    Surely a player should not be allowed to use alts in /lotto, this is unfair to players who don't have enough in real life money to buy themselves a second, third or even fourth account, surely the chances should be equal for all players as I've seen all these high ranking donors who've splashed out on ranks for 3 individual accounts buy more lotto tickets, I honestly am dumbfounded at how certain players can just use as many accounts as they want in the lotto and for the staff and such to be ok with it, it's an unfair system, please make it so only 1 account on an IP can buy 2 tickets, I understand people may have "brothers and sisters" who play on the server too, but when that ship sales we should deal with it.

    Unfair, Illicit and Unjust.

    Well I do kinda agree with u. Even tho I buy tickets with 2 accounts, there are some other people who even buy with 3, 4 and even 7 accounts (totally not arma) but I would prefer 2 - 3 accounts to buy tickets Maximum cause there are some people who share the same IP because they are siblings/friends/roommates. And this seems more like a suggestion than a discussion thread if u want a mod to move it.

    What I'm leaning more too is that every player can only vote on 1 account and get 2 tickets as a majority of players don't have money to just spend on more than 1 account, there is of course the issue of people on the same IP as roommates/friends/siblings but we should try and find a way around that.

    Voting on one account for everyone is a more fair system, therefore everyone would have 1 or 2 tickets and no individual player would have that unfair advantage on the poorer players.

    For example, you vote on 2, sometimes 3 accounts, this shouldn't be ok considering most of the community can only vote on one, it's very clearly unfair.

    And yes it would be nice if a mod could possibly move this to suggestions.

    Are you talking about voting now? (Ye some people use VPN to vote on more than 1 account : ( )

    Anyways my opinion is still the same, 2-3 accounts maximum per IP that can buy lottery tickets so I remain neutral.

    Honestly I don't think it really matters if alts can play lottery.
    To be perfectly fair it is a gamble. You go in knowing you don't have a guaranteed win. It isn't like having 4 accounts guarantees a win either. You just get a slightly better chance. You are still paying for tickets either way.

    If you make the decision to gamble your grass then that is on you. We don't need to outlaw more things.

    Yes its luck if u win. But imagine theres 10 grass in pott from only one person with 5 accs and u buy 2 tickets. Thats not really fair for u as u think that there are 5 others hoping for an win.

    Support, it's unjust. Think of the lotto as more of a raffle. If everyone puts in 2 slips, and one person enters 36, obviously its r i g g e d. 5 people put in 2 slips. 2 people put in 36. Then the 2 people's chance is 36/72 while 1 of the 5 people's chance is 1/72.

    Yes, I've logged on with 12 alts before and screwed up the lotto.

    Neutral, I'd like to see a limit of 3 accounts maximum if this was implemented. People have siblings who play, and if it was 3 per ip, everyone would be able to have a ticket.

    Lotto is rigged anyways some people win 7-8 times per day on one account and some people use 3 accounts and only win two or 3 times a day.
    Fix lotto then change to 3 accounts per ip.

    No Support, because all the reasons Krissy stated above. I also think there are just more important things for the developers to be working on and this project doesn’t seem to be worth the time necessary to implement it, as I don’t think it’s as quick of a change as changing the price of somthing in /warp grass would be.

    Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think some people might have more than 2 siblings :popcorn:

    The simple answer is, if you think lottery is rigged, or unfair just don't play it. You know the chance of you winning isn't that high anyway, so you might as well save your grass if you don't have the grass to spare on the game.

    According to Myrm the lottery code is absolutely random so people winning multiple times are just lucky.
    I still don't think people realise that you still have to pay grass so those people who enter with multiple accounts are still spending grass, and if they lose, which is possible since lottery is random, they lose more grass than if you only have one account.

    In short:
    People that put alts in the lottery are still gambling grass. They have more to lose
    Having multiple accounts in the lottery doesn't always mean you win because it is random
    It is your own problem if you gamble grass rather than save up- getting grass instantly seems nice but you should save it

    I mean if you think about it, people that are of a higher socio-economic status can purchase more lottery tickets, increasing their chances of winning. Where as someone of a lower income can afford very few if any lottery tickets. So the rich have a greater chance of becoming richer. But on the flip side purchasing more lottery tickets comes at the risk of not winning and losing more than everyone else who only bought one or two.

    Honestly just leave it lmao, for the few people with multiple accounts, we're risking more than you think. Obviously the chances of us winning are higher, but at the same time we paid for the accounts and we're paying more for the lot tickets. Plus I barely win anyways

    Neutral.
    There are many people who play Skyblock, such as 52Phenomenon and TheEpicWotsit, who have siblings with the same IP. However, I'd support for 2-3 accounts per IP.

    Just wondering, wouldn’t using multiple different VPNs, setting up more routers with different IPs, and using mobile hotspots be a possible, albeit inconvenient, way to bypass this?
