Admin, check out this thread.

[pizzaman]

Hello Admin, I have some requests. I want to ask you them becasue of several reasons. I think making a thread here would be easier then PMing you, since your inbox is full. Here is what I ask for;

I was wondering if you could help me out. A lot of people, including me, want for our sigs to show up as pictures. I understand that this makes the posts take up more space, but we could limit the size of the sig. I mean CM's sig is already bigger then my picture would be. Can you do this?
This one is not a totally big deal, but if you can make it so that somehow we can have bigger avatars, that would be nice. I do not really mind about this but some people have asked me. As mod of the Graphics forum, I thought I should ask you.
This one is sort of complicated. I want to ask, can you install a money system? So that after every post we get a certian amount of money ( not real of course ). I have seen this on another forum. I do not think they would let me have it. This will take some time probably, so it's no rush. I just want to know if you would do such a thing. We can bet on tournaments ( NetPlay ) and just mess around with it. This is very vital, if CoolROM had this, a lot of members would be more interested in posting. And we would really get more people to join IMHO. I've talked to a few of the memebrs of CoolROM and they all thought this was a terrific idea. Of course to make bets, we need a bookie. Here are some things the bookie should do;


To bet, you need to donate money to the bookie ( There should be a donate button, so that people can do this. ). Once the money is donated, the bookie keeps record. If you win, they bookie gives the earned money. If you lose, the bookie keeps the money.
There should only be one bookie, and he must be trusted.

Hey pizza, I received an email saying you were trying to send me a PM, but my message box was full! Haven't cleaned it for a while, sorry about that. Anyways, regarding your requests - I have increased the avatar file size limit to 40kB and enabled the IMG tag in signatures. Your third request seems rather interesting, and I think it will be a good idea to motivite users to post, but I will have to look into the software required to do that. Please stay tuned for more changes to come!

Should ther be a limit to the sigs? It does slow down the site if there is too much stuff, right?

[pizzaman]

What does that do?

[pizzaman]

Oh and I forgot to mention, you get a certian amount of money for each post. Like this people won't run out of money.

[Fierce Deity]

That money thing would be a really good idea! You guys should do that. I would like to offer my services as bookie. Believe me, I have no reason to lie, you can trust me. I wouldn't like, keep the money for myself or anything, lol....

Okie if you want. But I think the bookie shouldn't be a mod. I mean you can't run both of those things. The bookie will probably be the most active, I mean he has to look for bets and everything. We might have to make a forum for that. I was also thinking if we should make a extra forum for downloading legal games that aren't ROMs. That should be pretty cool.

The bookie should be a mod, so that way you already know that s/he is an active and trusted member of CoolROM. I only volunteered because I am honest, and I am almost always on CoolROM, even if I'm not posting, sometimes I just look...

I know, but you can't be mod of two forums. No offense or anything, but I think the bookie should get his own forum for betting. Anyway, admin will decide, maybe Jambog. He said he didn't want to be mod, so maybe bookie.

[Fierce Deity]

Nah, I think it should be something completely different.. Not a forum, but an actual section of the forums area without being it's own forum... If you know what I mean. And you wouldn't be a mod, you would be a bookie. There would be different controls. So it would be goo if we got like you, me, CM, Iconoclast, or maybe jambog if he is up to it to be the bookie so we know that they are trusted...

Well ok I guess, but the bookie doesn't need any special controls. All you have to do is donate the money to him and he would keep track of it. I do not want to be bookie though. The admin will decide, you can ask him if you want to though. He hasn't even decided if he wants to install this money system mod, but if he does, ask him.

[admin]

Kameo, thanks for the PHP code, I might find some use of it in the future :). As for the money system goes, I am very interested in seeing this live on a forum - does anyone have a link to a forum that uses this?

Yes, but they aren't nice. Don't tell them I sent you if you're going to ask the admin there, he might get mad with me. WBF (http://worldboxingforums.com/forum)

Well, I know GameFAQs uses karma, which everyday when you sign on, you get a point if you don't cause any trouble. It could be like that, but on a grander scale, as we would be able to spend it too. But it should be out activity all around. Logging on. If it is based on posts, when people lose, they will just flame a bunch of threads to get back the money they lost.

And while I have your attention, admin, at the bottom of the page, it says GMT-4 but then it has my time, which is eastern U.S. and Canada, which is GMT-5... Just thought it was worth mentioning...

