Default Lets take it to a WHOLE nother level.

apologies to the title, I wanted to capture attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJnGRuidOXI Now lets get to it. Lets further the idea of community points in altitude. I recommend giving all accounts a 300-500 boost of community points (depending on how much you do for the community). But before that we should bring in new ideas for the usage of these points not just skins.
I had the idea to bring in a "Dual Challenge" I would love to challenge and be challenged by other players. We can have a little icon pop up when you wish to challenge a player. I.e. "tab" window right clicking the player will give you the challenge to a dual option. We can then go further from there maybe have race challenges.

Now im eager to hear more ideas come from this because with this idea i wish for people to become more involved in altitude, and get "hooked" with more things and community points would be a great way to get altitude in gamers spotlight.

This reminds of the initial multiplayer reveal of some big name first person shooter (MOH or Black Ops, I think), where there were game modes where you could bet some kind of points. Top 3 of the scoreboard received points, and everyone else got nothing. Then there's the problem of what happens if you lose all your points. But the only drawback I see (aside from lots of time/work from devs' lives) is an exponential increase in average rage levels. Right now ladder ratings mean nothing- imagine what would happen if people lost points that actually meant something O_o

Still think the ability to bet Comunity Points or some variant and buy skins/emblems/etc. with them would be an awesome addition.

How about we have a "Bank" that will loan you money with, say 10%-20%, interest. Then, you could win your money back, if you can, and pay the "Bank" back. And the longer you keep the money without paying the "bank" back, or withdrawing more, you get a higher interest rate. Also, so that someone can't just keep withdrawing without ever paying the "Bank" back, we could have a suspension time from withdrawal.

I could see how some people might get into the negatives and it would be very very tough to get out, so what about mini games? Like a race against a few bots, or an FFA game with some bots. If not mini games, then maybe just more points for games with atleast 8-10 people. (Not much, just a few points)

I dunno, how does that sound?

I like that idea now the problem is figuring out good ways to get and "battle" for the points. I dont want to make this a big thing but a little part of altitude which can make the dailt gameplay fun. thats why i said a 1v1 Dual type idea or race. We have that race map so this could work. But i dont want to blow this out of preparation, if this goes to far it could fail. thats why i want little things

No thanks. Duels would be a time anchor fest and that would get boring rather quickly.

This thread is going nowhere.

Banks with community points and stuff? Wtf.

If Karl/lam really want to make some money and give the players something extra: new (and these better be awesomesauce) skins (or something customizable LIKE HATS holy ****) which you can buy for a dollar or two. This will $$$ for you, and players will be happy because of customization and stuff.

This works, I mean: farmville and habbo hotel? Retarded "games" but buyable customization options brings in the dough.

imo if that happens you cant have it in APL games and ladder.

also i just want like a duel thing where challenging an opponent would be fun.
the bank and betting part is a little to much.
