Has anybody thought about creating a Top Trumps style mod which uses the data from vbExperience?



I used to love playing the game as a kid and the thought of being able to use it on my forum, using my members as the cards tickles me somewhat!

The cards themselves would take their info from:

----
Username
Forum Rank
Avatar Picture
----
Level
Activity
Total Posts
Posts Per Day
----

The top three values (Username, Forum Rank, Avatar) would form the title and the picture of the card whilst the bottom four values (Level, Activity, Total Posts, Posts Per Day) would form the card stats.

The beauty of the this would be that the cards would change dynamically in relation to members forum usage. Many of them might make a point of using the forum more often in order to increase the value of their stats too.

There are loads of potential features that I can think of - although it would probably complicate things, but I'm thinking of stuff like:

1. Game room which lists current games, plus lets members challenge other members to a game.

2. Link in with awards system which gives a prize to users if they win a defined number of games.

3. A setting which only creates a trump card once a user has got past a certain point level. This would ensure that the game would not include all the non-posters who might over-run any stats. It might also give forum members yet more incentive to post if they knew that they could become a trump card.

4. Link in with vbCredits so that users could actually buy more trump cards.

5. Live or practice games - members can choose to risk losing their cards to other members or play for fun - cards are returned to the respective member at the end of a game. Again, this could be reflected in the points awarded - ie live games would add or remove points from a users experience whilst practice games would have no effect on their point level.

If somebody could have all this sorted by 8:30am tomorrow morning, I'd be eternally grateful! Seriously though, I think it would make a great mod and would certainly give users a reason to keep posting!

Opinions?!
