out of idle curiosity, would big reveal how many names are currently on the lottery list here? tbh i dont think theres enough people playing these games to ever sell out this thing. if everyone who plays has allready baught their tickets, then we sit here with thumbs up our asses until the end of eternity.
if you did the first draw for the first titan with the first 10k and then voided tickets for the other draws (1 ticket for all 3 was allways a bad idea imho. if your not investing in 100, then why buy 3 when 1 is enough?) i would certainly buy another set for the second 10k draw.
if theres too many folks complaining about "omfg my 1 ticket was guaranteed to win all 3 draws" then refund the lot, start a fresh with "10k for 1, 10k for 2, 10k for 3 seperate draws" rules in place. you will sell a new batch of 10k long before you will sell a current batch of..... 19k to go? then start on the next 10k with the same customers re-buying rather than hoping new ones will materialise out of the ether.
just my 0.2isk, not even enough for a can of quafe... damn credit crunch n all that

Quote: Irae brevis furor est. Anger is a brief madness.
This is so because anger is an intense, hot flame that consumes its fuel quickly, leaving only cold ash behind.
But for some, anger is a breeder reactor - the more it burns, the more it feeds itself, until the heat builds and critical mass is reached...
ProTip: The lack of confidence is fueling a lack of confidence. People with tickets already proposing the dismantling of the lotto isn't going to help them recoup (or at least bring an end to) their investment.
If you want it to end faster it will need a viral grassroots push from those who already have tickets to get it done in an acceptable amount of time. That being said everything is up in the air with Dominion and who knows maybe the value of Titans will go up and drive this lotto further?
Either way I just bought a couple tickets for ****s and giggles. Dunno if I will be around in 9 months but the possibility of having a Titan in lowly me's assets list was so amusing I just had to buy some tickets.

he said he would come up with a solution soo far the solotion is just to hold for time is it that you have already spent all the money and cant afford to refund to us but as many people have said restart the lotto for 1 titan at a time because this will not end
and people have been asking about refunds yet your dodgeing the subject

Originally by: Daemonspirit Big will give the titans away. Doesn't happen in a time frame suitable for you? Don't give away your iskies...
The "iskies" have already been spent by most of the people commenting. So, by your logic, if it takes 5 years, are you cool with that? If you answered yes, you're exactly as dumb as you sound. Or, more likely, you and the posters immediately below you are alts trying to prop things up for BIG. No one signed up for an open-ended, neverending lottery with no drawing. How long will this go on before BIG calls a halt to it? We're coming up on 2 months. So, smart@ss, 3 months? 4? 12? Will you still be riding BIG's tip in 12 months? Will you call it what it is then? |

Just a quick heads up.
The SolutionÖ is being worked on. Just taking a bit longer than hoped for.
I will warn you before hand though that it's probably more "a solutionÖ" than "The SolutionÖ", so don't go over-hyping.
And some part of it might not yet pan out quite as I hope for, and some already hasn't.
But it will at least be SomethingÖ, that much I can promise

It will be impossible to make every one happy no matter what solution you come up with.
So as long as you come with "a solution" within a reasonable timeframe and keep your customers updated, then I'm sure the majority will be happy enough with "a solution".

So, smart*ss, I ask you the exact same question: How long is too long? Do YOU not understand what the words "instant gratification" mean? Because 2 months is not instant gratification. Go log back in to your main and get back to work for BIG and their friends. |

This is my main, where is yours, hotshot? By the way you are acting, you were probably eating glue and shoving crayons in your nose when BIG started their lotto. Do you think they'd let the entire lotto flop, over a small amount and ruin their reputation and heaven knows how much revenue in future business?

Prove that it is your main. It is irrelevant whether I post with my main or not. Your logic is flawed. If BIG gave a damn about it/their reputation, they/he would never have allowed this situation to develop. Your logic is also predicated on the assumption that they CARE about their reputation and that they want to continue doing this in the future rather than pocketing 100's of billions of isk.
Now explain how 2 months of waiting isn't being patient. Whether or not I had crayons up my nose is irrelevant. The only relevant things here are when the money will be refunded or the lottery drawing takes place. Again, go crawling back to BIG and get back to work (you are surely an able prostitute). |

All right, that is enough.
/me sighs...
This is my main, I can't prove it, and I don't care. I'm probably two to three times the age of my stalker... I'll live - TornSoul has said he's working on a solution, I'm good with waiting for it to develope.
Now... TL;DR for Mr. "Definite Alt".
Yeah, I'm good with it lasting two years, and, tbqh - I actually hope TornSoul DOES do the "bug-out boogie" with the Isk. I would feel bad for my lost $$$$$, and for all the others who lose isk, but, I would survive.
Because I would always have, like a warm ember, the image of some immature person, teenager, 20-something, 30, 40 - doesn't matter - emo-raging over internet spaceships pixel money. So yeah, I'm good with two years.
And that would be worth the price of admission.

I wonder if this guy has even read the thread.
They arn't the ones with the titans, thay are simply holding the lottery for someone else. If they change the rules without the titans owners permission they are breaching contract and that will destroy ALL of their creditability.

It does not matter whos or what or which is the owner of the titans, people will only remember Ohh that BIG lottery as in BIG. It's like if you go to Mac'Ds and the coffee is worst then ever, you don't know or even bother to know that it's Fairtrade labelled coffee beans that is bad, it's Mac'D coffee that you remember. And if you look at the lottery it is sold and run by BIG as the BIG epic triple titan draw as was advertised.

That doesn't change the fact that they're under contract and have to do what they're doing until they get permission to do something else, otherwise no one will ever do business with them again. Just like Mc.ds can't searve another brand of coffee untill their contract with their current supplier expiers. :P Clear Skies 1 - Awesome Clear Skies 2 - Amazing Clear Skies 3 - It's gonna be epic biatches |

Go back and read the first page. Lottery runs until 30K tickets are sold.

The BIG "Triple Titan" Lottery ends when 30,000 tickets have been sold.

Big has said that a solution is being worked on. Maybe the people BIG LOTTERY has the contract with are being arses. Big Lottery is stuck in the middle, but afaik - 30K is the "end date".

Maybe I'll buy another 10 here in a bit.
Well I had the thought that BIG should just buy out the 183 bil in tickets that are left. Which gives them >60% odds on winning each Titan. Then they can turn around and have another auction that is more likely to happen properly. 1 Titan at a time. I suppose if BIG did this, I'd be annoyed but it would be the same as if all the tickets sold anyways.
