Question:
is this a good idea?
Option 1: yes
Option 2: no
Option 3: i have a different idea
ok so now you all have karma pizza points ((https://thebackalleys.com/forum/awards/pizza-m.png)) and i think that they should serve some actual purpose
basically how they work is that you can give or take away 1 pizza point per person every 24 hours
give them to people for making cool art, a helpful post, or just being super kawaii
take one away if someone tells a bad joke or is being a huge douche, etc
because of the limitations of how many can be given out and how they can be taken away, it's not easy to accumulate a lot of them (i think).
so, my idea was that for every 100 pizza points you acquire, i will buy you an actual pizza. i will even order it for you if you want me to. limit 1 topping and large size.
i'lll probably set up a paypal for this like i did with the contests just in case a lot of people end up winning pizzas, and they are not necessarily cheap when ordering, either way though i think this would be fun and i will do it if you guys like the idea.
in the future i will also try to set up a way for you to get pizza points by posting more, contributing to the site and getting awards, etc, instead of just getting them by chance from other people. but i'll have to code something for that later.
in the meantime i'd like to hear your thoughts. good idea? bad idea? got a better idea?
I think its a pretty good idea. I don't think anyone has a problem with free pizza. There is times when we all just sorta post something dumb and maybe someone feels strongly against it and would like to point it out in other ways. Sounds fun and I imagine no ones desperate enough for free stuff to try to abuse the system.
You had me at pizz
more pizza and more kawaii. i am ok with this.
all we need now is a meeple counter
I'm okay with this. Although I bet rtil will be the first one... to buy himself a pizza
popularity contest WTF!

well yeah that's why I voted "no". People who aren't liked too much on the forums will never be able to get a lot of pizzapoints even if they post cool stuff, other people will just get pizza points for normal or even stupid posts.
don't really see the idea behind that, unless I get one of the free pizzas that is.

right now, yes, i could see how that would be a problem. however, i plan to implement other ways you can get points in the future. for example, contributing something to the site, a free one every 50 posts, referring friends who post, finding bugs or offering suggestions that i implement to the site, etc.
in the future, i think it will be more about how much you contribute to the site and less about people's individual votes/slices.
I think pizza points should be kept contribution related. Giving a pizza point every X number of posts just gets people to post more, not better.
Its not by posts but rather anyone that + or subtracts your Karma/pizza points on the left corner of your profile. Unfortunately it could lead up to a popularity contest but I'm sure there would be people correcting if they see something off for someone that just always says dumb stuff to have like 20 pizza points in one week. But yeah I can see contributions being a better way to reward or maybe 100 isn't really at a high enough number to match possible pizza points that could be earned daily.
this idea is fucking great!

that pizza doesn't look very appetizing
i vote yes, solely on the idea of getting free pizza from the internet

it could work. for every 50 or 100 posts or so, you get a pizza point. for every bad post, someone will subtract a pizza point.
if someone spams, they'll end up losing way more than they gain.
it keeps the forum active and allows a form of self-moderation. and only real douchebags would spam to get fuckin pizza points. honestly, who needs a free pizza that bad? it's just a fun little activity, i think it's a good idea.
will there be punishments for getting really negative pizza points (perhaps a "rewards" icon reading something like "bad at pizza points" / "owes pizza")
or
if i get -100 pizza points do i then owe you a pizza
if trent bortnob gets to -50 i'll buy the 50th voter a pizza
And that's the ParkourMAN promise!
The ability to add/subtract pizza points seems to be unavailable to me, but I don't know why
i love this and i love the new forum (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.anikaos.com%2F0010-brownusagi%2Fkaos-brownusagi04.gif&hash=457bfc795998c9848664f3cc68535b2d50270263)
Good thinking!
this idea rules gimme some fuckn pizza point for this post
ok
i'm also going to remove the -1 pizza point button because i think it would be unfair to have people lose points they earn when i add automated points.
you dirty communist
communal pizza
FUK YEA PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmmm pizzzaaaaaa
i guess this means contests will be back, won't they?
1th place: 15 points
2nd place: 10 points
3rd place: 5 points
hmm that's a good idea actually, i didn't think of that.
I like this pizza idea haha. And hooray if contests do make a return : ]
i love you guys
pizza points for everyone
cool
btw the text of the PP should be white, it's kinda hard to read as a black text.
also if the contest shall return i would happily volunteer to make the topics and all that again.
i for one welcome this new system.
let's inject some molten hot cheese into this old place
you faggots are gonna sabotage me, i know
Get away from me before I bite your dick off!
-3 wtf
yeah actually i'll enter the art contests if it means i'll get pizza

