Welcome to Wildfire Games' Forums, Patzy. Enjoy your stay

Thanks DA, gj. Now to test it on myself (or you
).Maybe we make it so, that people only get 1 per reply, 3 per new topic and the bonus isn't that good either, but once they make an outstanding post, they get a whopping amount by a moderator.Sounds like a slice from my head (i.e., i've hoped for that change).

Note from Swellick:
The word in question is a slang term for a man's genitals. Can't be fixed except to change the foul language list, which i can't do. We know what the bug is, so there's not a need to change it.
About the question, i'll say E.

Woohoo! I was right! Next question?

Rise of Nations has something like this. You research things such as "Militia" or "Minutemen" or "Partisans", and then your villagers can turn into one of those depending on how much you've researched. Its realistic to me

Maybe your food count slowly decreases to reflect the raising of the child?

Exactly why i think we need a system where you only gain currency if you have so many words in a post. Also, if a moderator/admin deems a post a "spamoney" post, he can fine that person.
I think right next to the "Donate" link should be a "Fine" link, leading to a form of how much to fine and a box to place the reason in. Of course, this form would only be visible by authoritative people.

Have you read this?

Symantec's always been helpful whenever i've had a virus. If that doesn't help, i'd back up my work to another HD, CD-R, etc, and full format. Just make sure you take the other HD out before you do

(you're supposed to donate to me, if you think its a good idea
)What does everyone else think?

Maybe things like the plague and such would be implemented and the birthrate stops (babies die at birth and such), and people die too...some ideas.
Very good Swellick, i like it.

(side note: yes, we could have had this discussion in MSN, but its better for all too see it and give feed back)
Alright about the #-word idea...anyone else?
The problems with percents, no one offense is really worth 100%. Thus, its impossible to get to 0%. I.E., if you have 100 0ads, lose 50%, then another 50%, you don't lose 100%, you're losing 75% (50%, then 50% of that is 25%, 25% + 50% is 75%).
I have the right formula for under 1,000 coins. Instead of having it times 5, multiply times 1/2, and instead of 1 per 1,000 coins, make it 1 per 100. Thus, 2 (50 rounded up is 100) x 100 (for the offense) x 1/2 = 100. That means you lose all yer coins until you get a substantial amount. That way, its the more mature members that get up to 1,000 posts, and they have more of a chance of surviving.
Of course, we can always fine by even more than the formula grants if its deemed such a serious offense. Of course the formula needs fine tuning, if its chosen to be used.

Well, 20 words is just a starting figure, its tenative. It could only be applicable for the "General Forums", not forums such as "Computer Desk" where such conversations would take place...i dunno, it's an idea that needs finessing.
As for people with mass coinage, we could multiply the offense's fine by whatever # thousand you're on, rounded up, and again by 5. For example, say you had 3,519 0ads. Rounded up, it'd be 4,000, so 4 times the offense. If the offense was worth 100 coins, that'd be 400, times 5 again = 2,000 coins as the total fine.
Ex. 2, to see how it works with higher numbers. Current 0ad's = 12,385, and same fine worth. Thus, 12 x 100 x 5 = 6,000 for the fine.
Ex. 3, with lower numbers. Current 0ad's = 50, same offense worth. Thus, 1 (first 1,000) x 100 x 5 = 500...we'd have to have another formula for 0ad levels under 1000.

Hey Swellick, Best of Entertainment can be fun...*remembers "Chip's Challenge" and all the frustration that was included in it*

Some ideas i thought about while talking with Tim:
1. Everyone starts with 20 currency.
2. If you perform an offense, you get fined.
3. Depending on the nature of the offense, more money gets fined. I.E., a racial slur might be offendable by 50 coins, whereas using foul language only 10.
4. When you get to 0, you get banned.
5. You only get "paid" for a post if it has 20 or more words (to prevent spam money).

1 step is about 2 feet, so 2/3 of a meter. Depends on the steps two, when i'm sleepy there's more steps

Not too big (we're moving because its small), just long, and my bedroom's on one side with the basement on the other...

Winkey + L
Pushing this combination does the "Switch User" function of XP (Start -> Log off -> Switch User). Its good when you've got it passworded and that annoying sister wants to use your PC when she very well has her own
-
It's about 100 steps, maybe 150, to get from my bedroom to the basement

Yeah, if you just zoomed the camera to that persons viewpoint, it wouldn't work, as right-click movement (or however 0ad will do it) just doesn't work out (pitch/zoom AoM to a units' viewpoint, it doesn't quite work out. It would only work like a normal FPS.

Don't follow, explain?

Madden 2004
Morrowind
um...if i got to take an Xbox also, i'd take HALO or NBA Streetball vol.2
Looky, no RTS games! Those'r dying out, all older (although the Empires demo is fun to play, and i wanna play Generals)

So we all notice DA has 50+
Fill me in, what is/was karma?
-
Sounds good...maybe for minor offences on the site we can "fine" someone?

I'm guessing an ATI All-in-Wonder, or such "TV" card.
