vBookie/vbPlaze explained, please read (1 Viewer)

[Marty]

I'll try to write a short introduction to these systems. First of all, vBookie works just like before, but now you can use the money earned through vBookie in vbPlaza.

I won't explain everything, like the username and usertitle changes, that goes without saying, but here's some info the points options:

Points Options

Bank: This will allow you to put/get money in/from the bank. The interest is 2%. The money is paid out every 2 days, you're not allowed to put more money in the bank or the interest payout time goes back to two days. Also, if you withdraw money within 2 days you won't earn any interest. If you put your money in the bank, people can't steal it from you with the Theif option!

Donate: This will allow you donate some of your own points to another user.

Theif: This will allow you to attempt to steal some points from another user. If the attempt fails, the theft amount goes to the theftee. The success rate is random and the odds are a set percentage. You can't steal money that's in a user's bank.

Buy Lottery Ticket: Try your luck at the lottery to win some points! Not quite sure how this works yet. I suppose if there's 4 lottery ticket buyers and the ticket costs 500, you can win 2000.

Also, if you have questions about how something in particular works I'll try to figure it out.

Whats a profile picture?

Something I just enabled, go to your User CP:

points for bad reputation?

??

 

[Stephan]

also polls cant make all members so it would be somekind of mod gifting to other mod.

and if i dont have profile pic? and i dont want to add it anyway.

 

[Marty]

points for bad reputation?

??

It could be negative points, meaning you'll lose money when you get bad rep.

 

[Stephan]

It could be negative points, meaning you'll lose money when you get bad rep.

no way that can be allowed, you know we have the official neg rep guy here. then someone would always give neg reps.

 

[Marty]

If you don't have a profile pic you obviously can't gain extra points if this is enabled. About the poll option it would be no idea adding that then.

 

[Alfio_87]

ok interesting..Will it get too easy to get rich?

 

[Marty]

Yes I suppose that is the downside. Of course the points you earn for replies etc. could be set very low.

 

[Desmond]

I like the birthday option, and seeing that it only comes once a year maybe 100 is a tad on the low side.

As for the rest of the possibilities I think some have the potential for a couple of posters to exploit the system for more points. Not that I'd care too much but probably not worth the effort creating them IMO.

 

[Stephan]

man, i think i quit betting. i already now risk often and then when i would win something it woult be stolen and i can hold it only 2 days in the bank, why only 2 days? or i misunderstand something.

 

[swag]

Man, this is some crazy ^%#$, Marty. Thanks for keeping this place interesting!

 

[Stephan]

also, could you possible add a option for those who arent interested and dont want to take part from it anyway, like close your points or something: points are there but you cant bet.

just that, if some are not interested then others who are, should stole from eachother, not from those who arent interested of it anyway.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

can you imagine that once this place was built with the idea of discussing a football team

 

[Alfio_87]

Yes I suppose that is the downside. Of course the points you earn for replies etc. could be set very low.

might b good idea we dont want inflation! wen i have to pay a hundred points for a slice of bread!
