Should we start doing a lottery? Either just for the Morkin group or for the whole server.
Prizes?
1 Cat to enter, winner gets all cats. 50 Stoners to etner, winner gets all stoners. 1k gold to enter, winner gets all gold.
Weekly, monthly, daily etc.
Organiser takes a cut?
Discuss!

This has been done with stonies on the official forum, but I think the level of participation dropped after 2nd or 3rd round. It could be fun to start it again though

Sounds good although 30 entrants and you've nearly maxed your gold out so best sticking with something that can increase infinatly (sp?)

I think you would enter your bid (cats/stonies/gold/etc) and then pick a number. Then, whoever was in charge of it would have to create some basic program to pick a random number 1-XXX and whoever had their number picked would be the winner. Of course, there is always the chance that the person "drawing" out the number may lie, so of course Morkin should be in charge of it so we can be assured it is an honest lottery!

why not just keep it within the Morkin family? I think server-wide would be nothing but headaches in the long-run

I think I know where skulkrinbait wants to take this (megolomaniac ), but I like Null's idea best.

You could do a "low bid auction" type thing. Everyone sends cats, any amount from 1 to whatever. Whoever sends the lowest number of cats, that nobody else also sends, gets all the cats. Eg: inyati sends 1 cat Natmus sends 5 cats kae sends 1 cat Sol sends 6 cats Natmus would win and get back 13 cats. (less my cut)

That could actually work very well! Everything could be documented by 2 persons, and the prize is nice!

I'll trial it amongst the Morkin group once the Orc stuff blows over.
We could either have it every week (or month etc) or just open it with no fixed deadline, the result would be decided once there were x people having entries, you could enter as many times as you wanted.

I think this is a cool idea. And to make sure it's random, we could have every contestant submit a number. At the time of the drawing, add up all of the numbers and generate a number that many times with a script/program. This would ensure that the record keeper wouldn't cheat with someone else to get the prize.

Nobody wins and I keep them! Seriously, if there's a draw then I would draw a name out of the hat.
