@rarity this has piqued my interests
-
@pony I'm sure you are but it's not what you think
-
@pony :p
-
@rarity well I am a little bit curious. Could you have been referring to lolipops?
-
@pony nope, it's a fake betting website where you bet on !MUGEN matches. saltybet.com
-
@rarity what, pray tell, is a mugen match?
-
@pony MUGEN is a PC fighting game that lets you add characters really easily. This guy has like several hundred and does CPU vs CPU.
-
@rarity so how does it determine winning mugen?
-
@pony well, the computers fight, and whoever bet on the winner gets a payout based on the odds.
-
@rarity but what makes for a better computer?
-
@pony well, whichever character is more powerful/has better AI.
-
@pony Whoever makes the character makes the AI and everything, so there's a lot of broken characters. It's all remembering who sucks and who's good.
-
@rarity and those are determined randomly?
-
@pony determined by the creators of the characters
-
@flamingpandaomg oh! Now I'm interested. I think AI creation as a game would be awesome.
-
@rarity I may play this now! Do I get to visually design the character? Can it be a pony?
-
@pony no, it's all based on other peoples..
-
@rarity is it an online game?
-
-
@rarity *facehoof* right you said that already. Thanks!
-
@pony Saltybet is just about the betting. Character creation isn't a part of the process. The guy who runs it also maintains the character list.
-
@redenchilada aw! So it doesn't let me create my own AI and bet on my own characters?
-
@pony Nope.
-
@redenchilada then how are the odds determined? Randomly generated?
-
@pony The MUGEN characters in the game have been randomly downloaded from various places across the internet. Some of the characters are a lot better than others. The site calculates odds (and therefore, winnings) based on how much everyone on the site bets for the match.
-
-
@redenchilada well that's just a game of patience and math then. Neither or which I can spare for a lowly game without other rewards.
-
@pony True. It's decent entertainment for the people interested, though.
-
@redenchilada maybe if there were impressive or cute graphics or humor involved
-
@pony There's plenty of humor in MSPaint vs. Robo Giga Waifu though
-
@redenchilada hah! That name. Is that another betting game? Online?
-
@pony I'm saying that's one of the potential kinds of matchups you get on saltybet
-
@redenchilada lol I see
-
@redenchilada one of the funniest games I've played didn't require players to do anything unless they wanted to. Godville. http://godvillegame.com/
