Night Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 [center][img]http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac28/Amirzmom/NWSCT-1.png[/img][/center] [center] As much as I want to revive this section, it is a two way street. I can only do so much, the rest of it will be the public. This is the reason for this thread. The "SC Treasury" will be the showcase sections' bank, in a sense. For the longest time now, we simply produced art, competed, and worked (created shops/fulfilled requests) simply for our enjoyment. But there was something missing, a reward. Everything is always far more enjoyable when there is a bargain to be made and something to achieve. This is where the SC Treasury and the new SC (showcase currency) System come into effect. Members will be able to gain SC by posting new pieces of work, fulfilling requests in shops or in the request section, competing in future tourneys, 1v1s, participating in the CFX (new project that will allow members to get better at tag/LP/logo/CI making through collaborating with a partner and competing against others), making tutorials, selling/sharing .psd's and other various packs, and many other ways that I couldn't possibly think of off the top of my head. What I want this system to be about is that it will be a reward system that will give members motivation to compete with others, share resources, etc. This is different than that of ycm's "point" system because anyone can post "cool sig bro", but with the SC System it will require users to do more and actually benefit the community rather than themselves. How I envision this working is everyone starting out with a clean slate, members will get SC by playing a role in the community, i.e: sharing artwork, competing. The way we will keep track of users points will be through the SC Treasury thread, a leader board of sorts for bragging rights. At the end of each month (or every 3 months) we could have a ceremony to recap, and give out awards to the members who we feel deserved it. i.e: Artist of the Month (given to the member with the most SC at the end of the given period), Rising Star (a new designer who shows the most potential), Best Resource Provider, Best Artwork, etc. This doesn't have to be included, I'm simply brainstorming and spitting out ideas as they come, I would like you guys to do the same. What we need to figure out is how we will distribute and track SC, how exchanges will be made, and who will manage all of it if anyone. I'd like to hear your input on the matter. Also please note that for this to be a success not only do Yin (she's the mod, she needs to approve everything and her input is crucial) and I have to work for it, but so do you guys.[/center] [center][b]I apologize for the massive wall of text.[/b][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 My god, this is an amazing idea. How to track it? Absolutely no idea, unfortunately. I dunno, I think there'll just have to be 1 person set out as treasurer of SC Treasury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I honestly wouldn't mind keep tracking, if I have someone to help me with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have an idea that is fairly stupid. At the end of each contributional post/thread/ect. we put a plus 1. And along with the Showcase ID thread, we have our number of points or something right there. But people can easily change that, which is why it is fairly stupid. But I don't think anyone in this section would do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah I was thinking we would have a team moderating and tracking each transaction. Looks like it'll be you and I Yinny. @Daemon: That is essentially what we will be doing, however we will still need someone to track and take account for each of the SC given.

CrystalCyae Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thing with SCs is, not everyone who posts art here wants bragging rights (lots do, but some just want to get better. Which is sorta bragging rights, but different) So maybe, at the beginning of the month (in this case, year perhaps?), people can put their name down for wanting to be a part of the treasury project. Then we post our art like wazoo, and only those who wish to participate recieve SCs. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Only the leaderboard aspect of it will be what members will achieve bragging rights for. Sc is in general will be used as currency, for example to buy resources and enter some competitions, which then allows members to get better at the craft.

chairman ali Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Also NW, please encourage artists to explain their works (Own works as in not requests, but just their own creativity). This will help with understanding their conceptual side as well as increasing ideas in the community. I remember when a group of dA artists did that, better art was produce. Cheers!

Twenty-five Zero Oh-oh Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sounds cool. Hope this whole thing works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 The actual SC Treasury thread will be up in a bit, initially I was going to wait for yinny to sign on to msn so that I could share my final plan with her, Instead I'll put the thread up and you guys can comment on what is good about the system and if you believe there are any flaws (which I believe there will be since this is a major project).
