Point gambling system

wariovswario · 12-15-2006, 09:09 AM

You know, like a flash arcade type of thing with poker and slot machines and stuff. Actually gambling our points! Wouldn't that sound like fun?

Big Daddy · 12-17-2006, 06:13 AM

that does sound good

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-17-2006, 08:50 AM

The arcade mods (don't know which) wanted to do something like this but they couldn't. If it's possible to implement, it would be a good feature.

wariovswario · 12-17-2006, 09:06 PM

It'd actually put some real competition into the richest users board. As of now, getting a spot on it is pretty much useless as we all put our money into the bank. Gambling can put the risk in points and actually put changes into the rankings! It's just the thing to pull Ace down!

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-17-2006, 11:14 PM

DOWN WITH ACE
ACE = KULAK

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-17-2006, 11:17 PM

What's that? I don't speak commoner speak anymore.

**March of the Covenant** · 12-18-2006, 06:34 AM

Did you ever?

wariovswario · 12-18-2006, 06:40 AM

hahahaha....shane lowered the interest rate now! It's now 1 percent! 8 months ago it used to be 4 percent. Damn you Ace! Btw I took a picture of you....

isn't it sad what money can do to people?

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-18-2006, 08:14 AM

All this means is that it will be extremely difficult for anyone to catch up to Ace.

wariovswario · 12-18-2006, 08:32 AM

By point gambling? If anything, it'll make the process a lot quicker.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-18-2006, 08:37 AM

No, lowering the interest rate. He was able to amass that fortune at 2-4%, at 1% no one has any chance of reaching him.

wariovswario · 12-18-2006, 09:04 AM

that's unfair....but I have a plan....mass thieving anyone?

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-18-2006, 09:06 AM

I was never able to thief more than 1 point at a time. And what if he purchases (or already purcashed) immunity to theif?

wariovswario · 12-18-2006, 04:26 PM

I don't think he did...until you said that that is. Haha...you screwed up that plan to take him down.

Valigarmander · 12-18-2006, 04:36 PM

Here's a way to gamble money: Give 1000 points to Valigarmander, and see if he uses it to buy you a gift. Fun!

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-18-2006, 05:14 PM

Only one thief protection has ever been sold, and it was months ago.

EDIT: WTF!? Now interest isn't even collected every day??

Valigarmander · 12-18-2006, 05:58 PM

DAMNITY DAMN! Now I don't get **** from all my cash in the bank.

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-18-2006, 07:25 PM

I think you should all petition Shane to raise the interest rate to fifty percent. That way you will all surely have more points than me.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-18-2006, 07:38 PM

Ace, say it stayed 2%/day. Everyone has the same rate. Ace, say you accumulate a bunch of missed days or take a week off VGF (i.e. leaving forever) You will be surpassed eventually. Still, that's unlikely, so... eh... yeah, drastically reducing the interest rate will cause posts to be worth more and people who post too much (Val, myself, t3hDark, March) will rise fairly high quickly.

Valigarmander · 12-18-2006, 08:25 PM

WPHTP!!!1 YOU MENTION MY NAME!? I DO NOT POST TOO MUCH. HMPH.
