Now that this idea is technically possible. I'll pitch it to the community:
Let's say I'm a new member to a new clan. This clan has a currency. Let's call it "gold". I go to a training and get 1 gold for attending. Maybe I did really well and stood out. +15 gold? Now I have 16 gold. Let's go to the clan fort and see the shop. I could buy a cool gun or buy the next promotion. Maybe the first promotion is 10 gold and the next one is 25 gold? Or I could go back to that training center and buy something to make myself look cool whenever I go there.
You get the idea. A currency tied into all aspects of the clan. This has the added benefit of making ranks harder to climb.
Just an idea. I'm sure it has it's faults that I haven't thought of. |

I like it because it is unique, and if executed right could work perfectly.

| Anyways if any clan wants to do this: I'd be willing to script it, provided you aren't some wannabe clan. |

Well the idea is okay.
I mean technically you are BUYING promotions, but earning the currency.
Also buying weapons would just cause a fort to be unfair.
Like OP guns for HRs. |

| Well, that's incentive to join the clan. Very few clan forts are ever 100% "fair". That wouldn't make any sense for the clan. |

Yeah but a lot of clans like it if all guns are available to every person.
I like the idea though.
What if you could also get BA uniforms? I mean you kinda had that idea in your original thought, I just wanted to expand on it.

The buying promotions sounds a lot like WIJ's cP system in that when you reach a certain level you automatically get promoted.
The flaws with this kind of system is that super active people can speed through promotions whilst having little actual experience and knowledge of the clan. A good example of this is a guy in WIJ who got Sentinel (highest rank obtainable just through cP, is able to host trainingd and lead at forts) in 6 days. Before the cP system the same rank took a month or two to achieve. |

Commendation System is a more refined version of what you just stated.

I'm sure it has some faults. All transactions would be stored and monitored of course. I think this is better than any other system.
And what's wrong with a hard working person getting a good rank quickly? They earned it in the same way. I see no problems with that. Of course you wouldn't be selling HR ranks away like this. |

We already have something similar.
WIJ cP
The point system
But those things such as fort shops and other accessories should be kept SEPARATE from rank/promotions |

| Does WIJ "cP" integrate into most, if not all, WIJ places? That's really the goal of my concept. |

"buying promotion is stupid and should be earned."
God that is just so silly lol. Excellent idea, it really divvies up the concept of earning your place in a clan to more than just ranks. While it does seem a little bit unusual to place shops and ranks in the same class, with some tweaking I'm sure this would be a great idea.
Sigma welcomes it if you'd like to give it a shot with us. The thing that I like personally about our dev team is we push for new things and new ideas in the clan world. Even if this doesn't work out as planned, I'd like to be able to say that Sigma tried to implement it.
If you'd be interested in joining Donar V, send me over a PM. Can't get on xf now. |

This idea was already created, just not in a "currency" format, more towards a point system that hands out a specific amount of points to a member, depending on what they have achieved in group events.
Reaching a certain amount of point can issue you a promotion.
I use to use this method with cooldude816 during the time FLAG was around. |

All you need to know is LUA, They have bots in the lua group, if you pass a course on their site, you get auto promoted

| Actually for this implementation I'd use Lua, PHP, and some MySQL. |

It's just a concept. Raiders could earn currency within the Fort. Unfortunately this creates a problem, because if you allowed them to keep that currency upon entering the group, they could use it to buy ranks. But they earned these ranks attacking the clan? Wouldn't make sense.
So I guess that's a bad part. You could let them keep the guns they bought of course. |
