Swellick Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Hey! I've just though of an idea on how to use fourm points! What if a 'store' was added to WFG's website and people could spend ponints on things like 'buying' a 0 A.D. CD - the CD would be mailed to him from the nearest 0 A.D. member. Or another one is what if someone could buy a modpack - for example: he says I want the Greek archer to look like this - he would include a vivid description from which one of WFG's staff artists would draw a concept art that would be emailed the the buyer, the buyer would then say if it look right or needed certain adjusting - and then the modeling team and texture team would finish it and it would be emailed to the buyer. These are just 2 suggestions for the store, I am sure that there would be many more - that is IF WFG accepts the idea. Also,things like buying a CD would be very expensive to your point buget - just so you don't get flooded with requests for things like this. Also, this is not real money - just forum points - real money would cause lots of problems. Questions? Comments? Bugs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 This is an awesome idea ! To beh onest, I had something like that in mind anyway when installing the forum points system. There may also be some section on the website, that can be accessed only if a certain amount of currency has been reached.Personally I like this idea very much. Stickied and donated 5 bucks to Swellick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted September 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Thanks! I hope this idea will be able to be reasonable... I shall FULLY enjoy this idea! be sure to add other interesting and reasonable ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acumen Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 There may also be some section on the website, that can be accessed only if a certain amount of currency has been reached.Possibly exclusive access to media only visible to members? (that is, the full list of eyecandy (images/concepts/screenshots), not just the cream that appear in news posts). Personally I'm hoping that ALL media distributed through the intranet will wind up in the Media section of the new site (but filtered for non-staff).

Wijitmaker Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I agree with Stuart, we should give some people incentive for registering on our forums/website. Neat idea Swellick I think that would be a good use of the points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 That's a great way to speand our money Swellick. While I'm here, I'll talk about another idea. Maybe for a lesser amount than say a CD or Modpack, you can buy yourself a custom title for these fourms if you're non-staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted September 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 What did you have in mind Op? You weren't thinking of calling yourself Black Op the Black Top now did you. This might get confusing, but it might be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I was going to call myself after the fashion of the Dark Lord Sauron, say "Lord of the Rings". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted September 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Don't we already have this sort of thing, I mean you're already 'Black Op', Why would you need TWO names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Nope, I think he means your TITLE not your USERNAME. The title is the small text just above your pibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 You've got that right DA. I thought up of another way to spend your money. Maybe if you have a very large amount of money, you can buy yourself a position as a beta tester for any of WFG's games. This should be reserved though when a game is about 90% complete but spots can be reserved though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Yeah, I will make a list of things what everybody can be able to buy soon, and then we have a nice store or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Op Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I've taken note of that, despite your earlier claim that Black Op is not the Top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 What is this points thing? Sorry to be so confused, but I looked it up in the help system and nothing appeared. I assume you get more "money" when you post more? (or donate?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 @CodeOptimist: http://forums.wildfiregames.com/wfg/index....hp?showtopic=98@Blacky: Good job on the list. About the unique smilies: You can just insert a remote one with [ IMG ], so that is a bit pointless, no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Well, I believe it was one of Swellick's uncountable suggestions Darky (hehe... I'm Blacky and you're Darky DA). You can find it at the smilie suggestion topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
