currently we are not official (seeing as i set it up bout an hour ago and so far we have 2 members and no website.... im working on gettin all that sorted)
Name: Academy of Gambling and Entertainment Services
Aim: To provide events and competitions facilitating the re-distribution of wealth (ie gambling) and to provide entertainment
Current offerings:
simple dice : highest number wins
Pay-the-difference : prize is multiplied by the difference between winning and loosing dice rolls (be warned you can loose as big as you can win)
complex dice
blackjack
eye-spy (pay per guess - large prizes)
Riddle (pay per guess - large prizes)
hide + seek (pay per play - large prizes)
Forthcoming events:
In the future i hope (with the increased functionality of the server) to introduce events such as:
animal fights
gladiator fights
mage fights
racing
chase the lady
etc
Positions within guild:
We currently need players with a fair size collection of crystals in case of high wins, it will be up to individual members to decide the odds of their games to ensure their own crystal supply
Future positions:
In the future we hope to have a guild treasury, this will require full-time \'Financiers\' to gather additional wealth for the pot
additionally we will need:
security personnel
animal trainers
bookies
Strategists
gladiators
smiths
healers
and possibly builders to construct suitable arenas
Please note we only require honest people (no thieves) to ensure both the safety of our treasury and the reputation of the guild
hope that tells u everything u need to know... and if u fancy a flutter... look us up :)

Good luck with the new guild, Deddarus. Hopefully you can bring us some entertainment in the days and years to come.
Just a note, though; racing certainly is possible today, and there have already been several race competitions.
-
yes.. i have heard that but with the emphasis on fair gambling im holding off on taking bets on such events until the lag is reduced a bit
btw if anyone has any ideas that they would like me to consider then send em my way... i like to keep my punters happy :)
-
Hey, Deddarus! Great guild idea! I\'ll probably be using your services once or twice.
-
thanx :) ...hopefully soon ill get a few more members so it wont be so hard to find us :)
-
Ah, brilliant. U have my full support with this one. :D
-
Gambling is evil ;) Unless you can use magic to change dice result, in that case it\'s good :P
More seriously, i wish you to succeed and prosper, your guild has very interesting and original goals.

ok.. to make my life easier im gonna explain all the games we currently run:
Simple dice:
(2 players)
a bet is agreed
both players roll 1 6-sided dice each
highest number wins the agreed bet from the other player
Pay the difference:
(2 players)
a bet is agreed
both players roll 1 6-sided dice each
the player with the highest number wins
the winning player recieves (winning number - loosing number)*bet amount from the other player
complex dice:
(2 players)
a bet size is agreed
player A states higher or lower
player B rolls an 11 sided dice
prize = bet size * number higher/lower than 6 (depending on what player A stated)
eg..
player A bets 2 rubies lower
roll = 2
player A wins (6-2) * 2 rubies = 8 rubies
player A bets 1 ruby higher
roll = 10
player A wins (10 - 6)*1 ruby = 4 rubies
player A bets 5 rubies higher
roll = 4
player A looses (6-4)*5 rubies = 10 rubies
Blackjack:
(2 players)
im gonna assume u know how to play blackjack irl
to draw a card u roll a 10-sided dice
due to no suits 5 card trick does not apply
for simplicity 1=1 and never = 11
when playing against an AGES guild member the guild member will always draw 2nd (dealers advantage)
-
if 1=1 and never 11, then it is impossible to get an actual blacjack. you have to always have at least 3 \"cards\" to get 21.
-
and yer point is.... its called balckjack cos it is LOOSELY based on it.... basically i took out the ace rule cos i couldnt be arsed to explain it to everyone (u wouldnt believe the amount of ppl who dont know how to play blackjack irl)
however if a \'punter\' likes the rule they can ask to play with it in effect
still a valid game without it
EDIT: additionally unlike with RL blackjack u arent dealt 2 cards to start with... tho i could, again if ppl wish, make it a rule that the 1st roll is 2 *10 sided dice
-
look foward to the up + coming webpage @ http://www.jehoel.i6networks.com/ages/
currently its very much like PS .... early in its development and there aint too much there :P
but anaerobi is workin on it
oh yeah... big thanx to jehoel for the host (he isnt in the guild... hes just a very very kind man.... and a good customer)
-
nice idea, nice site... its my pleasure to be a part of it in any small way that I can.
-
new game:
Tombola
Cost to play = 1r
a 200 sided dice is rolled
numbers ending in 0 are winning numbers
the prize is the first 2 digits added togther in rubies
eg..
player rolls 170
player wins 1+7 = 8 r
player rolls 20
player wins 2 r
player rolls 199
player wins nothing
info:
chance of winning = 1 in 10
maximum prize = 10r (or 10 * entry fee)
this game gives a chance of winning big whilst only putting up a small stake :)
-
Hey yall :D Just joined Ages recently I look forward to holding some small events but first i need to raise funds and learn to play a few of them :D

