(Cast Lot) rules DynamisFollow

Some of the lotting rules I've seen that I liked are:

For AF2: You can only lot for the job you are currently using. There can be exceptions here like if someone wants to come as one job but they are asked to come as another, they should be able to choose which job they want to lot BEFORE-HAND. The important thing for keeping it fair is to decide this before-hand. Also you can only lot if you are within one level of equipping it. So no Lv65 players lotting on a Lv73 AF2, unless there's nobody high enough to lot.

For currency: The people paying for Dynamis get the currency & synth materials. The AF2 is viewed as the reward for showing up, the currency is viewed as the reward for forking over a million Gil. If the cost for Dynamis is split evenly among everyone, then perhaps have people choose whether they want to be able to lot on AF2 or currency/materials. If the cost is being payed from a fund like an LS bank, then perhaps have the LS members nominate a person or group of people that the currency is split evenly between. The problem with currency is that it requires so much of it do actually do anything, so there's no point in having 64 people get 2 pieces of currency on a run.

Lastly, one rule that I really liked was that people who have already cleared the current area get priority. People who haven't yet cleared the area can only lot if nobody else does. Otherwise there can be some harsh feelings when someone on their very first Dynamis gets an AF2 over someone who has gone to the last 40 runs and gotten nothing. For disputes, if they can pronounce the appropriate Hydra Corps key item in the auto-translate, that proves they've cleared the area.

When setting up these rules, bear in mind that allowing people to lot on single currencies can cause some serious lotting spam in an already-laggy Dynamis.

In my first Dynamis linkshell, there were 3 linkshells involved so we had to be very specific about the lotting rules. Here's how it worked, before the Dynamis you would set a 'Mission' comment if you wanted to be able to lot on AF2. That way the organizers could just look at the linkshell list and see who's lotting on what by the color of their search comment. Those who were lotting on currency could only lot on synth materials and 100-denomination bills. The single currency pieces were allowed to drop freely because we didn't want the spam to mess with us. I liked the method of using search comment to indicate your lotting preferences.

Well sorry it was such a disjointed and long post, but hope you got some useful ideas from it.

I've seen and heard of a few rules - participation points, time in LS, free lot after a trial... depends what's gonna suit your LS and the people you have in it. In a way free lot is total hell because you're praying for your item to drop and you're seeing people you're friends with as opposition when it does.
