Click on the Raffle section, and look at the won points from when the Raffle first started to recently. See the problem? It's losing its appeal dry.gif !

I suggest the starting Minerals in the pot should be increased.

I agree that the raffle should have larger prizes. What about prizes that are not just minerals? Maybe it could be something like name effects too...

Yes the raffle has lost its incentive, probably because its losing its value, I think that the ticket costs should be less and that it should start out better.

Question:Why would isolated enter the raffle, he can just manually give himself more minerals rather than use that...or was it just to spite us...

Since you ARE Admin now, are you willing to make the Raffle more profitable than 1000 Minerals?

I'm always open to suggestions...

The problem isn't profit though, even at 1800 minerals, there still is a 350% gain if the person spent 500 minerals to max out the tickets. The problem is that people that keep loosing probably aren't going to keep participating.

I was thinking of somehow adding a mod to gamble with yor own money... like scratch offs and such as (not like the item where you buy it and it just randomly gives you money)

Minerals aren't are focus here though, it's on the bottom of the pile.

yea, id like a 350% gain, that would be great, but the costs i believe that if the costs were like 20, and the jackpot started at like 500, that would encourage more and more people to enter
