2011-03-16 |  | Extra Incentives to buy paids |  |
I was thinking that as nice as paids are, they should maybe add a few fringe incentives to getting paids so as to encourage more buying, esp if you got a paid and then restarted as another race.
Wish there was some way you could "temporarily" give BTCs or turns to players in a "use it or lose it" kind of format so that they can get some of the basic ship research done quickly on turn based. You know, so you don`t just end up having to be in research mode for 2 months or more before you can even competitively play. |

99+ day(s) ago | Though 5 orbs every colour wouldnt hurt.. Out of goodwill to those who donated 5 or 10dollars..
Just my opinion.. Feel free to criticize.. |

99+ day(s) ago | Yea, Stephen used to do donation runs where if you donated cash on top of buying paids, you would get regalos and stuff. But I think it got stopped partly because certain people donated "too much" and got rewarded too richly, and people started getting upset. =/ |

99+ day(s) ago | casino sounds cool, just gotta make sure virals can`t re-engineer the no upkeep ships and have to capture em all in battle if they want to, though I do imagine virals as sort of the sleezy types to visit a scungy casino on the border of the galaxy... |
Crack
99+ day(s) ago | If im not wrong.. There used to be a scheme where we can donate and get common or uncommon artis... Dang memory always failed me.. Shuckss.. |

FistOfNoRemorse
99+ day(s) ago | it stands to be debated as i dont see the project actually using turns but it might have to (if it didnt use turns it would just be as fast as you can click the bet button and just start collecting prizes or losing 25-100mil raw per bet) if no turns are required to bet id like to see an 18-24 hour cooldown then you reinvest. think of each investment as paying off an informant as to where the new location of the casino is time and money to get that invite |

FistOfNoRemorse
99+ day(s) ago | paid project
galactic casino project
$1,000,000,000
300 turns
earns you a 10 hour pass to gamble in the galactic casnio
all single play casino games so people cant lose a poker hand on pourpose
winnings would be things like winning a rnadom planet added to boarders
ships from other races with no upkeep (no more then 100k pr per stack)
money food ore minerals
we use raw material as chips |

99+ day(s) ago | paids already give a huge benefit to both exploration, and +turn generation and more importantly storage. Add in the paid ships, and man...that`s some amazing benefits :P
Disagree with any idea involving giving BTC/random artis on TB servers, for anything that is not UW-rewards. |

99+ day(s) ago | well i stay up to 2 am to get the good digs... which is a pain sometimes... |
PizzaTheHut
99+ day(s) ago | but gc got a severe shortage of all artis cus of akward dig times for 90% of people |
Vendeen
99+ day(s) ago | You already get a turn incentive... +15% turn generation rate and +50% max turns.
Though I wouldn`t be against the idea of a restarting empire on Slow/Normal getting a BTC or two while Fast/Ultra gets 5 STC or so, non-discriminant as to whether you`re paid or non-paid, like how minerals are given out to new empires.

99+ day(s) ago | getting artifacts is going to debalance the game... just like what happened in UC... top feds buying 10 bulks of BTC |
