Hey Guys, I've been thinking, is there any way we could do something with our points when we have reached a certain amount? For example, for every million, you wynn 100000 or something? or, you wynn something else? what ya think folks? Let us know. I'd be interested too see what ya think. See if we could make this possible. Sazel.
Hey. sounds good to me. Good idea!
I mean, this would give people an insentive too play the games etc, so they would wynn more points, so they'd get the reward.
I agree. Maybe they can be used to buy things in a way, like you can buy a house and buy furniture and stuff for it. I know on that Luv2bablyndi site has a pets feature, but for that, you have to be there everyday to feed it and everything, and for them, the points are based on how many times you post on the boards. But with a house, you could get on whenever you had time and choose the house and buy it and things for it.

I like the virtual house thing. lol but aren't the points just pretty to look at? rotfl
if there weren't peopel who cheated to get points, I would of been willing to sponser something, but I refuse to do that when people easily win points like that
could you maybe only make the valid points in the games where you can't cheat? like the points from black jack, hi-lo, and blingo?
then we'd simply have to take away points for anagrams all together, and I know that would piss everybody off a lot more then the april fools joke we played on you all!
Is there any way to figure out who's cheatting and deal with them? Or am I too naive?
I tell you what you have to do. sWe have to do IP tracking. Find out the IP addresses of the people who we think cheat, then deleete there accounts. It may make them mad, but it serves them right. BTW, that was a great joke in my opinion.
Ride man, its not all that simple. I'm not all that sure, but if they don't have the same IP they use to connect, it'll be impossible to block them, deleting their accounts yes, but not blocking the IP of someone who doesn't have one IP they always use.
well yeh and it's all very well deleting the account of people you *think* are cheating, but you can't actually prove that they are. i mean different people have different ways of playing the games such as anagrams, yes it is true that some use bots to play the games, but some use say, anagram dictionaries and some don't consider that cheating. you can't delete accounts purely based on assumption.
which is why we can't do anything with points. anagrams makes them invalid now. I refuse to go on an anagram cheating witch hunt. people are free to play the games in what ever fashion they choose
Liam's right, rightly or wrongly, if people have the need to cheat, well, technically there's not much we can do about it. I personally think it's very sad that someone should feel the need to cheat to gain points which actually are not of any use. If you start offering insentives for points, then you start giving insentives for cheating.
True Guys, it was just a surgestion.
aw yeh course and there's nothing wrong with suggestions, that's why we have a suggestion board ... after all no one knows when they're going to come up with an idea that might be a good one - how were the greatest inventions invented after all ..
Thing is, we also can't go after some of these cheaters for another reason. Some of them are premium. So, that's another reason that we can't go after them. Afterall, what's more important to our beloved admin then people who are actually willing to pay for cheating on a game? Yea for admin! *2 thumbs up*!
Yeah, right!
but why can't we make two point pools? like all the points you get from anagrams goes into a anagram points pool and all the other game's points go into a general points pool? Just a thought
also, can't we give points to our friends, say if they don't have any? i was stuck with 0 points once and coudnt't play games like high low where you have to bet.
well a topic to that effect has already been raised andI think the consensus was that the whole issue of earning points would then go out the window, after all, you wouldn't have to earn them, you could just sting your friends who have lots for some.
Yeah, no points for friends. That's pretty much been decided!
As for the 2 pool idea, that's actually a pretty good diea. We'll have to see what we can do about it! Thanks for the suggestion!
I think the earning a virtual pet idea is really cool. And about cheating, maybe certain people are just really good at anagraming. No way to prove if somebody is using a dictionary or wordsmith or whatever, except I guess asking them what certain words mean. If they're cheating they'll know how good they really are at it.
hmmm, I think when someone has 1 anagram in in one minute, and about 50 like 2 minutes later, yeah, I'd think they're cheating wouldn't you?
I still fail to see what someone might achieve by cheating. after all, you can only achieve the twice your score in points once a week, anyone can get 10 anagrams and get 100 points, apart from that it's just status, and anyone who feels the need to cheat purely to end up on a status board really should get out more ..
for god sake! Let's drop this now shal we? We'll see what we can do about doing stuff with the points, and when we find something, we'll put a topic in about it, and we'll see what you all think of it. In the meantime, if you don't hear from us about doing anything with the points, it's probably because we don't have anything right now! In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming, and we'll see what we can do about implementing them if they seem reasonable.
