Aix Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Below are the sample prices and point earnings that will form the basis of the YCM economy. The details must first be approved by the moderators of each section, but this is an estimate of what will work best. YCM SITE SHOP The following items will be available in the shop. Name Change - 3000 points Color Topic Title - 2000 points (note that editing your topic removes the color) VIP Membership - 1000 points/month Custom Membership - 1200 points/month YCM Premium Themes - ??? (still being worked out) Themes cannot be bought, but VIP Member Groups can access them. MODERATOR FAVORS The following you will have to send points to a moderator and ask them to do it. Profile Music - 3000 points Custom Member Group - 10000 points POINTS PER POST/TOPIC Varies depending on the forum, but unless otherwise specified, each post gives you 10 points, and each topic gives you 25. POINTS EARNING Questions/Help - Earn 300 points for getting Best Answer. Suggestions - Earn 500 for a suggestion that gets implemented. Custom Cards Single Card reviews get 300 points, reviews in Multiple Cards where there are more than 5 cards get 500 points. Reviews must be cashed in by posting in the a specified pinned thread in the section. Only 3-5 reviews can be cashed in per week. Ones that don’t meet the moderator’s standards count towards this limit, so quality is more important than quantity. Card Contests by Qualified Judges get 200 points for each submitting member to be added to the pot. TCG 10 points for each post in a thread you made. Tournaments get funding of 200 points for each participant. Maybe a review reward system for Decks. Creative Writing 250 points per 1000 words in Creative Writing main forum. 750 points per valid review. Reviews must be cashed in. Roleplay Section 300 points for successfully started RP. 50 points per post in IC. 1000 points per post to be divided among the RPers when RP finishes. General - 10 points for each post in a thread you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I suggest a prolonged period of YCM point quantitative easing to favored YCM members to jump start consumer spending and the YCM economy and increase the Point to US Dollar exchange rate.

Goose Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 There is needless 400% point inflation in this system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 what's the difference between VIP, custom, and custom group? Also nothing for Showcase lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 How much of this system will be automated, and how much requires direct moderator intervention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 >10,000 for a custom member group Price is a bit iffy, but the item in question is sexy. Does it, by any chance, give you a choice to color it? Like how Mods are blue, Crow's Watch is black, etc, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazooie Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 what's the difference between VIP, custom, and custom group? Also nothing for Showcase lel you're the starving artists, every forum needs them :'D plus you guys have talents in art, you can charge pretty much whatever you want for sigs and shit, you can have price wars or price fixing, either one. OT: Honestly, it seems like the prices could be simplified at bit. Using larger numbers just for the sake of it is silly, does the software just not allow smaller things? o-o Also what Mako said would be nice to know, how much of this is automated?

Aix Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 How much of this system will be automated, and how much requires direct moderator intervention? I've already separated them between the automated Shop items and those you have to ask a mod for. what's the difference between VIP, custom, and custom group? Also nothing for Showcase lel VIP will have benefits and shit, as well as a colored name and a cool thing on the side like Mods do. The design is to be made, though I'm probably going to ask you Showcase people to make it. Custom lets you join a Custom Member Group. Custom Group lets you create your own member group, and edit the aesthetics. Also, you can tell us who is and isn't allowed in the Member Group. Night can do his thing to Showcase. He's a big boy. you're the starving artists, every forum needs them :'D plus you guys have talents in art, you can charge pretty much whatever you want for sigs and shit, you can have price wars or price fixing, either one. OT: Honestly, it seems like the prices could be simplified at bit. Using larger numbers just for the sake of it is silly, does the software just not allow smaller things? o-o Also what Mako said would be nice to know, how much of this is automated? We aren't going to be resetting the points, so those who already have a lot of points would be overwhelmingly rich. Also, I already made the prices this way, too lazy to change now.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I see nothing about 1v1 funding for the Leaderboard. If you want me to set up a proposal, I'll see what I can do after finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've already separated them between the automated Shop items and those you have to ask a mod for. Not shop items. I'm referring to points distributions for various actions. Are they ALL automated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, receiving points for posting and people posting in your thread is automated. mfw Aix ignores what I said. No support. i know you responded to someone else but like that's hella rude. Birdie asked like the exact same question as you, and it was easier to scroll up to her. I apologize if I have offended you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes. I see. As such, you'll be able to take measures to moderate and control abuse of the system? Such as, an extremely short RP raking in the points, or someone rambling uselessly about apples and spices for 10,000 words in creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as, an extremely short RP raking in the points, or someone rambling uselessly about apples and spices for 10,000 words in creative. Indeed. Not to mention that automatizing them probably is impossible anyway. Anyway, personally the points related to word count is ridiculously impractical. I'd rather do a chapter-per-chapter basis as long as it's in enough length for a chapter. Also, the cash-in system needs more description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, if we think you're just fooling around, we won't give you points for it. Very well. Prices still feel a bit odd to me. However, I might just be undervaluing the amount of work it takes to actually do some of those tasks, so it's probably just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gucci. Are moderators going to be limited in the new name change scheme? Probably not, we have to assert our place as dictators of this site. In all seriousness, no, especially considering we have control over points and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 @Goose, well, even with this applied, moderators have 3 name changes slot per 30 days iirc. Anyway, would the cash-in system apply only in RC, and if it applies everywhere else, will it be contained in a PM, a thread in each section, or just a thread for the whole site?

I'd say a thread in each section, since it'd be the section moderator governing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCherries Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Well shit I might have to get my old account reactivated to afford stuff early on.For the music thing: It isn't autoplay like those aggravating tumblr blogs, is it? Really not liking the sound of it if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
