? Chribba could easily pick a number and preset it to someone he likes or set it to one of his alts. In a game where big names run away with trillions of isk, what's to stop Chribba from waking up one day and saying "SCREW YOU VELDSPAR HERE I RAGE QUIT AND ROB EVERYONE IN A MEGA triple titan draw". Not saying he would but he could if he wanted to or maybe he already did... how would you know for sure? do you live in his head?
FYI only using Chribba as an example :) nothing against him.

Why would Chribba need to scam.
Better ask: Why would any one need to scam?
Its all about experience not about isk [well, not only about isk]

lotteries are a form of gambling. the people who operate them are most likely devoid of any morals. |

Originally by: Lana Torrin Catchy subject no? Ok this isn't going to be some mega post about outing probably the only 100% trustworthy person in eve and im sorry to anyone that wanted me to post something like that. This is a thread about lotteries.
Back in the day eve lotteries were a bit different to how they are now. You would have say 35, 40 or 45 tickets for sale, people would choose their number(s) and post them in the thread. The winner was determined by something outside of thew game but verifiable to as many people as needed (say the first ball drawn in a state lottery on a pre-set date). These were mostly fare to the customers (in that they were hard to subtly cheat with, the scam was to just do a runner with the isk at the end and not give out a prize, something you could only do once per alt). All was well.
Then Chribba came along and changed things up a bit. Using his trustworthy status in eve he started the first 100+ ticket game (I think it was actually over 9000 tickets). The game went well and someone walked away with a titan (ie, he stayed trustworthy), but the damage was done. Overnight almost all of the lotteries changed in to 100+ ticket games, many of them with no way of knowing who had bought what number or even how the results were chosen. The scam potential for this type of lottery is huge.
So why did Chribba decide to make it so the scammers had a much easier time? Does he in fact have a scamming alt? Was he paid off? Did he in fact not know what he was about to unleash on to the eve universe?? And when we people realize that they are ALL being scammed? And yes, I mad that my lottery scam didn't go so well so im trying to take you all down...
Any questions?
Nobody is 100% trustworthy.
