Chao?

Its a very interesting idea actually. An alternative thing to do though would be to buy the chao and maybe just raise them in chao paridise instead of selling them? And there could be a game were you could win things for your chao like a vending machine and the prizes could be chao fruit, toys, etc.

the only problem I see with this is people lying and getting stuff essentially for free.

and that's a pretty big flaw

Could have it to where the chao is similar to a title under your name, and only an admin could modify it. Then you could spend rings on it to upgrade it or whatever. Sounds like it would be purely aesthetic though.

On a side note, is there even a store anymore to spend rings on? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I know there was one at some point.

3 yes. 1 no.

Sounds genius. The only comment I have to make is either the status would be upgraded weekly because everyone has to pay enough to get a chao in the first place, rather than paying to have it upgraded.

I'm not sure I understand how you'd raise the chao.

I don't think we've come up with a way to actually raise it per say, just having one at the moment.

Not that I actually care but I know a few ways you could use to "raise" them:

1. Real Time; Ex. When you get a chao you have to wait a certain number of days until it matures, depending on how much you've visited the forum during those days decides the outcome of your chao. So, let's say you visit the forum 7 days out of a period of 7 maturing days, this will cause your chao to mature into a Hero Chao. (It doesn't obviously mean you have to stay away for a week to get a dark chao, other variables can be used to decide an outcome.)

2. Rings; Ex. A much more "involved" form of raising a chao could be using rings to buy items for it. Items could include animals, fruit, and those weird tubes or whatever. This will also allow you to have more "customization" as you could say giving your chao a rabbit will give it rabbit ears. To get Hero and Dark chao you could have it so spending a lot of rings on yours will make it eventually turn into a hero and neglecting it like an awesome person will make it go dark.

You could also even combine my two suggestions and make it extra complicated.

Hmm, it's an interesting idea. I still have a bunch of chao sprites from back in the olden days, so there could be a bit of visual form added in.

As for the first idea about chao forms, have seven days be the maturity point. You buy the kind of chao fruit you want to evolve the chao to whichever form.

I'd rather buy the chao fruit to decide its alignment as I prefer evil chao. Also, hats. My chao just won't be the same without the signifying skull.

Man. Nuva is really a random anti-hero person.

Which is odd because I've been told that I'm a nice guy. They were probably mistaken.

Do we actually have anyone who could implement this to the forum, or would be willing to? If not, then there's really not much point in this other than wishful thinking (which I've got nothing against).

This way is better. :D

Nuva's incredibly nice, it's always good to see him post. :):

Anyway, Zezima and I talked about the idea, and we have a way of implementing it, so feel free to keep discussing it so it stays on our minds.

Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it.

Also, I'm pretty excited now about this chao thing now. OK, so as for possible idea: The chao is either given free to every user, or as a use for all the rings we've been accumulating (I prefer the latter). Like it was suggested, you could maybe buy powerups and alignment fruit, also with rings. Maybe have it mature after a set amount of days, or maybe have a prerequisite and after having it you can mature the chao at any time. The chao would be neutral, unless given a certain amount of alignment fruit. Maybe have options for color, hats, and looks?

Your nice all the time I was just kidding. :P and your idea is great! :D

Thanks, all of you are too kind. You're all probably just collaborating together to make me feel good, calling me nice and whatnot.

Also who will own the chao paradise perhaps a person who knows alot about chaos?

What's this about a chao paradise? Do you mean like a chao garden? I'm rather confused now.

We already have a forum called "chao garden"

Well I don't mean like a forum in specific, maybe if someone is daring they could make a flash game or something on this website to implement the chao they got. At least that's what I thought of when a chao garden was mentioned, however unlikely the end result would be.

Certainly would add some RPG to the forums!
Have say, bars for different stats... like strength, health or intellect... and we can spend rings on buying blocks for those bars...
We can also spend rings for buying chaos and customizing them.
You can get creative and do things like have a sudden epidemic that kills all chaos with less than x-amount of health or strength... xP
Might start to sound like something a pokemon rpg style forum might do, but it would be interesting.

I'm going to talk to Zez about it.

I would think having something that kills chao would be a very bad idea, but that's just me. If we could get someone to actually do this, it seems like a nice way to make the forum stand out.
