I suck at crosswords but it sounds fun coda =D maybe.. add some sudoku? ^^,

That kind of thing is already under discussion; this was just step one. We haven't decided how we want to deal with the rest.

Edit: Sudoku I've already done once. *rummage* Let me find the link.

CODA I LOVE YOU! *plays* xD

I love Sudoku...

We actually do have crosswords and Sudoku in the 10,000 Cat Paws Charity. usually. We've been taking a break from that to do our banner contest, but we can start putting them up again. that way everyone can come to our charity thread to stimulate their brain activity, and the games thread will no longer be needed, right? ;D

Coda is sex... but the difficulty... soooooo higggghh D8

Ooooo if we can have a live chat room of sorts with a "game bot" we CAN combine the A-Z threads into ONE.

In my country, we play a game called "Boy, Girl, Animal, Place, thing"

The leader calls a letter and everyone playing has to fill out the categories with something that starts with that letter. The leader does it too.

When the leader is finished, EVERYONE has to stop and put down their pens, whether finished or not and compare answers.

10 pts for a unique word
5 pts if 2 people have the same word
0 pts if more than 2 people have the same word or no word written

it goes on til every player has a turn being the leader. The one with the most points wins!!!

I haven't looked at a lot of the charities, but 10,000 Cat Paws is more like a charity where you get a donation when you deserve it. it's not necessarily about being lucky in a contest, but just about working for it. it's a more fair charity that way.

and why does it matter where the crosswords or sudoku is? if it's in a charity you earn more for it than if it's just a game to pass the time, anyway? ;D

I wasn't being completely serious when I said that our two games could take the place of the games thread. but if anyone's going to claim to have brain-stimulating activity, it's not going to be the games thread.

I'm strongly against the idea that a thread should be locked just because the initial question was answered. If the thread's purpose is served, it'll bury itself on page 2; if the thread is still serving a purpose, it'll keep itself alive.

Edit: >.> And leave the thread title something useful so people who are looking for the same answer can find it!

Ok here's my feedback on this...

1. GREAT IDEA! To cut the amount will help balance out the system, making aurum is far to easy because of the forum. But only 2 aurum from a simple post!? Why not cut the amount by at least 25%?

2. The thing that makes this not help out the balance out the system is that you can make more aurum anywhere else. So there will be more spam for gold, and the prices in the market won't change (there might be a small drop, but the prices are very right now as it is.) So it will encourage people to either spam or actualy get into a conversation.

3. I enjoy it as it is, I asked for the game forum (Wasn't I the first person to ask for it?) Well I asked for the game forum just for this reason so its much more easier to get aurum.

I know, it's pretty common, and it annoys the mess out of me. :P

@Illusion: We're not trying to rebalance the economy; it seems pretty healthy right now. But if you want to earn aurum, there's ways to do it besides participating in counting to a million.
