I would like to take a moment to introduce the community to two new mods we have added to the forums. These mods were created to both recognize members for their achievements and create a little fun and provide recognition for forum activity.
First we have what is known as VB Experience (http://www.transcendencegaming.org/forums/xperience.php). You can find the main section of VB experience (http://www.transcendencegaming.org/forums/xperience.php) in by selecting Experience (http://www.transcendencegaming.org/forums/xperience.php) from the drop down menu on our navbar at the top of the site. This will list for you tons of useful information that you can go look at and read on your own.
The gist of VB Experience (http://www.transcendencegaming.org/forums/xperience.php) is two categories. These are achievements and awards.
Achievements: All members can gain an achievement. If you qualify for the achievement then you will get it and never lose it. All achievements when received are posted in your user information section in every post you can make. People can see the amount of achievements you have received and look at each ones title by simply placing their mouse over the achievement icon.
Awards: Only once member can hold an award at any time. The deal is though, they may not always hold the award. We have created several awards which can be won, stolen, and re-stolen again and again. Essentially, if you are the best at the category, then you can hold the award. This helps to recognize the top members in different aspects of the forums.
----------------------------
Now onto the second mod. We call this one TOGERS. Many of you have been noticing in your profile that you are earning TOGERS and that their is a link in the navbar at the top. Essentially TOGERS means Transcendence Online Gaming Esoteric Reward System.
Q&A Time
Q: How do I earn TOGERS?
A: TOGERS is earned by simply posting. Now this does not mean spamming, as we can remove your TOGERS or block you from the system at any time we fill like it. So be sure that you are actually making useful posts and not spamming the forums.
Q: What do I do with TOGERS?
A: You spend them of course...oh you mean on what. Well currently we have only set-up a few things, but their is a TOGERS Store that you can go and spend your TOGERS on. This store will be expanding over time with many more options, but currently you can change your username, add colors to it, bold it, change your user title, or add color to your user titles. Each of these effects are limited to a certain amount of time in which after they expire your name and user title will revert. We will add in support for permanent changes in the future.
Q: What the hell does esoteric mean?
A: Well Supreme thought he would be cool and create this new work and build his own Wikipedia article around it. I think he said it means something along the lines of "sex money". No in all seriousness it is an actual word, and I originally had no clue what it meant. If you are like me you can find the actual definition here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=tn3&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&defl=en&q=define:esoteric&ei=WNvzS43fBYOBlAfWzJn5DA&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title&ved=0CBIQkAE).
--------
Well this is just the beginning. We are also in development of all of our games websites as well as some additional mods to help the community be more of a community. Be on the lookout for ninja changes to the forums and get your post on!
