[quote=@Mahz] Under your scheme, the only purpose a wager seems to serve is the possibility to lose it if you lose the fight. There's no upside that I can see. User3 wagers 333, wins, and just gets their wager back. They might as well wager 0, no? I think a classic wager system would be cool where the winners have some claim on the losers' wagers. I'll see if my more mathematical friend can help me come up with the math when he has free time. Either way, I'm done touching the core Arena system for now aside from various things like bugfixes, tweaks, and improving the UI. It's time for me to move on to other issues. [/quote] Well, as far as I can tell (and this is how the system works) User 3 actually receives 433 points in that example for winning, and the loser of that fight loses 333 points. That's a net gain of 333 points (the agreed wager) for the winner on top of the usual winning bonus of 100 points. The points are gained or lost at the end, the amount extra being gained or lost is decided upon before the fight but not deducted or added until the end of it. On the flipside, I'm not sure how I feel about wagers in general anymore, as the leaderboard is supposed to be an award for skill, where-as one person could easily bet 500 points right now and lose and the winner of the fight would get a cool 1600 points, making them the new King of the Arena, I'm not sure that would necessarily be representative of their skill.
