Flezz Problem with Flezz Leaderboard and special auctions

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

I sent this to ET, but am throwing it out here for community discussion.

And yes, I realize THE INTERNET has surpbumed me, but the arguments remain.

—-

I had full intentions of spending enough Flezz to drop from the leaderboard to give other people a chance to get there.

BUT — I’m now having second thoughts. Because doing so would mean giving up my guaranteed win of the next headsets (or equivalent) put up as auction.

So I think something’s broken there.

Maybe instead of future auctions for unique items, which can only be won if the Flezz leader decides to let anyone else win, a high-Flezz store be created instead? With only non-Kyoubai-enabled items appearing (so as to prevent people from buying the big stuff and getting it to people who don’t have enough Flezz)?

KYOUBAI IS SUPER-SERIOUS BUSINESS

Would this shop you propose be available to anyone with the Flezz, or just Episode Two players?

Even though making it non-Kyoubai enabled would remove a great option for me as a Seller, I would support this idea.

Or, perhaps with this small modification: Every week, new high-end Items are are introduced into the game, and they are ‘exclusive’ for four weeks. Then those items become available to the general public, via the Ppwn Shoppe or Kyoubai only.

This would be an excellent idea, but there is a problem. If someone was to buy an item when it’s still exclusive in the store, wouldn’t they be able to put it on Kyoubai and earn millions of Log in to see images!

EDIT: nevermind, missed non-Kyoubai part.

Did you not read the ‘non-Kyoubai’ bit of it?

Good idea imo.

I’ve said this in every leaderboard related thread I’ve seen, just remove a player from the leaderboard when they top it and are given the e-peen. It’d make life so much easier.

Though having a store like that would be pretty cool, just make the items only repair to 99%.

:ronpaul: :****ing sucks:

You can Flezz down without losing anything by buying millions of Chinese takeaway or marbles. Those things have the same resale value, and their prices don’t suffer any adjustment.

But someone already proposed this idea a while ago: we can use Flezz to buy auction tokens and use them to bid on special items.

It would also mean you’d have a new Leader awarded the E-Peen every day. Then there’s no competition, it’s simply a waiting game.

So do it every week or month. Players still have an incentive to compete, and anyone who hogs the leaderboard can do so, but for a limited time only (as it should be IMO)

Retire them from the leaderboard after having the peen for a set ammount of time then.

I think I liked your other idea in the other thread better. Change the current Leaderboard E-Peen to a very high end Milestone E-Peen name, maintain the Leaderboard as an non-award bragging position, and institute Milestone E-Peens at certain levels.

500K, 1 Million, 5 Million, 10 Million, 50 Million, 100 Million, etc. grant E-Peens.

The top dog on the Flezz board simply gets bragging rights.

Or, how about this: the current Top Dog in certain Leaderboards gets a different (or additional) icon next to their name instead of just the smileys? You only keep that icon while you’re the Top Dog, and you lose it at rollover if you’re de-throned.

How about the small place underneath our avatars, you can make icons for each leaderboard, and each one you hold you would get a icon.

I’m supporting this. I can understand people who go for more and more flezz, even because of these cool items like headsets. Those tokens sound like a good idea, combined with limited exclusivity

That’s not what the problem is. Screw the peen, the issue is that the Flezz leader has complete control over buying any new headset-like item, or letting it go. If they let it go, then it’s somewhat more up in the air. But if they want it, they get it. That’s not an auction, that’s a “congrats on having so much flezz, now here’s your reward”. That’s what I have the issue with.

But that can only happen one time. So maybe realizing they can only use this power once will deter the leader from bidding on some items. After all, what if they bid on something and it takes all their flezz, then something else comes along that they want more, then they are out of luck. Hopefully that would serve as a check, and make the leader think twice about each auction.

Besides, isn’t that how auctions are supposed to work anyway? The richest people can buy whatever they want. Why not let this be the reward for being the richest person in the game? And with each large amount of flezz lost, someone else has a chance at being the leader.

The leaderboards should be stricken down with a fiery ball of hellfire. Seriously, they’re only fun for the five people at the top of the board, and only until you get the bumociated E-Peen. Then you don’t care about them, ever again.

All they do is cause drama and forum douchebaggery (hey, remember when I posted all those **** threads to get the Flamebate peen? Or how about the friend-request scripters? They were p. annoying).
