Tokens are now up and running. The purpose of tokens, in addition to bragging rights will also be for purchasing special perks - for example (these haven't been finalized yet) for xx amount of tokens you can purchase a special title rank under your username calling yourself whatever you want, you could purchase access to a photo gallery, special fonts and colors for posting, etc. You can even bet your tokens in the gameroom! But, for now until thats hammered out, let me tell you how tokens are awarded.
How tokens are awarded
*For signing up, and all current members, you will recieve 50 tokens.
*Creating a new thread = 3 tokens
*Replying inside of a thread you started = 2 tokens
*A normal topic reply = 1 token
*A small bonus based on how many words you type in your post.
Games:
*For playing a game = -2 tokens (goes into the jackpot for the game)
*Getting the gold trophy (high score) for the game = 25 tokens
*goal is to make roughly 5-10 tokens per game played, but more or less can be made depending on how well you do.

Special Token Awards:
*If you make a "great" post you might be awarded 10 tokens
*If you make an "awsome" post you might be awarded 25 tokens
*There will be special contests here and there in which token rewards may be given, for example currently there is a reward for creating a site logo if I decide to use it for our forums.
*You may lose some tokens if you piss me off about something(muahahaha)
*If you invite someone to the boards and they join up, have them let myself or Veronica know about it and well award you some tokens.
Future plans:
*Open to suggestions, but will be incorperating ways to "spend" your tokens. Plans do include, but no certain timeframe, to have a lottery / raffle where you purchase tickets for tokens, special features that can be unlocked by spending tokens, making different forums count differently for tokens (for example giving more tokens for creating a post in the video's section), being able to gamble your tokens in a casino, etc.
If you have any questions about tokens, this is the place to post them. Enjoy! It was alot of work getting the gameroom setup and the token system in place and working between the two - but it will I think be one of the coolest things about our boards.
