Idea [please read]

[--> S u s a n]

I'm sure you've all seen them. Either you've been on the site who did, or you've seen them. On the mini profiles you see where it says: Money && then there is a store where you can buy stuff. I was thinking perhaps we should do that here.

Like we get rid of some of the things people can do now themselves. Like God/Goddess and Immortal wolves.

Okay let's say for every post you get 10 dollars and to have a God/Goddess wolf you need 500 dollars. That means you'd have to post 50 times.

but there will be other ways to get money. Like we could have contest && of course the "Of the Months"

OPINONS. Do you think we should do this, or no?

If you do think so please give your ideas on what people should be able to buy && for how much!!

I think we should do it only if we can have appealing things in the store, and not tooo many limits on what we can do with our characters. o.o You'd have to be careful so you don't make creating a character less fun. (Although, buying more characters would be interesting.)

If that makes any sense. o.o

'cause if the store is full of "Personal banner for x amount of dollars" and only things of that nature, it tends to be more lame than fun. You know?

I like the idea though ^^

[--> S u s a n]

Yeah of course. I don't want to limit's one creativity. I just think it's a fun interesting thing, and it helps us not being overcrowded with some things.

Ah personal banners I didn't think of that o.o I wouldn't be able to do that because I don't have photoshop.

I was thinking of Gods/Goddess (you already have to ask me for that) immortal wolves and maybe other stuff that I can't think of right now xD

[.Edge]

I've seen shops that were really badly thought out and they really weren't any fun. Shops just require thoughts thats all I'm saying, although, this forum is a better one than some of the ones I've been on o.o So you know...

Ah, and not banner, title. Like how yours is Alphess <3

[--> S u s a n]

Well that's why I want people's opinions xD I dont want it to be dull and then I don't want it to be impossible to get anything.

Oh meh awesome title? xD lol yeah

[.Edge]

I have to go, class is over O= Bye!

Yus, if we have a shop thingy, there should be some fun shtuff in it.. but I don't know what because my brain is failing to cooperate with me at this very moment.

BUT I THINK A SHOP WOULD BE COOL. /end caps

I could make the banners or whatever once I get my programs, which should be soon. I'm not an advanced expert or anything, but I do decent?

[--> S u s a n]

Psh, don't be so modest, Nicole. Your awesome when it comes to graphics xD

[Haleigh[:]

Hmm... I'm not so sure about this one. One of the reasons I like Nozomi is because we can have immortal wolves. if we had to start buying them it'd be difficult, and people might just be spamming or double posting so they can have enough money to buy an immortal wolf.

I think buying a god wolf would be alright though, maybe lower the price just a little though.

I mainly think we would need some stuff to buy. I know Nicole is good at graphics and stuff, but who else could sell them? We could have random shops, like one that makes really random pics and stuff, but things would get kinda cluttered and stuff.

I think it's a good idea, we just need to think of things to buy.
Maybe there's a super powerful class of wolves that people need to buy. Like someone makes a species that would be required to be bought and you'd have to ask the person. We could sell graphics, of course. Maybe buy the oppertunity to be mod for a week? But make it expensive so you don't have 509834797234 mods running around.

idk. Just ideas[; But I think we should.

[--> S u s a n]

I wouldn't let anyone spam, and I know so far that none of our members would do that. I personally wouldn't think it would be difficult to buy immortal wolves. I mean Haliegh you have 41 posts that would be 410 dollars. I'm not going to enlimate everything, like I told Silence, just a couple of things that already you have to ask me for {well except for immortal wolves, so far we're alright, but I don't want 100 of them running around -_-}


&& for the God thing like before I don't want a 100 of them running around. I don't want it to be TO hard to get a God then again I don't want it to be TO easy

Yes, I like the species thing, that could work -nods <3

&& I was thinking about for moderators..but the money for that would be pretty high - in the thousands (which would be have to be 100 more more posts..)


Okay so this is just going to be an ‘example’ of what I mean.

Let’s say that I set that for every post you made you got 10 points.

