Get paid to play?

So Osiris runs adminop on his server. . .Instead of stat points, you get "credits". You can use these credits to buy things like BFG and all sorts of cool weapons etc. We were discussing some things about it and I had a brain fart.

Is there anyway to develop some sort of "credit" system that could be implemented at TheVille? Only, instead of getting weapons and such, you would get Ville store discounts and membership discounts?

You could earn credits just by joining a server.. . or like for every 60 minutes you play on a Ville server. . .you get credits. .Wouldn't that essentially promote, "lure" people to playing at TheVille?

It would be a pain to setup I would think.. And since stats reset every week, I'm not sure it could be done.

But I just thought I would share the brain fart with j00!

I want credits to open up some admin commands. Then I can slap that little B%$$# JD like he always does me on Pull.

I know that something like this IS possible... I used to play AHL roleplay, and a server had a money system where it would give you $2000 when you start playing there, then use your WONID to let you keep the money you made (or lost) when you left and could come back again with the amount you had when you left. So you can set up a system to do this, and have you start at zero and give you points for certain actions... I don't know if you could use a timer to give points. Now persuading an admin to dump his time into a pursuit that, in all likelihood will only make him lose money... that might be the hardest part.

I've always wondered exactly "where" I am being slapped.

Well since the Ville has initiated the supporters system, that led me to believe that money was an issue in order to keep everything going here. Giving discounts on stuff, like Ville apparel, seems to go against this system. I was hoping that the stats alone would be enough to draw people here. Now paying people to play here seems a bit extreme to me. Again this is JMHO. Let the flaming begin

lol BRN, I totally see your point on that. Makes sense.

As I said, it was just a brain fart.

It was an idea for filling the servers, not paying for TheVille. Credits I guess could go toward anything really. It doesn't have to be discounts. From what you said, that would indeed negate the Ville Supporters.

The Ville supporters (who rock

) basically help support TheVille monitarily. Stats do help bring people but I thought why not try to bring even more!

Some times. . brain farts stink. . .

...and you should get a credit or whatever everytime you kill someone with a crowbar. It would promote stupidity

yea and maybe you could get a credit after like every 10-20-50-75-100 (and so on) kills, or maybe when you get an award you get 5 credits or something?

If it is added on, i dont think it should be based on tiem spent in server. Some llamas might join a server and then leave their computer on to get credits

(And the bots would get thongs for free

)
