Fake Forum Economy

[Dio]

Okay - I forgot to resize two icons, but they look so much better at original size I may re-do everything to date.

Supper; brb.

I like the changes you have made so far in the shop.

In excess.  If it's not carried to excess and not a problem, not a problem.


Thanks for the good word.  I'm working hard (there's some bits I have to change on yesterday's work to work and I'm having to go through the scripts one at a time to make sure they're okay) and it's very good to hear that it's appreciated.

More goodies to come...

[Buster's Uncle]

First brand new item of the new useable stuff added...

[Buster's Uncle]

Second. 

Thanks to Valka for the idea.

These bases in the shop, they are those best ones. And their number is 50.
How about, they will be very limited, maybe even only one available of each kind?
They will be very rare items. Then we would have smaller bases in larger quantity and maybe those smallest ones in most abundance?

[BU Admin]

If you want that, making small versions and touching up descriptions is doable.  I'll go up the prices of what's already in place now.

[Buster's Uncle]

Done.  Changed them to Headquarters names.

Slightly more trouble to make and upload smaller versions of the bases, but I can do that.  They all run off the same script, so easy enough to make once the icons are available, so I'll do up the stage one bases for each faction, reverting to the generic names "Gaian Base", etc., and put those up tonight or early tomorrow for - €50, you say?

...You realize that we want to do up a set with Tachyon Shields raised for the real premium, right?  Make them €5,000.  (The €1,000 for the ones in place could be changed easily enough - if you have some reward deally in mind, I could make one of each at €0 for as long as it takes me to buy them all up for future Gifting purposes...

[Buster's Uncle]

Good Lord, am I tired.

Mart, I have indeed put up stage one bases for each faction at €50.

I got a selection of seven up in Spirtual (or not), which I think will be reverent to believers, but I managed to slip three jokes in, too.

Two new items in Café/Gift, and put a Forum Shenanigans item back with a new appropriate icon.

Now, crank out a little job for Geo that's waited all day and I can go to bed.  Boy, am I tired.

Spamming is generally wrong.

Call it poetic justice for the occasional changes our administrator puts this account through.

BUncle, what's up with the base shop items? Does it only display on ones item list (where your rocks and puppy show), or does it something else?

[Eadee]

If I had BUncles money I'd go "all your base are belong to us!" (Hope I got that quote right, otherwise I'll be sued for my lack of precision again )

[Buster's Uncle]

There is a use message in furtherance of the joke, and that's it.  All the new items have use messages but don't actually do anything.

[Buster's Uncle]

I was surprised how often I'd used contractions in the text I'd inserted in the script files I wrote Friday and had to correct (PHP uses asterisks for quotes), but once I got into the flow of correcting to work right, the last few I uploaded to the server went through without debugging.  Everything seems to work as intended, and I'm done for now, barring ideas occurring or suggested.

What about a AC leaders category?  How about the bases not all having the same joke in the description? 

(I'm not willing to customize the base use message joke, but the names and descriptions are easy to customize in the admin interface, and the use joke works pretty well w/o description setup - also, I made icons of stage four Tachyon Shield bases while I was knocking out the stage one €50 ones late last night and uploaded - easy to put up and rename-redescribe w/o any editing anything in Notepad and having to upload to the server.)

Also note that I improved the Rock and Puppy icons this morning - new icon requests would be convenient today while I've got FileZillah open and on the right folder(s).

Check out the Shop, y'all - heckuva lotta useless items added, three new categories, and everything works in the three themes anyone's using.  -It's looking pretty spiffy.

... freebies in the shop!

[Buster's Uncle]

Yep.  Jesus took a dim view of moneylenders in the Temple, and it seemed right to me to make all the living religions besides atheism free.  Input welcome on that.

Mithras costs, too, and the Uno religion costs a cursory and off-base-10-thinking €27ec.

[Mart]

Better hurry, while supplies last less than 50 in stock!
