I don't believe there should just be unlimited amount a chips you can get in a day - otherwise, what is the point. This was mentioned before (by AbigailII), but will tell you what I think would be good.
Everyone who has less than X chips, get Y new chips (maxed out at X)
So how I would do it:
If a person has under 1,000 chips, they can go to their profile and click on an option to get more chips.
A pawn can get 250 additional chips a day (current lowest amount table is 250, so if they lose a lot - they can still play at least once a day)
A Bishop & above can get 500 additional chips a day
So if someone has 800 chips - they can go to their profile and click "add more chips" - and they will be back up to 1000 chips.
So if someone has 100 chips - they can go to their profile and click "add more chips" - and a pawn will then have 350 chips, everyone else would have 600 chips.
===========================
I would also like to throw out an idea for something to look at in the future. Since some people will just keep gaining & gaining chips forever (well if they are good poker players) - the idea to have "awards" or "prizes" that people can "buy" with their chips. Like a 50,000 chip award where a player can turn in 50,000 chips to get this award to display on their profile (of even little ribbons under the picture on a poker table if they wanted - or a little star on the picture on a poker table for every award that they have got.)
This is just a quick thought - a lot more detail & prizes & awards & ribbons & stuff like that can be thought of... nothing to really do right now, but as time moves on and people start to accumulate more chips - it's an idea to help "remove" some of the chips from the system... and reward the players who achieve it at the same time.
coan.net: I think that is a GREAT idea! That is probably the best way to control the amount of chips in play. Something visual in the poker room is definitely a good idea, maybe make certain items upgradable, such as a prize cup, you can get the next biggest one once you get to a certain chip count. The only thing that might get in the way is that we don't want to add to many things to the poker interface that don't have anything to do with the game and would crowd the screen. Another thing that Fencer could maybe consider is allowing the exchange of chips for brains. You could cash at a certain exchange rate of chips to brains. That might be kind of getting too close to playing for real money, but since you can't actually get cash for brains it might be OK.
nodnarbo: I thought about chips -> brains, but don't like the idea. You really get into a grey area, the inflation of chips would be a serious problem, and collusion would become a serious problem. Better forget that idea imo.
And again, I don't see the problem with people reloading more than once a day. This is Poker for fun, not for money. What do people earn from dumping away chips and reloading frequently? Only playing experience, nothing more. You will never be able to reload when you have more than the starting chips, I really don't see the point in excluding players for a day when they lost a couple of chips.
