Hey gang, you will by now have noticed that as you make posts, you gain things such as gold and also site credits. I wanted to have a way for you to be motivated to post and in exchange be rewarded. As you reach certain amounts, you can cash them in here in exchange for goodies such as things for your character or perhaps a drawing from me or some other super famous artist (cough cough, yeah right), maybe an extra something special for your character like an affliction (vampire?), etc. These idea's havent been thought out yet but we will be doing so and will let you know more here. I would love to hear your idea's.... what sorts of things would you like to see offered here for purchase or how we can utilize this.

The special affliction thing may be a good, idea, you just need to balance it. If your a vampire, make sure your character reflects that (i.e., dislikes sunlight, garlic, crosses, etc.). A werewolf, make sure you keep track of what the phase of the moon is, can you voluntarily change or is it involuntary, where are ready supplies of wolfsbane and belladonna, etc. It could very quickly become an interesting (and bothersome!) RP modifier. This would eliminate most of the people who uber-post then ask for something overpowered. The good roleplayers should be able to keep up with most of the minor things, the uber-posters may or may not be left in the dust. Another interesting idea would be to have it as not just a credits thing, you have to cash in the credits to open a special RP in which you acquire the special effect.

Great idea's, thanks.
You all will most likely soon notice too that your post counts arent going up as fast as you like right? lol, that would be because ALL non play by post role playing posts made dont count. Only the ones made in actual rp's will generate points for you. This is to promote role playing over spamming. We will see how it works with time.

lol, didn't notice that regular posts don't increase the count. my bad.
For the special rank, again, one could cash in the credits for a special RP crated by an admin. Want to be a general in an army? Then have an army-style RP, with you somehow succeeding the current general. Nickname that verybody around the realms uses for you? Have a heroic campaign that takes them all around the world, doing something that will cause the citizenry to give you a name.
Also, ST, for some reason I cannot post in any of the stickys, such as the "Your thoughts and/or idea's" section in the General Store, is this just me or is it for everyone?

Checked it out... I had it locked down at a board level so nobody could ever post. All fixed now. Thanks. Great idea's by the way... I like them.
