The real name of the piece is Minute Waltz. The word Minute was intended by the publisher to mean "small" in this case. It was not intended as an amount of time.

Think minute as a sort of translation intending the meaning of "minute" -- as in, "mai-noot" -- meaning small. But we say "minute waltz" anyway. According to wiki, the waltz is basically supposed to represent "a happy puppy chasing its tail" or something.

I don't use a mobile phone, so I'll just wait for the PayPal, I guess...

So Tass told me to read this thread that I had apparently missed.

While I think it's an interesting idea, this is the first instance where content in the game is made available by a fiscal transaction. I can sympathize with users that get worked up over that. It's new and scary. Someone had mentioned rithum earlier, and that was the first thing I thought of when Tass brought this idea up to me. I understand that the userbase and ownership structure of FFR makes it downright silly to try to set this up in rithum right now, but that would be something for the future.

An enhancement that really should be made for this (and I don't know if it's done or in the works, I kind of skimmed this thread), is that you should be able to purchase the album for other users. That way, inevitably there will be a "store" thread where someone takes credits and in return buys the album.

The only other issue I have is the perceived disconnect between a token and an album. Yes, they are connected by the musician, however game content and mp3 files may not have much in common for your average token-lover. I think it's been mentioned already but I think it would be a good idea to come up with a scheme where you can buy either the token or the album, or the combined package with a small discount. That will also make it easier when non-ffr users get the link from say, myspace (or eventually rithum) and buy the album but don't know what a token is or want one; not to mention that it is giving a token to someone without an ffr account, which seems screwy.

Oh, and keep these purchasable tokens out of Tier Points. That would be unfair.

Other than that I think this is a fine idea.

This system would use paypal / creditcard.

Um, excuse me? I think that must be a typo, as I really don't see why there should be an expiration date on something I'm going to be paying for. Surely, you just made a mistake while typing. Happens to the best of us.

Um...your mistake was in not understanding what he was saying.

He's suggesting that he's going to make the album purchase be available in the shop by pretending that the album is a subscription, since the subscription service comes with vbulletin and thus woudln't require any new programming to enable.

So he tells the site system "Make available a 20 year subscription at the cost of 6.99" and instead, you will get directed to where you can download the album. This is not a subscription, your access to the songs won't vanish, nothing will expire.

Also, for irony, the post directly after Synth's reads

Also to be clear, when you "subscribe" to get the download, the script we use to check if you have completed the purchase completely ignores the expiration date of the "subscription". So even if in 20 years you are still around, it will still be there for you to download.

Could? Or still can..... Why did I miss it......? And also, do they really have to kill Avranks, FC's, and AAA's? Couldn't Support Tokens be like Skill or Token, and not count against you? If it doesn't, then sorry.
