Hi everyone,

Normally it is not my practice to ask for donations here. The site costs me out of pocket and generally I don't make any complaints about that. However, in looking into setting up an automated IBA script, it's come to my attention that it is going to cost at least $60 to have it developed. Here are the features I am proposing be implemented:

How it would work is that a player who beat another player in a match could click a link in the opposing player's profile reporting the victory. The losing player would recieve a message saying something to the effect of "{username} declared victory against you. Confirm loss?" Once the loss was confirmed, the player rankings would be adjusted accordingly. Let's do an example.

Labrocca has a ranking of 1640.
Lex has a ranking of 1600.

Lex defeated Labrocca in a match. He goes to Labrocca's profile on MyBB and clicks a button that reads "Declare Victory".

Labrocca recieves a message reading, "Lex has declared victory against you. Confirm?" Labrocca would select the Confirm link. A pop-up window would appear reading:

Lex defeated Labrocca.

Lex +18 (1618)
Labrocca -18 (1622)

In a Battle History link in Lex's profile, anyone could check Labrocca's battle history. For example, this would appear on a line:

August 31, 2008: Lex defeated Labrocca. +18 (1618)

There would also be a "Rankings" page, which would just essentially be a list of all the members sorted by and displaying their points.

Now, let's talk about what would be on the administrative side of things.

Obviously, I would like to be able to manually apply battles. For example, a field where I could enter:

Winner: Labrocca
Loser: Lex
[SUBMIT]

(Labrocca gets his revenge!)

And it would automatically update the players.

I would also like to be able to undo matches and to be able to freeze individual player's points or dock them points, and otherwise manually edit them in ways that are pretty standard.

I simply cannot afford to pay for this script on its own ... so I want to propose to the community to please donate some money via Paypal so we can finally get the IBA up and running in a very cool format. All money will be put towards this, and I will take none of it.

If you want to donate please make a response here. Thanks for reading.

This is a great idea Brad, and I'd like to offer what little I can currently.

Sure, I'll send 20 bucks next pay day. If by the payday after that you don't have enough I'll send another 20, maybe more even.

START LIVING BEFORE YOU START DYING

I may be able to send a few dollars once I get some things sorted out. Sounds like a great system.

bugturtles will donate for sure

Just tell me where to send it on Paypal.

Thanks to you guys

no what man I have money sitting in my account that I didn't even know i had.
So like I can send it like ZAP. I thought I 'd get MFB, but I'd rather wait till after January.

Signature was too large. Read the rules.

I'd be willing to donate, but don't expect a huge amount since I'm greedy

I can throw a bit your way for this.

You know im spending money because spending time is hopeless.
And know i pop bottles cause i bottle my emotions.
At least i put it all in the open

i'm getting paid on august 10, just got visa so i can use my debit card online
if i have money left after getting all the stuff i'm planning on getting, i'l donate

Still looking for donations guys!

Also, check out the current proposal:

http://www.beywiki.com/elo%20proposal.pdf

I'll donate 20 or 30 bucks.

The price for the platform has been set at $100 USD. So far, we have not recieved half of this in donations. I know I am asking a lot of everyone here, but this platform will be a giant step forward for us and for Beyblade all around the world. And trust me, we are getting a deal on this. Thanks to the great coder Labrocca for helping us realize our dream

If you need my Paypal, please PM me. I want to do everything I can to avoid putting ads or anything of the sort on this site, and everyone here will benefit from this.

i have a question: What if some1 denied the loss? Would it be like a Truth VS Lie war? (Like trying to figure out who lied for 3 days or what?)

...Well, it comes to the rest of the world in a year..

I'll be able to donate some money by the end of the week. (:

Even just a dollar from each person would help a lot!

Yes. I was discussing things with the programmer today, and he had some suggestions that will improve things greatly. This is going to be a great move for us.

I can't give that much, but would 5 dollar be helpful already?
