    there might not be enought items to justify their own dp

    Edit 3: maybe have the rares redistrubuted before the person is unbanned

    I kinda disagree and agree. I agree that they should make it public knowledge about the heads which have been confiscated, as I don't see any harm in doing so.
    I disagree that they should reintroduce these heads as obviously higher quantity = lower price, a flood of heads being introduced at once will ruin the economy (especially if a lot of heads are introduced at once).
    Maybe it's best to release the heads that have been taken, and then decide what happens.

    I'd like to see what heads there are before deciding if they should be released ever, but yes that was my point about if they introduce them at once it'll destroy the prices.

    To imagine all of the confiscated heads brought back into the economy on BOTH servers is a dream to me.
    so many people want to collect some of these rare items but the IRL traders dont understand that passion, and then they go and get them confiscated making it harder for new collectors to COLLECT.

    using the discord bot to randomly select winners sounds like a good idea as it is a bot that randomly selects winners, but it would be difficult to give out the prizes as some of the discord members vote and forget.

    then there would be the system of asking a member of staff to collect entries via the server the item is present in (pick a random confiscated head on sb or economy, like a hatchling or something) ask for votes on who would like to attempt to win it, then spin a wheel using Wheel of Names . then the staff member can fairly distribute it on the server the head belongs in. (this is just a practical idea with staff control so the item enters the field again safely)

    Of course I would love to see this suggestion implemented, as I want to see more people happy with heads they want to own. support from your local economy clown :clown:

    (there will be counter arguments to this as people don't want rare and expensive heads brought back when they own them as they lose money, but I'm talking at a community collection standpoint than my own personal profit, so Id rather collectors be happy than me.)

    i dont think it would destroy prices it would lower them temporarily i feel like the draw back of this plan is for people like u and i with established colections which would go down slightly. But as its better for the server as a whole im recomending it

    Aren’t they kept and given as refunds to people that unfairly lost items, but deserve those items nonetheless?

    I like this idea but it certainly has its pros and cons, most of which have already been mentioned by other members. I’ll be going neutral as I’d like to see this happened but it has downsides and complications.

    That’s like saying we might as well give everyone the chance to win a million dollars because it’ll end up in the billionaires pockets eventually. No logic in your statement.

    honestly i really like the idea. i think it would be nice to bring those items back into the economy instead of letting the prices of these heads rise extremely high. regardless of people irl trading or not, the heads/items themselves are legit and i think it would be awesome to redistribute them and let players have an equal chance to get their hands on them.

    like everyone said, there most likely won't be a separate drop party just for this so i think using the giveaway discord bot would be sufficient.

    There is no guarantees that confiscated heads will circulate as people might want to keep the head due to its rarity. Its essentially a gamble putting confiscated rares back into the eco. We also have to make the process as fair as possible, again no guarantees whoever wins will necessarily trade it.
    So if you are fine with the concept it means accepting that you will not get your hands on a head or rares just because it gets redistributed. That we may need to tighten the rules on lowballing scams and have precautions in place because people like to trick new players for their own greed and this is unacceptable behaviour within the community. It means also realising irl trade is still illegal and not to be hyped just because of the potential to win a rare.

    I don't see an issue using the dp plugin or giveaway bot as means to distribute a head prize. But its up to the community if we can do this without people doing the wrong thing.

    Why introduce items itnop the economy for a select few of users who are banned?
    We dont distribuite there islands wealth or grass at dp so heads arent so useful but to collectors. Maybe a shope item to help the server and community if possible? Again, banned players, why should we care?

    right ya but as the irl traders would not be partisipating so as a comunity we might want them to irl trade but more people would report them for the extra drops

    I can agree on reporting more, just the glorification of it seems a bit much, but I am new, so if that is a thing, I can't disagree on the why, and a dp would make sense. Getting more new people on to understand the reason wouldn't hurt either.

    There are no taxes for lottery winners in the UK. And confiscated weapons are destroyed and money is split between the government and the police (50/50).
    I’m not sure I understand your point.
