Idea

[HeretoDLstuff]

I had a idea of somthing that could be added.

With each post a user made, he would gain some lumber and some gold. And with every reasors he submits, he gains exp like heros do in wc.

To make it so people dont just spam posts, there would be a max amount of resorses you could get in a amount of time. ( If you made 5 posts in 30 mins, for a example, then every post after that woukld give less and less and less..untill it gave nothing)

Then, there would be shops were, if you had enough resorses, you could buy items. Really goo items might cost exp and maybe even rep, and weaker items would cost gold and lumber. What the items do and how much they cost, ect, would be up to ralle but you can give suggestions.

EDIT: Poll didnt work becaus the site logged me out in the middle of posting it....if a mod could add one I would like it.

CREDITS TO NEARBYHERMIT FOR ASKING FOR CREDITS. ( )

I think the forum is nice how it is now.

You can't buy reputation, you must earn from from the community
and were do you need the items for?

I never said buy rep...
Items would do differnt things, they would be all the same, so unless you misspoke, you use them "everwhere"...

Yup. That was going to be one of the options in the poll.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It might be a good idea, it all depends on what those items would do.

And 5 posts in 30 minutes is not a lot, putting an restriction like that on would be stupid.

Yeah, I know it would be stupid. I was giveing a example, we wouldnt set it to that amount.

If you have any ideas for items, post them! the only one I had is a colored name in chat (maybe not forever, but for a few days) But there is a reason why only mods have colors, so if it was going to be added at all, it would have to cost alot of exp,gold,and lumber.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

I think we should leave the reputation out of this. and i still dont see the benefit of this

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hereto that was my idea,give me some credits
And the items should consist in name color,icon change.Etc

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Hereto that was my idea,give me some credits

No it wasnt...Remember I was showing you the site and we started talking about it. But ok, I gave you credits now anyways.

And the items should consist in name color,icon change.Etc

Only some items could do that I suppose. Not all fo them though,lol.

Yeah, I kinda agree, rep should probably stay out of it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well no
Why dont we use rep as a money subtitute

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Rep is how well know and liked. Would it make wolverabid less wellknown and liked if he used all his rep on items? Of course not! Everybody would still like him and know who he is! So...It would be kind of dumb to use how much people like you as money.

Of course, he could get the items without buying them becaus hes a mod.

BUT, I suppose some really good items could cost 10 rep as well as other things.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You would need to come up with some more original ideas than just "colored names" for these items to buy.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Lol dude your name isnt colored,you are supposed to sustain me
And what about the icons,change the rickety peon icon,and to buy smilies(new ones),avatars ,cool ones.Opportunities like-Increse rep factor,decrese neg rep

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

All those, besides from the chat peon icon, are bad ideas.

 

[NearbyHermit]

it doesent matter

It could be a like 200 icons shop,it will make it very big

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

You think up some awesome ideas then.

I will try to think some ite ideas up soon.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It is your idea, not mine, if you want anyone to like it you need to make it appealing.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Wich is the problem, i cant think of any usefull/awsome ideas, and icons could be cool but it will cause people to spam with almost (if not) uselless posts

 

[Jacek]

arcane.pl has gold-for-posts system and it fails

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Does it fail as much as the Wc3c Stockmarket did?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Pointless and a waste of server recources, I am sure that all the admins and global mods would agree with me that although such a system may be fun, it will be a waste of time to code and encourage spamming.

 

[DesKaladA]

And my site might do it but i would need more members.
If i had 50 members i might do it
and dont make spam accounts
i will know

"Pointless and a waste of server recources, I am sure that all the admins and global mods would agree"

i do agree but i will try it

 

[lordgriffen]

Instead of spending rep, some items could require you to have a certain amount of rep or greater to buy the item. Just an idea I'm throwing out.

 

[PurplePoot]

Blarg, one of the forums I occasionally visit uses vPlaza, and it's more of an annoyance than anything... I have like 99999999 points that I never spend, because all you can buy are colored things (names,user titles,etc) and thief points from other people; the system sounds cool, but when put into practice it's not really practical.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It wouldn't only be practical at really large sites where you could actually get something valuable, at some small wc3 forum or the like where you can only get forum related things that are useless it is not much of a use to have such a system.

Places as big as example newgrounds might benefit from such a system.

 

[Soulkinght]

Its a very good idea... we should do it

 

[DesKaladA]

Or...
I will call up my supageekteam and we could make a game kinda like A TBf or a Fighter and the resources you would use to upgrade your cahator and stuff

 

[LordDz]

Didn't Wc3 campaigns have a thing like this?

100% agreed.

NO system that provides rewards for post count will ever be included here at our Hive. I encourage users to post for quality: a detailed/helpful/informative post or none at all.

It's possible that some type of system might be devised for approved, original, and valid resources, however, as the good doctor has noted, the coding and upkeep of any such system may be problematic. Only Ralle could devise and implement it and he already has his hands plenty full.

I second that, it would be a waste of resources, when we could be focusing on the more important parts of the site.

Anyway, no one has really come up with a good idea for stuff you could get, because I don't know about the rest of you but I don't really care about coloured names and chat icons.

I third that, it would be a waste of time and money...we don't need to turn the Hive into a game: *Whoever gets enough money can buy a "Icon" for your self*

Doing that would make Ralle turn the icons into tiny little dots, which is time...and using his programs to make the icons costs money and time. I don't know if the programs are free or not, but I do know for a fact that Ralle Will never make *200* icons just for our entertainment, it would turn the hive into a game.

Also, it would mess up this site greatly. There will be game advertisements everywhere, there will be meatspin and lemonparty links, trust me, on every game site forum there is always spam...and trust me, you do not want to know where those links end you up to. Imagine having 100 spams like that, or similar a day. Every kind hearted people will eventually leave and the site will be corrupted. We do not want that, do we? You can think about the future, but think in the FAR future, and see if this site ends up like the game, Armmegetron. We need to stay Community friendly if we don't want to be corrupted.

Again, I third everything that our good doctor, and Wolverabid said.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Yeah, I dont really think icons colors in chat is a good idea either. Anyways, the people in command have said "No!", so its not going to happen.

 

[lordgriffen]

Why not have a poll to see who wants this system on the Hive?

Like I said, I was going to add a poll but I couldnt..

 

[Sacrimo]

Even if you did make a poll and most people said yes, Ralle would never do it.
