Minecraft's next update, 1.6, will contain a new mob: Horses! Each horse will have its own stats, and their breeding system gives their offspring even higher stats! So, I propose we build a good old-fashioned horse race! I've researched how it all works, so I know how to turn maximum profit! Investors will get dividends of all future profits, and can also help plan out how it is built/will work! The biggest investors will also receive comayorship! We'll need tons of cash for this project, so please pledge below. I won't collect any money until I know if this is possible, but please show support by posting you IGN and how much cash you are willing to invest. This depends, obviously, on horses being allowed to exist in the mainworld. If Andrew doesn't add this, then I won't collect the pledges (Not to imply that pledges are somehow binding). Go to this thread and request a word from Andrew! HOW YOU MAKE MONEY: You will recieve dividends of all profits proportional to your investment size. After the races open, no more investments will be accepted. You will eventually be able to withdraw your investment, but you will not be able to put it back in. Anyone and everyone can invest! Please pledge below! (Minimum 1k please)
That's the point... You post how much you would invest if this grand idea is possible. If it's not? No loss. How much can you afford?
I'm curious about how big a race track would need to be... Apparently when horses get up to speed they can cover ground quite quickly, so I'm wondering whether a normal 200x200 is even big enough. A race track may need to be located in somebody's connected side by side towns, so that there is enough space without the worry of the track being vulnerable to griefing. Also, if players breed their own horses, I wonder how they would get them to the racetrack? Unless TPing while on horseback is possible... but that may run into technical difficulties. I have been told that TPing while on a boat is glitched. I would guess that being on horseback is a similar status to being on a boat. As much I am enthusiastic about horses, I think it's still rather early, and it's hard to tell just how this will all shake out. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I'm just saying that at least for my own self, I want to adopt a "wait and see" attitude.
I will be willing to invest if this could work I will invest an initial 1k but I will invest more nearer the time
I'm currently experimenting in Creative about track sizes. I think a 200x200 will be big enough for a track. We may also consider a public stable if it's difficult to transport horses. How much could you invest if it is possible, nico?
Since it's probably gonna be 2 months until horses are in minecraft and then patched onto ECC, I'm gonna need to wait for now.
Definitely, Though, I don't know how much I'd donate, It depends on my balance. I'd also like there to be the ability to own a horse so that I would make the money if the horse loses. For say: You bet $100 plus a 15% upkeep fee of $15 to bet on a horse. I would take the upkeep fee and the rest would go in the pot
I like this idea and i would invest im just afraid that horses are not going to be allowed on ECC. if they are i would invest alot and maybe even run it with you.
To state again, I won't put this plan into action until Andrew confirms that horses will be allowed in mainworld and excluded from butcher. The amount you're stating you can invest just helps me estimate how much funds will be available. Please go to this thread and give a +1 and a shoutout to andrewkm. (Don't use @)
