Lightbulb CyCredit Feedback Needed

Now that we've had the credit feature going for about a month I wanted to get some feedback on what everybody likes and dislikes about it. Obviously the betting board has been getting a work-out and I know a lot of people are running on very few credits right now, myself included, so I wanted to see what we could do to keep people involved.

Here are a couple quick ideas I have...

- Change weekly credit paycheck to a daily paycheck. If you were active in the past 24 hours, you get a paycheck - currently setup at every 7 days.
- Make it so members can donate credits and/or take out loans on credits with interest.
- Members get credits for donating.

A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player.

Loans on credits? Wow, you are teaching us dirty tricks. =)

Is there an ultimate goal of being able to use the credits for anything in real life?

I love the system, great way to have fun on message board other than posting and reading. I agree with all your new ideas... go for them

I think the ticket give away was a good idea, but giving the credits with them was bad.

Re: CyCredit Feedback Needed

Credits as an award for a site donation sounds like a good one. 1000to1 ratio? Donate $50 get 50K?

Re: CyCredit Feedback Needed

Have interest earned on banked credits. Right now, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no reason for banking credits is there?
Wow, this is getting way too real.

I think the daily credit idea is a good one, and I think you should definitely get credits for donating.

Not so sure about the loan process. Lots of people will have to declare bankruptcy. Can the banking application be applied? Where you can put X credits into the bank at a certain interest rate.

I think the current format is good. If you want, maybe give a bigger weekly paycheck to those with more activity.

- Make it so members can donate credits and/or take out loans on credits with interest.
I would not be in favor of this...could be somewhat ugly. I also think you could just get rid of the credit banking/interest thing. Keep it simple, makes it easier to use and more fun for all.

- Members get credits for donating.
Definitely. I thought this already existed.

How do you collect on loans?

I know people who know people. I'm just saying. My mom has some cousins in California that live pretty well for owning a stereo store.

Since we're already gambling, I'd like to use my CyCredits to play the stock market...