[jambog]

http://www.emucation.com/index.php is an emulation site that uses what they call Gil, as a form of fake currency. I'm a member of the forum but don't use the Gil, so not sure how it works. I think if you do stuff for the site like upload screenshots, help mod, whatever...the admin pays you in Gils and you can trade with other members for whatever reason. Admin might want to check that site out though since it is another gaming emulation site that uses a money system.

As for me being bookie, I'd do it, but be warned starting next week I won't be on the site nearly as often as I am now. I will try to be on at least once a day for a few minutes but no guarantee on that even. Might only be able to get on once or twice a week.:(

[chaos master]

lol, "Pizzaman, the GREAT Member of WBF??" I see your creativity is phenomenal.

Anyhoo, back to subject. I want to bet and play and stuff, so I don't know if I would be a good bookie... I will be on the site in the summer, tho probably later in the day on GMT-4 time.

I go to GameFAQs, and I have an old account there, so I have used karma. It's nice, but money would probably be better. We could start groups. I could start a "CoolROM mafia" and I would be the godfather of it, or maybe something else. There would be the image people and the Elite chosen by admin and the moderator groups. Just a thought. I don't know how that would work though, as I fit into more than one of those groups........

[Iconoclast]

The dimensions of your avatar don't need to be increased. While the title line of your posts contains your username, user info, and other stuff like that that's only a centimeter tall, an avatar that's 300x300 pixels is WAY too large. But I thought about loading avatars externally from other websites, which doesn't affect the CoolROM server.

Everyone seems to like the money system idea. ...I personally think it seems a little...well creative, but strange. I'd rather call it 'score' or at least 'rating'. Fake money just sounds...even if real money, this is an emulation website. But I do agree with the element of your idea: A score count for our matches on NetPlay, our help points for how many times we've helped an user out excluding things that we all can do, like explain an illegal ROM request. Outside of the word 'money', I think this is a good idea.

[chaos master]

I agree as long as EVERY match is not SSB or Virtual Chess 64. We must be diverse!

[Fierce Deity]

I agree as long as EVERY match is not SSB or Virtual Chess 64. We must be diverse!
Yes, but we must play some SSB and Virtual Chess. If you had it your way we would only play 007 games... Anyhoo, with Jambog not being here, he wouldn't make an entirely good bookie...Iconoclast didn't express any interest in doing in and CM said he'd rather play. Now that I think about it, if it comes between playing or being bookie, I'd rather play. Maybe we should have two bookies so that at least one of the bookies is usually on and so that one bookie can play by betting with the other bookie? But seriously, DO NOT make this currency earnable my merely posting, because then people will just flame random threads to get their money. You should get an allowance, as it were, each day at the end of the day if you recieved no warnings. So there would have to be an official way to warn people...And I like Iconoclast's I dea of getting this currency for helping people and doing things and even for moderating. Maybe moderators should get a higher allowance...?

[chaos master]

NO WAI!! If your post is bad, then the mods will delete it, which basically destroys it and it would take that money away just like it subtracts 1 post from your post count. It can work.

An electronic bookie? Maybe, but where would you find such a thing? Tibet? Hmmmmmmm........

Yes, the money would have to be permanent. Because we can't keep threads forever... And we wouldn't want to lose money randomly....For instance, if somebody thought it necessary to delete Supa Nonsense Randomosity, and we already had the money thing going, we would all go very very broke, especilly if we had already bet some money...it would have to have permanence...

Well, should the bookie be a CoolROM user, he/she would have to be online every day. Then again...this is not trustworthy. Though it is possible to find a trustworthy bookie, it is not possible to use a trustworthy method to prevent users from lying to you about winning. The best method I can think of is asking proof from both users on who gets the 'money'. This is a perfect method as long as an user does not know another user's password. If we are talking about CoolROM money with winning NetPlay matches, a NetPlay forum can be made where the moderator, the bookie, can completely delete threads reporting the newest score additions posted by users.

However, HTML is probably my weakness with computers. I know the basics, but I know almost nothing about JavaScript. I cannot say how to add a 'money' paramater for each user.

It would be the same basic way we have a post count, I should think. There would however need to be provisions for losing your money, making the money independent of your thread/posts being deleted, and for getting money from bets.

Iconoclast, this is why I said we should have multiple bookies, users that are often active, so that waay it is easy to find an online bookie.