in the rare event that someone does not wish to partake in pizza , i will buy them any dinner that is around the equivalent price of one large delivery pizza
I tried to give Tao a pizza point and it took one away from him :c
I think he might of had negative pizza points at the time.
rtil change my name to "3D Pizza Master" i think ill get more pizza points that way
Lmao, this is a great idea.
am i supposed to be able to give pizza points to more than 1 person per day? 'cause then in 100 days i could make everyone have 100 pizza points and you would have to buy a lot of pizzas.
yes, you can give 1 point to every person once every 24 hours. but if that system is abused, i will just increase the hourly limit ;)

pizza is a great way to motivate people.

the pizza points are dispersed to my north korean factory. they can be redeemed for gold star stickers
I think since hes offereing us all a pizza, in exchange if he gets 100 pizza points, we all each have to buy him a pizza :b
excellent suggestion cvg. a pizza point for you
bumping because sinitron has over 100 pizza points what do (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F71%2F047Dp0_what%2520do.png&hash=62c9e07074a45e7f489190f6817edc2504551cf7)
i voted 'no' on the poll get owned
now look what happened
can i have sinitron's pizza then?
NO
unless you would trade eternal fealty and servitude for a mere pizza
that would be kinda cool i guess
alternative: replace pizza points with food stamps
i have a brood to nourish you know (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJWIgD.png&hash=084e38e2dc35b7dc651e6dd9bf789112588665dc)
this is an important day in the companionship of my two dear friends, rtil and sinitron
after all, you know what they say: "You don't know a man until he orders you a pizza"
you may redeem your 100 pizza points for a pizza or anything of equal value to what i would consider the value of a delivered pizza (no more than $20)
Congrats Sinitron! :)
Congratz to yah mon.
Isnt Sinibuns in Europe so this prolly wont work with the pizza? I dont know!
Rtil could always draw him a pizza and mail it out.

well im pretty sure that in norway, just like in denmark, everyone speaks good english due to subbed television and a somewhat nice school system. rtil would just have to call. alternatively sin could probably get a colored sketch or something from rtil for the 20$, i'd like to see how he draws sin tbh!!
or it could accumulate over time, so when i get like 500 pizza points he can get me something COOL... yeh
get the pizza you shithead!
idk 20$ isn't really enough to cover a whole pizza i don't think unless i go buy some dirt cheap ones in a store
there's no way it would cover the expenses of ordering a pizza
huh, that's weird cuz i can get a large pizza delivered to my place for less than $20, tip included. but i'm willing to go over that a little although anything more than $30 and i'd be skeptical cuz that sounds ridiculous for delivery unless you're ordering for more than 1 person. still, you can do with it what you like. i suppose you could also allow it to accumulate and you'd have twice as much to use when you have 200 points. but if you decide to do that you can't change your mind
yeah sure
i'm just saying we don't have any cheap delivery things here
for the most part they make the pizza themselves instead of just heating it, or the distance to deliver it is ridiculous
between the raw materials, salaries for at least 2 people (person preparing it and driver) as well as the distances that need to be covered, it starts getting pricy
alternatively it miiiiiiiight be possible to pick it up somewhere but only if the place i'm thinking of wasn't shut down already (been a few years since i was last here)
actually i have a better idea HMMM
uh I dont think I've heard of or seen a pizza delivery place that doesnt make its own pizzas
maybe pizza hut

at 20$ it's got to be either prefab plastic or a sweatshop full of spics
I'm quite sure its just a sweatshop full of white trash
yeah well around here we have actual civilization and culture, no sweatshops, spics or white trash
just fucking gypsies
those gypsies are ripping you off
Pizzaaaaaaaaaaa

hail europe
our pizza is subsidized
the govt is controlling the flow of pizza w/ low prices
i am still willing to eat sinitron's pizza, fyi
that's cute but would you eat my ass too?
foods are generally more expensive outside of the US i'm pretty sure. people also spend more money on food outside of the US and maybe the UK
it's better because it's more realistic. people pay legitimate prices for legitimate food. at least i'm pretty sure that's how it is. i've never been to europe
