My Idea for Steemit Pong , Poker,Blackjack, or a Steem MUDD Text based RPG! For Steemit Poker or Blackjack Users could send steem or SBD to a Game Master account, play a game for keeps, winner gets sent steem via game master account!
Steemit is RIPE for a text based RPG, a MUDD or even a simple PONG type game if we ca get some flash or javascript into a steemiit post....or link through an external website that allows you to see the game masters STEEM wallet, along with who just sent im the steem..that steem you send to the game master will then sit there in that account until someone wins a d the game master then pays out the winner of the game! Wither Poker, Black Jack,
ill see what money we can raise to pay programmers to develop new stuff for us like a mini PONG Poker or Blackjack game that can allow two steemit users can play against each other for STEEM that they both load into the game and whoever wins gets the steem/SBD!
This can work for any card game, or any text based RPG!
Someone can just create a STEEMITPOKER account OR use the @steemitEscrow account I setup for exactly these purposes...and I will be totally willing to give access to that steemit escrow account to one of the main admins everyone trusts...i am not trying to scam anyone but I can see way it may appear that way with a random account offering to be a third party escrow service.
By sticking to a a card game like poker or blackjack, we can make it simple! And for people who want to make it a real time java script based Pong game that will require some money to pay some developers, unless we can find a way to setup a working pong game inside a steemit post! I would love to know why that is not possible and what would have to be doe to allow for things like a real time chat box for instance (not like the existing steemit chat, but a way for people in a post to chat in a box embedded into a comment or post....I am guessing that since we cant even do html code we probably cant do javascript multiplayer game code...or maybe i am wrong...I am talking about something as basic as the 20 year old yahoo Games or Excite.com where you could play online games with people over old ass web browsers...so if they can do it back then we should be able to do it here even within our blocckchain limitations!
Look at what people could do in the 1980s with MUDD online RPGs! Even if we just have text, thats no excuse!
(Look at that map! I mean we have images now! we can even use like an imgur GIF link that we can update or something, to have it change)
or at LEASt link through a third party website that can still allow people to use their steemit accounts and send or receive steem maybe thorough a third party that just watches the game , sees who wins and then just manually sends the steem over steemit to the winner of the game played over on a third party website.
a Steemit PONG or Poker or Blackjack or MUDD dungeon game account where you and your opponent both send this account the same amount of steem, and then you initiate a game, and the whoever wins gets the game master account to send them the winnings.
(Look at this old MUDD rpg game! all text! look the EXP and Magic points!!! We can use our reputation or our steempower as XP! LOL steempower as health what a dream come true..when i told my friends 11 year old daughter that through mobilego and game credits and crypto currency in game she will be able to actually make money playing videogames....kids with the highest scores in game will actually have a monetary value, and the in game economies will prove to the kids that no its not all fake money, if you can make an in game company and earn money, you are creating value to someone, wow thats just a WHOLE nother story! Imagine mining inside a videogame! like allowing your character in Star citizen to fuckin chill and play some old 8 bit game that allows the computer to use most of the cpu and gpu for mining crypto currencies while your character is doing something that can still be fun but doesnt take up much processing power for your computer, and youll be able to mine real crypto currency but IN GAME and you can even have like mining rigs IN the game that actually allow you to actually mine, which will be virtual, but a way for you to actually use the collective power of the gaming PCs all connected to the game servers...wow and imagine a blockchain online video game server that can never go down
This whole thing reminds me of this cross walk Pong installation someone made in Germany where it allows both people waiting to cross to play a game of PONg with each other while waiting for the light to change! It can make the crosswalk safer by letting people ave something to do while waiting so they dont J walk!
I believe we could create a PONG style game within a steemit post.....
we could even stick to test based games.....we could have a STEEMIt MUDD
What is a MUD?
From Google and Wikipedia "A MUD (/ˈmʌd/; originally Multi-User Dungeon, with later variants Multi-User Dimension and Multi-User Domain), is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based. MUDs combine elements of role-playing games, hack and slash, player versus player, interactive fiction, and online chat."
Imagine if we used steempower as experience points! Or health points!
I could totally see a great RPG type game being played through the comments
People used to play these games back in the early days of BBS!
here is my article about early 1980s message boards and teh first online chat from Compuserve in 1980!

VERY interesting artice I wrote as I was learning about the history of internet chat! Online chat programs and BBS and message boards are older than the world wide web! The "internet" has been around alot longer than we think!
here is an example of an early text based game! if THEY can do it back ten WE can do it here!
See this 1980 compuserve magazine ad about early chat rooms?
And here is an example of an existing steemit RPG by @swolesome check out his blog for the NEW game that I believe is still going on, or they have a new one everytime the old one ends! Its free to play i believe because he makes so much of fthe post! LOL Its self sustaining!

@swolesome is on to something BIG here! lets incorporate the MUDD stuff and also take advantage of our use of images and video! we can create a bunch of videos with like PATHS like MYST! we can make like Doors and each youtube embeded video is a DOOR you can open!this could be huge! and SO much fun to play a steemit RPG where you can WIN REAL MONEY and i cant WAIT until someone uses my steem to money service OR untill everyone ELSE has a BTC atm and a poloniex account or bittrexx or whatever exchange to simply exchange steem for money...when coinbase adds steem that will be huge too...people will be able to sell steem for cash at two percent and send right to bank account! But until then I will provide steem to cash service with my local bitcoin ATM and my poloniex account,and ill show people how to do that, and soon altcoin atms and my site localaltcoins.co when i have it up and running will help this,a nd people will come to stemit from FAR and wide to try and earn some cash! and by then steem will be seen as more common than bitcoin! people will like steem and see it as separate from bitcoin! steem will be seen as safer faster and cheaper than bitcoin to the MASSES! Theyre already talking about steeit on my local KOGO radio station!