[Iconoclast]

Then let these provisions exist, unless you think it should be a rule that inappropriate posts lose your chance of money...teach 'em to post more appropriately.

Yes, there are such things as multiple moderators. This is right. There are sure to be multiple users trustworthy of this...but what happens if two bookies add money for the same event at the same time, by chance? How might that be prevented?

Actually I think moderators or maybe special money peopel should be able to award money for helpful posts and take away for spamming or flaming outside of SNR. As, for multiple bookies adding money for the same event at the same time, computers can time down to the nano second (billionth of a second) when what happened. So somebody will almost always win out. If however, hell freezes over and they take place in the same nano second, they will both be nulled and can be redone(it is unlikely they will do it on the same nano second again...)

YEAH! I knew that, but which of us will take the 3 months to make something like that? *crickets* I thought so. It would probably be best to search for such a monstrosity, preferably on a Tibetan website.

What's with you and nanoseconds? Let's go for picoseconds!

So, you're saying that if money is permanent, than so are threads? Tell me, have you ever been to a forum that cannot keep all of its threads? Does everybody's posts go down when they delete the old threads? NONONONONONONONO! NO!! If the posts do not go down, then the money won't go down either. However, if a post or thread is deleted for inappropriteness, then we would opt to take back the post number and the money given for it.

[chaos master]

No imagination can calculate all the different kinds of things a computer can do.
An addendum: also, no imagination can calculate allt the different kinds of things these thingies can do:

baseball bat
carrot cake
house
tornado
planet
star
atom
aglets
laces
sole
Dr. Scholl

Then can all do innumerable things, just like a computer can. Pretty much anything can do a lot of stuff and be used for a lot of stuff.

Also, can a computer create matter? HMM???

[jambog]

I don't think you should get money everytime you post. You should get money when you read a different status such as newbies start out with $100 or whatever then Wannabes get $1000, Gurus get $5000, Addicts get $10000 or whatever the amounts are, something like that. We could just use the honor system on betting instead of having a bookie. If two users make a bet on a game or whatever and one losses the loser takes it up on themselves to pay the winner, if they don't pay then they just get a bad rep on the forums and nobody would probably ever bet them again, or if they don't pay up have admin or an impartial mod hear the plea and if it's felt that they should pay then admin would have the autority to transfere the losers funds to the winner. Also have a public forum where all bets between members can be posted to the public.

[Fierce Deity]

pico seconds, being a trillionth of a second or X10^(-12), I'm not sure Computers can measure those...

and I'm saying the money is independent of the threads. As in, if the thread is deleted, we keep the money, get it? But if a thread is deleted for inappropriateness, then someone can tell a moderator or money person, an dthey will subtract funds from the offending user. I have this intricately worked out in my head...if you have any questions, lemme know...

No, I'm not saying you get money everytime you post. You are awarded money by other moderators (like if you are a moderator, you can't give yourself money) when you make an informative or helpful post or topic. Just the same these moderators can take away your money if they see you are advertising, flaming, or spamming outside of SNR...

Also, the posts in the betting forum shouldn't be able to be edited by anyone but moderators, because then people might change what they bet...

[Iconoclast]

What's with you and nanoseconds? Let's go for picoseconds!Aha! Spammer. Now give me money, boy!

On the same nanosecond, FD? You are very...considering. But not that it's not possible, so this is a good thing, of course.

I was thinking there should be separate money count paramaters: One for NetPlay victories, one for CoolROM forums 'justice', one for...knowing the quadratic equation or something, and a total of all money. In the NetPlay department, however, it should work like this in a new hypothetical NetPlay forum:

User posts new thread on a NetPlay challenge, such as a tournament. States maximum number of challengers desired, which challengers, and when he/she gives up waiting for challengers if ever and awaits the hard deletion of the thread.
All other users who want to join the challenge post almost anything they want once to confirm that they wish to participate.
Once the maximum number of challengers is met, the user who started the thread starts an agreement on scoring for money (how much if you place first place, second place, etc.) if the challenge is complex.
After agreement on a scoring system for that one challenge, all participating users repost the final scoring system in case the user posting the final scoring system secretly modifies it after it's been agreed on.
The challenge starts. Hosting user may cancel at any time, or change the time the challenge starts.
All users report the results of the challenge to confirm that they all agree on who is given how many points.
The moderator closes or deletes the thread to confirm that the money has been added. If the money has not been added, the user PMs the moderator about it. And if they react unfairly, the administrator is sent a private message.Strict and secure. Sound fair?

