Your whole arguement is based on a quote from the Sports Coliseum forums, but I am not allowed to bring those forums up?

Obviously not interested in discussing this intellectually or open-minded. Good luck with your suggestion!


That quote could be anywhere on the site and still be legitimate. I'm not interested in stating 50 times that this has nothing to do with betting. If you want to discuss this in an open-minded manner, then stop repeating what people have been saying for four pages.

Saying that the lottery is supported but other gambling isn't is like saying that the US Government should support waterboarding but no other form of torture.

*facepalm*

I think I'll stop while I'm ahead.

The above quote says it all. I see no reason to take something away that is not only safe, but alot of fun when you have a few dozen, or even a few thousand fg to blow. Who wouldn't want to put in 5fg and walk away with 50,000fg? My logic, as well as my personal reasoning, is one in the same. It's safe, so why take it away?


And if people were smart with poker, then it would be just as safe. If people enjoy the lottery, then they will have fun with it. Just like if people enjoy gambling, then they will have fun with it. But, I'm not here to argue why the site should or shouldn't support gambling. I'm here to argue that if the site is going to say they don't support gambling, then they need to stop having an official lottery.

But you still don't seem to be getting the picture. Let's see if this works.

Here's my take on the "JSP Definition of Gambling."

'Any form of gambling between users which is non-regulated and unsafe.' <- do you disagree? If so, explain because it just seems to me like you want to take something fun away from the community simply because it's not in accordance with the aforementioned definition. Keep in mind, the lottery is a system.

I look at it like this. The JSP Lottery is to Regulated Casino Gambling as any user vs user gambling is to playing cards in a back alley with some hustlers. See what I'm getting at?

Edit: Or maybe IM not getting the picture. It just seems like you're being incredibly close-minded about it.

It won't get taken out, simply because it takes so much fg from the system.

How does ngaguar pay his bills and feed his family? people buy fg.

How does he stop fg from losing its 'value' and meaning more needs to be injected all the time?

taking fg out.

How does he do this? three main ways:

1. Lotto
2. Ladder slasher
3. Locking people

He's not going to get rid of one of the main ways of keeping his economy functioning.

No.
  • Betting as it your own risk
  • You cannot get scammed by the raffle, there is always a chance that you win something, but if you bet for different sport activities, there is no garantuee that you will ever get the FG
  • Won't happen that this will be removed.

No, it removes alot of fg out of the system and therefore stops inflation.
