Title: things to do to amuse yourself
Post by: Deddarus on February 13, 2004, 06:13:09 pm: hi there

having recently discovered that you can give a crystal to someone by typing:

/buddy [recipients name] ruby (or whatevr u wanna give)

i have come up with some amusing pastimes

1. Gambling with dice

agree a pot size (say 1 ruby)
agree on dice settings

player A rolls dice
player B rolls same dice

whoever gets the higher number wins the pot value from the other player

2. hide + seek

Player A hides somewhere then /shouts clues for others to find him

1st player to greet player A recieves a prize

3. Races

a number of players gather together, agree a finnishing point + race to it.... 1st person there wins an agreed amount from other players

(this also rewards players who have explored and found the quickest routes)

4. riddle contest

Player A shouts a riddle

1st player to shout the answer wins a prize from player A

anyways im sure u guys can come up with a few more..should be fun + help to spread the wealth a little

Post by: Moogie on February 13, 2004, 06:21:43 pm: Then of course there\'s a good old fashioned game of Assasins... :]

When I\'m in the server, I regularly play such games, usually giving a few emeralds or diamonds away to the winners. I like hide+seek best, \'cause I know all the little hard-to-reach places and inaccessable areas. :)

So, if you see a Moogie online, stick around... it might be profitable! :D

I was second to reach Moogie last night, the first, Eshin, got a dia! :( Oh well...

Post by: elscouta on February 13, 2004, 09:15:52 pm: Hmm... i think these games must be biased by the amount of lag. I still have so much that i can\'t play at all ;(

Post by: Deddarus on February 13, 2004, 09:43:50 pm: gambling on dice is in no way ping dependent :)

Next time he starts a game from now on, I\'m giving away crystals to the winners ;) Been planning this for a while, but wanted to get a second sabre first. With a second sabre, my life is complete.

Title: Sstorytelling
Post by: Darkmandis on February 25, 2004, 12:33:54 pm: Storytelling can also be a good cash winning game,

The best storyteller wins the cash,

I think you should make this one of your games in AGES deddarus :)

Are you sure that\'s with /buddy give?

Anyway Deddarus, most of that has already been done, but there\'s always room for more people doing it, or new, creative contests, so keep thinking! :)

Post by: Adeli on March 07, 2004, 08:55:27 am: I like the idea of those games, I got my first emerald by winning a game of hide and seek. I believe it was Axsyrus who rewarded me.

I am currently writting a C++ application for Assassin Mods, just a few bugs to work out before I release the beta version (got tired of having to keep track of everything on notepad). I will keep you updated.

Post by: Phosphus on March 08, 2004, 06:34:46 pm: /me thinks back about all the hide and seek games with shadowkahn and karyuu and smiles...

It\'s been a while though...

Be sure to GPL it ;)
Remember, the GPL never hurt anybody, other than Microsoft.
