Let me give you my idea:

This game will make use of the VCS feature of the forums. Basically, everybody interested in competing on a set date (I'm thinking the upcoming Saturday, the 23rd) will enter and submit a certain amount of Viz. If that person finishes in the top 3 in VCS for that day, they will win a set amount of Viz!

So here's how it's broken down:

1st: 60% of Jackpot
2nd: 30% of Jackpot
3rd: 10% of Jackpot

If someone submitted more Viz then earned via placing in the Top 3 of Saturday's VCS, then they will get all of the Viz they submitted in the Jackpot back + 1000 Viz.

Lemme know what you think about the idea. I can create a separate account for handling the Viz (like the Vcs_bets account).

It could work. But...

Let's say 5 people entered.

A B C D and E

A B C D and E all bet on the same person for any place.

They all bet 1000 Viz.

5000 Viz Jackpot?

Would they all just get their 1000 back? Because that'd be pointless risk.

would they get more viz? Like your 1000 Viz jackpot?

If so, who sends the Viz to these players? Is it you? Seems like you would need a lot of Viz to make this work, or the backing of someone with a ton of Viz to make this a more than once in a long llong time thing.

All in all. I would be behind this. Always looking for a risk

legacyme3 : I think you get like half of my idea

You see, you bet for yourself. So, if you, vizwiz, geeogree, billythekidmonster, yourmajestyken, and 3 other people all bet 1000 Viz on themselves, the Jackpot would be 8000. Therefore:

If vizwiz=1st, he would get 60% of the Jackpot, or 4,800 viz, making a profit of 3,800 Viz.

If you get second, you'd get 30% of the Jackpot, or 2,400 viz, turning a profit of 1,400 Viz.

If geeo gets third he would get 10%, of which would add up to 800 viz, putting my add-on rule into affect. He put in a 1000 viz, and he would get that plus another 1,000 viz, making him get 2,000 viz, turning a profit 1,000 Viz.

the_casualty :

ok, that is much better. I was just concerned with where the Viz was coming from, seeing as the VCS_Bets account has been made for bets on the monthly VCS. And that Viz is doubled if you win.

My only question is if you would be reliable to run this betting system for the one day or so. Usually, this is a job for a moderator, staff, or trusted members I believe. I could be wrong, but it tends to be those members who are in charge of these things.

legacyme3 : (Haha, I'm reverting back to my old ways of sandwiching. I think it's okay in this instance though.)

Probably. But I want my name to be out there as a good person, not a spam bot

In this case, I believe a sandwich is acceptable, as we are trying to come to an understanding on something public.

Well to get known as a good person, don't post 80 posts a day. And don't sandwich or use a ton of crazy house. I don't use it that much anymore to be honest.

Anyway, my one gripe with you running it is just the fact you have not been here that long (same length as me) I'd trust someone of a high ranking to do it though, so maybe we can talk to someone with more power to do this. That way your idea is still known.

It doesn't seem that many people have signed up, but I'll put my name in for today. I'll wager 1,000 Viz on myself.

ARRGHH! I'll get you for this! Just kidding. I've been posting a lot today with the hope that it would be today, but I understand that you didn't get a lot of people. I'll just have to dig in and get practice for next Saturday!

(Sorry for all the sandwich posts, but it's necessary for updates and for summoning)

Yeah, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm gonna summon some people that I think might be interested.

vizwiz123 :
YourMajestyKen :
billythekidmonster :
geeogree :

Would you guys be interested in entering this?

Btw, two more things I want to add:

A. You can bet more then 1,000 Viz. I just used 1,000 in my example.

B. I'll throw in and extra 1,000 Viz (not for myself) to help get this thing started. So, the pool is currently 2,000 Viz.

YourMajestyKen : Here, lemme get a little more detailed:

You're betting on yourself getting the most posts on next Saturday. You can monitor how many posts there have been that day by going to the VCS page on the Control Panel or by following this link: www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard.php
