Points System

[Elise]

So, Smokey had a good idea, but I'm on the fence about it and am not sure if I want to do it or not even though she says she'll keep up with it all. So here's her idea:

We follow a standard point issuing system based on placing in a class in a show, and we can do by division, by rider, by horse, and overall. It could be kept track of in a thread in the barn, or near anyone else, making it easier to spread out than a sidebar. Each season high-point awards could be given out either in the shape of money or little pixel tag ribbons that could be put in the signature or character log. We could either update it each season, or keep track of each season at all time. :3 I'm really up for anything, I was just curious for your take on it.

I'm....kinda iffy on this regardless, I mean I like the idea of rewarding people for showing more and such but I'm worried that it might get a little too complicated. If anything I'd suggest, possibly keep tracking of it over the entire year, but say at like...the start of a season (possibly the one it goes into affect on) have awards handed out.....I would also say perhaps a combination of money and little images like, I'd offer to make a few ribbons with some text next to it (to keep it all small) that people could put up in their logging thread underneath their horses/characters/whoever got it....

Really, in the end I could go either way with this and be content o,o'

I like Smoky's idea but I do agree that it could get kind of complicated. I would agree with Diru's idea for making it more simplified. The idea of pixel ribbons is just adorable XDD But yeah a point system is an awesome idea. Though doing it for a whole year would put less stress on everyone instead of season by season. Though honestly it could go either way for me. Keeping track of the winnings in a thread would be a nice way to keep things organized and simple. I'm up for whatever you decide as long as it's simple and easy to work with.

I say Yes, as long as it's a bit more simplified.
Right now, with the small member group, it would be ok, but when the site grows, it would be very hard to keep track of all members titles UNLESS you have the member send in their show placement information at the end of every season and keep track of it on a post here. Kind of like how we do face claims or apartment claims.

I like this idea, but I don't mind either way if it's implemented or not. It seems like it'd be a bit of extra work, which I know might give me a bit of trouble, since I'm terribly busy with school. :B However, I do agree that it might serve as a bit of extra incentive for folks to participate more often in shows.
