So I'm pretty sure when most of you die you leave the game Immediately. To make the game more entertaining for those watching, a betting system should be implemented, where you bet on the player who you think is going to win. Yes, your probably thinking this could easily be abused by spectators placing bets in the last minute on someone who is obviously going to win. To prevent this, you can't place a bet when there is 12 players or under so there is still time for the game to play out and there isn't an obvious winner, so it's a risk you have to take.

Hmmm.....maybe, but still, with this implemented, people will still leave after they die. I don't get why people care about points so much, their only use is sponsoring.

Interesting idea... whenever tomahawk joins a game, I would bet all my points on him :p

This is something that's been talked about for a while, ever since bountying was first introduced way back around last summer. Personally, I think it's a pretty good idea.

It seems like an interesting idea, but no one spectates games that have 12 players left except friends of survivors. I say reduce it to 6, 8 at best. That way you still aren't completely sure who will win, but it's also not completely random.
