Random Dice Roll Lottery Event

When I won the “Who Got Fiesta Jokes” even, I was treated to not only a good prize but also a wonderful little surprise, I get to host a Fiesta GameTips event. So after pondering which way was the best way to take the next event I decided to make it completely random, so without further ado may I present:

Random Dice Roll Lottery XD (copyright pending)

Start date: February 2nd, 2009 ENTER EVENT HERE
I have a “Dice Generator” program on my computer (I use it in this table-top rpg I play, it’s cheaper than buying dice) that can handle rolling up to 1000 1000-sided die, but sadly it totals all dice rolled.

For ease of understanding I have written 2 sets of rules: The ‘Legal’ version and The Cliff Note Version.

‘Legal’ Version:

1. When registering for the Lottery you need to answer the 5 fiesta-based trivia questions in a email sent to this address (kitone@live.com) with the subject being ‘Dice Roll answers’. Upon obtaining questions I will mark and take record of the number of right answers that were given. After registration is complete you will be given a set of numbers whose size equals the number of right answers given, in the case of complete failure only one number is given.

2. The dice (whose number of faces equals the maximum registered number) is rolled a number of times equal to approximately half the maximum number (ie if there are 30 numbers the dice is rolled 15 times) REPEATS OF A NUMBER ARE NOT COUNTED!

3. After the dice has been rolled, the person who has the most of their numbers played moves onto the Prize roll round.

4. In the Prize Roll round there is only one roll, a 30-sided die (number of sides open to change) and this result is compared to the “Prize Table to determine the Winner’s prize.

NOTE 1: If there are any ties for the winning position those players will be randomly assigned three new numbers and a “Tiebreaker Roll” is put in effect. This roll set has the same rules of the regular dice roll but the only competitors are those who tied. (number of player-assigned numbers may be changed depending on the number of people who are tied)

JohnNitro’s Notes: If you were confused by that don’t worry I was too, lol…. make sure to check out part 2 the notes there are easier to understand. Also I would like to add that a Fiesta Trivia will be added to this to associate it more with Fiesta. This post will be modified daily so make sure to keep checking it out so you will know when the event will start.
