People are always like "omg I have minaerlz but der b no place 2 spend da minerzla", so I came up with this idea.
Basically, for a certain mineral amount (I'm thinking 200) we place the buyer's map in a pinned thread for one week. The map can be good or bad, but this is mainly for exposure. Of course, there is a SMALL quality control (to be rated by me). Also, you must write the advertisement and submit any pictures or screenshots you wish to be used, I won't do it for you. Last, there is a limit: a single person can only advertise a map once a month.

Yeah, nice idea.
We do need some more uses for the SEN currency.
Right now they are a symbol of pride to most people, like in India and Pakistan, they have nuclear missiles, see them as their symbol of pride and not using them.
But that is what the green bars are for.
Someone needs to program in a lottery system maybe, you can buy a max of 10 tickets costing 50 minerals each, and after two weeks (every other saturday) the winner will be randomly generated and will win the minerals that everyone paid for tickets.
This may sound silly, but maybe an auction system. For example,
♦ = symbol for minerals (alt + 4)

If the sellers are just getting minerals, then they need something to spend the minerals on. Well, they could simply use them on other auctions, but I think the shop needs more items.
In addition to the current items: (Also, give a warning to the glowings/whatever that they do not work in firefox.
Item-------------------------------Cost
5 more PM inbox space.---------100♦
Get one mineral extra with each posts that already give you minerals-----2000♦
Buy 1 Card*---100♦
..out of ideas..
*For a card system I was thinking about. Once you buy 7 cards (you may not buy any more), you can look at them and play a poker concept with them, and get:
Royal Flush- 5000♦
Straight Flush- 4000♦
Four of a Kind- 3000♦
Full House- 2500♦
Flush- 2000♦
Straight- 1000♦
Three of a Kind- 800♦
Two Pair- 500♦
One Pair- 250♦
Other ways to spend minerals.. well, the new games in v5 will pretty much cover that (if there ever will be a v5..)

Perhaps reinstate the Raffle.

The raffle was a great idea, I also think the map advertising would be a good idea to harvest their minerals.

Should I restrict this to just maps?
Where should the bought space be? I should get the announcement tool running so I can put up a shiny announcement in all the mapping/modding forums.

Just maps is good.
The spaces should be just in all the mapping forums.
