Hey everyone, I was thinking of ways to attract more people to crunch, and as I was watching my screensaver rack up credits, I thought of something. What if we could actually spend them for something? Sure, it'd be fun to be the best cruncher, but if you could buy more abilities on the site, or access new minigames, it would encourage them to spend more time letting Rosetta do its thing. So, here are some ideas, if you think of any more, by all means, post! 1. When you spend credits, it doesn't decrease your visible credit total, just your current 'spendable' credits. 2. You could buy the ability to upload a larger avatar. 3. Or to have a longer signature. 4. Or, on the upcoming game, to give advantages such as be able to see a bit of what your opponent is doing. 5. You could unlock minigames (really simple but fun). 6. And, of course, purchase items for the Rosetta RPG (if it becomes real). |

Actually, this idea has already been thought of by many people. It seems however that it may be hard to enact on the site, and I think that if we did have this it should be part of the rosetta game. |
