This is a complicated new piece of technology but bear with me.
I was thinking it would increase activity if people could invite their friends. Now on a lot of sites I see people invite friends or themselves, receive awards for it, but then the friends or their alternate accounts don't do anything. Size is kind of a matter for us so we can't have that. So I thought up a scoring system:
Invitation Station is a thread where we keep track of a person and everyone they invite, kind of like a Battle Forest Campground. Anyway, a person could invite their friends and their friends would be put under their names on the post (Example 1).
Every two weeks we check and see how many posts an invited member has made so far and we keep track of that on the giant thread.
Once an invited person has reached 50 posts the inviter receives 1 point. (Points will go up every 50 posts.) However! If they invite someone who has never posted they will be docked 1 point, which can change if that person ever posts or leaves the guild. If that person leaves the guild the docked point disappears.
This is where it kind of becomes a pyramid scheme. Say I invited __penguin__. __penguin__ has posted 500 times which means I get a whopping 10 points! __penguin__ has invited tashes who only posted 100 times which means __penguin__ gets 2 points off of tashes and I get 1 point off of tashes.
So for the chain of who invites who, it doubles. I invited pen, I get a point every 50 posts she makes, she invites tashes, I make a point every 100 posts she makes, tashes invites gwennafran, I make a point every 200 posts she makes. It just keeps doubling.
So now I have 11 points but I also invited Kiniro_Tsuki who has *never* posted so I'm docked a point which leaves me at 10.