[chaos master]

Aha! Spammer. Now give me money, boy!
o_o...

1. I am older than you. You are 'boy' if anyone is 'boy.' And don't pull any 'mature' poop on me either. The status of being a man is determined purely by age. Many people don't like men, so I don't see why so many people want the position, anyway.

2. As you have said, conversation tends to wander and it is natural.

3. I was making a valid point. Why not pico seconds? Just build a better computer and we will have a better bookie service.

Now, where's my money?

[Fierce Deity]

I just said that before you said it.
I know, I was telling you how big they were...

Thats why I said you shouldn't be able to edit posts in the betting forum unless you are a moderator, otherwise, people might change what they said...
And they shouldn't be able to merely close the game whenever they want. They should get consent from everyone otherwise if they start to lose, they could just close the game. Also, desynch, needs to be taken into consideration. What about out chess game yesterday? My screen showed you in check and me 6 points up...You screen showed a different score and me not having made my move yet....

[chaos master]

No, I meant that I said we should delete threads and keep the cash right before you posted it.

[Iconoclast]

o_o...What the hell does 'o_o' mean???

1. I am older than you. Am I the only one in this world who doesn't care about age? Being older is nothing to brag about; I don't see why people do it. You are so many days older than me, anyway. I have got to be the youngest human being in my high school unless you're a high school studnet born after June 18, 1991. You are 'boy' if anyone is 'boy.' I didn't mean to give you the impression that you are a child or anything...heh. Did you want me to use the term 'ho'? I said 'boy' because it sounds aggressively slang in a funny sort of way. I was JK. And don't pull any 'mature' poop on me either. I do not take pride in being mature...maturity is not one of the important things to learn in life. It's just I felt you were starting to seem like an exception; you know, sometimes you really make me sick. The status of being a man is determined purely by age. Wrong. By a man's definition, it is. But not purely. Besides the fact that there is a technical slang meaning in the word describing one's internal maturity, it is not PURELY determined by age. Many people don't like men, so I don't see why so many people want the position, anyway.

2. As you have said, conversation tends to wander and it is natural. I know. I just wanted money! JK; money is not one of my wants in life.

3. I was making a valid point. Why not pico seconds? Just build a better computer and we will have a better bookie service. The procession of the execution cycle cannot go so fast. It is physically impossible, that's why. Ignorant of limitations you are.

Now, where's my money? $$$$$$$$$$$ Don't spend it all on sex, sheep.

[chaos master]

Ok, WTF is a 'studnet???' It sounds quite homosexual...

'o_o' means I am shocked by your behavior. It is better than the shocked smilie to me and it is kinda scary, and imposing as well.... Yes, we know you are brave, you crazy braggart. (jjkjkjkjkjkjkkkkjkjkjjjkjkjkjk)

'Limitations?' It is non-believers like you who hold back the progression of the human race. We will find a way to get past such stuff. Take your Yoda statements to the grave! (I do not know what I meant by that last sentence....)

A man's definition is being an old fart. Case closed.

People pay me to mate with them, not the other way around. I will spend it on more money. (Do not question me.)

GAH! MONEY WILL DESTROY US ALL! AND IT SMELLS BAD!

Well, while I do not believe any of this is determined by age, if you want to pull rank, I'm older than you. And no, I do not believe the status of a man is determined by age...

Computers cannot go by pico seconds... That is 10,000 times faster than they are currently going. If only it was so easy to wish them to be faster....

[chaos master]

We will have to keep working.

And no, I do not believe the status of a man is determined by age...

I don't see how it was funny.

'Limitations?' It is non-believers like you who hold back the progression of the human race. These limitations are non-fiction whether you believe in them or not. Understanding the rules does not cause me to hold back the future. As a moderator, for example, you are expected to know how to post properly. We will find a way to get past such stuff. Possible, but we are focusing on today's technology. You'll have to live with all we can do for now. And you can't predict the future. You need to know the hard work computer scientists go through to study how to do such things, and it may or may not be impossible for all you and I know. Take your Yoda statements to the grave! (I do not know what I meant by that last sentence....)

A man's definition is being an old fart. Case closed. ...Whatever. I assume you weren't really trying to prove a point, then. It's me and Fierce Deity against you on that opinion.

