Default Site Updates by Vorlx v2

Ok... So a few new additions.

On the navbar select HoC Misc and then there are a few different new options.

First is the new 'point/credit' system. This is similiar to the one that was on the 'other' HoC. I havn't tweaked it yet but you get points for all sorts of various activity on the site.

There is no HoC Shop or Bank (These are all slated in future releases by the maker of vbCredit). There is however a new HoC Credits category with a Shop, Requests and vBookie section.

vBookie is an online betting modification that utilizes the Credit system. We will be setting up bets for all sorts of things from sporting events to our tournaments and other things like that. It also utilizes the credit system.

The last new addition is something that not all of you will appreciate but I sure fucking do. It is a Stock Trader mod. It will allow you to maintain a 'mock' stock portfolio using the credit system. Currently it is setup as a 1 credit=1 dollar for simplicity. You can buy/sell stocks with the credits. The system is using real stocks with real stock prices. Thanks to RSS feeds from Yahoo.

These SHOULD be fully functional at this point but it is very easy to overlook problems so if you notice anything please PM it to me.

Happy Betting and Trading!

Thanks!

Wow, the stock market thing is insane. I love the stock market and understand it to a certain point, but most of the members here won't. A problem with it, other than difficulties knowing how to use it there's also the problem of major stocks. For example, Google sells stocks usually around 500 bucks a share and us members clearly do not have that many points right now. Although in time I can see when more people have alot of money they could invest to make more. But be forewarned that there will be lots of complaints...

I like it, but probably 90% of the other members either won't use it or not use it correctly. P.S. I bought 1 Gymboree stock for a test

That problem will fix itself over time. I agree that most won't use it, but I will and hopefully a few others will.

How nice of you to assume that most of us don't know about the stock market.

You guys are taking what he posted the entirely wrong way. He didn't mean it in a negative way. Its partially true that alot of the site won't use it, not just because of their lack of knowledge of it. Quit jumping on him over it.
