IBStore

[xfir]

IBStore rewards you for psoting here... so to speak.

With each post, you gain credits. With these credits, you can "purchase" items. These items give you either special effects (like name effects) or abilities, like uploading an emoticon.

Currently, here are the various ways to gain credits:

Register: 10 credits
Post a new topic: 5 credits
Post a new poll: 5 credits
Post a reply: 5 credits
Shout: 1 credit

Test forum = 0 for all

Note that these can change by forum, but I will be sure you update you should they change.

[Oprime]

I get it. But do any of the posts that I have already made been counted or only for posts after the mod was installed?

[xfir]

Everyone starts at zero.

[Oprime]

What other kind of items are going to add to the IBStor xfir?

[xfir]

I may add such items as:

Change your Username
Close or Open your own topics
Pin your own topics
-- Dunno bout this one  -- Create your own forum.

There are no bugs with this store set up are there ,is this the finished setup?

[xfir]

Technically, nothing is completely bug free.

But I have a good faith that this will work.

[selfdestruct]

What if this starts a slew of just posting for the credits can you take away that persons credits or topics or replies?

[xfir]

Yes. I can also prevent them from posting. I may also make a mod that prevents them from even gaining credits at all.

[Oprime]

Xfir you can just think about this way the forum will be more active because of the IBstore. You can get more members joining and posting. But for Leviathan, Plymoth45, and me we'll get more people to play with.

[xfir]

Yea.. it is a good idea..

One good thing is that you cannot create items that do not have a script backing them.. say a Thor's Hammer Rifle.

[Leviathan]

yea we need more people 2 play with.
people should get credits for playing games of op2, playing games is keeping the game alive and the gaming community active which is ultimately what we are trying 2 do with this forum.

[plymoth45]

I like the idea of credits for playing games, we also should have that sort of thing for people making maps, and have how many credits for how well it is jugded by the players.

[CK9]

We need to get into contact with as many of the players as possible.

[mustang09-06]

Hey xfir.  I like your idea. Who knows maybe the forum will hit 200 members. (Still hoping) You'll just have to keep an eye out for spammers.

[CK9]

eveyone has the potential to be a spammer.  We're just lucky that x is the head admin.

[plymoth45]

Yes, we are very lucky. When i saw this credit thing, i had an craving to spam, but thought against it.

[CK9]

As long as x is here, spamming will remain little to none

[plymoth45]

that is unless some idiot from another area hacks into x's hosting system and locks him out. If that is even posible.

[CK9]

it is, but I think hacker could reverse hack

[plymoth45]

isn't that comonly known as reverse engineering? Just not with a game?

[xfir]

Okay then.

This is an official annoucement concerning the IBStore:

If a post does not contain any useful information or contains fewer than 10 words, I will delete it and fine the member.

If that member has purchased an item, I will remove the item.

There is NO point to the mod if all you are going to do it spam.

[CK9]

so let's see...

even if you elaborate and it is still under 10 words, it still gets deleated?

[Leviathan]

ok i argree 2 that if when u go2 post reply u get a warning telling you that your post is under 10 words.

[CK9]

I still do not see how that is fair.


I could have posted just that, but it was only 9 words.
