New Feature -- Betting!

Arik · 07-24-2004, 02:01 PM

Because, what's a bar without gambling?

Brikar · 07-24-2004, 11:58 PM

Whoa... interesting... fresh... I like it. Too bad I have absolutely no idea about the tour de France.

Arik · 07-25-2004, 12:37 PM

Yeah, it was just an example. When I was testing it, my test post was "How long until Klingonharder gets banned again from Trekweb?"

It'd be nice if it were tied into something, so there would be an actual feeling of loss when you lose, but right now the only two things to tie it into would be a Store that offers what most people here already have the ability to do, and a virtual pet system, where you raise a pet, train it, then fight it against other people's animals.

This is the first of a few new features I'm looking at bringing around here. And, if anyone has any suggestions, please mention them.

Holosuites

Arik · 07-25-2004, 03:09 PM

Yeah, that'd be fun.

Brikar · 07-25-2004, 03:16 PM

But we've already got the Arcade... CAn't get much better than that.

Cujo · 07-26-2004, 05:15 PM

So question... how do you determine the winner.

Arik · 07-26-2004, 05:35 PM

Well...according to MSN, Lance Armstrong has won his 6th...

Cujo · 07-26-2004, 06:43 PM

No no... I mean if we all had bet on the race, how does the system know who won? Is it something to imput after?

Arik · 07-26-2004, 06:52 PM

Yeah, I think. I've set this one to close tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out then.

"But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those friendly, intelligent, wonderful people...will become as nasty and as violent as the most blood-thirsty klingon."
