Idea for making people read the start of game info
« on: May 08, 2007, 04:45:17 PM »

Its a pretty simple idea:

How about when people sign up, they have to take a short test to show that they understand some of the rules and stuff? Those who pass get a little reward (in gems not gold or the gold would end up on people's main accounts) and those who fail lose a/some turn(s) and have to retake the test every game day till they pass

Just an idea, I dont think its that great but maybe its worth thinking about?


Edit: one thing im gonna miss when they actually start reading the info is the witty replies, eg:

 <AKA>Academy Student UzumakiGaara whispers, "where do i find a dragon"
 <SXS>Ċộŋdộŕ Ħeřo Bonta whispers, "You have to collect 7 dragon balls and summon the dragon..."

There is already a noob guide when someone signs up and you can't chat unless you read the FAQ. I don't think we should pester people more than that.

Yeah... I notice, but both the full page of text and FAQ clearly arent working, if I had a dollar for every time someone asked how to get to genin or how to kill orochimaru or who the dragon is, I'd get myself a big house in Hollywood and buy Microsoft with the change.

There are noobs everywhere, it's just something you have to deal with. I don't see as much of a problem it was in the past with new players asking questions. And besides, they would probably just ask people for the answers to the questions through a PM.

Actually, such a test is in place at a site I know. We can incorporate something like that.

I think a test is an excellent idea....

Even if you can't chat unless you read the FAQs, you don't even have to READ the FAQs, just click on the links to the FAQs...

Clearly what we have now isn't good enough if there are still zillions of newbies asking simple questions like how to get to Genin.

I think a test would really help with understanding and retaining information instead of idily scanning a long page of words that is mostly filled with jokes anyway. Even if the jokes are funny. >_<;;

It's not like I can create the module for it by itself... yet I can volunteer for questions.

Once I don't need to care about all the texts, the coding is simple.

Heh, very well then. I'll take care of the questions, and get back to you with them.
It'll give me something to do.
