Just an idea..

[protocol_]

I don't know if this has already been shot down or brought up, but I had this idea the other night and it seemed pretty good at least to me. What if there was a way to bet on your skill besides dueling someone for a set amount. Possibly another function for the power ball or flags that you could toggle with ?"command:kills your betting on:money your betting on." Obviously only have it enabled when the population is set above a certain amount. If you don't get the amount of kills you said you were going to get before you are killed then you lose the money you have bet. If you exceed your targeted kills then your reward will be based on how much you bet + the % or additional kills you acquired (doubled your kill bet = doubled money bet). To prevent people from setting their kill bet at 2 kills for $10,000, have a minimum kill bet at 8+ or maybe even higher. Also, have a salary cap on how much you can bet for money based on the amount of kills the person tries for.

 

Example:

 

Acquired the ball/flag

 

type ?bet 10:1000 <---- That will mean that you must get at least 10 kills to get back your $1000 and once you past ten kills you will start seeing profit from you bet.

 

get 20 kills $2k 30/$3k

 

Once you die, you will see the money you have earned from the bet.

 

Like I said before, this is only an idea to make more money in center. Lately, there hasn't been many flag games and those that are played are generally ruined by private freqs fed up with the lower/medium players..

 

Also you will still receive the money and experience from the kills like you would normally.

 

 

 

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Also, in my example, you don't have to bet that little for 10 kills or even have it set for 10 kills. Bid more if you want more, bid less if you are a pansy. Depending if this idea works, doc can set the minimum kills to a lower number.

I like this idea. Umm, Maybe if you die before you get your desired kills you'd get half your money back. Lets say someone says they'd get 25 kills before they died and they bet 512k They'd lose all of it. So i say ya lets do this idea but if they bet is over 10k it is cut in half if you die before you desired kills.

What the !@#$%^&* kind of bet gives you half back if you lose?

It would have to be all or nothing.

I like the idea, but unfortunately, i see this being abused. I've seen kills purposely given before. With this, there would be a better reason to do more of it.

 

However, this might be good for a duel. Say one person betting another they will win or something...

 

Less likely that person will lose on purpose since they are now losing their money if they do.

Yeah, I agree. This is just an open invitation to tradekillers.
