Untitled @ CE

Just to let you guys know, I've removed the "Portal & Arcade" from the header. I've moved them to minimize the space in the header. There now located in the top right of the header!.

I've been thinking about adding something to the site guys. I'm not sure if you'll understand this, but I'll try to explain it as best as I can..

It's a point system... You get points for things you do around the site. Once you have enough points, you can buy things, or buy tickets for a lottery, so you can win more!. There's alot of features that come with the point system, so I'll try my best to list them all.. I've used point systems in the past on other sites.. and it always becomes a hit!..

It's alot of fun for everyone . If we do go with that.. Later on, I can add a "pets" addon. If your wonder what the heck that is... It's a virtual online pet!. To start your pet off, you'll need to buy an egg, then wait for it to hatch. Then you have to feed it, take care of it.. and you can battle your pet with others!!!... Well, I can't list all the features, so I'm going to list it like I did for the point system...

What is p3t?:

"A P3t is a virtual pet that can be cared for, trained, and battled. They have different Battle Stats and will level-up during battles. Leveling up occurs when a P3tz experience is at 100%. When they level up the statistics are increased.

P3tz also get hungry, every day, and will require food to prevent them getting so hungry that they lose health! When a P3tz health reaches 0 the P3t will die.

To keep a pet fed and healthy you will have to feed it and prevent it being killed in battle!

P3tz are displayed next to your name on messages you post in the forum. They are also displayed in your user profile. Your P3tz can be quickly found by going to the P3tz Home which is a link in the P3tz menu in the main navbar.

Clicking the image of a P3t will take you to the pet profile. This is where you can use an item, view the P3tz statistics, and spells the P3t has learnt.

If a P3t dies it can be resurrected by clicking the resurrect link in the P3tz Profile of the pet. You can also create a grave as a memorial for your P3t in the graveyard."

P3tz Stats:

"Health
The health displays the current health compared to the maximum health the P3t can have. You should keep this value above 0 otherwise your P3t will die.
Hunger
The hunger is how hungry the P3t is. This is displayed as a percentage so you should keep it low. If your P3tz hunger is too high your P3t will start to lose health.
Age
The age displays how old the P3t is in days.
Moral
The moral of a P3t determins how good or evil the P3t is. P3tz moral can vary between -100 and +100. Staying around the middle will keep the moral neutral. Moral effects which spells can be used in battle. All spells can be learnt but only spells that match the Moral of the P3t can be used.
Strength
The strength is used in battles and determines how hard the P3t can hit.
Defence
The defence is also used in battles and determines how much damage will be reduced when the P3t is hit in battles.
Agility
The agility again is used in battles and is used to determine the chance of the P3t hitting or evading another P3t in battle. The agility of both P3tz is used to determine hit chance.
Experience & Level
Experience is gained through battle and when it reaches 100% the P3t will level up and the experience will return to 0.
Battle Wins & Losses
The total battles, wins, and losses are also displayed on a P3tz Profile. These basicly provide an idea of the P3tz battle history. An accomplished champion or a first rate punch bag?"

Sounds cool eh?.. Everything you buy for your pet, will use your points , so the pets would have to be added after the point system.. Keep in mind, the point system is FREE. But the p3t system isn't!.. I'd only buy the p3t system if the activity picked up, and we had more members!.

Please feel free to reply, we need suggestions, and we want to hear what you have to say!.

Thanks.
