Originally by: T'Amber I think the blame lies in more places than chribba.
I missed the relevant quote with this comment and this statement was inregards to all the lottos all over the place, and who was to blame for them.
If you look at the majority of lottos they are all obviously derived from Chribba, Grendell and Mine. Although I like stalking Chribba, mine are actually based off Torn Souls / BIG and this is the reason why mine are usually non-profit, the reason for my 10k+ tickets is because of Chribba tho :)
Regarding the tools for lottos made by Chribba, although I'm sure he had them planned anyway - I annoying him until he made the Dice tool, as coupled with a secure 3rd party ticket tracking site it makes lottos pretty hard, if not impossible to scam.
On another note, I can't wait for CCP to make the new sub-forum just for lottos, maybe then we can have our sell forums back.

lotteries are all scam as long as the ticket number pick is not transparent and bound to public events (like real lotto numbers).
"I use this SQL picking a random number blablablablaaaaaaa", I surprised there are that many people believing such crap, NOONE can ever verify.

Yes, you can. The process, however, would be illegal in any country with computer crime laws. - Paknac Queltel

Originally by: Xenuria I am not saying chribba is a habitual scammer or has ever even intentionally scammed or wronged anybody..
I am however saying that he has yet to give me the collateral to the 10 utus. So until he makes good on that I am not going to be useing him or any third party for that matter.
Sigh, no ones buying it Xenuria, go attention ***** somewhere else, Preferably back to WoW.

One of our hardware suppliers this odd urge to put their logo on everything they ship to us. We now have a monitor absolutely covered with the damn sticky logo badges.

And on that day, Chribba will scam the EVE servers from CCP themselves.

This is EVE. Everybody, including Chribba, is out to get you.
Though he's mostly interested in getting veldspar...he WILL use you to get more of it.

Originally by: Chribba While it indeed seems like lottery scammers have gotten an easier time the reason why I did not go with the earlier "let's use the bonus ball on MegaLottery Weekly on CNN" was the simple reason that the winner can be drawn when the lottery is over and thus making the whole process more streamlined.
But you can just delay the draw by a day by saying when all the tickets are bought; "We will use the next available lottery drawing which will be on .... which is in a day's time"
(There must be a public lottery drawing some where in the world almost daily)
Originally by: Chribba
So for me it was a simple way of getting around a whole lot of problems that occur when the ticket numbers exceed 50.
Could you not just publish a function at the start of the lottery which combines the 5 lottery balls into a number in the required range? Like use the first two balls to get a number from 1 to 2500 via = ballone + 50 * (balltwo-1)
Some don't publish ball drawing order, but can work around that by combining all the drawn balls together with a formula (I'm sure the clever EVE community can develop one)
Just wondering if the OP would like this better.

Before I get flamed, this should not be used as the first ball cannot be picked again, so some number can never be hit with this formula.
There is a formula which can convert the drawn balls to a uniformity distributed random number, in the range 1 to the number given by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

Alot of people keep thinking Chribba will scam if the right amount of isk passes infront of him. Thats pure horse ****. The man will only scam when he is in the mind set for it. Thats it. Whatever triggers that i hope i never see. |

generating ticket numbers according to the lottery pattern would be perfectly fine. For example, 2 concatenated numbers from 01 till 49, the number of combinations would be enough to cover about 2500 tickets. That simple. If not, take 3 numbers from 01 till 49 for the coverage of 117k tickets.

Edited by: oil on 07/09/2010 15:44:00 i once participated in a lottery for a freighter. i think that was the only time in my 7 years that i fell for a scam.
i dont believe any lottery is legitimate. except when ticket numbers and corresponding owners are known publicly and the draw related to rl events. if thats not the case nobody can veryfy the drawing and even if the drawing follows the rules, it can be repeated til the right number hits. i wouldnt trust any lottery thats run by not veryfiable methods. be the lottery owner chribba or anybody else. u are probably all getting scammed big time.

Then when he changed the day or particular lottery being used as the standard a lottery manager would be accused of changing the rules of the game mid stream. There is no satisfying some people :-p
Lotteries in EVE is the same as everywhere... The poor can spend some money in the hopes that they'll get something for nothing, and most of the time be disappointed.
If people really care that much, go and protest over in the forum for game change suggestions and have CCP add a function in game to generate a random number.
When I read the sell orders forum choked with lotteries I always assume it is people who want to sell a ship over market value but don't care to put in the work to find a single buyer :-p

I think we're safe so long as nobody ever decides to use veldspar for collateral.

Chribba could start and IPO and simply state that the purpose of the IPO was to scam everyone, and everyone would STILL invest in it, simply for the sake of it. ----------

True. Don't get me or Chribba wrong. I seriously doubt he will be pulling the ultimate scam until its a given that eve is dying and he is looking to convert all that veld into rl isk.

I doubt he would even do it then... There are nice people and nasty people in this game. Most famous people are nasty as it takes a lot of dedication to be nice and famous.. You work the rest out.
