Hey BRM ADMIN>>>>>>>>. I was just making a comment about someone cracking the safe for a second time (big well done to them) and noted that I (as many) regularly get the combination that hasnt been used!
So got to thinking, whether you had considered creating a bonus prize for the person who (say) in a calendar month, has the most attempts at cracking the safe and does not guess the combination.
What is the benefit to BRM? Maybe it will inspire players to have more attempts at the safe, which means them using or buying more mob points.
Maybe the prize could be a nominal amout of mob points (say) 100 or so, which isnt much, but gives people something a little extra to go for.
You may end up having the safe cracked more often and you would have to factor the potential for that in but you could always make it a 4 number combo to compensate.
You wuld also need a way (if you havent already) of recording how many attempts each player has!

I don't think making it a 4 number combination would work, that's a lot of possibilities!!
Maybe after Christmas I can try to run some numbers and see how it would look if we allocated some of the Safe money into a monthly (or something) pool for the one person who "wasted" most attempts without winning.

I don't think switching to 4 number combination is a good idea, the number of combos would be huge...
As for the guy that spends the most on the safe shots and ends up getting nothing not sure how the fact that he will get s symbolic price will help him

Four numbers it would be way too many There are so many playing every day and still havent managed to crack it with three numbers. So imagine with four. It would reach way too high before anyone guessing the combo. With three numbers the highest was 160 right? With four how much higher would you think it could reach?

The idea to have a prize for the Mobster who attempts to crack the safe the most times in one month is a good idea and it would inspire the Mobsters to buy more Mobsafe Shots so cudos for that idea. The other suggestion to increase the combo to a four digit combo is insane. It's really hard enough to hit and with something like that (10,000 combinations) I believe it decrease the amount extra Mobsafe purchases to crack it. If that makes sense.

Agree with decrease amount ! and our extra is not 1 shoot but more .3 digit is make sense I think. 4 is too much and 2 is too easy for BRM BRM could be add another term of condition, at least make 2 post or something to get extra shoot.
of the mind here....if it ain't broken...don't fix it. The safe is fine the way it is. If we're talking about some type of change then maybe have unused daily shots accumulate to maybe ten shots or so. Have seen quite afew posts here where people save up to 500 shots and still not crack the safe. Going to 4 digits...

Thanks guys.....great response..... only suggested 4 numbers as thought if we were enticed to have more goes to win another pirize that BRM may have to balance the books with more goes equalling a greater risk to BRM of more people winning more often so it defeats the idea!
