    It's my birthday today and I have to pick a movie to watch tonight.  I like monster movies, fantasy type movies, B movies, and sci-fi.

    I need ideas!  What should I watch tonight?

    Happy Birthday, I did enjoy Encanto the other day

    One Peeve from a couple years ago.....

    At our bar we had this large wall poster that's been there since the bar existed. It's from WWII and shows Mickey Mouse and couple other Disney characters in military uniforms and with a message to support the war effort. The original owners of the bar put that up when they opened the early 60s and think their family had the poster way before that and bought it up north when they moved here.

    About 2 years ago Disney sent us a notice we had to take it down and would go legal on us if we took to long. The reason was it didn't represent Disney's current views. Our attorney wrote back it's been there forever but they wouldn't hear it. So after much debate we took it down. We offered to return it to the original owners family, but they weren't interested, so it sits in the back room to this day.

     

    Yes Disney is pretty hardcore about their IP, they go after nursey schools and such, for having paintings of their characters, you can try selling the poster on ebay, probably make a lot of money

    Dear Gacha Creators: You do NOT have to say goodbye to Gacha or change all of your Gachas to Mod/Copy - you can still participate in the Gacha experience by selling full packs 'Transfer' and a Mod/Copy option if you wish. 

    Gacha is not ending anytime soon. It is only the Blind-Buy/Game of Chance/Lucky Dip element of Gacha that is no more. For example, no more lots of random Gacha in the machines and Lucky Dip Boards. Gacha buyers and Resellers can continue to still have a room full of Gacha machines so long as the machines are displaying 'everything' they are selling in that machine, and the buyers get 'absolutely everything' that the seller advertised during that transaction. For example, If it is an individual advertising image displayed on the machine - then the machine must give that exact item. If it is a Fatpack/Fullset image displayed on the machine - then the machine must give the Fatpack/Fullset.

    Long Live Gacha!

    P.S. Linden Lab: If my understanding is wrong, please kindly correct me and humiliate me in public - it is how I learn.

     

    This may shed some light for you,  I hope this help

    Hey everyone,

    Once again, thread is paused.  It's clearly going to need my team to spend some time this morning to both clean it up, hand out disciplinary action to those of you who can not be reasonably decent to others on here and for us to address some more issues. 

    Additionally, whatever comes out on the other end of this can no longer be called "gacha".  Make no illusions or ways to circumvent getting around it, but "gacha" is gone for good; we should not call it that anymore going forward with any proposed idea to reincarnate it in some way.  We have been seeing a lot of good suggestions on new, interesting ways to sell content, many of which we have given to our general counsel for further legal opinion.  When we have that information back, the FAQ will be updated.

    We have also been analyzing the 7seas Fishing Game further (yes we play it 🐠), and there is another mechanic at play which is the one-time purchase of the fishing rod (free or paid). The fishing rod to catch fish is all that is really required to play the game, there is no additional purchase required and with that you can catch all the fish (or other items) you desire.  In effect, the catches are free and have no value.  Purchasing bait to play the game gives experience for competition.  If purchasing bait increases the value of the fish (or items) caught, then the fish (or items) would then have to be no transfer.   I have seen some suggestions that it is a disguise to legalize gambling and a handful of other theories to twist the mechanics of the game.  This is clearly not the case and that is spreading misinformation, which needs to cease immediately.  

    On edit:  Further in the problematic mechanics of the gacha systems, and in addition to what I said earlier, regarding the act of paying for something and in return the item/thing you receive back can not be based on chance, this includes the purchaser must know what they are purchasing in advance of the sale being made.  In other words, the purchaser must clearly see and understand what they are purchasing at the time of sale.

    We will be back with more soon, for the time being this thread will remain on pause and we ask that you do not create additional threads on this topic as those will be locked so we can keep our focus here.

    Thanks!

    I'm honestly surprised 7seas is ok if gachas are not.

    Gacha - you pay for a random prize.
    7Seas - you pay for "bait" to get a random prize.

    Gacha - You can see the various prizes you might win, but no guarantee of which kind.
    7Seas - You can find lists of various fish you might win, but no guarantee of which kind OR guarantee to even get a fish, since its possible to cast and use bait without getting a bite, resulting in lost bait.

    Gacha - Items are transferable.
    7Seas - Items are transferable (as of now, at least).

    Gacha - Sometimes you need to get multiple items to make the main prize.
    7Seass - Sometimes you need multiple items to make the main prize (blueprints and parts to build special items).

    You can fish for free and still get rares, I do it all the time
