View Full Version : "Credit" Program!



Mr President

Ok this is very long, but well worth the read..

With the arcade system going well, i have decided to put in a "credit"
system. Basically it's a money program. Certain user groups, ie prem acct
members will have a free pass to the arcade, but others will have to pay
to play. You will earn money by posting and doing many other things.

Certain jobs ie mods/dev group ect ect will get a weekly paycheck deposited
into there accounts. Others have to gain by posting and other ways.

This is a very powerful and in depth program. It even has credit scores.
If you take out a loan and don't pay it back then your credit goes down.
If it goes low enough, then you are put in the bad credit section and will
not be able to play in the arcade till your credit score comes up.

There is so much to this program that it will take some time to figure it
all out. But i will post a list of what it can do.. the list is long lol..

It's not up and running yet. i'm 99% done. Just waiting on some files to
be sent to me to hook this program to our arcade program. But i wanted
to give you guys a sneak preview of what is coming.. I hope to have it
completed in the next day or so.. I could just manually adjust the templates
but i would need to adjust 26 of them, and well i have had enough of doing
that tonight.. So i'm waiting for them to send me the files and i can simply
overwrite each one and it will take seconds compared to hours. lol

Some of these things don't pertain to you, but i wasn't going to go through
and pick out certain things.. So you will see what i see...

Reward or Punish Users with New Rates and Abilities How to Gain Credits:

-Log In
-Posting
-Filling out 4 or more fields in member profile
-Referrals (get a 100 credit bonus for making sure ppl you refer state
your name.

-Getting a paycheck.. These are automically deposited in your account each Friday.

- Winning the Lottery. Each day a lottery is automatically ran and the
winner gets it all... (minus taxes of course.. yes there is a tax system in
this lol )

- Someone donates you some of his/her credits

- depositing money into your bank account. You will earn 6% interest on
your money every 30 days.. Max 10k (of course there is a tax for this
and even stiffer for early withdrawl :p )

- Winning the jackpot or a tournament in the arcade.




How to lose Credits:

-Having a post deleted. Let's say you make 10 credits for posting, and
a mod has to delete it then you will lose 15 credits. Making you lose
5 more then you started with.

-Getting a red/yellow card issued against you.

- Cheating in the arcade ( pretty much a ban if you do)

-Taking out a loan from the bank and not repaying it on time. This will make
your credit rating go down and you won't be able to borrow anymore
money till your score comes up. You can set up auto payments so you don't have to remember when to make them.. (highly suggested)

(This is a fully automated system. It runs all by itself. Some things i can
change, but most of it i can't.. So if you mess around and take out a loan
and don't pay it back, then you lose! Nobody can reset it for you. It will
be up to you to get yourself out of poverty and pay back the loan to get
your credit score back up. So be careful how you spend your credits.)

- Spamming the forums to make easy money will result in you losing 75%
of your credits after your 3rd offense. 100% on your 4th!!!





There is more, and as i adjust them i will fill in the blanks.. But for now this
will give you an idea of how it works.. I will also let you all know once i set how much you make per post ect ect......

Mr President
10-17-2007, 23:08
oh yea.. i'm doing this cause we are having an issue with prem acct
members not being able to play in tournaments. It's a problem with the
main user group and the game not recognizing the secondary user group.

So this will take care of that...

Plus, it's really cool and i think it will add a little more fun to the forums.. :dblthumbup:

Wow this is a very new idea, way to go Mr. P, Confusing as purgatory (my way of censoring) but new.

Mr President
10-18-2007, 00:19
It's not that confusing.. Once it's started you will get it easy..

Each time you see credit it really means money.. :unsure:

looks good MR P

Mr President
10-18-2007, 02:27
credit is now called Dollars

didn't like the credit name lol

Satan666
10-18-2007, 02:32
can I use these "dollars" to buy a prem, i'll spare 10 or them for a full year, just kidding... i guess this isn't too bad.

Mr President
10-18-2007, 02:58
lol no sorry.. for that i will need real money :p

but this does have a feature where people can spend real money for
a ton more credits.. When it's 100% done i'll load that option up too..

Ok, well i have ran some tests on it and all seems to be well. It is not
linked to the arcade yet, but i'm going to leave it up and running for you
all to mess around with.

When it's time i will reset the program and we all will start from scratch.

You will see that tomorrow you will get paid. I broke it down so we all
get payed daily instead of weekly. Figured that would help so we all
can play games a little more instead of blowing our paychecks in one
day lol..

Reg members- 50.00 a week - 7.14 per day

Global Mods/mods/Dev Team Leader- 150.01 per week - 21.43 per day

Editors/Dev Team Members/Prem Acct members- 100.03 per week - 14.29per day

Admins- 300.02 per week -- 42.89 per day

Yes i know, they are not perfect rounded totals but the program won't
work if i use the exact amounts.. that is why it's over a little..

This is just what you will make per week no matter what you do. Posting
and doing other things give you more money too..

These rates may change.. This is only a trial period for right now. i will
make them fit better once i have this program linked to the arcade..

Mr President
10-18-2007, 03:05
oh and please, if you get an error code for anything please send me
a copy of what it says.. If you just tell me you had a problem i can't
trace it back and fix it.. i need a copy of what it says..

thanks

No, you will get paid for the job you would make the most at.. (Moderator)

It's not linked to the arcade yet.. No point in sending him credits when he
can't use them yet. I just left it open so you all could check it out a little
and get use to to it.. Take out some loans, pay them back, buy lottery tickets
ect ect... When it's all ready i will rest everything and start it fresh.

ok, please tell me why I should make deposits:


Minimum savings of 500 Credits required for 6% interest every 30 days. Deposits require pending time of 1 days before interest accrues, or a 5% early withdrawal fee applies. Deposits may be moderated. Maximum savings of 10,000 Credits allowed. Transaction fee of 2% applies on all transfers.

I loose 2% with deposits
I loose 2% with withdrawl
I get 6% interest but loose 4%, so nett 2% profits monthly... that will not make me rich!! :thumbdown:

Missionary
10-23-2007, 15:01
2% profit is a start, if you take a 5k loan and just stick it in the bank that means your making abit of money right?

I think you only get charged 2% when you make the deposit. You shouldn't
get charged when you withdraw it.. Unless you make an early withdraw
then you are charged 5%

We could boost the savings interest up some if you all want.. Maybe to
10%?

ranger2112
10-23-2007, 15:32
charging to deposit is a bit crazy. dont up rate of interest, just kill deposit fee

Mr President
10-23-2007, 15:39
It is a little crazy to charge people to deposit money or withdraw money
so i have changed it to 0. There is no longer a service fee for this service.

The early withdraw fee still applies though.

ranger2112
10-23-2007, 15:42
woohoo..someone listened to one of my suggestions

you go ahead and try that theory Vinnie. ;) I won't laugh at you or anything when you go to pay back your loan and realize that the loan interest fee is larger then the interest you gained in the bank. lol

ranger2112
10-23-2007, 18:31
u dont think it will work out for him??? lol

ooga booga
10-23-2007, 19:54
u dont think it will work out for him??? lol

Unless Mr. P screwed up the percentages on loan rates and interest rates in the savings bank :laugh: But if Vinnie's theory were true in real life, I'd go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning, take out a $10,000 loan and then tell the same clerk to then deposit that same loan into my savings account. lol
