I suggested somewhere of an in-game casino type thing where players could play roulette (for example) using resources, just to keep entertainment up between ticks and also to get people to actually 'play' this game more (as opposed to logging in and doing stuff for 10 mins, then every tick afterwards check gal status for 2 mins etc). Appoco never got back to me whether this would constitute 'proper' gambling on the internet, and associated legal issues with regards to that (and minors, etc). Thus, i dont know whether providing an online gambling service is legal, but if it was, it might be worth expanding on the idea?

More specifically with your proposal, i am unsure as to how exactly this will help newbies, however i'll go off and read your other thread now.