People pay me to mate with them, not the other way around. I will spend it on more money. (Do not question me.) LOL. No really, that was funny. Your posts keep booming, but all I hear is "baa baa baa."

GAH! MONEY WILL DESTROY US ALL! AND IT SMELLS BAD! Well, then, have fun destroying yourself. May I recommend, from experience, marijuana?

[Iconoclast]

I think he meant that you make him care about being mature...Correct. It means that I am used to teachers paranoia about immaturity. I don't see a problem with immature. But some of the things you post...they don't drive me insane or anything, but they seem so...I don't want to say it, because I forsee your hypothetical reaction. Cheez doodles? What is it that's screwed up that makes you want to type that? What is its purpose? To be funny? Not just that, things like that you post. They seem kind of...reasonless. Empty in meaning. Spamming. Forget I brought it up, OK?

[Fierce Deity]

I don't get it.:confused:
His meaning, as interpreted by me, means that due to the way that you act, it makes him care about maturity. As opposed to normally when he doesn't think maturity is important....I think....

[chaos master]

I have much purpose, and I leave an indelible mark on all you fools!

No, I agree with you fools. But if I didn't, that doesn't mean that your opinions can erase mine. Remember Dr. Martin Luther King? Martin Luther? GANDHI?? How about Rosa Parks? Harriet Tubman? My opinon has the potential to clobber you guys' one. You better watch yourself!

You drive me crazy, hoo, hoo!! (That is a song.)

To understand my comedy, you must have an acute taste. Humor is not always "laugh out loud," but it is capable of being appreciated nonetheless.

Can't take a joke, can you? You MUST have known I was kidding about the typo, right? "Studnet!" HAH! It sounds like an elite underground force bent on capturing attarctive young men and valiant young horses...HAH!

I think you enjoy voicing your opinion as a fact. That is a wonderful strategy for speeches to win support.

Oh yeah? I think you're too serious! You take everything I say seriously if I have not plastered it with jk's and then you blame me for being too sensitive to criticism. I was just imitating your behavior so you wouldn't fart on me.



I shall end this post with the words that define my experience here!

It's not unusual to be loved by everyone!
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone!

[Fierce Deity]

Now, now, lets not all fight....

[chaos master]

I just felt that I had to defend myself. Iconoclast himself advocates this.

[Fierce Deity]

I just felt that I had to defend myself. Iconoclast himself advocates this.
Well, I don't think there should be any reason to defend yourself...

Every one needs to just stop insulting each other.. jeez

Now, say it with me....OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMM....

[chaos master]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMm mm.......

[Fierce Deity]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMm mm.......
Now, release your chi, repulse the monkey(-Heavyweights)

[chaos master]

*opens wrong bin and releases ki*
*destroys universe in energy blast*

Oh well, I tried. Off Topic, we are. *is shot by Iconoclast*

[Iconoclast]

I have much purpose, and I leave an indelible mark on all you fools! A lot of the things you say in this post are highly unsupported. Just keep that in mind. With your terminology, what's an elegy? A requiem? An iconoclast!?!

No, I agree with you fools. But if I didn't, that doesn't mean that your opinions can erase mine. ...? Bad search depth. Remember Dr. Martin Luther King? Martin Luther? GANDHI?? How about Rosa Parks? Harriet Tubman? My opinon has the potential to clobber you guys' one. Why did you mention all of those people and then mention crap about your potential? You have never clobbered me. As you keep making pointlessly wrong points, I will continue to disprove them until you take a wise hint to restore the subject of this thread. You better watch yourself! *Baron Samedi laughs*

You drive me crazy, hoo, hoo!! (That is a song.)

To understand my comedy, you must have an acute taste. I see. Just FYI: I don't lick my ***. So I'm afraid that none of us are sensing the 'taste' in what you say. To that level of flexibility to lick down there, I cannot condescend. Humor is not always "laugh out loud," but it is capable of being appreciated nonetheless. True. As I said, I don't have much of a problem with it. But there's something looney going on your head that makes you say strange stuff like that, and it's far opposite of autism.

