Betting System

[Acehar]

Bounty is cool and all, but there isn't really an incentive for bountying someone. Rather, maybe introduce betting.

/bet <player> <amount>

Uses points like bounty, however, if that player wins the game, you get 125% (changeable) on return and the player gets a % of the points.

If that player dies, you lose your points and they go to the killer.

It adds an incentive for bountying and encourages economy throughout the community.
It seems a bit more fair and logical IMO.

Fanks, love you all.

I had an idea like this a while ago. The problem is, this is Survival Games. Not a casino!

Though, in the book, betting was common practice, I do like the idea.

I think it's funny that a betting system thread is one of the oldest.

Seems like a good idea

What happens if a large team decides to boost their points by betting on one player then letting them win?
This suggested system looks too easy to take advantage of.

People could just bet on the most geared person and people would get super high points...

 

[shoottomaim]

Just negate peoples' permission to bet after 5 minutes of game-play then...

I know there have been threads about this idea before, but I quite like the idea.

All you would have to do is follow gravey4rd around and bet your points on him every game, and you'll end up with more points than sixzoseven...
