I think it's such an interesting idea!!!!

Chunsa-chan 08-01-2011 04:14 PM

I think it's pretty nifty. If nothing else, activity will increase on the first a bit more. XD

WinglessFairy 08-01-2011 04:15 PM

Huh....while it sounds like a useful idea, I'm afraid that it might cause some inflation in the CI prices, and since it's inflated quite a bit back from when I first played in '07, it might not be happy.

But, trying it out once can't hurt, and if there's a large amount of inflation, I'm sure you guys will see that and perhaps think of a different fun way to do things.

And more importantly, it will generate more activity on the site which is MUCH NEEDED and I certainly wouldn't mind a little inflation if I had more people to talk to!

blueblackrose 08-01-2011 04:30 PM

This is an interesting idea and I think that trying it out is well worth it.

I don't really foresee this causing much inflation if any since it will be for a 24 hour period one day a month.

Otohime 08-01-2011 04:38 PM

Sounds like a nice idea. :)

Mageling 08-01-2011 04:40 PM

Let's see how well this works, then. It's an interesting idea, I really hope it takes off.

Krissy 08-01-2011 04:59 PM

Oh, I guess that's not a bad idea. o wo; Just the manually thing sounds a bit difficult. D:

jellysundae 08-01-2011 05:05 PM

It's not difficult to do, just not easy to do at a time that's similar to the items being released. But having said that, the CI release time is a bit strange, considering it's in the middle of the night! It would make a whole lot more sense to have them come out in the afternoon/early evening, I'd have thought :ninja:

Krissy 08-01-2011 05:12 PM

The midnight release makes sense to me. Considering that it's a new day for the server, I can see the logic in releasing them at midnight. That way, older CIs are gone and new CIs replace them on the 1st. That, or it's just the literal action of, "They will be gone on the first."

Jezriel 08-01-2011 05:26 PM

Hm, I'm not sure I'm for this idea. It seems a lot like bribery to get people to post, yet I feel the only people who are really going to know about this and take advantage of it are the people who are already here and posting anyway.

Then there's the injection of more gold into a small economy. One of the things I've been happiest about with Menewsha is the lack of super inflation, unlike a couple of other avatar sites I've been part of. There needs to be balance. If you add gold to the economy, then you need to also create a gold sink that will, in theory equal the amount going in. For instance, being able to buy Mennies with Zennies - even for a super high rate. (mind you, that's just a toss out idea, not an actual suggestion for this case)

I don't know. I mean, there is the part of me that's like - Yaay, more gold!
But I just don't want to see bad side effects from trying to coax people into posting more. There hasn't been a big event in quite a while, and that was always the biggest post draw.

Tamerthanthou 08-01-2011 05:28 PM

Oooh this is such a good idea!

It's a once a month thing, it's not permanent.

Chikuma 08-01-2011 05:33 PM

Interesting idea, wonder how I'll like it

Hatake Ayumi 08-01-2011 05:34 PM

Also, if an event is coming out soon, the new commons will be a massive gold sink, like always.

PapillonCameo 08-01-2011 05:38 PM

I love this! At first, I stared at my gold amount for a few seconds and wondered what was going on... Like that can't be right!

It's good that it's only the first of each month, makes it kind of a reward and motivation for being on when the CIs are released.

Rukia Kuchiki- 08-01-2011 05:38 PM

Cool =)

M i r o 08-01-2011 05:38 PM

Only to the common obessors. :XP @ Hataa

Sandy 08-01-2011 05:39 PM

*sings* I killed Jelly and I liked it!!!

bwahahahahah

Chikuma 08-01-2011 05:42 PM

Though not sure how often I will be online when the new CIs come out. Might be a kind of hit and miss thing. Luckily I was here today. =)

lunanuova 08-01-2011 05:44 PM

Oh is that so? Sounds good to me. Not what I expected at all!

Holy... :gonk:
I only spend up to 2k and that's it.

Alaunt 08-01-2011 05:58 PM

Nice. I like . . . though, I have to wonder how much posting I'll get done besides this one post. >.<

Oh... well... Maybe my view on the gold sink is a bit skewed. xD;
But yeah... The gold sink drains my gold supplies. A lot.

Dottie Mae Evans 08-01-2011 06:04 PM

Wow, this sounds really awesome! ^_^; I am still thinking about whether or not if I should buy CIs with gold or Mennies. :)