Can't take a joke, can you? That depends if it's a joke or not. Judging by comedy, I am used to being able to tell. I don't see what's funny about a typo correction; they happen all the time. You MUST have known I was kidding about the typo, right? "Studnet!" HAH! It sounds like an elite underground force bent on capturing attarctive young men and valiant young horses...HAH! ............OOOOOOOOOOOKaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

I think you enjoy voicing your opinion as a fact. That is a wonderful strategy for speeches to win support. Too bad no one can hear your voice except me. FD's no sheep. So why not baa aaa aaa aaack off? Actually, if you really think about it, there is nothing to support about joking criticizingly about something one says. To win support, you have to type your opinion, one that someone else will agree with. Why don't you show me some strategy in chess; then I can see your 'potental'?

Oh yeah? I think you're too serious! Certainly, he had far too many weaknesses to use my power.... You take everything I say seriously if I have not plastered it with jk's and then you blame me for being too sensitive to criticism. This is not true. I am not offended by your jokes as long as I know they are your jokes. Too sensitive to criticism? Don't remember that one...I remember saying you were too sensitive to something, I THINK. I was just imitating your behavior so you wouldn't fart on me. You cannot understand my behavior. Your are imitating yourself, which requires some serious self thought.

I shall end this post with the words that define my experience here! It's not over until the moderator closes the thread! JK, leave it open so we can finish talking about the 'money'. I don't seriously expect this thread to be closed for any reason ever.

It's not unusual to be loved by everyone!
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone!

[Fierce Deity]

If yo guys do not want this thread closed, then let's listen to Iconoclast and get back to talking about the money.

As for your battle, Iconoclast and CM, while I don't condone it, if you want to continue, please do so in the SNR topic...

[Iconoclast]

Now, now, lets not all fight....Oh, come, now. We're not angry at each other, are we, CM?

Joking side: What's that? You wanna fight? You wanna take this outside? (Ehhh...sure, if you want.) We need to have a talk at the Smash server!

[Fierce Deity]

Oh, come, now. We're not angry at each other, are we, CM?

Joking side: What's that? You wanna fight? You wanna take this outside? (Ehhh...sure, if you want.) We need to have a talk at the Smash server!
really? I'm going to the server then... Lets play chess or something...

[Iconoclast]

If yo guys do not want this thread closed, then let's listen to Iconoclast and get back to talking about the money.

As for your battle, Iconoclast and CM, while I don't condone it, if you want to continue, please do so in the SNR topic...Oh, sorry. What say you to my suggestion from before? Everyone seems to have ignored it.

[Fierce Deity]

Nobody is in the smash server....

[chaos master]

If I type less, Iconoclast will have less to say!
I don't want to fight Iconoclast, but he treats most of my opinions like they are meaningless and sees himself as better. He also says that he is the destined winner of all arguments with me, which insults my intelligence. Whatever happened to "You have the knowledge of 1,000 sheep!" In the charismatic moderator thread? I suppose what is not part of us does not concern us... I am just defending myself. Logic is not everything, you understand. It is a lot, but not everything. I have already said too much tho...................

OK! LET'S ALL GET RICH!

[chaos master]

Nobody is in the smash server....
Acute observation. It's weird, isn't it? I think the "main group" of SCD has migrated out of their home server and has been a nomadic tribe ever since. I think they moved on to a better server somewhere...

[chaos master]

Oh, come, now. We're not angry at each other, are we, CM?

Joking side: What's that? You wanna fight? You wanna take this outside? (Ehhh...sure, if you want.) We need to have a talk at the Smash server!
I thought you were angry at me!

[Iconoclast]

Nobody is in the smash server....
Hold on, baby, hold on!
I can't remember the rest of this song,
So I'm sure I won't take long!

Translation: I'm working on it! Have to reply to threads. CoolROM biz.

[Fierce Deity]

I thought you were angry at me!
See, Iconoclast, I told you...

[Iconoclast]

I thought you were angry at me!I was in the past. And you either seemed angry at me, or you wanted to make me angry intentionally, or both.

As for your previous post...that is not true. I do not think I am better than everyone. Will you stop assuming so much? I am a very fair and reasonable person with arguing here. I am honest, understanding of what is right, and this can be resolved. Everything you say about me is wrong. I don't believe logic is everything. There are two parts in an argument: Logic and understanding. In life, there is happiness and other forces like that that I am not destined for. Some things are better left unsaid, so that's enough arguing in this thread!

[chaos master]

Ok. *has the knowledge of 1,000 sheep*

I say, do not say 1,000*0 is still 0, because sheep are knowledgeable sentients.

