Turn the cookies into a decentralized, cryptographically secure P2P protocol that would take the hardware capabilities of cracking RSA-4096 in order to mine them.

At the moment giving a cookie is the same as adding one without taking one from yourself. Same goes for stealing a cookie, you take one but you dont get one.

We could make it so the cookies function as a currency, you give and you take. But that would always limit the amount of cookies in circulation unless we add new ones from time to time. This will also make it harder for new members to give cookies because they would start with 0.

What do people think?

Nope, just leave it the way it is.
People shouldn't think like "Ah I only have 10 cookies left, should I really give one?"

I agree with the above , it would create a weird situation.

However the idea of some kind of currency on evilzone with whatever purpose sounds interesting, interesting and aweful at the same time, the real world aint that pretty either.

This is a double post , I know.

How is it possible to have - x cookies.
Should that be considered debt?
Can I also borrow cookies in that case?

unless im greatly mistaken cookies shown is your combination of old +/- karma system and that when the -karma was "removed" it wasnt so much removed as disabled, so the negative database/portion was still intact. so if you had +20 and -40 your total is -20 cookies now.

I noticed that.

However this was more of a practical aim.
Like I can have 5 cookies and eat them , however having -5 cookies is just weird.

I strongly disagree with EZ currency. Whether it be cookies or wheat grains.

No no, there will not be any currency on Evilzone.
About the cookies: yes, it's the same karma system but wrapped in a pretty cloth displaying total of the cookies. You can think of the negative cookies that you're in debt and you must contribute to pay your debt because that way people will give back your cookies.

It's a simple concept that I hope will smack some fun into the community :P the whole Karma crap was getting too... boring?

lol add a top "cookies" of the month status board top 3 get an actual package of cookies! The bottom 3 (most neg cookies) have to buy them or spend a month in stocks in the village square! its WIN WIN!


anyway on the serious side i have noticed(i suppose we will see if it keeps up) at least so far just changing the name from karma to cookies has seemed to have allowed people to have a lot more fun with the system, while maintaining its purpose. Amazing what a difference just a name makes.

I agree. The name "cookies" make it look less serious.
