Here is an idea for playing Games in v5.

You have a selection of games. Maybe 3 or 4.
If you go to the Store you can buy new games so you can play them. Also, if you try and play a game a window pop-ups saying:

Are you sure? (The window title)
Message: When playing a game you get a deduction of "_" minerals. If you beat the high score you will get an addition of "_" minerals.
Buttons: I agree I disagree

Clicking agree would mean ok I agree to what will happen.
Clicking disagree would mean they don't agree with the message and they dont want to do it.

It's an idea, hopefully you'll get an idea from this or you could use this idea.

I see some advantages//disadvantages using this system.

Advantages
1) Less Bandwith consuption, especially from people who only register to play.
2) Minerals will actually be worth something for everyone

Disadvantages
1) It really isn't fair for an extremely good game only available to regulars
2) People will whine about not having some sort of preview

If pay per play were to be implemented in any way (which I disagree with) it should be pay per minute, something like X mins per play.

What games should definetly have:

Need to be a "Member"(This is taking into consideration Moose's "Trial Member" group)
Top 10 scores will get certain amount of minerals per week. This way if your record stays for lots of time you get a "bonus" for it being there that long. Obviously the first place will get the most minerals, then second and so on...

There is no reason to talk about games in senv5 for a long, long while.

However, it seems like you are referring to flash games in an arcade. The problem with this idea is we have no flash games.

The arcade we used acquired special premission to use those flash games in their system... and probably got the source to slightly modify them a little.

While coding an arcade might be easy and a little more secure than our previous one, sources to the flash games have to be attained.



If anyone wants to go around emailing authors of various* arcade games to get this for use of an arcade system, go ahead. If you succeed, senv5 can launch with an arcade script. If you wish to do this, I suggest writting a template letter first for our review... Making sure to include the fact that their site would get a nice link on each page view where the game is listed and a linked logo on the page launch.

* - If this were to happen, I'd only allow reasonable games like tetris and such games like we used to have. The flash game must not have a huge file size as we don't have unlimited bandwidth. If a game is pretty cool and is a bit high, perhaps. 750kb or something is the absolute limit...

The Neave games are open source and always fun.

ADDITION:
Oh, just kidding, he decided to take them away. Sorry for this useless post.

I like the sound of this.. I hope their are games on the new version of sen. These once got "Nukz0rd" was it?? well having games once again is awsome. A place to come and play minigames instead of finding other sites.

I just played tic tac toe there. The AI needs to be a LOT better (didn't go for the win when he had 2 in a row)

5 minerals to play, 7 minerals for a win, 3 minerals for tie and 0 for lose. (So, win:+2,tie-2,lose-5.)

We could make a tic-tac-toe with some kind of starcraft units. Ling-rine-toe :0

I say we incorperate gambling into minerals...
Maybe poker, or slots?

How about people make their own games or submit game files that they've downloaded somewhere.

The problem with that is that people could steal games as their own or illegaly submit games to SeN. Then SeN would be the one getting in trouble. There could be legal issues over this which to my knowledge, none of us wants to deal with.

we should have that old starcraft army thing again or more like a DND with mods i mean mods = god.. and we just play and stuff lol... something to waste time on and pay mineral to do stuff in the so called DND world.. and have a inventory where mod can make stuff and mods add / subtact dmg.. that means like mods have to be on 24/7... which aint possible or there is like 1 hr every week where we get to play i donno something like that... nvm sounds pretty bad now..

I have to code everything...

I have to do the images... (or at least get someone to do them for me ;o )...
So I can't just import the smilies, the games, the buttons... etc... unless me and yoshi already did it for senv4.

so adding new games is tricky ah i see.. well atleast complicated ones..
