Points

[Lvl 75 Def]

i support, as it's not actually a currency imo.

 

[AmitZ]

This is a incentive for the sites activity. Support m8.

From DNS list, doubt it's gonna happen.

This is not a sythe currency. What that entry of the DNS list pertains to, is a currency such as what d2jsp has in place. This is different.

I support the idea. Would be cool to have earnable points which can be redeemed via a VBShop for miniranks and possibly other goodies which could be implemented in the future.

 

Pretty neat idea Moh. You've got my support. I like the part about integration with Le Kingdoms.

The rate of points would have to be carefully implemented to prevent people from obtaining a shit tonne of them rapidly but I think it's a good idea.

A problem to be sure, but if you just make the price of miniranks... lofty, then it'd be less of a problem. In my opinion, the points shouldn't be something you work towards for a day and you have enough for a minirank EVERY DAY, they should be grossly over priced. That way, they're hard to obtain, and when people dice for them, they're actually taking risks.

From DNS list, doubt it's gonna happen.

Don't you know, I'm master of breaking the DNS. I got my shoutbox but not really a shoutbox suggestion approved and is in production atm. go me!

No I didn't mean like that. I mean an increase in daily points you can earn. For example a none donator could earn 1000 points a day maximum, a $5 donator 1200, a $25 donator 1500 and so on..


Also, IDB.. I think the Sythe currency means like trading with Sythe currency, as in I'll buy your rs account for 20 Sythe coins or something like that.

I believe Moh is referring to a new mini rank system in which the more active you are, the points you earn. You can only use those points to buy mini ranks and nothing else.

Not nothing else, just miniranks to start since they're the major incentive for activity on the forum atm. If an RSPS comes up, or Le Kingdoms grows, it could be used in those features as well.

1000 and 1200 sounds like loads of points. Something smaller like 1 point per 50 posts, 1 point per $ donated, 1 point per hour spent online, 5 points for an approved suggestion.. then we could award say, 100 points as prizes for competitions etc.

A mini-rank could cost 150 points/200 points for tradeable/non-tradeable. That way, they take a while to obtain and not everyone ends up with one.

Not sure about how the whole dice thing would work, but sure.

Miniranks should be more expensive than 150-200 so they remain exclusive-- something to work towards. Whatever the "strength" of the points (whether you earn 100 for $5 donations, or 10,000), it's my opinion that it should take at least a few days of average activity to earn enough for a minirank.

So if you get 100 for a donations, 1 point for each post, 3 points per hour online, then a minirank should cost about 200 points for the least desirable one. 500 for ones like LSP, 1000 for pokeball (Y)

Also as a side note, admins should wipe everyone's miniranks (minus forum participation ranks) so no one has a crazy unfair advantage.

I like this idea. As OP says, this could also be used for future games sythe makes (kingdoms, rsps etc.) and also for prizes for cdt events. I don't like the idea of having a limit per day, but donors getting more points for donating sounds pretty good. Also, I wouldn't give points per donor rank achieved, I'd give a limited amount of points per $5 donated, for example if someone donates $5, they get 100 points, for donating another $5 they get another 100 points and so on. If they donate $25 at once, they would get 550 points instead as they are donating more at a time and so on.

that

That's why I said mini ranks would be 100k +

and that. Miniranks, as I said, should be very expensive. Something to work towards

This is not a sythe currency. What that entry of the DNS list pertains to, is a currency such as what d2jsp has in place. This is different.

yes indeed :>

Pretty neat idea Moh. You've got my support. I like the part about integration with Le Kingdoms.

This and hopefully more, "forum points" is an awesome forum feature, but it just needs something worth spending them on, and now that we have miniranks, we've got something worth spending them on

 

What do you think of the idea of creating a new fun rank/use old one and having it cost like 10,000,000 points?

Veteran fun-rank for an extreme amount of points

 

Veteran fun-rank for an extreme amount of points

"Rich Bitch" as a homage to Fagex, lol.
In all seriousness though, i'm not sure Veteran would be the best word to use. Another idea for another competition right there.

 

[MohtasaUnique]

RICH BITCHHHHH!!!! Plz yes??

 

[Heeatz]

Expect this will create more activity on sythe. Support.

 

[MohtasaUnique]

Let's hope so.


So sythe, yus? c:

 

it's my opinion that it should take at least a few days of average activity to earn enough for a minirank

Should take waaay more than a few days otherwise they'll end up worse than it is. Unless it takes a considerable amount of time, then the whole idea isn't much help

 

[NameGuy]

I support this idea as long as it takes not just effort but time to obtain these points, other wise every 12 year old will be running around with them.

 

[TheFreakShow]

Just an idea, if this does go through, you can maybe put up to buy a custom UI for a very very high amount on points.

 

[MohtasaUnique]

"A few days" was a gross moderation, more like 2 weeks for the cheapest imo

 

[millzlevels]

Support. This sounds cool.

 

[FireZ]

Points systems have bee used on other websites so I know its possible (dont know what vb version though)

Would support as long as points gained is slow

 

I don't care much for miniranks, but I like this idea.

 

[Quatakai]

I don't care much for miniranks, but I like this idea.

same goes for me, but if it can aid in boosting activity sure why not?

goodstuff moh, support.

 

[Ziggily]

I like this idea. It will make the mini-ranks worth something instead of just posting in specific areas.

As long as points are gained slowly like others have mentioned, I offer my support
