Had an idea regarding betting / wager system that can be used for PVP arenas, CTF arenas, Spleef arenas or more. Feel free to use the idea, hopefully someone can make a plugin from this mess, it would add a lot more fun to arenas or game nights. - the ability for someone with permission to create a bet/wager - ie. /wager new [id] [min bet] [contestant1] [contestant2] [contestant3] [...]- the ability for people to place a bet/wager - ie. /wager list (to show current active bets/wagers) - ie. /wager info [id] (shows the current rate of return on the winning on each contestant, if placed $1: on contestant 1 and he wins; on contestant 2 and he wins; on contestant 3 and he wins, and so on...) - ie. /wager bet [id] [amount] Configuration: - server configuration that requires a fee to create and/or takes a percentage from the pool - ie. $500 to create a bet -or- 5 times the minimum bet -or- 10% of the total bets goes to system/void- server configuration that allows the person who created the bet/wager to take a profit - ie. 10% of the total bets (minus the system fee) becomes the profit of the creator- server configuration that set a duration on the wage/bet before penalty is active - ie. 1 day from the time a bet/wager is created- server configuration that set a penalty if creator fails to finish the bet/wage - ie. 3 times the supposed creator profit becomes the penalty (system fee non-refundable), and all bets are returned to the people who placed bets Winning: - the bet is finished when creator enters in winner - ie. /wager win [id] [contestant1]- the winning is done by calculating: ( the total bets - system fee - creator profit ) divided by everyone who placed the bet on the winner Server Admin: - betting/wager log that's stored on server with date-time stamp - a function for server admin to force a correction if the creator made a mistake (purposely or accidentally), undo the original winning and calculate the correct -or- new winnings - ie. /wageradmin win [id+timestamp] [contestant2] - new winnings can be done by ( the total bets - system fee + creator penalty ) divided by everyone who placed the bet on the correct winner - a function for server admin to cancel an active bet/wager - ie. /wageradmin cancel [id] Edited.
