There should be a point reward for beating a game on here.

This should mainly go with Action/Adventure games.

There will be more opportunities to earn points in the future. For now, I think we have an interesting idea coming up that we might implement soon and it may concern earning more points.

We want to do something fun and original for the site .

ya, like carlie said, that was kongregates idea, it is an ok one but I don't think it would work great on this site, and that would actually be like rewarding people who just hack the game to beat it, sorry

Keeping track of who won a game would be hard, because I don't think the site would know if a user beats the game. If it could be done without too much hassle, it's a great Idea. Nice Ideas ubertuna!

Well, Kongregate seems to know how to do that. I say that we borrow their system and use it for a different purpose!

If armorgames had multiplayer games it would be easy to give points for besting a random player at those....

Definately. There needs to be some kind of reward for playing the games. That's what I thought would happen at first when I signed up. I know that's what Kongregate does, but there's no reason Armor Games can't do that as well. All the sites share games to begin with anyway.

Carlie said: But that is pretty much exactly what Kongregate does. We can't really go around copying other sites ideas.


Yes, but Yahoo! also gives points for "Merits(Best answer)" and for answering questions.

Many other sites have the same point system you do.

Also, there are freakin THOUSANDS of game sites.

Hundreds of people in this community simply click on a game, wait for it to load, and then rate it.

If anyone actually plays the game, they forget to rate it!

If we included this, then people would go on this site to play, not to get points.

Do you want more people on these forums talking about how to beat game and which are the most fun, or spamming for points?

I personally dont think Kongregate would even say a word about it.

Do we care about the people that are just here for points?

In fact, it would be in the site's interest for the to only rate, because the site would get more ad revenue.

I think this is a terrible idea, because it will do nothing but lead to point inflation.

Kane, a lot of people on this site do care about getting points, just because your emo self doesn't like points, doesn't mean you gotta bring everyone else down.

"I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself"

I like the sense of accomplishment that comes with actually earning the ranks through the points now. Why dilute that with a thousand ways to get points? Getting the Gold King/Queen rating is boring if 3,000 other people have it too.

Did you not just say that it would do nothing but lead to point inflation?

This idea would also lead to the users here to have more interest in even the less ''boring'' games. Another cause to play them.
