A game?

  Would it be possible to implement a card game as a flash or something?
  
  Ya know, sorta like Triple Triad for FF8 but easier and mabi themed?

  Osayidan will only add it if there's one already programmed for vBulletin

  Case in point: KHInsider Forums

  No, Trigger's being MegaMan.

  I wouldn't know.
  
  I've never played Megaman until I played a demo of 10.

  Theres a few things, but they're kind of pointless.
  
  What would be cool is if RPG Infero was re-created (Done by the guy at DBTech, but his partner bailed on him), as you could fully customize the RPG system.

  I can look into that the same time I do the arcade, which I have no idea is when. Now that I actually play mabi things keep getting mysteriously delayed:oops:

  I would highly suggest you don't add an arcade:
  
  1) Kills post count, as people spend more time in the arcade.
  2) Raises load of the server considerably
  3) Increases bandwidth usage
  4) Raises disc usage
  
  Unless you have a better than entry-level VPS I'd suggest not adding it, and instead adding minigames that work off of the current point system (Triad is a good way).

  With the first point, we can always make the arcade more arcade like, where you have to spend your gold on coins that you can use to play the games. That way, if you want to play the games, you're going to have to post on the forums and be active with it. And if you set the price for said coins to like 5 gold per coin, then it wouldn't be a struggle to get enough to play a game. Though I can't really argue against the other points.

  On guru the arcade was a deserted wasteland, even during mabi maintenance. Which is my main reason for probably not adding one, because it would get so little attention, making it not worth it. Even if I was on a dedicated server I would only add it if it looked like a large number of people would make use of it, and even then if activity on it dropped I'd take it down.
  
  So even when I say "the same time I do the arcade" it means when I go download it and test it, if we actually get it or not will first depend on if it works well, and then later if the community in general has any interest in it.
  
  The software for arcade i'm looking into is the same one as on guru, and guru is on a shared hosting and we pretty much never had any issues despite the admin never being around. Which is probably due to so few people using it, which goes back to my other point of not bothering with it if no one will use it.

  I was posting that so that Osay knew of it, as the developer only recently got back into vBulletin development (With the release of vB4).
  
  Inferno is probably the best forum-based RPG system I ever used (Except for one for Woltlab), however his partner made off with most of the income, and the project died.
  
  I have him on my MSN, and I talked to him about the possibility, and he said possibly after all of the other products are finished.
