Well, there aren't any races in Lusternia, so, why not make is so we can bet on who will win Wargames and FFA's?

For Both...

... bet on which person/team dies out first
... bet on which person/team will win
... bet on how long the Wargames / FFA will last

For FFA's...

... bet on which person dies which way


I don't know. I think it'd be fun. Reminds me of how I used to get into fights with kids at school, and people would bet on who would lose...

... ah, nostalgia.

I'm all for betting on who will win, betting on who dies which way doesn't make much sense... I see alot of gold lost that way.

That gold would go to the city/commune.

Already do this through clans. Don't see why we need a system coded.

Everything is more fun when it's coded!

Besides, those clans don't give the money to the city/commune, do they?

only reason id see coding it would be so it could be an infinate amount of cash you can bet and that sounds easily abused sadly not an intelligent use ie: local novice vrs -god of choice- durr not hard to lose the bet... oh hey just made a quick 1000000+k in two seconds *thumbsup*

You cant bet on the loser. And betting on how they die is far far far too hard to code with all the options. Bookys in Achaea do this kind of thing already if Lusternia wants it theres something to start from. And how long is bad, people could set fights by waiting. They could set them by throwing them too, but the idea is trying to have things that are harder to guess or the city/commune will just lose alot.

The obvious solution to "setting" fights (or whatever else) is to not have the money go to the controlling organization. If the money only goes to other people as controlled by the bookie then it's isn't abusable, and punishing/not using a dishonest bookie would stop most cheating in that respect.

I actually like the concept of the bookie system.

could just implement the blackjack/roulette system. THe money comes from no where, but any gold you lose goes to the organization you're playing at. seren's casino gives golds to Seren but those who win from it get it from no where. it's 'created' essentially. The way to just stop abusing this would clearly just be to only allow bets on divine events. so any divine started avenger arena games, and any of the world events like hamsters. If duels wanted to be betted on it's doable now by solely by the integrity of everyone involved. I think we asked for a bookie system like the one in achaea but got a no, I made up games for it too

It's kind of hard to bet on FFAs because a lot of people join at the last few seconds or something so you never know.

To clarify, "I actually like the concept of the bookie system (in Achaea)."

I swear I already knew it existed...

i don't think its doable with out being abusible if it uses any npc, or automation. i think clans are a good way to bet, or heck betting with the person right next to you, you almost dont even know there really isnt any need for that.
