I only read the first couple of replies, as the whole things is not grosse, just stupid and inchoherent rambling. It was an attempt at an RP, but some of the spelling is as bad as some members on here. -------------------- Mugglenet--The ULTIMATE Harry Potter Site. Polaris-- New location.

I dunno. "An evil dude who hates the ppl and kills them" is pretty far down on the bad-to-good scale. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

"an evil dude who hates the ppl and kills them"... Actually, that is the simplest definition of a plot element that is prevalent through nearly all roleplays. :P Mh... - The Silvar Inn - The Sands of Time Admittedly, the use of the non-word "ppl" is suprisingly rare. -------------------- "Toleration is not the opposite of intoleration, but is the counterfeit of it.

My black shadow man can beat your red ninja man. In other news, the Powerball jackpot is up to $340 million. Anyone who lives in the US and is old enough to play doing so? Do you think that participating in the lottery is worth a dollar? I would argue that even the miniscule chance of winning warrants the trouble of going to a shop and spending a buck on a ticket. It's all about the dream, really. [ Wednesday, October 19, 2005 05:53: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Well, okay. Most roleplays do indeed feature evil guys who hate people and frequently kill them. Still, saying it like that... :P Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

quote:Divide the total winnings by the odds of winning with a single ticket, and you get the expected value of said ticket. If it's larger than what you pay (in which case there is probably something wrong with the numbers), then it's a good investment. If it's not, then it's only about entertainment. :P Posts: 20 | Registered: Sunday, February 27 2005 08:00 |

I would rather lose money on a lottery ticket than participate in that RP for free. —Alorael, who considers playing the lottery a kind of charity towards the state running it. Except for honesty and advertising, it's really no different from those less official setups where you can donate to a worthy cause and maybe win the raffle.

Groan... that is pretty awful. I've seen way too much junk like that on message boards (not here, in my memory)... ye olde "Sword Fight" topics, as I believe they were called. Like RPs for those unwilling to make any mental committment whatsoever. Where insta-kills and reincarnation reign supreme... quote:Hey, we're working on it, as I believe you are too. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Drew — $340 Million? Christ! The highest its got in Victoria (from memory) for a while is a measly $29 million, although it makes up for the lack of quantity by frequently having $9 million jackpots.

quote:It's worthless, you'll just lose your time, energy, money (a dollar is a dollar), and just end up in disappointment. I still can't manage to stop my mother from playing it when it's at such high numbers. There is this lottery in Dom. Rep. (played on Wed. and Sun.). It is legal and broadcast on TV. I’ll try to explain it as good as I can, because it’s a bit hard. Three random people go into a TV Channel, and they do this whole process of putting white gloves and showing everyone how they do not have anything hidden. Then they'd pick out one little ball (there are 100, containing each #) and show it to people. It looks fairly real, since it is live and everything. Well the numbers will go into first place, second and third. You win if you betted in at least one of the numbers, and the amount you win will depend on what place the number got and the amount you betted. For example: If you bet US$1 and the number got into first place, then you'll win US$56. If you bet US$2 = $112 and so forth. If you bet US$1 and the number got into second place, then you'll win US$12. If you bet US$2 = $24 and so forth. If you bet US$1 and the number got into Third place, then you'll win US$4. If you bet US$2 = $8 and so forth. Now, you are also allowed to bet on two numbers at the same time (called palle), and if they both come out these will be the results: If the numbers come out in First and Third place, the amount you betted times US$200. If the numbers come out in Second and Third place, same as above. However, if the numbers come out in First and Second place, then the amount you betted times US1000. And oh yeah, the minimum you could bet is US$1. My family (especially aunt, whom plays almost every week) play it a lot. Edit: that was by far the largest post I've ever made. Damn, I was bored.....

I would rather spend 50 quid on lottery tickets than 50 on a slot machine or such.
