Well dont you think it will be interesting to replace the oldschool dueling with some russian hardcore game of luck?

This will be a game where the power of your gun wont matter.For example,you are a Wise Guy who is being bullied around by a Capo.You will stand no chance to defeat him in a duel or to wack him(and even if you succed will already have broken all the rules and will die anyways)

So here is your chance.A joint in which everything is based on luck.A game which the Lucky guy will win and the other one no matter the Rank or the weapon will die.

Also a nice addition will be-The winner takes all the ingame money of the defeated.He will not need it anymore....

i like this idea ive always thought a duel should be a even playing field just like a true duel

if you have a max shooting range gun than your gun is a +1 gun if you dont have a max shooting range gun than you have a percentage towards a +1 like if you have 8 more ranges to go than you have a .60 gun or whatever and can only duel those without +1 guns or basically choose to fail the duel with a +1 gun holder

I disagree with you on the matched guns TripleDeuce, however, I think that all other things should be equal. A duel is typically a thing of honour, one man's gun against another's. If you believe the other guy's gun is far superior to yours, then you would refuse the duel and loose face, as it should be. However, as its a kind of honourable fight, there should be no BGs, no city/district/HQ advantages. Just one on one.

The idea of a guy standing in the street, 20 paces from another guy, and that other guy is surrounded by 200 BGs always struck me as kind of stupid.

Well guys I appreciate your responses,but what I meant has nothing to do with duels.It is basically a game of chance and the gun's power has nothing to do with it.The point is that everybody could win no matter the ranks,the BGs or the guns.It will be fun and in some cases even more fair than the duels.

I can see exactly what you are aiming at Henry, I was merely addressing TripleDeuce's post.

If people really want to risk their character's life for money, I'm sure Admin would be happy to code it in. Depends on the exact rules you are looking for though. If its a single spin and shoot, then you are looking at a 1 in 6 chance of dying, or a 5/6 chance of surviving. The payout on something like that would be low, like 6 to 1 on, so you bet $120 and get $140 back. Where it would become more of a game is if you pick how many attempts you will go for. For instance, I choose 3 pulls of the trigger. Then your odds of dying are 1 in 6 followed by 1 in 5 followed by 1 in 4. Odds are kinda stacked more against you here, and the odds offered against your bet would be higher.

As you are suggesting that you play against another player, I don't see how much this would actually be used. For instance, if you spin first, you have a higher chance of survival than the guy who goes second. What's the benefit of playing? If its straight bet vs bet, kinda like $10k bet each (or 100k or a million whatever), would people be willing to play knowing there is at least a 50/50 chance of them dying?

The only way I see it working is its something you do, and you do alone. Risk your own life against the bank. If you allow the gun chamber to be re-spun before every shot, then you could have people betting on surviving 5 shots plus, with a pretty big payout against their bet if they survive.
