New Opt out betting for hale

[icos]

Currently betting is opt in for hale: to bet they have to consciously type /bet. However, this results in hale not betting most of the time, leaving the betting mechanic very unbalanced, with most bets not matched on the blu side, leaving reds frustrated.
The idea is to make the hale bet automatically the amount that was bet on the red unless hale explicitly types /bet cancel or /bet [other amount] before the bets close. This will result in most rounds with active interesting and balanced bets on both sides most of the time.

We could also add an option to disable opt-out betting in the settings, similarly to how players can choose not to become hale. However, the idea is to make betting the default.

I'm not too sure if that will end up well tbf.

Or you could just not bet at all then as Hale.

This is a terrible idea, lmao. If the activator is AFK and they haven't returned by the time the round is over and they lose, they can lose a lot of credits just because of that. I guess a setting to not be automatically opted into betting would make this somewhat ok, but even then, I'm sure not many people will know about the setting to begin with (just like disabling being the activator) and will still end up losing credits for no reason.

we have an option for that

"Don't select me as activator" in /drsettings



EDIT: nvm wait, i read that poorly! How do i delete this!

Personally, I'd be fine with this if it was just the min bet of 100 credits but others have pointed out that it could also be a issue depending on the amount auto bet by default.
