hello you know how you can log in to the site and earn points daily for logging in? Why can't you do the same for doing that via zonebbs by phone? also it would be cool if you can hear your point balance via phone to.

Hmm. I'm not against this idea, but unless they ever make it so you can play games on the phone, why would this really matter?

And really, is it that difficult to earn points? I mean, have google help you with trivia and bet max. Its not that diffcult. And even with the addition of raffles, the points are still next to pointless.

I agree with the original poster, though I don't see how that let's you earn more points.

As far as playing trivia for max points, and using google to find the answers, well, that works for now but could be fixed in a heartbeat by putting a time restriction on your response.

While we're on the subject, I got a black jack in black jack the other day, so the game subtracted my points and told me I lost. So, I guess the games have a mind of their own and may even read this topic.

Yeah. that has been a bug in Blackjack for quite some time now. quite a few people have brought it up before. also, totally agreed about the time restriction on Trivia. how does 30 seconds sound?

I kind of wonder, though, if that's why they made the bet max on trivia lower than any other betting game, because it's so easy. If they implimented a time restriction, to be fair, the bet max should be increased, in my opinion. Or, alternatively, leave the bet max the same, but maybe it could be like Word mastermind where if you answer correctly before a certain period of time, you could receive a bonus. Maybe 1000 if you answer within 30 seconds, 2000 if you answer within 20 seconds and 5000 if you answer in 5 seconds, or something like that. Just a possible way to reward those who know their trivia and aren't plugging the questions into google.

I don't like the idea of a "time limit" for responses in trivia. Also, I think there should be more ways to earn points.

Thirty seconds might be a little uhhhh pushy? How about a minute with the number of points you get decreasing as time goes bye. "You must remember this: a game is just a game, on that you can rely!"

Oops, sorry about that. Thought I was Humphrey Beaugart for a second there.

a minute is often plenty of time to plug a question into google. Technically that isn't wrong, since nowhere in the rules does it say you *must* answer without the aid of research, but it would be nice to have a little inscentive not to use a search engine to help you, if you can.
