So I think we should make the discussion of a potential forum currency a bit more formal:
From USoVietnam who kickstarted on discord:
Quote:Some opinions cuz I am bored: A forum currency system for TSP isn’t that unrealistic since there are some mybb plugins that allow you to create a complex currency system. Some customizations can be put in place to tune it to our liking. (Unless the design guy is really demanding, there shouldn’t be any touch to the code)
Newpoints would be a good plugin for this
Birdkeeper had some interesting Ideas on where this currency could be used for:
Quote:Well, there are quite a few things one can do, depending on how much work you want to put in
if it's for the forum, and you don't want to go overboard with what forum stuff can do
go the "easy" route: Cosmetics.
Borders around forum posts, borders around avatars, etc
if you don't mind adding more things to the forum...
you can start an interactive system, which will delve much deeper into superfluous things like:
making a sports team, spending the currency on players, jerseys, etc;
making a pet system, where you need the currency to get more pets, more food, etc;
some sort of shop for collectibles, or ns services, that you can spend your "money" on
as some general ideas
Roavin and Nakari liked the Idea of the team investing stuff.
TL;DR
Plugins exist to make complex currency models. If it isn't too fancy, it's going to be easliy implemted.
Investment options of the currency:
Players and Teams
Cosmetics on the forum
Sportsteams
Pets
Collectables
NS Services
