OK, i need to know how to do reader reviews, coz i read that completing a reader review gets you 5 spoon points. Also, how much does a decent game cost with spoons?

I don't think you still get awarded spoons for reviews but you can review console specific games and just post them in the specific board. There use to be a reader review board but this was changed to the multiplayer meet-up board.
So I think your out of luck with your spoon wrangling idea.

no you dont lose spoons unless someone - 'ed (neg) you. You need a set number of posts before you can go and + and - people though.

Its quite simple, just use the green + or red - button to vote accordingly.

Well not officially anyway. Fetidchimp had 2 auctions recently for pokemon diamond and tenchu DS.

I remember when i first joined up, there were PALGN rankings you could bid for - VIP for a month - VIP for 3 months? But that time i had no $poons, now that I have a small amount they dont offer that anymore icon_confused.gif icon_sad.gif

^ Also, to avoid those dastardly negs, use the edit button just above the pluses and minuses to add information instead of double posting.

Quite! After all, it is the law! icon_smile.gif

Might want to have a quick read through the rules - it has a brief explanation of $poons and how they're awarded, among other things.

Just post to your best ability, keep your posts thoughtful, insightful and non bias and you should get many plusses and little negs. Also if you dont want to get negs avoid sleeping or sleeping247 or whatever, he gave me 150+ negs in a row the other day which quite an outrage! icon_biggrin.gif

If in particular you want spoons:

Post some purchases you have recently made, they usually get 3-5 plusses from people who like what you have bought

Find something really funny and post it, once per day is enough, dont post mediocre things just to get plusses as non funny things often get negged

Give something you dont need away in the game exchange thread, this usually generates 20 or so plusses

Milestone threads are usually a custom to give the milestone'd poster alot of +'s (sorry for the bad grammer) but bassically when you get to a milestone like 1000 posts you generally receive a large amount of +'s.

Also if you really want plusses you can also write helpful guides etc. Or if you want spoons you can gamble or do jobs for people (like making sigs)

I could be wrong, but Luke has been quite busy recently, and I believe a lot of that was done through him. Hopefully they will be back up soon.

It used to be that we'd get so many games for competitions and one or two would go on the auction for us, but that hasn't happened recently. :/

Also KingGrishmak couldn't vote when he started this thread as he hadn't reached 25 posts.

@ Blink - plussed for making the forum sound like an RPG fetch quest AND for coining the term "milestone'd" which sounds like a TOOL song - if TOOL were heavily addicted to internet forums.

Ok so are we allowed to make topics just for the sake of getting plusses? Such as "Everyone who posts in here, plus everyone else!"

Negatory. It's a system that is designed to reduce spammy, unwarrented posts. Something like what you suggested would more likely attract negs than plusses.

OK one last couple of questions.

1) I saw in the rules that u get into trouble for giving out too many stupid negs, do u get into trouble for giving out too many plusses?

2) If one of your posts with a couple of votes is deleted by an admin or by yourself, do you lose the spoons aswell?

Thanks

1. it hasn't happened, but if you plussed everything you saw something might happen.

2. you lose them.

I'd add that when it's obvious someone is after $poons/plusses, they're usually not received well by the community here. Personally, I post as if they're not there.

Rip in the space/time continuum?

Heh.
That reminded me of BF2 and 2142, where you were limited in the number of times you could say affirmative/agreed/negative/negatory per minute.
Unless you were the commander.

No-one really liked being commander, so we got ourselves elected, and bam. Suddenly it was
NEGATIVE NEGATORY NO CAN DO NEGATORY NEGATIVE NEGATIVE
over and over....
such fun.
