[B][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]Hey everyone, today is going to be my first official update into[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)] DreamScape[/COLOR].

[COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)]I've been working on it since the second day I've joined [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]DreamScape [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)]and settled up a goal to make this as my first update.
This is a single update, yet it's a VERY big update which I'm sure everybody is going to love.

This is not something you've ever seen before, on ANY server around, this is created exclusively for [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]DreamScape[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)].
I created this amazing content withing the help of few staff members, it was a bit difficult to get the community input about it since we didn't want to share out the update and to keep it as a surprise, so within the few next days you might be aware of some community input pools regarding the system (like what can be changed or adjusted to the community liking).

[SIZE=6][COLOR=rgb(0, 51, 102)][U]System Explanation[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

[SPOILER="Introduction"]
[SIZE=4][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]The idea behind this is very similar to Bingo, every player is allowed to enter the lottery once per draw by paying the Entry cost.
Every 2 hours the System will draw the lottery as long as there are more than 50 entries.
Meaning that if there's no enough entries (less than 50) 30 minutes will be added to the lottery drawing time.
If there's enough entries, the lottery will draw while attempting to find a winner in the following prefix:

[SPOILER="Explanation"]
[LIST]
[*][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]System creates a random winning number from 1-100 ([SIZE=3]For this example, 75 is the random number the system chosen[/SIZE])[/COLOR][/B][/B]
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[B][B][LIST][*][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]The system will generate the amount of times it needs to roll through all entries:[/COLOR][/B][/B][/LIST][/B][/B]
[/LIST]

[INDENT][INDENT][B][COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)][SIZE=3]The system starts with 5 rolls, then for every 10 entries it goes down by 1[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
[COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)][B][B][B][SIZE=3][It rounds the entries to the smallest (like 78 will be rounded to 70)][/SIZE][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][SIZE=3]Example; There are 82 entries, the system will roll for 2 times only.[/SIZE][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][SIZE=3]For whoever wonders this is the calculating method: ((100 / 10) - (TOTAL_ENTRIES / 10)) <- In our example "TOTAL_ENTRIES" is 82.[/SIZE][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/COLOR][/INDENT][/INDENT]

[LIST]
[*][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]What does times to roll mean?[/COLOR][/B][/B]
[/LIST]
[INDENT][INDENT][B][B][COLOR=rgb(77, 166, 255)][SIZE=3]The system holds a list of all entries, once the drawing happens the system loop through the list comparing the number generated (75) to the entry numbers in the list, there might be no math found in the first loop thus there are couple of rolls which the system set
(as I explained above).[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/B][/INDENT][/INDENT]

[LIST]
[*][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]The system loop through all the entries, if there's a match found in the first loop it will be Jackpot, or else a regular prize.[/COLOR][/B][/B]
[*][B][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]If there is no match in the first loop, the System will continue looping for the times of rolls settled before[/COLOR][/B][/B][/B]
[*][B][B][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]If there is no match found in all the loops (Which would barely happen) there is no winner and the system will just create a[/COLOR][/B][/B][/B]

[B][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(0, 51, 102)][U]Entry Cost calculation:[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]There are two types for Entry costs: "[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]Low[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]" & "[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]High[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]".
Low means Entry cost is [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]1B [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]to [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]100B[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]High means Entry cost is [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]100B [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]- [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]2T[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

[B][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(0, 51, 102)][U]Prize calculation:[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)][B][U]Regular Prize:[/U][/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)][B]Total Entries * Entry cost, and then 10% off[/B]
[B]Example: (70 * 1,000,000,000) / 10 = 63,000,000,000 (Because 10% off 70,000,000,000 is 7,000,000,000, we simply take 7B off 70B)[/B]
[B]Calculation method: (Total Entries * Entry Cost) / 10[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)][B][U]Jackpot:[/U][/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)][B]In this case, There's the same calculating as the regular prize but we don't take 10% off, meanwhile the method changes to:[/B]
[B]Total Entries * Entry Cost; So say there is 70 entries and entry cost is 1,000,000,000 the prize will be 70*1,000,000,000=70,000,000,000[/B]
[B]Calculation method: (Total Entries * Entry Cost)[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[/SPOILER]
[COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]I realize how confusing this can be, but I promise once you guys get used for this you will understand it so quickly.
I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my primary language [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(255, 166, 77)]:p

[B][COLOR=rgb(0, 89, 179)]Thanks for reading![/COLOR][/B]
[COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]Your sincerely,[/COLOR]

Tyrant, your a beast!

This ulnew feature sounds fantastic and comes with a great opportunity for every player to earn some cash while not needing to gamble away their entire game. This also is unique, and therefore something that, in my opinion, we need as a server.

Good job man, already looking forward for more projects of yours!
