Bets

[Vatican Assassin]

Now that we got a money system, let's start betting spacebucks on TWL games.

This thread is for all the ideas on how it should work, but I'm thinking a new page on TWL site where you can bet on who wins, who MVP's--TWLM with spacebucks.

Great way to connect pub to TWL cuz if we get new players playing in pub for money events we got to show em the way to TWL. Earn money in pub, bet it on TWL games, doubles your money and makes you want to watch the games you bet on and start playing TWL and TWD if you haven't already. Should start this next season.

sounds great, i'll be the bookie.

If it was done well, with spreads and totals, that'd be really cool

IB some terr throws his TWLB game to get subspace RICH

Really good idea, thanks Vatican.
I'll discuss it with Arobas and see if we can develop something like that. It might be too late for this season, but def. a good idea for the next one!
Keep the suggestions for such a system coming in this topic.

[Zeebu]

good idea for the next one!

Hah I love it

I've actually heard quite a few people say something similar to this in-game. I think we should definitely move forward with it

As stated above, a great way to connect the community.

Public betting with real money would implicate fair play in TWL.


edit: Oh we're not talking real money here.

FANTASY TWL

pick 8 basers (a terr, 2 sharks, 5 spids)

pick 5 wbs

pick 5 javs

Costs $1000 spacebucks or whatever amount to enter, plays like any fantasy league. Another reward for playing pub and becoming interested in more TWL games.

The fantasy aspect is cool but it might be a bit difficult for the pubbers to know who's good and what not.

I'd say that the straight-forward, win/lose betting works best. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to figure out spreads. Then come playoffs, it could be like college basketball where you make your own brackets. I'm interested.

good idea i like it.
another random idea with pub: have a jail / fines and such. TK someone get locked out of TKing ships until you pay the fine. don't pay your fine in X amount of time or commit a certain offense too many times: get locked in jail. (3x3 tile cell) have a friend pay your bail :fear:

Fantasy can just be another smaller part attached to of betting site, but I agree the standard bets with spreads and a bonus if you pick MVP should be primary goal.

if there is a jail, put holes in it so people can come pick on him, and he can at least have chance of getting stray kills while incarcerated

i would pay for a thor to kill guy in jail

jailing the dude is bit much, fine him $100 for every X number of teamkills.

Who is really going to sit in the jail and let themselves get strayed? I would just esc+q, and say fuck it, i'll log back in later (or fuck this game, i'm not coming back, for most pubbers)

i was thinking 15-30 seconds jail time, he just made others wait 5-10 seconds to respawn and get back into fr with the tks afterall
