You kidding me? I don't want to bet with a stranger. I want to bet with my friend, exchange shit talking, and revel in my victory or cower in defeat!

If I play a stranger there is a high change I will be crushed outright and given no chance at victory at all because everyone playing for betgames is going to be a ridiculous pro.

1. i said the best option would be having a thread like on tl.net with supervisors, for example someone is looking for a game would post on the thread 1v1 game bo3 xx$ or 2v2 teambattle for xx$

2. obviously the random people who have just made an account on april the 7th and spam for games on april the 8th would be banned, thats the purpose of the thread.. to moderate the matchs, the players allowed to play at first would be trustworthy within the community(wed setup a trusted players list or something) after some time more and more players would be allowed to play, wed setup all the matchs on the OP thread, for example player 1 vs player 2 - match cleared and paid etc.,

3.the hack issue is the problem of the players, if your not sure of a player then just dont accept a match against that person, with iccup this most likely wouldnt even be a problem

4.the money thing is again a personal issue, someone might not have the same budget as you have so obviously if your posting to find a game he wouldnt reply to your post, theres going to be a wide range of $ games but we wouldnt setup like 50 cent games

and like i said on the other thread i say we here but if something like this were to happen im not saying that people would have to forcefully put their trust in me with the organisation process, the players could setup their own system with their own organisors to setup the thread and their own payment system

I'd do it for sure. It'd give me an incentive to try harder and actually play properly.

........... IMAGINE if the thread is up, i go on the thread and post 1v1 bo5 30$ msg do you seriously think i wouldnt get 1 reply? of course the person whos going to be posting this isnt going to accept a challenge from like bisu that would just be fucking stupid, youd be accepting challenges from players around your own skill level and if a weaker player wants to play then it would be that players own decision no? and even in situations like this ur usually not even going to be giving even money

and its not like theres going to be 100 people spamming for games, its going to be like a small group of players.. like what 10-20 trustworthy players who would be allowed to play at first to get things started

i seriously doubt that youve never been on op dtr on west, you make it sound like im saying that im trying to discover the cure for cancer or something.. koreans play strangers on west, whats the problem?

dude like i said if someone doesnt have confidence he doesnt need to accept a game against me if im spamming and most of the games would be played on iccup anyways, its the players choice on who he wants to play against or not, and i dont know if youve been around the bw scene but ALL the players know around what skill level people are

anyways man your so fucking negative, all you try to do is just turn things around so you can start some sort of argument, you probably didnt even read my op post because it was too long for you and just looked at the poll and answered yes or no, everything youve said i spoke about on my first post

i'm not being negative, i'm not trying to start an argument, i'm just telling you it's a really bad and stupid idea and more bad will come from it than good.

perhaps you're too naive to understand this but you just CANT trust anyone online except close friends that u trust (in which case u wouldnt need a thread anyways)

try it and see what happens

suddenly you think you're playing someone but it's someone else on their ID and u won't want to pay

then what

i mean on a very small temporary scale the idea is fine....but long run or wide scale, very bad

poor TT1, rekrul totally ruined his 99 IQ plan ROFL

try it tho if u really really really really really really want it, but have to make some strict rule to pay the money.

For example, for Koreans, we do play bet-games with strangers, but only people who are in clan which can verify who the hell you are. So basically if u used [3.33] id for bet games, and didn't pay?? go to 3.33 channel and tell them fuck this kid yo. Then 3.33 will either kick this kid or give warning to him and make him pay the money else pay money themselves.

However, this system won't work well with foreigners

You need an admin panel that isnt dumb as shit to be oversight on the operation. You need an escrow service to hold funds that the players paid to play. Trust is non-existent on the internet. The games probably wont be great either, nothing but cheesey bullshit to make a quick buck.

The best system that involved money and online broodwar was the TSL and in the old wgtour ladder days.

99 IQ is smack dab in the middle of 100% average

Can already see someone go on a streak, do well, get a lot of money, win bigger and bigger games, then lose the biggest bet game and just go AWOL
