No comment. I'm pretty sure everyone can see what's going on here, and why I'm not going to help you.

In other words Drake, you're better off looking for help elsewhere.

And I laugh hearing a question about something like that.

I thought you were just kidding about that thing, Amphy! :P

So, could we get PsyBucks for say, creating a picture for the Error pages on the server...? :wink:

Quick question:
Can you have negative Psybucks? (by being a naughty little Psypokian)

That's because:

1. They're highly experienced in what they do.
2. He installed the cash mod and has the ability to give himself money.
3. BYE

Negative ammounts has been disabled. If you reach zero and you're "naughty", I'm sure some sort of other punishment will be in store for them.

Ok as a little introduction to tie us over until the full purpose of the PsyBucks is fully put in place, I have given the Gym Leaders, Elites and Frontier Brains (from now on in this post I'll just type FEG's) some PsyBucks to begin with.

The FEGs will be giving out PsyBucks to people who do something good on the forums. This can be anything from an insightful post to helping someone out.

FEGs: Please get rid of all your PsyBucks, you'll be given more later and you won't be disadvantaged at all.

EDIT: Fixed small problem: PsyBucks now appear under avatar :)

EDIT 2: DISLAIMER: PsyBucks are not legal tender and cannot be converted into any real currency. It is illegal to sell or trade PsyBucks to any other individual for anything with material value.

Yes, a donation is something you give to somebody else, and you lose it.

Edit: Btw, that means if you don't have anything, you cannot donate anything.

So I'm supposed to give them all away now? Sorry if this is a dumb question. :/

Yes, and Amphy said he would give you more later.



BTW:How do you earn "PsyBucks" because I see so many people with them that aren't Mods? :?:

I believe that your job as a Gym Leader is to look for posts of users that help out or otherwise make an insightful post, and reward them for your duties. Amphy will give you more so you can keep giving PsyBucks to deserving people, so you won't need to worry about running dry.

Oh, I just thought that we had to give them all away right away.

I think they're still working on that, but for right now, you have to get donations from FEGs. I think you get donations if you're helpful, or you win it. :D

Hopefully in the future this can help to reduce spam. Good idea Amphy, and good job too.

By the way,

Um *cough cough* this is ALOT like my forum PokeQuest

*cough cough* that is nothing like what we intend to use our cash mod for.
Kryten did NOT invent this, the cash mod idea was developed back in April 2003 by AbelaJohnB, as can be seen on the phpbb forum: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=94055

So no, you wouldn't be accusing Psypoke of copying when we used a free to use mod for the phpbb fyi. You would however be claiming that Kryten invented something that he did not.

No Amphy I ment that he created something LIKE this and so people wouldnt be accusing the two of us to be copying something that you guys created.

And I'm saying, no he didn't create it at all. Neither did we. It was invented back in 2003, the proof being in the link to the phpbb forums.

My first line in this thread was:
"Hi everyone, Just to let you know I have installed the cash mod on the forums."

As that line implies, we installed a mod already made. I never claimed to create the idea either. The way in which we use the idea however will be unique, and I haven't yet said how we plan to use it.

If you are getting confused over what happened with Drake before, it was the fact that he instantly goes to install the mod the second we do. This isn't stealing, as anyone is free to install the mod, however we get irked over the fact that people just want to copy whatever we do.

I dont think you understand what I am saying I am not being rude but When I said created I really meant just put it on the PokeQuest
and I was just stating that when you had Psybucks which I think will be a great idea that PokeQuest wasnt copying Psypoke when the psybucks came out
Im not saying anyone copied anyone Im just saying that we didnt copy you and you didnt copy us
And Im sure you will you the "money" system differently then PQ.
No hard feelings I should have posted all this in the first post
Sorry :(

In short, you were being paranoid.

Anyway, this new system is pretty sweet. It's an odd motivation to make you do good things and help others, make intelligent posts, etc. etc. Good idea, Amphy.

Please don't use this money-making system to excessively backseat moderate and/or raise your post count. GLs and FBs won't donate Psybucks for you in such circumstances. I'm just trying to make this as clear as possible, as everyone here is trying to complicate simple things.
