Doubloon system & Price list

Neo · 01-25-2002, 03:40 PM

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: 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.

What you can spend your doubloons on:

Custom rank for one month: 1,000
Permanent Custom: 5,000
Changing current custom: 200
Entry fee for contests: 50
Black Project Forum: 500
IGN Insider for one month: 2,000

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.

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 you must have 500 dblns. In addition, you must have at least 1000 posts and have been a member for at least 6 months.

Kitana.. I think you need your "Mortal Combatant" back, since you're not the account anymore

GameMaster · 02-20-2002, 09:53 PM

2900 more doubloons and a custom rank will be mine!!!

Revival · 02-21-2002, 03:30 PM

Bah, everyone had to pay for their custom rank.. mine was free because I won it.. but I have to pay 200 doubloons to change it.. oh well..

GameMaster · 02-21-2002, 08:49 PM

That's too bad.

You must feel like you've earned nothing in life. And what can you show to be proud of?

I asked him to change it a few days ago...I guess he will when he gets around to it.

You can add Insider for a month to that list. For 2,000 doubloons, you can buy my password to IGNinsider.

Revival · 02-25-2002, 01:34 PM

Oooh.. coolness.

*thinks about next purchase*

2,000 Doubloons=Free IGNinsider Account

How much forever? I guess if I got the password I could just change it so it would become "mine."

Revival · 02-28-2002, 09:38 AM

Dammit! Now if that is true, Xantar will take the option off the list.. stop finding flaws in stuff like that.

But I think since Xantar owns the account, he'll be able to change the password.

Nice try, but it won't work. When I registered, I gave them a question that only I know the answer to as well as the answer to that question. This is something that you can't change. It's not even something that you can see by logging into my account. So if my password suddenly doesn't work, they will ask me the question I already have set, and I'll give the answer. Then they'll tell me what my current password is.

Also, abusing access privileges to someone else's account be it an e-mail account or server space is a bannable offense. I really wouldn't try it if I were you.

Don't worry, I was just being a fun-loving sport playing a little light hearted joke. Look! Mr. No Hard Feelings is at our picnic! He wants me to tell you that he says their is no evil here, only easy-going mischief. Let's have cake and play on the grass!

how come i don't have 100 dubloons? u said that u start with 100, and i have none...boohoo.

Revival · 03-16-2002, 10:51 AM

The doubloons aren't automatic.. they have to be added by a moderator.

You'll get them sooner or later.
