Imagine if the Zerok community could bet tech unlock points on games.
To prevent spec cheat fixing games, make it so that betters are stuck on spectator chat online.
To prevent smurf farming, we can also make there be a minimum level of 15 or 20 before we can bet points.
I have +10k unlock points sitting around. Im sure some of you have some spare points to bet.

But then... tech unlock points are mostly useless. Once you hit lvl 15 you are going to unlock all modules you will ever need really.

There is no point in betting if the said points have no value in the first place.

Or we could just remove unlock points and auto-unlock chassis and modules with levels. Betting can be done with Kudos. Also make a betting tournament/betting award/betting ladder.

I sense ban hammer approaching

There is no real currency of worth outside of the game, thus there can be no betting.

A metacurrency of worth exists but I'm afraid alien cachet cannot be exchanged through betting.

It sometimes can, but the transactions are nonlinear. E.g. by investing all your accrued inferred alien cachet to support some point or decision that later proves out to be wrong, said cachet will be expended and a fraction of it will land in your opponents' hands. If you win, though, the value will grow, while detractors' one will diminish.

Tech unlock points are useless, so why not have betting to make them symbols of skillful analysis?
+0 / -0

Because that requires complicated infrastructure support for the comparatively worthless feature. It is also backwards from a design perspective: people should be incentivised to play the game, not spectate it.

If you just want status, come to Elerium. Glorious symbol of skillful analysis awaits.

Betting Elos ⇔ Playing the game (without noelo on)

I'm pretty sure that was the joke PLrankFailer was making.

If I could bet unlock points I would. I'm competitive that way.

@_Shaman, I meant reverse betting... You bet 100 elos, ifu lose the game u get +100 elo... Honk again.



Or... we need Poker game implemented in lobby, with which we can play on elo, while waiting for the game to start/end.

We could create a new and completely useless resource used just for betting. We love useless numbers anyway.
