After the fortunate advent of kiwis becomeing avaliable in the shop I noticed that they serve no real purpose other than welcomeing new members.

So I had this idea to give them a nice purpose, and well here goes.

Everyday the stock of the kiwis in the store is randomized.
The price of the kiwis is randomized. (Just keep it below 700 or soemthing.)
And the resale value of the kiwis is randomized.

If this were scripted in it would give the new members who recieve kiwis as a present a chance to get a good foothold in the SeN exonomy, as would it give careful kiwi buyers and sellers a chance to gain spectacular riches.

I like the idea but I think it should be 500 maximum price. Right now kiwis are so expensive... and how do we "give" the kiwis to the new members?

I agree, it would give a use for the kiwis + minerals. I'll start a Kiwi Monopoly, and take over SEN! devil.gif

Buy random money and give it to new members tongue.gif

This is more random. The costs rise and fall, the sale prises rise and fall but on the bright side you can always see the price.

lets make the kiwis be like chips in a gambling game XD or use them as part of a forum game, like "beat the # of kiwis above u", or "the bikini kiwi contest" where u make pics of ur kiwis wearing bathing suits with a background to match (YES IM CRAZY, I DRESS UP LITTLE LEGO PIECES WITH CUSTOM MADE CLOTHING DURING MY SPARE TIME) tongue.gif jking

plz, no jokes about the above being true

we could kinda make kiwis like gambling chips. or i was thinking, what if we make it like a lottery ticket (like battlekruser's...and of course we would have to ask his permission because...its his game). So you would buy a kiwi and then insert your 4 numbers and the pot would grow with the kiwis bought. so when you bought a kiwi and gave it to a newbie, he has a chance to win the lottery!

It's fine with me. I discontinued the other lottery due to lack of interest and participation.

I created them for s**ts and giggles, that's all. And I'm going to leave them that way. I have enough coding to do as it is. I changed the restock time to minutes (2707 minutes, yay biggrin.gif).

I participated! like twice and then i kept forgetting pinch.gif . Okay so we can use kiwis as lottery tickets yay...but someone would have to be in charge of it. So lets see, every saturday we could have the drawing, and the pot is just simply the kiwi money, and in order to place your numbers you would "use" it. That way you could send it and the newbie could use it.

Recently, I've been constantly having to edit posts for censor evasion. Effective immediately, I will be handing out warns for evading the swear word filters.

THIS INCLUDES (but is not limited to):
Spaces, i.e. BADWORD = B ADWORD
Single Stars, i.e. BADWORD = B*DWORD
1337 or other approximations of characters, i.e. BADWORD = B4DW0RD
BBCode interruptions, i.e. BADWORD = BADWORD or BADWORD.

The censors were added for a reason. You have been warned.


...i have the feeling nothing will happen to you.

We can make a purpose for kiwis ourselves. Like kiwi could be a highest currency at sen. Like minerals but much more worthy. I don't think anybody would like to buy a 360 mins worth kiwi for every new member pinch.gif . Let's keep kiwis as our second currency tongue.gif

Because Moose didn't do anything wrong according to the quote... it only says single stars.

Yeah, I don't think anything is gonna happen to Moose either.

well thats not even a good rule then cuz i could just say this...f**k you...and THAT counts? I think it shouldn't matter. If you can tell what the word is then it shouldn't be allowed. (not to get him in trouble) but because i can still read my word and know what it is...
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2005-11-12 at 14:11:16
Using the starring "f**k" is not against the rules, but chances are you'll end up flaming with the use of it, so be careful.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Oo.Turin.oO on 2005-11-12 at 14:13:08
i dont want to use it. i just thought the whole point of the rules was to just have no cussing whatsoever, but i guess you made a loop hole for yourselves in that off chance you wanted to use them. figures...
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2005-11-12 at 14:16:48
Quote the rule please. I wouldn't do anything you to for posting "s**t" unless it was something similar to "Moose is a piece of s**t".

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

And about nothnig happening to moose, why do you care? He could censor evade to make a flame while punching dtbk, it doesn't matter, he's an admin. Making him above the rules.

I think Syphon's idea was a good one though :-\.. Maybe whenever a new member joins they start out with a kiwi, and whenever kiwis got cheaper they could buy more and when they were expensive they could sell them. If you ever decide you feel like it..

Nothing. I think it gives an error that you can't use it. I won't gaurantee it stays there, though. tongue.gif

You give the kiwi and your invisible kiwi bar goes up and when you give out 100 kiwis you are very newbie friendly and you will be loved by the new people.
