CTF Cash is a made up currency used on CTF.

Currently you are very limited on what you can do with CTF Cash. We are working on a system that you will be able to spend this cash and it will be released in the near future.

The Way You Get CTF Cash:
You receive cash by posting. Each section pays a certain amount for posts. I will post a chart later showing the amounts you receive in each section. You will always make more cash by starting a new topic rather than just replying.

You can also have CTF Cash donated to you by another member. You can do this by clicking the DONATE button that is in their post or by using the CTF Cash CP located at the top of the screen in the menu.

Any cheating will have you thrown out of the CTF Cash system. This means if our mods or admins find you creating topics or posts just trying to get rich with CTF Cash...your cash will be zeroed out and you may even be taken off the cash system.

The Bank
You can add cash into the bank. It will gain a 1% interest rate on it per day. This is a good way to build up some extra cash. For example, if you place 100 CTF cash in the bank, it will grow by 1 CTF Cash a day.

The Store
Currently you can only purchase the option to change your title.

The Lotto
You can purchase lotto tickets to try and win more CTF Cash.

If you have any questions on the system please post them in this thread. Thanks.

Assorted CTF Cash FAQ's and Information

QUOTE

Can points be taken away? Maybe that would moderate some people who post untasteful and uncharitable things.

Yes I can take away or add points to people. If it is abused that could happen.

QUOTE

Does each post pay a certain amount?

Yes. In the description of each section it will tell you what you get. NEW means new topics and REPLY means replies you make.

QUOTE

Is this going to affect the arcade?

Right now its not integrated with the arcade yet. I plan on doing it just not right yet.

QUOTE

How exactly does the lottery work?

You buy a ticket...and it adds to the pot and it draws at 7pm est. The pot starts at 100 right now. I may increase it later on.

QUOTE

I have another question.... if a topic is moved from "Polls" do "Debates" (or something else), do the people receive the "point difference" between those two sections?

Example: I create a thread in the "Poll" section and receive 5 points. The first three responders receive 3 points each. Then the thread is moved to "debates." Would I receive an extra 15 points, and the first three responders and extra 7 points, because of this? (Presuming that any "new" responders would receive 10 points per post).

Unfortunately that can't be done. There is no easy way to really code that and doing it manually would be a major pain especially if there were like 20 replies already.

QUOTE

Does this have any effect on the blogs?

It shouldnt. I didn't make any code changes in there...

QUOTE

Will this affect the Chat any?

No.

QUOTE

So, do you have to pay every time you want to change your custom member title, or just for the ability thereafter?

Pay every time....sorry

QUOTE

I'm only like 50 posts away from the 1200 mark (previously this was the point of a custom title, correct?) Now, with this new implantation, will I have to purchase this ability?

Yes you will. Sorry.

QUOTE

If you have earned the right to a custom title (i.e you have 10 dots) do you have to pay?

yes you still have to pay unfortunately

If someone was "taken out" of the CTF point system, would they also lose the option to change their "custom title?" (as they couldn't pay for it?)

There is not a way to be "taken out" of the points system.

Where do I go to view my cash? How do I get there? Is it on my profile?

The menu at the top marked "Games" has a drop down item named "CTF Cash"
