GameTavern Doubloons
 

See the "Dblns" field under your post count? That shows how many doubloons you have in your account. Doubloons are small gold coins that we'll be using as our currency (okay so no real gold coins). Here's the way you can earn doubloons:

Winning GTRAC Tournaments: 300
Making insightful posts: 25,50,75 or 100
Winning contests: 300
Extra Effort: 25,50,75,100
Post#: 300 for every 500 posts.
Referrals(will be explained later): 100 for each
Survivor or other major contest: 15,000 dblns

All transactions will take place in the "Treasure Trove" forum. If you reach another 500 post incriment and wish to claim another 300 dblns, the TT forum is where you would do so. Moderators have the power to add and subtract doubloons from your account, and they will do so for praises and warnings, respectively. Kitana85 will handle all other Dbln issues.

What you can spend your doubloons on:


Custom rank for one month: 1,000
Permanent Custom: 5,000
Changing current custom: 200
Mod for three days: 1,000
Entry fee for contests: 50
Rent for special forum: 200 per month

Taken away for warnings: 25, 50,75, or 100 depending on severity.

Everyone will be started off with 100 dblns in your account. I know most of you have a post count greater than 500, so you'll be getting your extra doubloons for that. Kitana85 will go through all the active users and add the appropriate amount of dblns. If she misses you, or you don't get your 100 to start off with, make a claim for them in the Treasure forum. It will take a few days to get everyone up to where they should be, so be patient.


About the "Black Project" forum, I intend to steer it towards some rather unusual topics. It will also act as a 2nd general forum. To access this forum costs 200 dblns per month. In addition, you must have at least 1000 posts and have been a member for at least 6 months. Make all requests for access to Kitana. She'll pick a single day of the week on which to submit the names. This will make it easier to keep track of everyones' "lease" on the forum.

Sounds good Neo! This all sounds very interesting... And cool.

Awesome!!! :D

I also think it sounds neat...

This is quite an insightful post, eh? *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

..... :unsure:

Those kind of awards will be left to the discretion of the moderators. I won't expect them to post and let you know every single time they touch your account, but if you notice your account increasing then you must be doing something good: :D

Sounds neat. So does that mean I get 15,000 dblns for winning Survivor or do I get gipped because this just so happened to arise shortly after the contest was over :mad:.

:D

Just incase your curious as to why none of the staff has dblns, we dont get any.

Remember everyone...no matter HOW many doubloons you have, I'll always have ONE MORE THAN YOU (just check)

Hmm....this "black project" forum is highly reminiscient of FYEO back at NDose...:hmm:

Hey Neo, don't I get some extra Dbl's or something for designing the boards?

*gets slapped in the dome with a kipper*

*runs away*

Edit: There you go.

Wait a minute…that isn't a number…and yet somehow I feel I've been tricked…:hmm:

JK ;)

EDIT: Hmm....maybe I shouldnt have said that...Dosnt reveal anything, yet it tells you what its not...And I like to keep secrets.

Must get permanent custom rank!!! :errr:

Well I'll give you a choice since I haven't mailed the game yet. So what's it going to be? Doubloons or Super Monkey Ball? :D

tsk tsk tsk


that is soooooooooo mean!!!!!

And I got it all on tape! Hahahahaha! Now, your the richest guy in GT and I know a secret. Let's talk... :D

Thats an easy choice. Save 50 dollars on a cool game, or get 15,000 virtual dblns...

gee that would be a hard choice for me :rolleyes:

;) :D weee

Dang Neo always foiling my plans for total GT dominatio..... I mean uhh plans, yeah just plans :sneaky:. And you know the answer is Super Monkey Ball :mad:. And after you give me the bloomin game, give me the bloomin doubloons :mad2:.

:p
j/k

*walks away mumbling*

Ding dang Neo always cheating me every which way. Knew he'd cheat me out of this too. I'll show him. Thinks he's so big.

j/k :D

This dobloun thingy rocks!

Wo Ho! Money!


This is sweet!

Gunna have the most dblns too eh? That will take a lot of great topics.But you write a lot *cough*too much*cough* anyway...that shouldnt be hard...

Oh one other thing, if you want to make wagers with fellow members on whatever, feel free to do so. You can also make bets on online matches of somesort. Just report the results in the Treasure forum.

And the mystery is over.........

Who's the richest man in GT? Must wager...

heh okay, SMB it is.

Out of curiosity, would any amount of doubloons be a replacement for a free game? I'm hoping to cut down on costs in the future by replacing most material prizes with doubloons.

Im the richest *see dbln count* But I dont think im allowed to wager with you...

What if I promise to keep that edited secret, eh? :stud:

Hehe gambling, this forum rocks!

So if we lose a bet we post in the treasure forum?

Do we go there to spend them too?

Yep, everything in the Treasure forum.

:hmm: :zzz:

Heads up, everybody. I'm offering another prize for you to spend your doubloons on.

I have an Insider account at IGN (one which I plan on renewing when it runs out since it's only $26 or so). For 1,000 doubloons, you can buy my password for a month. After the time has passed, I'll change my password.

Of course, if you already have an Insider account, you shouldn't pay any attention to this. But if you don't, you may want to check out Insider to see what you're missing.

Thats a good idea.......I'll probably just save them so I can be a temporary mod...

*cough*rip off*cough*

Forget temporary Moderator, I want a custom name...permenantly!!!

I beg to differ... It sounds kinda gay... well not that bad.. some of it is a good idea.. but it just makes me feel queer.... I man how old are we?

You sound kinda gay.. do we judge you? Oh wait, we do... Speaking of age, aren't you the youngest member here at GT?

:D

That was kinda impolite

Loadhoward, shut ya mouth.

Calm down, folks...and LH, quit bein' normal...:D
