Idea I had (843 views)

Got some pussy's in this thread, a 1 in 50 shot at losing 20 potential.

Would be great for mid 1st round draft picks.

[Heynong Man]

i do like the idea of having risk involved and players having the possibility of losing stuff though.

[20s Navidad]

Yeah, I have come around on Odin's options. I would support those possibilities. It is only 1 player who gets the -20 potential.

My question is for the other negatives like -3. Who chooses what category gets -3?

What about something like:

1 +5
2 +4
5 +3
5 +2
5 +1
4 -3
1 -5
25 nothing
3 20 day injury
2 40 day injury
1 60 day injury
1 180 day injury
1 +5 pot
1 +10 pot
1 -20 pot

Randomize and match the top whatever with the dudes doing it.

In this there are 58 possible outcomes, 20 of which are positive, 38 are negative or nothing. Considering +1 and +2 do next to nothing, there are 10 positive outcomes out of 48 total excluding the +1 and +2. That gives you a 21% chance that you get something that is worth anything, 52% chance you get nothing, 27% chance you get something that negatively affects your player. I for one am not about to take a 21% chance that something worthwhile happens to my player.

the injuries aren't negative exactly always, I'd pay 8k dump bucks for a 180 day injury right now to my best players.

[IanBoyd]

Anyways, I'd support Odin's version even though because the inclusion of possible losses in potential would probably mean almost no one would use it.

A RNG based system to me can't have ONLY positive or negative things, you want to spin the lottery wheel that doesn't have a charge? Need to be prepared to accept possible negative consequences, can't have people playing with house money that doesn't even include the possibility of them losing anything in the process.

[Druce]

In effort to not be a guy who just shoots something down without offering an alternative, we could have 29 different potential outcomes that are permanently numbered 1-29.

1 +7
1 +5
3 +4
5 +3
5 +5 Pounds
3 Nothing
3 -5 Pounds
3 -3
3 20 Day Injury
1 -5
1 -10 Potential

In this scenario there is a 52% chance you get something positive, with obviously a 48% chance to get something negative or nothing. The negatives aren't as severe, and there is one big "winner" if you will at +7. This makes it so it's still a risk, but the potential for a reward makes it worth that risk imo.

[Souper Troopers]

We could send our 2nd round players to this. This wouldn't be for lotto picks per say.

[Odin]

I'm not a fan of only having 29 possible "rewards"

[Druce]

Why? There are only 29 possible players involved?

[Odin]

Then it's the same shit every year. The more options the more extreme some of them can be.

[Druce]

If the options are too extreme, no one is going to do it, or they're going to send players who are ultimately worthless anyways, rendering the whole thing a waste of time.

[Odin]

With any negative outcomes no one is going to send a guy who went +5 in TC.

Team Odin

[Heynong Man]

yea i'm with Odin here

[Ocho]

voted no, but after thinking about it more I think I'd be ok with it.

Just stopping by to say that I'll never have a rookie that this will affect at the rate I'm going so I don't have an opinion.

Only 1 more for 700

[[Account Deleted]]

Obviously posted the 700th one in the Reward Camps thread. #protip

[Druce]

Considering in the past 3 draft classes there have been like 3 dudes who went +5, thats a statement that doesn't apply to many players. Anyways, do whatever you want with it, I'm just saying that with extreme outcomes it becomes something that people either send players who aren't ever going to be anything anyways or don't send anyone at all, making it a waste of time.

[Bankz]

I like the progress being made...

[RWisoursavior]

Seems like we're making progress but getting more No's, weird.

[Odin]

Casino reward?

I had an idea similar to this in the suggestion thread for casino
