for the record, I did read all the posts before commenting.

I did only comment on your theory that it would be good for the poor. I still am not convinced. little money or no, they still can loose it, and for the ones that only have little, loosing little is loosing all...

This said I never said I was against your idea entirely.
Therefor I said that it would be nice to have a mini game like someone else suggested. the only thing is...who's going to step up and do the job? ;)

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

How about make it a mini-game. Instead of real-money. You get chips to bid on teams of your choice. Then we'll have a ranking list of who got the most chips as it is with Flagchase.

It is funny to see which team got favored by real players.


Suggestion still stands. It's still fun without the financial issues you guys are arguing about. but i believe this should only be implemented when all other relevant issues in the game are solved. in the meantime i might do something in this nature in the Dutch forums and see how that will work out.

If it's not money you can use in any way, except bragging rights in the top 10. There are no issues.

well I bet normally and I like that because it is not a contest for "chips" only

this is about taste too, while I would like to see betting in here even on your version, however less interresting I think

i agree it's less interesting, but actually bidding with real money you can spend will ruin the game. People will find way to exploit it and then you'll have another problem the BB's need to solve.

Flagchase is just about flags... yet you see a lot of people participating in it. No one really is getting anything out of it, does that make it less interesting? It's just something for fun. Flagchase is not even an official BB feature.

Another example, you'll see a lot of player spending hours upon hours playing arcade poker for fun on the internet. They don't seem to mind playing with virtual money they can collect just to compare with other players.

I thank you for this solution - if there would be any financial issues, "chips" could make things right.. maybe there could be any advacement which you could buy by chips (something like supporter which do not affect a game) - but that's the idea to make this arcade mode more interresting

however still I don't like to see arcade mode, it's my nature, maybe I'm gambler, but I don't like unreal things where you can't lose anything.. anyway that's not a problem now

..problem is to develop this system to be fully automatic, this idea should to come now from anyone

mmm it is pretty easy to make an game like that, with an external web page ... If it just for fun and competition, you need just one admin and one of the tipping webopages to do so :)

Maybe then it's not integrated but the fun should be the same, and you could advertise that in the forum for sure.

Would someone want to start such a thing, I'd ask a BB before beginning with it. I'm not so sure operating other web-sites using the BuzzerBeatername, or other of it's aspects is permitted without their permission...

when someone wants to integrate it in this game however, I don't see anything wrong with it.

normally you could add a tipping round on plattforms like that:

http://kicktipp.de/

You had to add the result and the games manually, but this works and ain't so much work if you like it.

And i'm pretty sure, that it gives a lot plattforms like that, i had played at two others already where i know the gamemaster adds the results manually.
