Are you feeling lucky punk?

I used to love lucky chair camping.  Since traffic has become a meaningless statistic, I tried to figure what I liked and didn't like about lucky prize chairs and make a better one.

I liked the randomness and uncertainty of being the next winner, but I wanted more chances... So I figured, why not make so you can bribe the chair for extra chances. I saw a person wandering around a sim once named 9lives who was moaning no lucky chair ever came up with her name, so I added the option to allow numbers in names.  I hated how each letter appears ever so slowly, so I figured out a way to res them all at once, goodbye fuzzy letters! I also wanted to make the chair as prim small as possible. I was in a tiny store when I started making it and I'm not sure how I did at 6 prims, I've thought of a few ways since I made it to bring it down to 4 prims, but I'm not sure it would look as decent as it does right now.

So I started scripting... and scripted... and scripted some more.  Once my fingers stopped bleeding, I scripted some more... About that time I realized I had done it all wrong and restarted, after four more restarts, I finally started to get past, "Hello, Avatar!" and eventually out of  my inability to script, I learned a lot. Scripting a project to learn more about scripting was very rewarding, it left me feeling like I could tackle almost any project (especially one without a lot of math), and come up with a solution.

I left the chair running in my store for the past year or so and in a few friends locations, and no one had any issues, so I now am offering the chair to everyone. For free.

The bribing option is optional, and I do have the script set to give me 20% of whatever is bribed into the chair. But hey, the chair is free.

It's available in the lucky chair in my store and on the SLmarketplace. As always, remember to pick up Eloh Eliot's free skin packs while you are there.  And take a gigglelook at the new offensive pose pack.
