Marketplace and HalBucks!

#1

Dave

Dave

There are two new tabs at the top of the page. One you may have already seen - Triple Triad (TT) - but the other one is there for fun and to help with TT. Market. So what is the Market? Simply put, it's a place you can spend HalBucks, which you accrue by posting, etc. What can you get? Glad you asked.

In the Marketplace you can change your name, change the color of your user name, buy custom titles, etc. There will be a monthly lottery that you can buy tickets for that will give HalBucks. Contests will be moving to a Contest sub-board and entries will be worth more HalBucks than normal posts. This should encourage participation in the contests.

Other things you can do with the Market:

1) Buy gifts for others to show off.
2) Steal HalBucks from other users (each attempt costs money and there's a base 15% success rate)
3) Gamble to get more HalBucks. No, this does not hook into the Gameroom. Yet.
4) Don't want people to steal from you? Buy protection.

Soon this will have more functionality but for right now enjoy the basic stuff.

And for a limited time only, post in this thread and I'll give you 100 HalBucks.

I'm still setting prices but I want to make sure that it costs a bunch to change names. And this time it'll give me a log of who purchased so I can track who changes what.

And yeah, some of the things that used to be free (titles is the only thing I can think of) now cost a small bit o imaginary money.

And once you get into the gambling thing you can win $$ so it's not all tied into posting, which is why I added the HalBucks thing.

If Dave's new user title is any indication, yes it will. Not sure how I feel about that. I can see it being a fun little novelty, but I also see the potential for abuse. Of course, the price for changing it back yourself is rather marginal, so practically speaking it ain't no thang.

I'm sorry! I'm traveling Europe and I don't have time to update a [STRIKE]fake[/STRIKE] totally real and sincere blog on sex advice while I [STRIKE]go to museums, art galleries, cathedrals, a few bars[/STRIKE] go to nightclubs and have crazy excellent sex with which I can add insight into my future columns.

I will either try to find some time to sit down and write an entry from my friend's laptop, or I'll make you suffer in curiosity until I get back to Canada.

Lo siento.

I lowered the cost to get into the gambling area from 250 HB to 50 HB. I did so for 2 reasons.

1) There's not that much to it.
2) It'll give you guys a chance to make some bucks.

And for $50.45 you can buy access to the Gambling area of the Marketplace. While there buy a lottery ticket for $10. Prize starts at $1000 and is determined randomly from the tickets purchased.

So far, gambling sucks. Sorry Dave. High card boned me 4 out of 4, and the payout on the matching one is incredibly disproportionate.

I thought Steal 25% means you steal 25% of the money of that person. But it's a 25% chance of succesfully stealing, isn't it?


#171

I thought it meant stealing 25% of the money, too. I thought all stealing was set at 15%.

I can set the costs/rewards for gambling. Should I raise the reward to say $79.95 for the matching one? And the high card does cheat. Every time I play it I lose 2 out of every 3 at least.

With the integration of halbucks and gambling, it seems the system can be abused to rapidly gain 1500 bucks. Just drain your money, go to the lobby page and receive complimentary 500 bucks, spin the fruit slots for 500, repeat until you win at least the x3 multiplier. Might want to consider lowering the amount received after losing everything, or raising the price of market items to above 1500.

Or not. I dunno. I do like being able to grab the 1500 card pack and instantly refill my money :)
