..of some type, like the ability to wager on DA challenges, or events.  

AH takes a % of the winnings, and the ego maniacs get to put thir $$ where thier mouth is.

I think we should be able to gamble perks in a duel...But its a doube-edged sword...Who's to say a squaddie with 15,000 fighter perks wont just go in with another squaddie, and die right away to give away 1,000 perks....There would have to be a moderator, and that simply will not happen

Why would you want to bet?  It's not like you have any chance of collecting the winnings...

Idea might sound strange but maybe it would be a way of getting in more players and increase some of the flying skills around here.


Organise a big tournament once a month  $5 entry fee  get 100 guys in  top prize wins $$$   HT takes  a cut......

Format of tournament debatable,  Maybe a 6 player squad battle.

Might force people to up their game to compete for something a little more worthwhile.....  

I'm sure we can also sell films of the finals for extra $$$    

Get some sponsorship deals running and be a pro AH player :cool:

Flame on.

Well lusche  we would have to outline a rule book and have hosts in place within the tournament arena to monitor chat logs to keep it clean.

I guess if people tried to lag through poor connections they wouldnt be allowed to particpate.


Also making it squad vs squad fights would reduce the chances of cheating from one indivadual...

Yeah perks aren't hard to come by and some of us have tens of thousands of them that we never use.  Well, they are you perkies right?  Why shouldn't you be able to give them to a friend or squaddy?  There have been many times i'd wish I could donate some perkies to a newer squaddy or just one who likes the perk rides a little too much.  Hell I don't use em, i'd rather let someone else blow through them then have 'em sit stagnant.

Nirvana, I agree, I have more perks then I know what to do with...I'd be happy to give them out to a squady, or even a newb who wants to try out a jet, but I just dont think the community would go for it

No need for money or gambling, just agree that each party shall post the film on these here bulletin boards after the match, if ego protection/destruction is what you're after.

I personally wouldn't think you've spent much time in the DA, though, if you think that is what it's about...

Or, we could trade perkies for l33t itemz. Then we could say:

I'm sure many would like the "Boots of Extending +1".

Last time I checked, Gambling was illegal in Texas and I believe online for that matter.
