Smokez Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 lm pretty sure this is the right spot. But what do u guys think about giving awards for the first person to finish a game for the Site? Like if Someone got 1000 in FFXI then they would get an award showing they were the first. Understand or should i explain more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazie Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Believe me, I've pushed this idea to Webb and Minty for MONTHS and they dont seem to want to budge on it. I think its a great idea, and will cause people to try and finish games the quickest to get an award. Nice competition outside of leagues and tournaments. Of course it wouldnt be for every game, but for big games like Gears of War, etc. it'd be a GREAT idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaaady Souljah Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 i agree. if it is not too much of a hassle to do, it would be a very cool addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonkey Monkey Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I love that idea. Although if someone actually gets 1k in Final Fantasy, they shouldn't get an award, they should be forced to go outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaKing240 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If u bringing the idea up changes their mind, I'm gonna be seriously pissed.. lol.. Want a tissue? I am the one who makes most of the awards ya know, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazie Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Want a tissue? I am the one who makes most of the awards ya know, lol I know, I know, but they never liked the idea no matter how many times I tried to convince them to, lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilluhKam Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I love that idea. Although if someone actually gets 1k in Final Fantasy, they shouldn't get an award, they should be forced to go outside. i completely agree with that! we should shoot them with a tranqualizer put them outside, and lock them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Want a tissue? I am the one who makes most of the awards ya know, lol But not the one that implements them The awards are site related. If you finish a game first, you get bragging rights. I still wind Webby up with the fact that I got to 1k in Footbal Mnagaer 06 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wind Webby up with the fact that I got to 1k in Footbal Mnagaer 06 first. Being the first person in the community to get 1k in a certain game is no different than winning a site tournament. It just adds another level of competition that we can have on the site just to get a shiny award. It's really a good idea, IMO. It's just another thing for our members to do..

Webb Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Come to an easy game then, where 10 people get it at once, then how is that fair? Who gets the award? How do we know? North America gets games before Europe, how is that fair? All these make me supremely negative about this. We're open to suggestions on easy to implement ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviecrocker Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Webby has a good point. It really does my head in when other countries get just about everything before us in the UK. By the way I deserve that word of mouth award, christ the amount of people I've toldf about your website, i even had it up on Teletext once apon a time...

graemelunn Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 OK, well what about having an award for Supremely Difficult 1000's? i.e. Bomberman, Rumble Roses etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're open to suggestions on easy to implement ones Nobody said EVERY game, but when it comes to games like Halo 3, Gears of War, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc. It'd be a cool thing to have a competition for. You can even throw some little soccer games in there that you guys get first if you want, lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaKing240 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I tend to agree with Krazie here... we can make a front page announcement for the games that we want to do, whoever posts in the thread first, and shows up on our leaderboard gets it... besides, if 2-3 people all get it at once, then we call the award one of the first to beat the game...

Mingledon Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 New awards? I'm still wondering how to prove to the webmasters that I have made quite a few people join this site, and more use it frequently. Gimmie teh manies. But, in complete seriousity: The award is jus' not a good idea. Awards on this site are made to be geared to everyone. Me? I don't have many games (two), I don't rent often (only once before), and I don't play too much a day (two-three hours). That describes many gamers, and in any case- you will see the same, oh, maybe five names getting all these awards. The top five on our site. Jus' gonna' give 'em more bragging space.

Webb Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 If the release dates are global then I can't see a problem, if not, then how can it be fair? The Word of Mouth is no longer in Beta actually, it's being issued when and where deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maka Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I like the idea as long as people who actually finished it first, dont sign up just for the award.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I like the idea as long as people who actually finished it first, dont sign up just for the award.. Well obviously we would have to have the member signed up before the release date of the game. But still that doesn't get past the difference in release dates...

Spot2009 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I don't really see how you guys could figure out who gets the 1000 first, even by using leaderboards. Since obviously, everyone is not signed up to the leaderboard on this website. On another note, how would one receive the Word of mouth award? Referring 5 users or something? And my suggestion is to have contests to see who can make the best awards or something... I dunno, user created awards? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my suggestion is to have contests to see who can make the best awards or something... I dunno, user created awards? Lol. Well, Vbulletin and new-version IPBs (This is a newer IPB) have the ability to include a "Referrer" field on the registration form. Some are open-ended (where you can type whatever [VBull]) and some have to be an existing mebmer (IPB). Thus, if the admins put it in, the award would work something as 'if you are registered as a name under x or more people's profiles, you win!' Of course, Webby or whoever could implement an I.P. sweeper to make sure no one just registers x times. But who would? It is just a site award made for fair fun.

Spot2009 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 But who would? It is just a site award made for fair fun. I guess being an amateur achievement whore has it's side-effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingledon Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I guess being an amateur achievement whore has it's side-effects. It is funny how that was the exact same thing I was thinking about. But, seriously, the awards on this site are a tough 1,000. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
