I'm guessing that one could acquire icons of the various items listed and put them by your avatar. :?

Let's do it the true way and fire up the graphic progs to add little stripes of clingor to our avatars ... and change their complexion according to the amount of diamondraught we bought for them. :twisted:

We get points based on how often we post, but don't keep them for ourselves but donate them to others? Or do we put them in the bank? Or ...?

Help! :(
I need to learn how to explain things more clearly ;)

You get to keep them - putting them in the bank increases them via "interest". You can donate them if you're feeling benevolent :)

And yep - There will be something under your avatar so that others can see what you've acquired. Really confusing initially I know :)

And we get points based on what? Number of posts?

Is one able to see who donated him points?

Points are gained for replying and starting new topics. I just donated 10 to you - did it indicate the sender?

Don't think so ... where should it indicate the sender, or the donation at all?

mmmm...they must be anonymous donations then. It's a board mod that I've implemented and I'm not too sure about all the features just yet :)

The donate feature may actually be a redundant feature though. You tell me ;)

Exactly what we get is still slightly up in the air at the moment. However, it's a useful time during which to stash your cash in the bank and earn some interest :D

OK. Now for the :crazy: version:

1. Start new discussion: Get 5 White Gold Dollars
2. Post within existing discussion: Get 2 White Gold Dollars
3. Look under your avatar.
4. Next to text that says: "White Gold Dollars" you will see a number
5. This is how many White Gold Dollars you have
6. You don't have to do anything with them (same as putting your money under your mattress)
7. OR...you can deposit it into the BANK by clicking the Bank link just under the Watch Banner
8. Open up an account
9. Deposit your money
10. Watch it grow
11. When Shop is in place then use your stash to buy stuff - the stuff isn't quite in place yet though

I KNOW I'm missing something ;)

Maybe the part about how to donate? I don't see how to do that.

Hmmm, is it working for everyone else? I keep getting "You can't donate that amount of White Gold Dollars to this user." Whether I try to donate 1, 5, 10, or 20 wigdees.
