A Use For Those Pounds

[silentservice2]

From what I've read about jackpot pounds is that you bet them in a certain free-for-all event and the winner gets all the pounds, maybe in cash.
Well why not treat the the jackpot pounds like real cash for buying stuff things in the game? After all, if it is going to be rewarded as cash (if being key word), it'll most likely be used to buy stuff for the game anyhow. I'm sure that some system can be set up to ensure that people will still use real cash to buy things, like needing double the amount of pounds to buy something compared to real cash. But to make the new jackpot event better in that light, make the winner get twice the amount of pounds that was bet. That way the winnings will have the same value as cash, for in-game use (the other option the winner could chose is the equivalent worth in real cash if that's what they're planning to do).

good luck with that idea. i support it and would be a happy man if it happened but good luck gettin BP to accept it. i have 12 pounds right now. so i have 6 real life pounds?
you'd have a better chance with a 10:1 ratio where 10 unreal=1 real.

Well, whatever the ratio, it would be whatever BP made it, if they did this. You only have 12 pounds? And I thought my 36 pounds was a low figure...

The best great ideas are simpler ones, both for programming and to avoid confusion.

Maybe BP would implement this, if my idea isn't too confusing or would cost BP too much money (with a 10:1 ratio, I don't think they lose much). But I also think that this exchange might help out new players, or people who may not have credit cards handy.

Of course, with credit cards being said, maybe you could buy pounds (at same ratio that they are worth, like mentioned earlier 1 real:10 game pounds) to spend later. Then you could buy whatever on different computers, or if you think there's a virus waiting for your credit card number, there's nothing for it to steal if you're using pre-bought credit (game pounds in this case).

Greetings,

Your idea has some merit but, the way it is set up now, seeing as how the jackpot battle has yet to be opened, I believe once a month or so there will be a all out battle royal where whoever would like to try can battle to the last sub floating, where as all your jackpot pounds will be givin over into the pool, and the winner gets the equivalent in actual money, there really isnt much of a point of using the pounds for something else, that would leave non for the battle and that means no prize money for the winner. The jackpot pounds are there for one reason PRIZE MONEY. Thats one reason why it takes so long to find pounds you have to work for it so you can join in the battle. You could try to have your idea put in but I'm fairly sure it wont go through. The one goal for the battle's winner is to win up to 10k in real money which is very possible if enough people get in the battle and have the needed pounds.

I hope this information helps you out.

Hope to see you in the water