100 dollars – able to have wolf in 2 different threads
300 dollars - able to have an immortal wolf
500 dollars – able to have a God/Goddess character
700 dollars – get a have a ‘blank species’
1000 dollars – able to be a moderator

That is just an example. Some of them might be hard to get. But I think some of them are too easy. I mean most people here already have more then 20 posts. && if we do do this I will make it where there are other ways where you can get money other then posting.

1. It's a mess. Ask Kaijin. We are using that on our soon-to-be forum we are still setting up.
2. It will take a /lot/ of time. Not just setting it up, but maintaining it.
3. It's a good idea. Like I said, Kaijin and I are using it for a forum we are both admins of. But we are both taking care of it. Splitting everything evenly so it won't be so overwhelming.
4. It may cause members to leave. Any change may cause members to leave. But a forum without change will die. So.. -shrugs-
5. Some of the newer members may find it unfair, and it may drive them away. Any forum with things like that may drive away potential members. Any forum with rules will drive away potential members too, though xD; Doesn't mean we should loose the rules.
6. I agree it is a fun idea, but it will drive to people posting more often, as often as they can, making as many characters as they can to post more, and have shorter posts so they can go post something else.
7. If we hold contests for that, we should have several small ones that give out small amounts of money every few days. Then she should hold larger ones with slightly larger amounts of money for prizes every week, or every other week. Then we should hold the largest ones for once a month, with a Grand Prize and runner-up, just to be fair. That way there would be plenty of chances to win ;p
8. Do you know how much planning one contest takes? -Pokes Kaijin- If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to come up with our first one >>;

I'm just hoping you are aware, this will add a LOT to your list of 'to dos'. I'm for the idea, mostly. I may not like it, but I know what potential it holds. Maybe make a limit on characters, and make every character after that like... $50 or somethin'. That way people don't go overboard, you know?

[--> S u s a n]

Personally, I really don't care if we do it or not -shrugs- I just thought it might be an idea xD But it seems more people are against it and I'm not going to do something that no one likes (if i was then what was the point of this board?) I just thought it might be a fun little addition buuhh we don't have to do it -shrugs-

[.Edge]

Just a thought, though, once the forum gets rolling 100 posts will be nothing to a person o.o You would also have to think about raising the prices of somethings as time went on 'cause once a healthy forum gets going people should be able to push out 100 in like, two weeks or so, depending on their activity. If you're me probably a little less 'cause I like to talk and I have absolutely no life >>;;

[--> S u s a n]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I know once a site becomes very active people can easily get like 10 or more posts a day which would be already 100 dollars xD

Perhaps in the end, it's not best to do it, eh? && if we do I guess it should be only for certain things. So that the members who dont wish to be part of it, is not effected at all. but then I don't know what the prizes should be if we did do it like that xD

We could have it for species. I like that idea, but have the person decide the price.
We could have some of the artistic people draw for money, as well.
Maybe some of the people with graphic skills making things for the signatures, as well.
Or like, pictures for the bios. I'd have to make one to show you, but basically the entire thing would be 'one' image, with the information written on the image. However, the image itself would be broken up into parts....
Or like Kaijin said, we could have it so our titles are different. Where we could choose it for money.
I like all those ideas, so -shrugs- But make the prices change according to how much people are posting.
But that's if you even want to get into all that. Like, if someone bought artwork, we would have to take the money from someone else and then give the one who was doing the artwork the money.
-Shrugs- Like I said, I love the idea... but it takes a lot to sort through xD; I'd suggest 'hiring' people to help you, people ya trust ;p Give them admin over the member profiles, and such and they could be 'The money police' o:
-Cough-
I just had chocolate chip waffles.
Sorry


Edit: And with the species, I think the following should take place;
I think immortal wolves should be a separate species, and any species someone makes with immortal/god-like wolves have to okay it through you.
- That way you could raise the price if there begins to get too many immortal wolves...

I also think the gods/goddesses should have a separate species, for the same reason above. You can change the price if more people want god-like wolves.

And I think that there should be a 'year' counter O-o That way we can start killing our wolves accordingly to how old they are...
That way the role players can have them leave the lands if they don't want to kill them, or just kill them. It'd keep character numbers down, you know?
