3 years ago The trivia idea is pretty cool. And probably the easiest to implement at the moment - mainly cos we can use some of the existing infrastructure to make it work :joy: the biggest issue would be finding a source of trivia questions - either we need to maintain a big list (and update it regularly) or find an online source that's easily parse-able.
This is obviously just ideas for the future and we should focus on core stuff first - but i've been wondering about what other things we could do with Eddies.
Would be totally fine if we decided to just stick to regular bets as well, but like I say just had some ideas for some other games or Discord things we could do. Some of them may be more or less possible (we may be able to borrow code from other Discord bots maybe?), and would really like any other suggestions from other people!
Just been trying to think of some things that would generate some big hype moments or be generally fun. Would want to keep them simple - not really complicated mechanics just a cool way to make the discord fun and hopefully tie into contextual moments - like if you're having an argument with someone you can then... put your eddies where your mouth is.
A few ideas from me:
Trivia Just like the current bets but with a trivia question. You could either pay a set number of eddies to vote on which answer you think is right, or we could use the current system so you 'bet' as many eddies depending on how confident you are.
Randomised betting We could include some casino-style bets on random outcomes. We could frame this around standard casino games like Blackjack, roulette, etc. etc. or just make them completely random.
Russian roulette I feel like Russian roulette would be a cool hype moment. You could bet eddies (maybe make it a set amount to make it more hype, e.g. it has to be over 50 or something, or maybe we just make it ) - and there's a 1 in 6 chance of losing it all - if you make it it doubles. I dunno exactly - maybe we should make it so you have to bet ALL your eddies? Or we could do it as certain number of draws with it doubling each time. If you bet 20 eddies on 6 draws but make it through them all you'd get fucking loads of eddies back? We could look at balance later but it would be a cool thing I think.
Some kind of 1v1 bluffing game? I also think it would be cool to introduce like head to head type bluffing games or something? Not sure how these would work but it would be cool to have some kind of way in which you could "challenge" people to bluff eddies? Maybe Prisoner's Dilemma type thing?
