| As far as I know, people earn lucre according to quantity of posts, and I believe it should be more advanced.
Rather than make it so that people gain the same amount of lucre for each post/thread, make it so that the gain it based on how long the post is. I've seen this on many forums, and I believe it may work. |

| Well, here's the thing. It's possible to make long, meaningless posts. And it's possible to make short, meaningful posts. I've seen both extremes here numerous times. Also, what about the many times when Rogue copy-pastes an article into her posts in Current Events/Debate? She'd get more lucre for something that wasn't her work to begin with.
Note: I am not trying to say Rogue would abuse this, I'm merely pointing out a flaw in the idea. (Last edited by Tamarin Calanis on 05-12-05 08:22 PM) |

It would be nice to have this put in, but from reading Tamarin Calanis post I have to say it would be unfair. It would be rather tricky too to make this feature wouldn't it?  (Last edited by Déesse on 05-13-05 01:08 AM) |

| It would be better off as we are right now. I mean, if everyone post 3 links to their pictures, we would might as well as call it 1000 Lucre for each link and I would be sticking rich as other people would too.
Not only that but Tamarin's right too. If everyone post a stupid spam that take up 10000 words, he or she would be cheating and we would have to stop meaningless lucre. Plus, I don't see the problem with having lucre each time you post. |

| well, perhaps that is true.
So perhaps is could somehow not count quotes? |

Originally posted by DarkSlaya, Jedi WargodOriginally posted by Déesse Yeah, thinking about this I'm sure people could do many things to "trick" the system. Simply, hitting "space" a bunch of times. Maybe putting images in a post that takes up a lot of "character space". I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but I agree that it would have it's flaws. It's not a bad idea though, to think about. (Last edited by Darth Xeodious on 05-13-05 05:08 PM) |

| Well here's my view on it- it all comes down to the simple fact that you shouldn't post just to get money. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Originally posted by Tamarin CalanisConsidering the fact that I don't even use or care about our fake money system, would you rather I just delete all of my lucre to be fair? No really, I don't care about this stuff (as I don't even sim battle) and hell, being an admin and can give or take it away, I don't really see a point in my having any. |

| then perhaps a better idea.
Anything inside tags, minus bold, italics, underlined, ect would not be counted? It would judge the picture by it's text form. |

Originally posted by Ford PrefectTouchy today? I was using you as an example, I'm sure others have copy-pasted articles into their posts before. That would lengthen the post, and under the proposed system that would get more money. Sheesh. Sorry. |

| Ummm... What's kinda post did Syntax just did?
Look, Rogue... Or whatever you go by now... Tamarin is setting a point that he doesn't want to experience directly first. He is just stating a point of proof where "we" could show a possibility outcome of a certain event. If we alway do it first before consider the action side effect, most people would be taking advantage of the whole thing and we would be making ourselves look pretty stupid. So just take it easy, alright? Sometime, it is better to set a example and show a point of simulation of a event that people MAY do in their behavior toward to these type of rules. We do NOT mean to offend you in any way but your current up-to-date knowledge can show and effect on how everyone would response in a new behavior if they knew one way of gaining Lucre by doing what you did. Errr... I am just sleepy and my brain acting all freaky. I just think this is a bad idea. Period. |

| Considering the fact that I am the richest user on the board, and also don't use the lucre even though I did buy a few things, and I do contribute, and I write my stories, and I've lost my train of thought, why are we fighting about the structures of a fake money system when most people just make up the weapons and such they use in sim battles anyway?
And, to my understanding, you're given lucre on a per post basis, not a word-quantity of post basis. So, quit yer complainin' and post some good ol' crap, and you'll be rich beyond yer wildest dreams as well, ya damn whippersnappers. Maybe if you saved up lucre, like I do, you'd have lots of it. But why are we arguing about this? We might as well argue about monopoly money while we're at it. Richest and Poorest Users. Richest User: Zabuza with 105884 Lucre. Poorest User: Phalinx with 95 Lucre. (Last edited by Zabuza on 05-14-05 05:58 AM) |

Oh well. How 'bout this... post and be active. This is all meant to be fun, not something to ruin your day over. (Last edited by Ford Prefect on 05-14-05 01:11 PM) |

Originally posted by Vulkar What  no, if you want more lucre there is already a few ways to get it. Xeo has the bring someone along and get lucre and like Rogue said, be active, post a lot and save your money, then you will be able to buy things 
Don't you need the battle arena to be up anyway to be able to use your new armour etc? last I saw it isn't working yet  |

| The Battle Arena is working ... somewhat (not for everyone).
I'm basically leaning on what the majority of you have said, it just doesn't seem needed. Besides this, there are other ways to gaining quantities of Lucre, such as the "Bring Members", the "Game Reviews", etc. But like Zabuza and others have said, if you just post and don't "worry" about your Lucre count, before you know it you'll be rich. I bought my Masamune through the Itemshop easily, and right now I myself can basically buy anything I want, while I still have good equipment. Just post, don't worry, then "Whoa" you'll have a lot to spend. (Last edited by Darth Xeodious on 05-14-05 11:32 PM) |

Originally posted by Darth Xeodious Yeah, then there's the problem of me being able to get into the market because of the battle hack incident, hehe And that falls under it not working for everyone like you said.
Well Darth, as long as the people you bring over stay active then you get the dough, if not, then no. |
