In my opinion, this is all still pretty weak. Post for a while and you receive the privilege of having your name in italics? Ok, if you really get excited about that kind of thing, don't let me stop you. But sooner or later, everybody who wants fancy displays for their names will have it and then they'll have nothing to do with their doubloons.

I predict that by July, nobody is going to care about the doubloon system. After all, nobody cared about the previous doubloon system either. It's just wrong-headed to base these things on posts or by receiving them f rom your buddies. I liked it better when such things as custom titles and access to particular forums was handed out by the staff...for merit.

Again, if you do like the system, I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. It's nice of Neo to spend the time to come up with this system, but I still just don't care.
