Came up with a game idea that might sell. Well, since i've been watching and posting on these forums it seems like a popular sport...so here's the deal in a nutshell.

You are a poster. Not like those you see on the wall about some new movie (har..always funneh)

You post and start threads to get exp.(if you don't know the word exp you don't need this game)

Every reply you make gives you, for example 5 exp. (Minimum 3 Lines)

Every extra line you write (after 6 lines) to that reply gives +1 exp.

Every quote you get about your reply gives you 3 exp.

Every thread you start gives you 2 exp but if more then 10 replies come to that thread you start to get 2 exp for each reply after that.

You go up levels and get more attributes, such as "Posting Pictars" or simpler things like "Emote Vault". Every skill has levels so putting points is very essential.

Now to stop leeching of points there's limits:

You can't post on the same thread before someone else posts after you.

You can't spam, meaning more then one line has to be written. (Read the basic things up there)

You can't post on your own thread until the limit of 10 replies has been reached, and even then the only purpose is to /bump or to keep the discussion living, no points for own posts on own threads.

Still working on this to get more stuff 'n stuff in there but do give comments. Heck, there's so much games out there (like progress quest) why not this? Ofcourse it won't make me rich but it's still a funny idea. :D

Do you get special skills when you gain a level?

To add to that, and Teh Fonz's question. Yes.

More avatars, more vault space for your smilies, more smilies, more pictar space in the pictar vault.

Also thinking of putting some item chasing in there. Not sure how it can be fitted into the forum thing but i'm sure i'll come around the nigs and nags of the problems to make it a bit more "rpg" :D

EDIT: So basicly attributes are special skills. Atleast for now.

You should get killer finishing moves like "ultimate insult" where you just rip into the poster giving you shit and everyone laughs at him.

I saw you mention progress quest, which reminded me (I'm level 70 btw) of a game that (used to?) be played on the forums there, called cornering.
basically if you got the first post on every new page (every 15th on BW?) you score a point.
ofcourse, the post has to be at least moderately on topic, it must mention you scored a corner (without editting of posts) and you can't set yourself up (ie. double posting)
was always good fun there. and generated HUGE amounts of spam in a very short time :D

Flaming is the PvP of the Forum Adventurer (TM) :D

"Thread Lock" is the ultimate move though, then people will start shouting "NERF TL FFS KTHXBYE!!!1" and i'll have to put in the "Key Holder" or some stuff like that, how about IBTL? :p

A new craze has hit the internet yet it has not been posted about in the forums...

Do you wish to use an "insta post" spell to become the first to mention it?

You roll a 2 -

The spell fails and someone beats you to it. Shouts of "OLD" arise everywhere, you edit your post to avoid more flamage, you lose all the respect of your fellow forumites.

Actually I'm been playing that game on these forums. I started out with simple posts. Then after post 20 I started to use smilies but no more than one or two, then later on quotes and finally I got a signature. Later on after post 50 or so I'll get an avatar and at some time I'll start posting pictures, upgrade my signature, more smilies and so on.
Yes, I know I'm silly.

The thing is, it would port to online play so easily. Just imagine going into forums armed with all these skills, the ability to post pictures, come out with wacky ideas and insults etc..

This game could make millions.
