XJ coin system

Hey there,

we're planning to add a cool feature to our new plugin (which is coded by Exolent at the moment and will be finsihed soon) and wanted to hear out your opinion about this idea, especially when it comes to the exact numbers/the balancing. Here we go:

Okay, the idea is to establish a system that allows normal users to qualify themselves for getting one month vip for free by beating enough maps/times.

It might be a great idea to call them "XJ coins" and establish another cmd like /coins that shows you your coins as .php file (like the toplist) or other peoples coins /coins

- For nochecking a map (not the same map twice in a month) you get 1 XJ coin.
- For beating a pro15 time you'll get 5 XJ coins.
- For making the 3rd place in a pro15 you'll get 7 XJ coins.
- For making the 2nd place in a pro15 you'll get 10 XJ coins.
- For making the 1st place in a pro15 you'll get 15 XJ coins

Once you get 150 XJ coins you'll qualify for the month VIP and get listed in a txt file or php script.

So what do you guys think?

Feel free to post any ideas or suggestions

maybe higher it from 150 to 500 or something..

not that hard to get top15 times if u do the right maps :E

it sounds nice, but im banned from the servers so i cant try it out :(

nice idea for all the good jumpers to have vip very very easy just only collecting 150 coins. -.-"

more coins it should be better, as omilo said.. more than 300..

will the pro15 be restarted? or continue like now?

I like

@ omilo, 300 would be enough. I like the idea.

Nice idea. 300 sounds would be better.

I suppose it's kinda weird thing, because at one moment there will be 90% of maps that will be impossible to beat (yeah it happens). So how to get coins? Nocheck 500 maps per month? No, I want my life back.

If you want to make it like it is in the first post, you should clear tops regularly. The bad thing that it would ruin some pub WRs.

So, this system should be more advanced. For example make it like: coins doesn't reset every month, but goes like 50% lower. This would prevent guys to get lifetime vip and give a good chance to beginners.

The idea is no doubt a superb idea but I'd like to point out a few things :

According to the system any WR Holder would need 10-22 maps a month
to get the VIP status, which is very easy according to their standards and skill level. An average lvl jumper who doesn't have any WR till now or had a WR for a short period of time or has retired from recording would need 30 demos a month to get the VIP status. It can be achieved too according to their standards. But think of the newcomers. They need to no-chk 150 maps to get the VIP status which is indeed a challenge for them.

So, what I suggest is make a 3-tier sub-system within the system. Say the 1st category (WR holders) should need 500 XJ coins to get VIP status. Similarly 2nd category i.e the avg lvl jumpers would need 300 XJ coins to get a VIP staus. However, keep the 3rd category i.e the newbies target to 150 coins.

I think this way every single guy would have to work hard irrespective of their present skill lvl to get the VIP status. This is just a humble suggestion. Hope it helps :)

PS : Those who think the newbies shouldn't have a shot, I have got something for you ppl to ponder about. Can u undermine or compare the enthusiasm of a newbies who fucking no-chks 150 maps as compared to a pr0 who can beat 1 map evry 15 mins..

Great idea, seems like it would work perfectly.
