Lottery System
Ok, I've come up with three systems. Chances are at least one of them is a copy of something else we have seen. I dunno, I really don't read into that stuff too much. I'm trying to base this all off of the prob and stat crap that I know. (Not that I know any of the defs. real well, I just like messing with this kind of stuff in my free time)
I honestly stole this idea from the NHL lottery for choosing draft order. (Go Sharks!)
Important Facts
Boss Kill - 1 point
Players enter MC. They all start with 0 points. They down Lucifron. All of them get 1 point. 2 items to be dished out drop. Secret ballot is sent to impartial (or for the very least, honest) party, if the person wants the item. Since everyone has 1 point, all those who want the item have a 1 in (however many people want it) chance of gaining said item.
Item 1: Darian, Sayuri, and Anadrol want it. They all have a 33% chance based on random roll (or whatever system is devised) Darian wins, now has 0 points.
Item 2: Sayuri, Anadrol, Gnolack, Mio, Trispal, Garrin, Ramala, and a random monkey want the item. That leaves them all with a 12.5% chance at the item. Ramala wins (lies!) and now has 0 points.
Ramala, Darian: 0 pts.
Everyone else: 1 pt.
Magmadar is killed. Everyone gets another point. 2 items drop.
Item 1: Ramala, and Mio want the item. Mio has a 66% chance (2 pts) to Ramalaâs 33% chance (1 pt). Ramala wins, Mio goes home dejected, and Ramala is back at 0.
Item 2: Mio, Garrin, Darian, want the item. Mio and Garrin have a 40% chance, and Darian has a 20% chance. (2 pts for both Mio and Garrin, 1 for Darian). Garrin wins the item, now has 0 pts, and Mio gets sadder.
Ramala, Garrin â 0 pts.
Darian â 1 pt.
Everyone else â 2 pts.
