List of changes to consider by Commie

Things to consider

  • Seperate the logic of actual betting from the gamecode as much as possible. So it is trivial to add support for betting for other mods, like Aftershock.

  • Remove 1000 free OAC. Make the only way to gain OAC by playing the game. That way people can't generate new qkeys to bet against themselves and gain free money. With time, the amount of coins in circulation will increase anyways.

    But it is probably good to keep it, for testing purposes. But when beta-testing is done, reset every coin earned, and start from 0 without free OAC.

  • Store the amount of coins in some data-base that can be shared between servers. This way you could run a CASUAL server without actual betting, but players who play there still get money which can be used to bet. People also mostly start out on CASUAL servers, so they will probably have accumulated some money before they find out betting is even a thing. This should remove the need for 1000 free OAC.

  • Make it possible to have a coefficient on the amount of money people gain on various servers. So playing on a more CASUAL server (with different game mechanics like free-RJ), rewards less coins for the same score compared to other more competitive servers.

  • Punish people who disconnect, without reconnecting, so they loose OAC. To prevent sabotage. This seems especially important if you keep the behavior where bets get cancelled when someone disconnects. Maybe even have the punishment be proportional to the stake of the game, and use this money to repay people who bet on the side where the player left.

  • Sometimes people disconnect because their internet goes down, or laptop runs out of battery. Don't cancel the match immediately. Give them some time to reconnect. Maybe pause the match, for one minute, and cancel if the player has not reconnected in that time.

  • When the match is over. Give the players on the winning side a percentage of the coins used to bet on the match. This way, they will probably take the match more seriously

  • Maybe make it possible for players to give away and trade coins? But this creates more opporunities for match-fixing. But it should be considered. Note that in theory people would still be able to give away coins by starting matches and loosing on purpose.
