Re: ARENA: betting discussion From: sean@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu (Sean P Larscheidt) Date: Fri, 09 Dec 1994 07:51:32 +0000 It seems as though everyone wants another way to make money other than fighting. this makes sence, i would like more money without the risk too. this wouldn't really be in the 'spirit' of the game, however. the main complaint about money seems to be, as always, a good gladiator gone broke. to scott i propose a solution: what if when broke, rather than retiring your gladiator, you got another chance of sorts. this extra chance dosen't come without a cost though! when your gold reaches zero, give the gladiator 100 gold, BUT the gladiator that gets another chance gets one less in their body attributes of the gladiators choice. this change is PERMANENT and will take effect when you ask for the gold. order suggestion: loan legs speed this order would give a gladiator 100 gold and lower leg speed. to clarify this a bit, the total of all body attributes will no longer have a max of +3 but have a max of +2. This will allow for unlimited loans, but will be detrimental to your character encouraging money management. this method would, however, preserve all aquired weapon skills and techniques. a little good and a little bad, but i think fair. what do you all think... Scott? what do you think? you make the ultimate decision! latter...... sean Referenced By Up
