??? coin raffles: After 60 seconds are up, the winner loses 999 coins at worst and earns 999 coins at best. Sliding raffles: Each successful join adds 1 to 100 coins (depending on the starting value). The winner gets all the coins. Everybody wins raffle: A certain number, less than the grand prize, is selected as the participation prize.

agreed with adamg's post! but what if the raffle participant had to lose 999 coins, but what if he didn't have 999 coins? would he go into the negatives for coins? if so, would (if he earned coins back to 0) , would it count for the coin leaderboard?

The lowest point caps off at the poorest Warzone Player (c-(2c).

way too complicated, let's keep it more simple. If there was some ??? coin raffle, why not keep it between -2 and 10 or something like that? Or a raffle where the winner takes 1 coin of each loser, muahahaha

If you cannot go negative you get into an issue where players will only join with poor alts, instead of their rich main accounts. If the alt wins the Raffle, you transfer the coins to your main account. Fizzer would also find it to time consuming to implement this I am afraid. He still has bugs to fix, and proper features to develop. New Raffle's wouldn't be on that list, since they only cost him money and don't make any . Unless he is going to include proper negatieve coin balances....
Yep, that's the problem, the system is at odds with itself because it's meant to protect against dishonest players yet relying on their honest voluntary identification.
But I'm thinking of something else, which unfortunately would end up being either too onerous on mods or just plain unenforcable, which instead of just enforcing the limitations on identified alts, but enforcing the good on the identified primaries.
So you basically have to get someone (I'm guessing a mod) to check your account as a primary. Not all primaries will have it, and some won't care unless they're trying to do something it's required for (eg: these special raffles, etc).
But it's likely too time consuming for mods, and they have no surefire way to make a "No" call when asked to certify an account. How would a mod check an account? What requirements would an account need to have to become a 'primary'? And this system would indeed put way to much load on the moderators. Once again this doesn't bring Fizzer any money, it only costs time, so he would not even attempt to do this.

way too complicated, let's keep it more simple. If there was some ??? coin raffle, why not keep it between -2 and 10 or something like that? Same issue with alts, and on average you still get 7 coins per Raffle Or a raffle where the winner takes 1 coin of each loser, muahahaha This could be an interesting concept, however properly explain what player are getting into may take way to long. Besides all of this, the Raffle's already fulfill their purpose: keeping global chat alive

The lowest point caps off at the poorest Warzone Player (c-(2c). c = coins of the poorest player in the raffle you are missing a closing ) and the parenthesis aren't needed at all... this simple formula also would not become negative for players with 0 coins, so you once again end up with a bunch of alts

May I second QiuSe' idea: Or a raffle where the winner takes 1 coin of each loser, muahahaha
Then it would be more like a lottery.
LotteryBot: Lottery starting now. Winner takes it all, each lot 1 coin. To buy a lot, shout !lot within the next 5 minutes.
BTW, that bot would be in addition to the RaffleBot, which I would, like Viking suggests, not amend much.

Then he wins his own coin again. Winner takes it all...
And those of us who have lag in the chat, can double their chances...:
!lot Krulle, you have successfully exchanged 1 coin for a lot. Good luck in this lottery. !lot Krulle, you have successfully exchanged another coin for a lot. You now have two lots in this lottery. Good luck! !lot Krulle, you have no coins to buy lots from. You now have two lots in this lottery. Good luck!
LotteryBot: The Lottery is over. Congrats to the RaffleBot for winninng this lottery. The next raffle will thus be increased by 2 coins.
Dang. I even lose in this imaginary lottery, even when playing against myself.
Edited to add: Maybe we can have the RaffleBot always buy one lot, which decreases the next raffle by one coin, or increasses the next raffle by the won amount.

I think that people who are timed out , should still be able to take part in raffles
Otherwise, it will be unfair if they are great members of the community.

If player gets timed-out in chat, his previous 3-day coin winnings would be detracted and added to next wafaffle. If the player lacks the funds, he will gain negative amount of coins.
