OrangeManiac Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) So, the Great @KaynineXL donated me some vanity items that I could sell to get some prize money for my hosted events. Looking at GTL, the value of these items could reach even over 100 million poke yen. Initially I thought I'll just sell them and put for World Cup prize pool but @xKicco already has dropped an absolutely incredible 100 million PokeYen donation to the World Cup. Not only I'm in complete loss of words for such incredibly large donations but now I'm faced with a dilemma that I never thought I would face. Would this be too much prize money to be all used in a single event? I personally wouldn't mind making the largest prize pool by far in the history of PokeMMO, I just want to know your thoughts as a community. Is over 200 million prize pool too much and should some be saved for some future player-hosted events like these, or do we just say "fuck it" and make this World Cup absolutely massive? This was just something so big that I don't think I should make decisions regarding this alone. So, I'm looking forward to hear your opinions, thank you.

RysPicz Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I would defo save it and use for future events. It's better to have many more events with decent prizes (pretty sure 100m is a nice amount of $$ to divide between few events) rather than one, massive one :) DoubleJ, OrangeManiac, SirAlbert and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment

Lightningvolt Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The idea of having 200Mil+ cash pool does sound great, but I think saving them for future events will be better (as long as the donators are fine with it). It will help you to host more big prize pool events and help other events, if you choose to. Even a prize pool of 50,000,069 should be big enough to make the world cup a big enough event and you'll save a lot of money for future events. soyhector, OrangeManiac, DrButler and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Bilburt Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 have u tried asking kaynine? soyhector and Platoons 2 Link to comment
KaynineXL Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) It's yours Orange for whatever events you want to use it on as I think you do a pretty damn good job hosting as well as creative event ideas. I tried to sell in gtl to give you cash, but turns out I had no money for the gtl fees rip. Edited January 13, 2019 by KaynineXL Laz, PinkLabel, DoubleJ and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment
Laz Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Uhm save it for Psl ? DoubleJ and OrangeManiac 2 Link to comment
DrButler Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 +1 for save it for future events. apart from community hosted events there barely is any hype that brings people together, so more events with a decent pool > one with an insane pool imo.

razimove Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Both things would be fine, but I personally think, it's more productive to save it for a future big event like this one, I believe having a 100m+ prizepool is already big enough of a incentive for everyone, no need for more.

Ki Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 that 100M is yours since i donated,I don't mind if it's used for one-off or for long-term planning:) OrangeManiac, WildHodor and PinkLabel 2 1 Link to comment
Mike Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 ign: TheChampionMike thanks Spoiler But seriously depending on how many more sign ups the world cup is going to get I would honestly save at least 100mil for future events. A prizepool of 50-75mil is imo large enough for the world cup. If out of nowhere like 50 more people sign up just yeet that prizepool to 100mil. With the money leftover that should be able to fund at least the next PSL and another big community driven event so I would definitely save some of it.

Kaitha Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) in a serious note, saving for further events sounds way better 100m per event is just enough edit: or, depending on how many players receive the prizes on the end of the event (for ex psl, best player of the season, manager, players etc etc) you should like make a enough amount between every player that got a prize. Sorry for bad english Edited January 13, 2019 by Kaitha OrangeManiac 1 Link to comment
Roxxass Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I already share u my opinion, sell it orange and save the money for future events, we have a big pool prize right now or if u want, use just a little bit of the money for the tournament (5-10m or less) and wil be ok too.

JLxKaos Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 keep the vanities and sell them when u do another event, i suppose they are limited so theyll be worth even more in the future OrangeManiac 1 Link to comment
Makarovs Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 100m is already better than any official event prize, it's not necessary to add. Save it OrangeManiac 1 Link to comment
