Upgrade Idea -Pin the Tail on the Donkey-

Trubs sticky msg got me thinking..

Tell me if this sounds like fun...

Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

The idea is simple.

- Like Fantasy Sports, if you opt in it will cost you XX Points, lets say 20 points.
- The system will look at all the users that opted in (Lets say 10) and randomly select a Donkey
- If you last longer than the donkey, everyone splits the points evenly for all those that lasted longer than the donkey
- If YOU are the donkey, the only way you can win is to outlast everyone (And you win ALL the points)


An example would be 10 users at 20 points per user.. = 200 point prize pool.

Donkey outlasts 3 players, then gets KOed. So 6 players lasted longer.

6 players split 200 points for 33 points each.



Thoughts?

I like it!

I like it, but this wouldn't be a progressive prize pool, correct?

No, Sounds to me like it would be a new bet every tournament. Kind of like Donkey bets are now

No not progressive.

Sort of a group LLB

Yeah I like it, low risk low reward upgrade

i like the name of this idea/upgrade .. Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

This idea is a great one. I think alot of ppl will enjoy this promo for sure. Zab congrats on this if it works correctly

So you'd bet 20 to win 33? Sounds pointless to me.. Id like to be the donkey every time if that's the case, not picked randomly

ooo that sounds fun Zab =)

So this promo is kinda like donkey bet then right? How many points are you maxing at?

sounds fun,, but very small points to w in,, like bet 20 u said to maybe win 33,, thats 11 points profit??? heheh,, sounds coool,, but maybe can be for a few more points tho maybe????

all in all its going to be awsome for those who love to bet on this kinda promo.

I think if the donkey wins they should get an extra incentive.. Just for being the donkey.

i agree with Dalsue214. just a bit more plz.

yea. i want more HIGH ROLLER promos

When do you plan on making this happen Zab?

Seems like a pretty good idea. The more that participate and the longer the donkey last, the better the payout.

I can make it 50 point buyin or whatever people want.

I mean, if you are the donkey and 10 people opt in, 50 points will get you 500.

If its just you and the donkey left, and you outlast him, you win 500 points.

If 2 of you outlast the donkey its 250 points each.

So it can be very few, or can be a lot of points. Each tourney would be different.

I could add a progressive prize pool for the donkey. The only issue is, how to make sure we have a different donkey each time. The system would have to make it even.

Maybe the donkey wins an extra coupon if they win or something.

+ all the points? That's a lot :)

50 or 100 ppointsss better buy in tho for sureee:))),, and i guess the donkey gets picked at random tho????

i WOULD DEFO not want to be th e donkey thooo,,, lol,, if u have to w inn tho.

Sure, anything for extra points.

Seeing how points are pretty hard for me to come by.

I Totally,completely, and most certainly Hate surveys. Any way to get points without a survey is welcome by me.

do what ever you wanna do its your world i'm just along for the ride great job too

So, I think this could be a fun promotion. I could also make this a progressive prize pool for the donkey.

Meaning

If the Donkey wins the tourney, he wins the points with some rules:

At least XX # of people needed to be opted into the promotion

and

I need someway to make it so its an equal playing field, so the person with the LEAST amount of times being the donkey will be it.

More feedback needed on this promotion, help me make it better!

Would you rather there be no opt in points? So everyone gets to play? 1/2 the prize pool points go to everyone, the other 1/2 goes to the donkey.. until the donkey wins?

Or would you rather have it like I originally spec'd it out

So here's my latest thought on this, maybe I am way off my rocker here. We make this sort of a progressive prize pool sort of not.

Here's the way I thought maybe it could work.

Every tourney there will be 200 points + whatever the winning bidder bids to be the donkey

The idea is, all the users are trying to take out the donkey, anyone who outlasts him will win an equal share of the 200 points + how much the donkey bid to be the donkey.


An example.

Lets say the prize pool to be the donkey is $16.25. Many people will bid in secret, how many points they would pay to be the donkey. If you bid say 200 points and someone else bid 205 points, that person would be the donkey.

The prize pool for EVERYONE ELSE would be 200 + 205 = 405 points split among everyone.

If no one bids to be the donkey, there is no donkey for that tourney.

If the donkey wins the tourney, he wins 70% of the prize pool.

How's that sound?

sounds good if u have lots of points to spare :/

Going to start this promo tomorrow (Start working on the upgrade)