[Iconoclast]

Ok. *has the knowledge of 1,000 sheep*

I say, do not say 1,000*0 is still 0, because sheep are knowledgeable sentients.1,000 * 0 = 0, and that is a quantitative observation. Sheep are smart, but how smart are 0 of them? Not as smart as if there's only 1 of them, right?

Tricky white clouds. You drive by them, you hear their criticizing your car.Baa.When you look away, they finish their evil!

[chaos master]

Sheep have generally the same intelligence no matter what their quantity is.

I would enjoy watching you driving around the country and shouting "EVIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!!!!!!!!" and various curse words out the window when you pass sheep.

Are you implying that we are evil? Yeah, you're right.

Sheep go "Mieerrrrrrh" or "BAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" or "brrrrrt *stink*" (heh)
I almost peed my pants writing that last one.:)

[DarthBrady]

oh great, now a tread on the IQ of sheep. you guys are crazy :D

[pizzaman]

lol, "Pizzaman, the GREAT Member of WBF??" I see your creativity is phenomenal.

Yes thank you, thank you. :D

[pizzaman]

Yes, but we must play some SSB and Virtual Chess. If you had it your way we would only play 007 games... Anyhoo, with Jambog not being here, he wouldn't make an entirely good bookie...Iconoclast didn't express any interest in doing in and CM said he'd rather play. Now that I think about it, if it comes between playing or being bookie, I'd rather play. Maybe we should have two bookies so that at least one of the bookies is usually on and so that one bookie can play by betting with the other bookie? But seriously, DO NOT make this currency earnable my merely posting, because then people will just flame random threads to get their money. You should get an allowance, as it were, each day at the end of the day if you recieved no warnings. So there would have to be an official way to warn people...And I like Iconoclast's I dea of getting this currency for helping people and doing things and even for moderating. Maybe moderators should get a higher allowance...?
No posting is the only way. No one posts spam if the mod can stop it. Giving 'allowance' won't be good.
And FD, only one bookie! No offense of anything, but you keep pushing this. If you want to be bookie ask admin, do not post it here, as he will decide.

[pizzaman]

This is how the system works, the admin might change a few things though;

You earn 'X' amount of CRB ( CoolROM bucks ) for every post.
You can 'donate' that money if you wish. To bet you will have to donate money to the bookie with a quick message about the bet. A 'donate' button must be installed.
We can also have a shop you you guys want, IDK what we would buy though.
ONE BOOKIE! Two would be confussing, and bets would be lost. Have one bookie, and the admin chooses. So if some of you guys wants to be bookie, ask admin.
In the other forum, mods can give themselves, and others, money if they want. IDK for what reason, but no one should missuse this if the admin allows it.

[pizzaman]

oh great, now a tread on the IQ of sheep. you guys are crazy :D
Correct! This thread is getting off topic. :nono:
Admin: have you got any leads?

[yuyu]

the 3rd one is really good.
mods can use the "money" to give users who answer questions uploads games etc.

[pizzaman]

Yea, but it's just going to be for fun, so it should just be for each reply they post.

[yuyu]

en,surly not for fun, if you use "the money" correctly, it will encorage users~

[pizzaman]

en,surly not for fun, if you use "the money" correctly, it will encorage users~
Well what I mean for fun, is that you get it for free. You don't have to upload anything, since people probably wouldn't do it for that. If admin needs help though, I would be glad to upload some ROMs for him. I think he has it all covered though.

[Fierce Deity]

Lol, You must really think I'm pushing multiple bookies, lol. I was merely suggesting it so that way there would be a greater chance of one being online. That's all. But if there is only one bookie, I would not want to be that person, because I would want to play games and bet and stuff, as opposed to taking bets. Also, I defend my allowance thing. In addition to getting money for being helpful, you should also get money(albeit a smaller amount) for logging on and not causing trouble. It should not be based on posts alone or people will just post to say the last post in any random thread.(which no offense intended pizzaman, I notice you do a lot)

[pizzaman]

I do post last in threads a lot. This is because I do NOT like getting ignored. I do not want to imply that I'm ignoring posts, so I do post last a lot. I don't do it if it's useless though, only if I would reply in real life. I'm a social person, what can I say.
And about that allowance thing, I don't like it. People would not post spam if mods stoped that. I can't believe you mods! Just kidding, everyone is doing a good job, but there should be more stickness. Getting money if you posts would make people more active too. Getting 'allowance' would not.

