Being a big fan of Making Games Even More Interesting, the first thing that came into my head when I read your description of this betting system was: “Can you trade and/or give away hours owed to you?”
If so, this could be used in at least a couple of different ways:
Trading hours:
Cyn owns 2 hours of Liz’s time.
Anne owns 1 hour of Amy’s time and 1 hour of Liz’s time.
Anne decides that she’d particularly enjoy owning Liz. She gives Cyn her hour of Amy’s time in exchange for one of Cyn’s hours of Liz’s time. Now Cyn has 1 hour of Amy’s time and 1 hour of Liz’s time, and Anne has 2 hours of Liz’s time.Ransom:
Cyn owns 2 hours of Liz’s time.
Anne owns 2 hours of Cyn’s time.
Cyn gives her 2 hours of Liz’s time to Anne in exchange for the 2 hours of Cyn’s time that Anne had. Now Anne owns two hours of Liz’s time instead of 2 hours of Cyn’s time, and Cyn is free of her debt to Anne.
We started using this system right away. Poor Liz made the mistake of grumbling that she wasn’t too happy with the example Nicky used, where Anne tries to buy all the “Liz hours” she can. Well of course mentioning something like that is always a big mistake around here! Anne decided it would be hilarious if she did try to buy all the “Liz hours” she could. And naturally the others think it’s hilarious to go along with that, to watch Liz squirm!
Here are the scores so far (after a lot of matches and a lot of “trading hours”):
Anne owes 2 hours to Mistress Amy.
Cyn owes 3 hours to Mistress Amy and 2 hours to Anne.
Liz owes 9 hours to Anne.
More updates soon!
