The Rules Of Dice!
« on: June 10, 2012, 01:31 PM »
After playing dice with a few members of the alliance whilst waiting for WZ's today and loosing about 10k credits I have decided to lay down some rules.


1. There are three levels of play, Low Stake, Medium Stake (All following values x10) and High Stake (All following values x100)

2. Once the party is together each player uses the /roll function once per round

3. The person with the highest roll value wins

4. The losing players must pay the winning player at the end of each round according to the following amounts

5. First round, 25 credits per player. Each following round add another 25 credits

6. The game is over once one player has lost 250 credits or more (players winnings - players losses)

7. People must keep track of how much they have won or lost to prevent the game getting out of control

8. In the extremely unlikely event of more than one person rolling the same highest number they must simply roll again


Don'd know about the other people who were playing but I found it great fun, even if I did lose :P

Was fun yes. A good way to pass time when in long queues for warzones. What I would say is set a maximum amount each player can play with. E.g. 10k credits. This way the game won't get out of control as once the player has lost that, they can no longer participate, meaning end of game.

That is what rule 6 is for. I felt it was better to end the whole game after one person lost the set amount so that it did not carry on until you only had one winner.

I would like to lower Rule 6 however to 250 credits still multiplying with the low, medium and high stake games. I did a little maths and this way the game is guaranteed to last a minimum of 4 rounds and a maximum of 10. That means a game can finish quite quickly allowing players to join in again if people want to play more than one game. I will edit this in the top post.

In my head this all works out to be a very fair and fun way of playing it however if anyone can see any major flaws please let me know :) I cant wait to play it.

I did think that when I was making this post Master Narretas. I have done a bit of reading and the only reason for Jedi not gambling is because they can cheat too easily. I would hope with all of us being Jedi we will all play fair. If you do not agree with this however I will move it to the random section of the forum for use whilst not role playing :)

I do not know what the Council thinks of this, but if you ask me, this is not something we should allow our Jedi to do.

Let's see what the Council thinks.

It's definately not in an Jedi' nature to gamble, as it is usually for self gain or greed, the willingness to take the risk to gain more. It can be a very emotion and additive driven form of entertainment, that Jedi would usually stay clear from - especially in RP terms.
