That is the idea. You'd like it. People are not used to it because it's not done elsewhere.

Also, there would be 'Immunity' which is cheap... awarded free or bought/gifted cheap
Kinda like the dunk tank at work. Take one for the team.
These ideas were all successfully run in the past.. many, many members for almost 2 years.... members rolled with as they knew it was temporary and also 'unbalanced' the power a lot of online fights.
This is why were not going to do at this time.. this place needs more posters to pull something like this off. All good.
We once had a store here that was thriving with options to 'fuck' with another ...had a currency called Bastard Bucks. It worked..created drama and helped the site continue as vBulletin was a bandwidth hog.
The new payment system also allows for a 'store' like feature to bring back some of these things as the regular member has everything already and not looking to take things away.. like PMs, Larger Avatars,
membership to enter or 'pay per click' ads... We don't have ads here because I hate them. All that stuff doesn't work.. its the web... this is why we've gone with simple donations and as a token we ELITE or upgrade a members status as a thank you...
Fighting options will be removed until a new system evolves or we just wait until 2022. Whatevr ~
* Updating this.... only way this would work moving forward is for a "member sign up sheet" type thread. Those people would be game, eliminating any victims.
