Perhaps maybe get an add-on that has blackjack or something? You could make it so you bet Krones. I made this suggestion in RIA like, last year. It's not the most popular thing over there, but they do use it. Nothing like a little gambling to shake things up.

Actually, 10KI has a little casino section for blackjack and slots, and it's a wonderful little currency seeker that can also reward you nicely from time to time.

I do enjoy playing on those occasionally. 

A stock market comes to mind. You post how many total posts go on the forum already. A forum stock, whose value fluctuates with the amount of posts made on any given week or month. A User stock whose value fluctuates with how many citizens we get. I considered an Endorsement stock as well, whose value is determined by the amount of endos the delegate has, but I figure that one would be a dead end, since endos for the delegate here hardly see any substantial change.

Well Pengu, I hear there's a bug with the Poker script over in RIA, particularly with when you get a flush. I'd found it myself but the one who wrote it doesn't seem to work on it anymore. I know RIA has Blackjack and I think they have slots too. It was kind of a package deal with the poker script I found. I myself quite like casino games, especially poker and blackjack.

They would.  I think it's one of those coding features that Proboards allows, since they're both hosted by Proboards.  Much like Invisionfree has nifty little software that even non-coders that have a messageboard can copy and paste to add to their messageboard.  I think the Stock Market that 10KI has is also one of those...or possibly something a bit more complex, I'm not sure. 

I know 10KI doesn't have poker though.  If they did, they probably took it down quickly for the same reasons, because they only offer Blackjack and Slots now.

We have to be careful with a stock market, because that was the downfall of Lazarus's currency. I think it was just so much money was being made off of it and there wasn't anything for anyone to do with.

I have an idea based off of my little project last night. What if people could buy maps and tiles to create their own houses, castles, etc, and then map them however they would like with any number of tilesets? Eventually we could have scripted tiles...for example, a bookcase that when clicked displays books that maybe people could write and sell. People would perhaps even be able to invite others to their houses and have live chats or something...

I really want to get this going, so I've thought of some ideas for getting the system going. For things like posting and donating, I didn't want to just sit a flat rate for everything, but base it in part on the overall activity that area has seen, to encourage more activity as a community rather than just one person. I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions on improvement.

Posting - Spam posts wouldn't receive krone. Otherwise, the amount of krone received would depend on how many posts had been made that day at the time the post was made, and the amount would be tripled if starting a new topic:

0-50: 0.50 Krone
50-100: 0.75 Krone
101 - 200: 1 Krone
201+: 1.50 Krone

Donating - If fewer than $15/month had been received in donations, $1US = 100 Krone, otherwise that amount would be doubled. I picked $15 because that's the point where we would break even after paying for webhosting and Minecraft server hosting, so anything above that would go toward past expenses and then to me personally, justifying a higher krone rate, I think.

Recruiting - Amount given for each message sent, each recruit that signed up for Citizenship, and each recruit that stayed and made at least 100 posts, amounts tbd. Mentors would receive the same krone if their mentees reached 100 posts.

Military - Amount given for each operation participated in, amount tbd.

Articles - Amount given for each article written and published, amount tbd.

Things to buy:

National Items - I was thinking of adding some stats on-site for Citizenship nations, and allowing people to buy improvements for their nations. Is there anything people would want in this category?

Non-essential Site Improvements - I was thinking of adding more background and screensaver effects, like the snowfall effect we already have, and each effect would be purchasable.

A potential connection could be with a game of sorts. Like have the Krone factor into a game or into something like Minecraft. :/

What do you have in mind?

Well I was thinking some form of game could be made for Wintreath which could then work along with the krone. Ex: Krone is earned outside of the game but is available inside of it.

That sounds great...now we just need a game.

Hrm...I volunteer Wintermoot to make the game!

Since I'm making the Krone system, a game might be a long ways off, lol.

You could take that game that you already have and design something out of that as a prototype.

Which game is that?

The game thing you were able to get the world loading through Javascript or something like that....

That would be difficult to do on a large scale...the backend would have to be in node.js, which hosting companies only allow on VPS or dedicated servers. Though if someone wanted to donate $80 or so every month we could do it.
