i think that play games and are moving the mouse, typing, doing whatever on games that where you leave the game page the game pauses itself should get you AP points for every minute you play. this has problems cause people might leave a game open for the ap or just go to another page and type and stuff to keep the ap going... but can you figure out a way? i like playing the games and i rate a game and comment on it, and if its good, there is an hour or so of play time and that gets you no ap so... yeah :P

Every hour maybe, but just playing them isn't enough. I could just hang out doing the same thing for hours, and accumulate thousands of points.

I see where your coming from, but its not a good idea. You get AP for trying out games and giving the creator feedback (rate + comment) OR for helping the community (forum posts). Not for playing games.

The AP you would normally get for giving feedback to other devs. would be giving to you for playing one dev.'s game.

You could get an AP bonus for placing on a high score board.

No we don't

Interesting but most game don't have then anyway and who is going to go through all the effort of installing the system?

The way AP is organized, is done well. The only thing that seems broken is giving so few or at all AP for making a game. Either it should be zero since most people spend all their time making games and don't care about AP. Or a substantial sum to entice people to participate if they have the ability.

*rolls eyes*. See, I love it when people shoot down their own idea in their own OP.

Exactly. Because there are newbs who will spam and cheat for AP, because they care. Good grief people! AP doesn't do jack. Why do you care? I just don't get it. If you enjoy the game, then play the game! That's the point of the site; games, not AP. And if you enjoy the games, then play them, not for the AP. AP needs some kind of effort.

Cheats and hacks.

Another good point.

Well if there were an achievement/AP system this is what would happen;

1) The achievements would give to many APs.
2) People would complain
3) The Avatars cost would be raised.
4) People would complain
5) We start all over

not really, If you set a timer and tell the timer that if its one hour show a image and add 10 to the ap of the person.

My thoughts on this matter are very short...

It's fine the way it is... you get AP for commenting/rating/reviewing and a merit bonus if you make an effort in your reviews!
If anyone wants more AP... put your back into it and start writing!

My sentiments exactly. Some people just want AP. I don't see why they care; and even if they do, then put some effort into it!

I hate to say what many other people have said in these circumstances but...

Ag really doesn't need any other way to get AP. Besides, AP is just a fake form of non-money that really serves no other purpose than flaunting it around and bragging about what avatars you have. If you really want a cool avatar, submit one to the contest in the art section and then use it! I made this one about a year ago, and I love it to death. That's why I still use it

Point being, you don't need AP to be cool. You need to be a moderator to be cool. And you need to be like Cenere over there in order to be a moderator. More strictly, though.
