Chrome Pot Now Available

The (DS) Chrome Pot by Diamond Synthesis is a 7Seas-compatible plug-in that accepts money (L$) donations, pays money prizes, delivers non-money prizes, and broadcasts results to the (DS) LoLLy.

The Chrome Pot supports paying the pot automatically at contest or series end, which allows you to set up a totally automatic operation for a repeating contest series.

The Chrome Pot is configured entirely from the menu, that is, a "config" notecard is not used.

The Chrome Pot is available at Diamond Synthesis Pots & Buckets

and on Marketplace.
