Ideas on New Options for your Votes and EXP

(1/2) > >>

Pieh:
It has been a long time since I've come anywhere near spending all my votes in a day. So, I want to start this thread for ideas and other options that use up votes (and maybe some that award xp?) Let's begin with a few ideas I had.

- Donate Votes / Gambling with Votes - Some of the new (low level) users will lack the votes necessary to vote on everything they would like to. What about some sort of Donate Vote options? Ideas related: Being able to donate a vote or two to someone who requests them would be a nice feature. Vote Lottery? I love gambling, so I have to suggest some way to put votes into a pool during the day (Buying a ticket, Limit 1/day?) and have a winner chosen at random, from the Buyers, to receive the extra votes for that day? What do you think about giving out bonus xp for using all of the votes you won in a day? Or, if we want to go for an extreme, gambling for xp; with votes? or with xp itself?

- Games? -I think some simple text-based games to play with votes and earn xp would be a good idea. Maybe a "Select a Treasure Chest" TYpe game, where the chest opens to a submission and you get bonus xp for voting on it? Or we could have some of our users write up a few choose-your-path text based adventures? Cost Votes to play, earns xp for checkpoints reached? Maybe? No?

Well... That's all I really have right now. Mull it over and see whatever you can come up with. These aren't things I'm asking for anytime soon, but ideas for the future. Happy gaming, everyone.

I was trying to think of a way to make it better too, vote-wise.

I was thinking that 5 votes could be the magic number to get extra XP. So if you have 20 or 5, you would get the XP but those with more would just get multiples. Use all 20 votes you get a 4x XP multiplier.

Now, on to your idea. I loves it.

Not so sure about the donate part though. Maybe a total revamp of how votes are distributed/tracked.

-Use votes for random XP. Say for every 3 votes + comments you do you get to use 1 vote for random amount of XP between X and X.

-Treasure chest is a fun idea! Would want to save each one maybe so that the one that reveals the treasure chest gets a chunk of XP but everybody else is able to get some extra too.

Great ideas, I will have more. This fits in with the quest idea that I kept stumbling on because I didn't know what to do. This is a great start to get something like that going.

Absolutely love the idea!!!

How about this? Chance at extra XP for the cost of 1 vote.

Will make a max amount a day or just let you do it till you are at 0 votes. Not sure it matters.

IT DOES NOT GIVE XP YET. You won't lose votes either. It is just for goofing off at the moment.

It will eventually pay out XP for 3 of a kind or better. (No, there is no full house, straight, yahtzee or whatever, just 3,4,5 of kind that earns you a bonus....at least for now.

It's neat. A little weird, but neat. I haven't checked it out at home yet, but on my laptop the dice look huge and to reroll I have to refresh. I don't see a button for playing again, not sure if that's me or there isn't one.

Using Firefox 3.6.13 on a crappy old Windows XP lappy, if that helps.

Strolen:
hehe

I have a 50% and a 25% size of those dice too. Just put up the big ones.

Right now just got the barebones up, haven't decided exact implementation yet.  Reroll....maybe. As each roll will cost a vote I am not sure I want everybody going in there and just dumping all their votes so easily. Might make you work at least a little to ensure it is not an accident or I am feeding a gambling addiction.
