It's a new year and so it is the perfect time to try out this new feature:
Interguild Dubloons!
What are the Interguild Dubloons?
Interguild Dubloons are a prize money of sorts for the site. These can be earned in various ways, such as entering and winning site events and competitions, doing various tasks, hosting and judging competitions and events and helping around the site.
But what makes them interesting, these Dubloons can also be used. Some events require you to pay Dubloons as an entry fee, others will allow you to bet Dubloons to possibly win back more. People might even trade Dubloons to each other to hire them for jobs or to ask for favors.
The possibilities are endless!
How do I earn these Dubloons?
For starters, you can earn a nice starting sum of 100 Dubloons simply by posting in this topic. What is easier than that?
You can also enter competitions and events to earn them. The number of Dubloons you earn will depend on the size and required effort of this event.
Next, you can complete tasks. For example, have you tried finding Interbot yet? A new thread will be made where these tasks will be listed as well as their pay-out and where you can post which tasks you've completed.
Furthermore, you earn Dubloons for hosting competitions and such events. Your earnings in this will be less than what the winner will earn, but is still some nice pocket money. And if that is too much for you, each judge will also got a small pile of Dubloons. We can never have enough of those!
And well, that is just the start. Mafia, forum games, betting, poker tournaments, trading, doing jobs for others, anything is possible!
But be warned, if fraud is suspected punishments will be dealt.
Where can I see how many Dubloons I have?
The post right below this one.
Dubloons are not officially supported and tracked by the site such as karma is. So everything needs to be done manually. That is what this thread is for. At the conclusion of an event, the host can PM what the Dubloon pay-outs are and I will update the list here myself. I will also keep track of the various other ways Dubloons can be earned.
And to keep things more competitive, I will include a top 10 ranking. So keep competing and reach for that top spot!
Sounds great! Where do I sign up?
Right here in this thread!
Or anywhere else really. If you earn Dubloons from any source, you will be added to the list. However, if you post in this thread, you will earn a nice 100 Dubloons to start out with. And that is just great.

This is an interesting idea. Sure, I'll join.
If Dubloons ever become an official feature, please don't list it along with people's posts and karma and all that when they make a post; that section is already pretty cluttered. A good place for it to go would be somewhere on people's userpages, seeing as Dubloons are strongly tied to achievements and awards.

Eh, why not
Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters
I've been a bit busy these past two weeks. I'm updating this now and I'll start two events this weekend. I also need to come up with some challenges for everybody to earn Dubloons on.