Sounds good, but I wouldn\'t tell the owners of the \"casino\" that last bit ;)
BTW, this organised gambling idea is great. You don\'t have to be a member of the guild to play I take it? It\'s just your guild deals with all the \"bookkeeping\", right? :) I look forward to the day when I can walk into the AGES casino :) Good luck guys.
P.S. From what I\'ve seen of the site it\'s looking like a good start, but that text box was a bit small for my liking. Just thought I\'d comment :)
-
Aye, I think it was targetted mainly for 1024x768 resolution, which is acceptable as it is probably the most commonly used resolution.
But I use 1152 x 864 and it does seem a bit small.

Thats anaerobi\'s department (hes doing the whole webpage himself.. says he prefers to work alone)... talk to him bout it
By the way ppl.... AGES is recruiting currently so if u r interested come find me ingame (or email on guildmaster@agesguild.tk - tho i havent tested that email yet.. but i assume it works)
-
GLADIATOR BATTLES! I LIKE!!! COUNT ON MY DWARF BUTT BEING IN ON THAT ACTION! *starts looking for someone to hire him as their gladiator* hehe this guild is a good idea *wonders why he didnt think of this instead of his plain guild tha the can no longer remember the name of...*
-
I REALLY wanna get the guild to the point where i can go official
i have the webpage and forums (cyrandir send me yer email address so i can set up yer account goddamit!)
all i need is the 10 members requirement fullfilled..
so far there is me, 3 members (1 of which is innactive), 1 player saying he will join when he can quit his current guild and 1 maybe
I NEED MORE MEMBERS!!!
ive had a lot of positive feedback concerning the concept of the guild... but applicants are still too rare
so... basically... any of u guys wanna join PM me... anyone hear of someone looking for a guild tell em to PM me....
i know at the moment i cant offer much to members...i will (as far as i am able) support my members financially... additionally as the guild reputation spreads (something that would be aided no end by becoming official) being a member offers you the ability to back up your trustworthyness if u currently enjoy gambling.... also you will benefit from the information concerning customer gambling habbits/likelihood of not paying debts etc that our members have gathered
the guild is very laid back.... i dont really ask anything from the members except that they be fair in their gambling and dont give the guild a bad name.... any profits you make will be yours to keep (in future i plan to have a guild treasury from which you can reclaim your gambling losses and when that is in place i will ask that a percentage of your profits be put back into it but we will also have ppl dedicated to topping that up... and it aint in place yet)
i also plan in future to have a storeroom and larder for use by guild members (items on loan.. no cost... food + perishables completely free)
thus as a member you will recieve the bonus of the guilds reputation and wealth, use of its items, free perishables and you will be able to use the guilds funds to make profit for yourself with minimal risk in the case of an unprofitable gamble
i dont think i can say fairer than that...can i?
anyways.. *realises hes ranting*... if that sounds good to you PM ME AND APPLY TO JOIN!!!!!!!
EDIT: forgot to say.. you can also apply to join by emailing me at join@agesguild.tk
any queries send em to guildmaster@agesguild.tk or reply to this topic :)

Good Guild, Nice goals, good entertainment, original concept........
YES I like your guild
Take care
