The problem is that these are pretty much always scams, and there's no reason to believe that's any different now. Even with people getting paid out, that's expected. Inevitably shills will end up in the system to pull out more isk, even if that wasn't the original intent. Greed is a powerful motivator. You don't even seem to use a third party roller on this one, so there's not even a little hint that it won't be rigged to pay out whoever you want.



I am not interested in scamming people it's not something i feel comfortable doing even in a game. but i can see your point. do you think it would help if i published the source code? or is there a 3rd party roller that can be called via an api? I will probably keep trying to get players for a month or 2 longer and if i cannot get people to trust me then i will give up like i said i made the site as a project to learn a framework and it would be cool if people used it but no necessary.

Also i am tired of hearing people telling me people are scared of a scam instead i ask for ways to be transparent so people will have less fears. I want solutions not getting the well known problem reiterated.


If i decide to throw in the towel any out standing isk will be refunded

Ah the old, "computer glitch" nice. P



he has been already credited with a ticket. Even tho the FAQ states that if you do it wrong your out money. it also states to use lowercase big. but it will cause less of a headache if i make the script lowercase everything


Maybe just code things properly?

current state of the games

Big Money, High Roller
Current Total: 21,250,000 ISK
Winner Picked @: 100,000,000 ISK
Ticket Cost 5,000,000 ISK


Small Lottery for Poor Pilots

Why is the current total's ISK a number that's not divisible by 5M?

So you are going to make lots of money being honest.. and then trick people to make more.

That is literally what your statement says.



if you say so. i was saying that the house takes 15% and will not ever trick people. I can't put peoples minds at ease either you try it and like it or you think it's a scam. i can't change peoples minds all i can do is advertise and try and build a group of people that trust me.


I shouldn't...but...

Then and than are spelled differently for a reason.

Sorry but this thread is TL;DR for me Oops

All I have to say is that any dumbass who falls for using the eve lotteries, trade hub locals, "too good to be true" contracts, etc, deserve to part ways with their money, which then funnels into my pockets. Cool

Except this is not a scam its the attempt to run a legitimate eve venture and to run legitimate lotteries. your welcome to you opinions but I don't intend to scam anyone it's not something i fine fun. Even pretending to be an ******* is not acceptable to me.

Not a personal diss. Not trying to ignite the ye' ole Flame Wars.

My paranoia in this game runs high, which is for the most part a good thing, but makes it hard for me to trust people.

I'm always going to avoid sites that can link my IP address to my character name, if at all possible. Because DDoS.

What's the correct forum for advertising EVE-related third party websites?

that's fine but my site cannot make this link. you in now way interact with the site yet. the login part is strictly for me as admin. all funds are sent in game and all visitors to the site are simply someone coming to the site with no context to make any connections to ip address or characters who have played.


and I only bump this once a day if that. I am trying to avoid spamming anywhere for advertising. I would hope that people who have tried it spread the word and play again.
