Something I have seen in games is being able to stake others simply by rolling between 0-100 and whoever gets the highest number wins. Usually it's a 2-3 for a win. I figured since the chatroom already has a command to do this roll you could implement a way to gamble against each other, send a duel request and the other has to accept it, then it automatically does the rolls and gives the winner the winnings. Maybe take a 1% house cut as well.


Also, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but what if the Hack Game has a bytes payout for cash, for example $10,000 can get you 500 bytes? it would certainly get a lot more people interested in playing.


Thoughts?

It does seem like a pretty fun way to boost activity on chat, but what does it add to the forum itself?

On your cash to bytes question, the answer is yes, eventually, and I can't be bothered to search for the post. Some try hard mod will quote it eventually....or I will

Edit:

I guess I'm the try hard mod

Gives members a PVP game to play with their bytes. From what I gather, a lot of people are tired of Blackjack, Flips and Slots. Having a way to gamble against others would be much more fun. Any update that gives more things for the members to do is a good addition to the forum.

That post of Omni was a year and a half ago, hopefully we see that change soon.
