Alright! I like it, no complaints here. Since I'm a control freak I'll be commandeering the position as Store Manager. Points required will probably be the sum of all the numbers on the card right? Alright, just lemme know when ye be ready.

Wow, you don't take much convincing....
I'm still thinking about how exactly to make a limiting system (to keep it from being too easy to buy rare cards or too hard). Like I said, your idea works but it iz teh complicated. Also, maybe we could have a price tag on cards BASED on the numbers on them, but a little more spread out to make it more difficult to buy up all the cards. After all, with that system, isn't like, a grat card worth 10 or so points while a Rinoa card is about 20? Not much of a spread.
What I want to do for getting points is simple: if you win, you get one point for every card on the table that is turned to your color. So if you have five cards that are yours, you get five points. If you have eight, then you get eight points. If you score a perfect game.... then.... how about 20 points? It's hard to get a perfect game, after all.
And if you lose, you get jack and/or shit. Your choice.

Well, I mean like, if grat has like 8, and Rinoa has like 35, obviously it isn't spread out, I was thinking like, if Grat is level one, multiply by one, and since Rinoa is level 10, multiply by 5, every level is additional 0.5 multiplication to point value. So that pretty much fixes that.
As for the convincing thing, I was already partially convinced, and if someone hands you something that appears perfect, both in and out, are you gonna make up some stupid excuse to argue about it? Unless you're looking for an argument, I wouldn't expect you to...

I was gonna suggest a very similar multiplication scheme as NS, but I'ze just gonna go all-out and multiply the total points by the level...no halving involved. That way it's incrementally difficult to get stronger, and you really earn the highest cards...

That works, I think (the multiplying by .5 thingy). I think some number-tweaking is needed to get it just right.
Some other details:
1) The TTA cards are soooo damn purty. 'Twould be a shame not to use them. And since the cards are property of SE (the FF8 ones at least), no one will yell at us for ripping them off. Basically, my plan (and I have Bob's kinda-sorta approval), is to have Bob host the pics of all the FF8 cards and then we just link to them whenever we use them. That way we can see the cards instead of just numbers and stuff.
2) I think for games we should have a strict "no editing/deleting posts" policy. Just to keep people honest.
3)...... Um....... I can't think of a third thing just yet. Anyone notice something I might have left out/overlooked?
edit: I like wyvern's idea

I was thinking of that, but imagine, the average guy would get like 6 to 8 points a game, Rinoa would be like 31 x 10, or 310 points, Nobody would play if it were that hard to get that kind of card, And like nobody is ever on at the same time, right now excluded, so we'd get like 6-8 points maybe 2 or 3 times a week, that would suck, we'd have to like schedule battles otherwise.
Edit: Basically, its just too much at 10x, my way its like 155 points, that would be hard to get, and imagine, thats just one card.

I was thinking about making people do something special to earn the highest cards. Like having tournaments where the winner gets a level ten card (and not having level ten cards in the store).
Just a thought.

And ooh! Another thought! What if you could sell extra cards to earn some points? It would certainly make things go a little faster.

Both Ideas are good, Level eight and Nine cards will skip a level, like seven is 3.5, eight is 4.5, and nine is 5.0 point requirements.
I think both ideas should be used, it would work better, it'd be easier to get the level 10 cards, yet they'd be super rare, and you only have small windows to get them, and only one guy can get them at a time. Very good, and selling cards is good as well.
I don't think pictures are needed, just a name and where each number is would work, pictures would only be a hassle that we don't need.

Are the pictures needed? No.... but they're reeeeally pretty, and they make it more interesting. Maybe we can make picture use optional, so if you'd really rather just stick with numbers, fine, but if you want pics, you can use them.

Alright sounds good. So, Are we pretty final on this? It all looks good, and I don't think there is anything else that we need cover. Though, I think that you should start with all the level 1 cards.
another thing thats likeSoE locks, there is a thread where people request a card, or want to sell a card, and an answer is given, and another thread labels their modified card list, and of course, the card list thread labels how many points they currently have. The list would have the card name, total point value, level and multiplied point value.

I wonder if I could con Bob into making a Triple Triad section of the forums so we wouldn't have to clutter up the general board or the other boards.
I think we only need two main threads, a Store thread and an Inventory thread.
The Store thread would have all the cards for sale listed, their prices, and pictures (because I said so). People would simply post that they're buying a card and whoever is in charge of auditing this stuff (you, I suppose, since you volunteered), would make sure that person actually has the points to buy the card and make sure that the points are adjusted accordingly. Sales to the store could be conducted here as well, with the same stuff only in reverse.
The Inventory thread would have one post from each active player. Players simply edit this one post over and over each time they gain points or get cards.
Then we just make a new thread for each seperate game. It'll be a lot of threads, sure, but it'll keep things neat and tidy.

Yeah, all good and fine except one thing, if you buy something from the store, and the person decides not to take away proper points, or any points from the inventory, then they would be cheating, I doubt it'd be a problem, but I dunno if It'd work, if anything, have em do all that stuff and everything, and since Bob can edit other's posts, he could mod it if people are late in doing so or forget to or something.
So everyone does their own inventory thread, but if Bob beats them to the punch, or they don't mod their list, then Bob edits the list and fixes it. That should work nicely.

Bob should worry about TGP. I think we can handle forum stuff on our own. And didn't you just volunteer to do that? You don't need admin privileges to be an auditer, you just have to make posts pointing out when people do somehting worng (or don't do something they should have). If you're unwilling, then I'll do it.
And like I said, there aren't many people here so if someone starts cheating, either a player or the auditer, someone will notice for sure.

Good Point, I'll just do it then. Shall we get started?
