What're the chances of geting a poker table set up in the "o'club" for gambling perks? :)
-
Ohhhh, what I wouldn't give....
-
That would be so cool if we could trade perks, but that would cause a whole new set of problems for those who don't like to "Pay up". We would need to hire an "Enforcer"...lol.

That would be kewl and or how about a dueling mode to make dueling more interesting.
-
genius
-
I love it.
That would be awsome!
-
I would love to have a dueling game setup where you could bet perks on the winner and challenge others to fight in duels for so many perk points whoever wins gets the set perk prize aand whoever looses looses the set number of perks.
would make it interesting.
-
lol, best idea ever
-
something simple...possible flash type game with a channel 1:) for smack talking :) Whenevever you need to "step away from the plane"
-
The perk point dueling tourney sounds cool. Sounds like a lot of work for Ronnie or whoever would have to update the perk database tables.
-
It would be cool, but I think it would be a legal matter.
-
I was thinking about something along these lines for ToD, if there's a long wait between missions.

-
legal matter?
sounds like a .3 treble hook to me
-
Sorry Waffle, I work in a Max prison and I've seen many, many things happen over a simple debt.
-
Perk point Balance: 0
no debts to pay / collect....just more spit1's to fly when your'e outnumbered :)
-
I would very much like it but some people don't know how to act.

What we have here is failure to communicate. That's the way he wants it, so that's the way he get's it. I don't like it anymore then you do.

Brilliant!

It'll be a good way for me to "transfer" perk points to more needy squadmates or friends.

I think BOTH! Gambling for perks and Dueling for perks would be awsome.
Although there goes the realism, lol
Would be fun though :aok
-
I'm ALL IN.
-
Shuffle the **** up and deal!
-
If I was HTC I would want proof that I could not be held responsible for anything that may happen because of the transfer of perk points. Waffle has a very good idea and I would do it if I was HTC. It would put a whole new game in our new game...lol. Any lawyers out there to give us real information on that aspect? I'm being serious, I think many of us would like that.
-
wtf? lol, if they don't want to lose the perks they simply don't play (or duel)
-
Some people are stupid, they want to play but they don't want to pay. I've seen guys get gangraped over a $5 debt. I was 10 feet from a guy who got shanked because he owed a can of tuna. People can get very stupid over these kind of things. That is my concern.
-
I'm well aware of what you're talking about Xargos - indeed in my country. the "weird wired world" as Times magazine puts it, many of the population is hooked to internet provided gambling which doesn't even use real money, and use only game money.
Now it's cut out to be a social problem because youngsters pay real money to buy game money - and people being so sensitive and addictive to such gambling game became a problem.
However, I don't expect it to be a such a large threat in AH. Luckily most of the gamers of AH are more or less adults, and hopefully they have more brains than to waste real money to buy 'perk money'.
Also, some measures may be taken by the staff to limit it - like perhaps a total limit of earnings or losses set by Perk Poker.
Also, making it more than just a gambling den, perhaps a place where people can transfer limited amount of perks to their squaddies, or exchange bomber perks to fighter perks and etc.. might stay people from turning AH2 into Vegas.
-
Kweassa, that's the kind of feedback we need. I realy want to be able to transfer perks, but I guess I'm being to paranoid.
-
Maybe I could bet my sister or something when I run out of perks?
Poker for perks is seriously one of the best ideas ever!
-
Maybe one of the map makers can put some nudie posters in there also.
-
What do you think about this? When you go to Dueling arena you click on Roster, then you click the persons name, then click Challenge. A new clipboard will appear and has a list of the amount of perk points to bet, type of plane, fields to take off from, fuel load, weapons load, etc. Then you click send and that person will get the list, he either clicks accept or decline. If he accepts both planes will launch at same time and no other planes will be able to take off from those fields until duel is over. Perks will automatically go to winner once they land. That way you can tell people to put their perks were their mouth is.

lol why stop at poker, you could have a whole bunch of flash games in the o'club, darts, pool, other card games, the sorta thing you woulda found in a club on an airbase. They don't have to be for perks, just for the fun of it.

Why stop there? It would he AWESOME if you could walk into the O-club, sit down at a "computer" and play a flight sim!

We actually talked about this very thing last year. It'd be fun and maybe one day it will happen, but it's hard to imagine it ever getting scheduled for development. Maybe we'll see it one day if HT gets bored and is looking for something fun to do on weekends.

THAT'S it! If you don't pay up, I'll shoot you in the main arena! Oh, wait. Killshooter. Ok, I'll say evil things about your mother on channel 1. Oh, wait, no channel 1. Um. I'll hold my breath 'till I turn blue!!!
I think comparing perk points in an online game to events happening in your world might be a stretch... :rolleyes:
-
would be cool till they said no wild cards.....that would kinda suck
-
PUCK, I think you misunderstood what I was tring to say. I'm not saying people are going to hunt others down in RL. What I meant was the mentality of people are the same reguardless of were you are. There is alot of conflict between some players as is and it's not good for the AH community. My fear is that more conflicts could occur. I was being overly dramatic on purpose to make a point. But I also feel that most players in AH are mature enough that the bad attitude would not be that wide spread. I find from my experience that most of these kinds of behaviour come from the youthful offenders.
-
Oh, I dunno, Xargos. I've seen some older idiots in my day.
If te system was set up right we could redirect all whining to /dev/null and ignore the whiners. Come to think of it, we could give the whiners their own BBS group so we could entertain ourselves at their expense.
"No, silly, I wasn't laughing WITH you, I was laughing AT you..."
-
I hope HT does get bored one weekend and implements this.
-
I hope they get bored THIS weekend and implement this.
-
Yea, have it ready before I get my computer updated. That would be too cool.:D
-
hehe - give some folks something to do while waiting out the patches :)
-
I can't wait till I can shank Xargos over Aces and 8's. :D
-
rpm, you wouldn't be the first one to have TRIED...lol.:lol
-
MAN, I can't wait to get my computer updated. I miss AH so much.:(
-
Yeah.. this weekend seems like a nice weekend to impliment this... :D :D :D
-
Sounds great, HT IMPLEMENT POKER ASAP
-
Ya, but it was chicken of the sea ALBACORE!! plus the guy with the shank obviously had the opener:)

But Pyro... all we need is a dot command like... let's say... ".transferperks xxx CPID" for xxx perk point transfer. It's not perfect and there are short comings like people will not pay up or betting without having enough perk points... but, I think the community is mature enough to govern itself on this matter... we might want a forum to post these types of bets though... before they happen :D
-
Another idea. When two pilots wish to duel they hire a third person (a judge) and transfer the perks to him. The Judge can fly high above the duelers and make sure no one cheats or no one else interfers with the duel. Then the Judge would transfer perks to the winner. That would eliminate my main concern.
-
Pyro, if someone deals with the graphics, I'd do the programming, I'm sure small games like that wouldn't take much to make.
