Eco Reduction Lottery / Possible Cool Idea

So basically a way to reduce the economy by x percent or flat rate fairly. I envision two possibilities in a 'lottery' type format.

Since the amount, I envision being removed is like 8-20 million per lottery the prize would be "one of a kind" and useful (means wanted) similar to the "nutcrackers" and such.

Possible prizes (or something like these), remember these will be 1 of a kind when made:
Stick "Magic Wind", Sharp: 5, Knockback: 5
Blazerod "Magic Fire", Sharp: 1, FireAspect: 5
Wooden Hoe "Green Thumb", Fort: 5, Unb: 100
Diamond Pick, Eff: 5, Silk: 1, Unb: 100
Diamond Pick, Eff: 5, Fort: 3, Unb: 100
Diamond Pick, Eff: 10, Unb: 100

OPTION #1 - Take x percent form all active players in the past x days (unannounced).

PRO's - distributes the money loss more evenly amongst a larger group.
CON's - not everyone pays the same for a 'lottery' ticket, some will pay way more.
NEUT - would be like a true rag's to riches for all players to be involved, not just the rich ones.

OPTION #2 - Take x flat rate from top 8 players on baltop at the time of eco reduction (unannounced).

PRO's - has a greater chance of winning the prize and everyone paid equally.
CON's - a very large amount is paid per 'lottery' ticket say like 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 from each.
NEUT - give another incentive/disincentive to be on baltop, as people will either invest in gold to hide money from /baltop or people will want to be in the top 8 of it to be entered into the super lotto.

NOTE: No one is Forced, they are "atomically selected" as a "reward" to be in the lottery to win the AWESOME prize! If you don't' want to be in the top 8 then don't have so much money on /baltop (that is self-controlled).

OPTION #3 - I guess we can make it a normal true lottery system, and instead of just winning meebles like change it to one of the prizes and remove all the meebles.

PRO's - Everyone can participate if and when they like.
CON's - Might take "forever" to actually reduce the economy balance if no one buys tickets.
NEUT - System already exists we can just modify the Meep Lotto to do a drawing once all tickets are sold (500-1000 tickets at 10,000 each) perhaps.

My Example Combination of Option #3 and #1:

So, personally, I would choose a hybrid option then.

Lotto: 2,000 tickets
Cost: 10,000 per ticket
Prize: Diamond Pick, Eff: 5, Fort: 3, Unb: 100
Tickets Sold: 543 = 5,430,000
Tickets Remaining Unsold: 1457 = 14,570,000
Current Eco at the time of drawing (using right now) = 230,000,000
Deduction of automatic tickets to enroll is: 14.57/230 = 6% reduction

The 30 days has expired on the 30th day, everyone not ban AND active in the past 30 days AND with a balance of 100,000 meeble or greater will have a 6% reduction taken from their balance (which will give them x tickets towards that lottery).

Player #1 banance = 100,000 (* 6%) = 6,000 (does not qualify for deduction) = No Tickets
Player #2 banance = 400,000 (* 6%) = 24,000 (20,000 deduction) = 2 Tickets
player #3 banance = 1,300,000 (* 6%) = 78,000 (70,000 deduction) = 7 Tickets
Player #3 banance = 3,750,000 (* 6%) = 225,000 (220,000 deduction) = 22 Tickets
Player #5 banance = 8,800,000 (* 6%) = 528,000 (520,000 deduction) = 52 Tickets

TO AVOID automatically buying lots of tickets if you don't want them, you can easily store all your money in GOLD BLOCKS.

Okay, let's hear the thoughts!

 

So the top 8 are forced into this?

 

-1 forcing people to take part is rude and just saying that they could put it all in gold is ridiculous, I say a massive -1

 

No one is Forced, they are "atomically selected" as a "reward" to be in the lottery to win the AWESOME prize! If you don't' want to be in the top 8 then don't have so much money on /baltop (that is self-controlled).

 

What about towns?

 

Towns will still count, "mayors" would be given the prize if won.

 

sounds like socialism?

 

Socialism is the best 'ism!

OPTION #3 - see details above

 

don't think anyone wants to who continues to have millions in the bal since day 1
-1

 

Then that means they are agreeing to the terms and have lottery tickets given to them automatically while the meebles are subtracted from their balance, its simple. You either put it in gold blocks or you are playing the lottery!

 

What if i want millions in my town to keep it stable?

Also are nations counted?

If say legend and mystical and ck were all in baltop 8 would ck have triple chance or be able to win 3 prizes?

Also what if you have more gold than you can keep in your echest?

Also why does money need to be taken out in the first place?

 

You can put shulker boxes in your echest; you’d never be able to fill 27 shulkers full of gold blocks

 

-1

 

Kinda stupid really, without the consent of the player, meebles get removed from your bal. Maybe if the idea was accepted, then players will see that they'd have to take action to make their money into gold blocks. But you'd rather not have one break their mouse from clicking left click over and over like in skyblock. Maybe for you it's a nice idea, but for others, not that much. No one uses lotto as well, and though this might seem as a good idea to bring some form of usage to it, no one likes their money going to waste.

 

-1 this won't work in practice. Eco reduction is necessary, but not like this.

 

I personally enjoyed when the economy hit 36 billion.

 

Personally, I wouldn't want my money to be taken away and converted into items I may never use, such as the blaze rod and stick. -1

 

No one uses the current loto cause it sucks. If it had "good" prices it would be used more.

This will work (if done right), and I mean the only other choice just has them take the money and you get nothing, I mean sure it's your call, but I would at least like the chance to win something.

 

I'd rather 10% of all money be taken out of our bals tbh. 80k isn't absolutely devastating for me. If an admin were to do this without telling anyone, it would be far better than a lotto for worthless items

 

Ha, glad to hear that, please hand over your "worthless" NutCracker to me ASAP then!
