Coin Games

[HeartBeatOfTheEarth]

People complain that things in the Event Shop are expensive..... and that we, EM's don't give out nearly enough coins..... So I thought it might help a bit if there were some games that ran on event coins.
Possible a slot machine game. You insert 1-5 coins ( so EMs still need to be active to give out coins to be used in games) , and pull the lever, etc.. Get 3 symbols to line up and you win: (Amount of Coins Inserted) x ( Value of 3 Symbols which line up). So if you inserted 2 coins, and you lined up 3 shell bomies ( a value of 2) .. You would win 4 coins. Then there's always the chance you would win nothing.

Just thought some games with a coin requirement might clear up the complaints. Feel free to agree or yell at how horrible an idea this is.... your entitled to your opinion.

I suggested this a while ago to the stafff but they didn't like it so much. =/
Actually, I suggested some type of arcade-place or amusement park where we can win coins. They didn't like it because they were afraid everyone would just get a billion coins in one day and buy out the shop.

The only reason why I'm opposed to slot machines is how incredibly difficult it'd be to win. Like, you see, someone with few coins would have a VERY hard time ever earning anything, as he'd probably lose all his coins without profit, whereas a person with lots of coins can accept a long period of loss and still manage to land back on his feet.

and if you get 3 wolves, 3 wolves will come out and try to kill you, tahtll make it funner. if you get 3 lords, you get 3x as much EC than you inserted

Slot machine is just a basic suggestion. we could have other types of gmaes also.

Also, it might help to impose a lmit on the number of plays you can get a day. Like the slots only allows 10 plays a day or something

My original idea was something like a points system instead of coins. Like, we could have 5 or so minigames and maybe slot machines. We could jack up the price of the items to like, tens of thousands of points and have it so that if you do really well on the minigames you might get like, a few hundred points or something. And EMs, when holding events, would give out like a thousand to 5000 points to the winner, depending on the difficulty of the event.

Of course, you could minimize the amounts of points needed and gained, but I've found that people love having things in big quantities.

Jesus, why doesn't a NPC, by 5 hours, run a script that randomly spawns 200 or so Grim Reapers across Event Island (which if cant all be located, they unstick when 5 or more players say <insert word>) and one of them holds a event coin. >D No EXP from them though. Just random drops.

Because not everyone can kill/survive grim reapers, dork

Not everyone can win a spar tournament so what are you talking about? Like anyone gives a damn.
