As simple as the title suggests - moves, forum posts, tournie entries, clan challenges are charged to the user on a pay per item basis.

E.g.

Move = 1p
Start New Game = 5p
Tournie Entry = £1
Forum Post = 2p
Join Clan = £2
Clan challenge = 10p

When sub is next due, admin invoices for previous subscription periods accrued amount, and paying that then allows subscription to continue. If not paid, it's back to the 6 game limit and ads on every page.

Any thoughts?

That's a great idea, can you make the rates in US$ though?

I would like to see anyone winning a game get a small kick back, a couple of pennies say. You could also use your banked $ to bet on games.

I like the idea of paying for forum posts. I bet it would cut down on the number of crap ideas put forth here.

I believe my earlier statement to be the best response for this very reason 🙂

You'll have to put some more Ho's on the street to keep up with the volume you've been producing.

Not wanting to knock an idea flat, but I disagree with this one:

My Stats
Moves: 8843 = £88.43
Games Started: 40ish = £2
Tournaments: 12 = £12
Forum Posts: 189 = £3.78
Clans Joined: 3 = £6
Clan Challenges issued: 11 = £1.10
__________________________________
Total for the Year = £108.31

Think I'll stick to $29.99 (£17ish) if that's OK with you.

The rates I put forward for an example. The rates admin decide on must remain competitive in the market.

Perhaps not a charge per move then?

Would you object if it was 0.1p? I.e. You bought blocks of 10 moves per penny?

That'd reduce your ytd cost on moves to £8.84.

This fee would also be balanced out by cash rewards for games won and betting on games. You could also pay the admins to inflict harsh punishment on forum retards. I'd be willing to put up some cash to have the admins send Scribbles a turd in a box to his home address.

Who would supply the turd? Could you send your own to be forwarded on, or must admin produce (edit - a suitable specimen) on demand?