Yes, but to get the allowance, you would have to log on and view posts.... Also, if they get it for posting, then they would just post random crap. We can't catch them all, and it would be nice if we could prevent having to catch them.
And maybe you could get a days allowance if you post, say 15 times in a day. So that way you will be encouraged to post, just not repeatedly because you won't get extra money for extra posts.

Yes we can catch them all, if we moderate! And that plan sound more difficult then just getting money after every post. What is the problem with the original plan? None! Like my teacher always said, "Don't fix it if it's not broken."
CM, you really need to use those banners, I know I spam too sometimes. It's becasue others get off topic. I do too, but if you started posting them, it would be easier for everyone.

So, wait. You think that getting money after each individual post is easier to do than getting money once at the end of the day if they meet certian requirements? wow.

These requirements could be like, they posted 15 times today.

They caused no problems.

They were not warned, etc.

Think of more!

That would mean keeping tabs on people. It would definately be more work for the admin, and for no use. If need money for a bet, they couldn't get any until the next day! It would waste more time to install, and would be a bigger waste of time to use.

It would be like the post system. If a modertor reports you, then you will not get points. There can be a check box or something. And you can uncheck it. That is why evry1 here now should start with some money, for fun. There could also be a daily post counter. So, if you have 15 posts on your daily post thing, and your box remains checked, you get money.

[Iconoclast]

I gave you all my suggestions. Since no one has remarked them but ignored them, I'm finished with this thread for some time now.

[Fierce Deity]

I gave you all my suggestions. Since no one has remarked them but ignored them, I'm finished with this thread for some time now.
I didnt see them....

[Iconoclast]

Aha! Spammer. Now give me money, boy!

On the same nanosecond, FD? You are very...considering. But not that it's not possible, so this is a good thing, of course.

I was thinking there should be separate money count paramaters: One for NetPlay victories, one for CoolROM forums 'justice', one for...knowing the quadratic equation or something, and a total of all money. In the NetPlay department, however, it should work like this in a new hypothetical NetPlay forum:

User posts new thread on a NetPlay challenge, such as a tournament. States maximum number of challengers desired, which challengers, and when he/she gives up waiting for challengers if ever and awaits the hard deletion of the thread.
All other users who want to join the challenge post almost anything they want once to confirm that they wish to participate.
Once the maximum number of challengers is met, the user who started the thread starts an agreement on scoring for money (how much if you place first place, second place, etc.) if the challenge is complex.
After agreement on a scoring system for that one challenge, all participating users repost the final scoring system in case the user posting the final scoring system secretly modifies it after it's been agreed on.
The challenge starts. Hosting user may cancel at any time, or change the time the challenge starts.
All users report the results of the challenge to confirm that they all agree on who is given how many points.
The moderator closes or deletes the thread to confirm that the money has been added. If the money has not been added, the user PMs the moderator about it. And if they react unfairly, the administrator is sent a private message.These are my suggestions on getting money from the NetPlay way of doing it.

[Fierce Deity]

Yes, I agree with you for the most part, those are good suggestions.

[pizzaman]

Iconoclast, you have some good ideas, but I don't completely like all of them. As for FD, you need to realize, that it's not easy to install such a mod. If you installed what you are saying it would really be harder for admin. Think about it. And why do you not like the money mod? If it's because of the spam you think forums will get, then you're wrong. Not many more people would spam, and if they did mods would clean it up.

Well, two things. One, it is going to be a pain to do all of this anyways. If we are going to do it, we may as well do it right. Secondly, we can only mod certain forums. The only people regularly on are me, you, CM, and Iconoclast. So, only those forums would be necessarily protected. Unless, admin gave the mods more power. But I do agree with most of your ideas pizza. You and Iconoclast both have some good ones.

[pizzaman]

I do agree that most forums are not moderated, but that's just because CoolROM doesn't have many members. It does have a lot, but not a lot of willing members. At least no willing to post enough. Most members that sign up just ask one question and abandom thier account. If we could shomehow advertise, we would get more people to join. The admin is always busy and cannot advertise that good. Tell all your friends and tell them to tell their friends, that is all I can say to solve that problem.

Maybe we could all be moderators of all forums? Or, to a lesser extent, just multiple forums.

I thought about that, but then if two mods would disagree, there would be chaos! If you get my drift.
