Ahh demonland...as once described by Prodigal Son to a 9-year old girl who asked "what's Demonland"?...

"Demonland is like an online pub where people go to talk rubbish about football, without the mitigating excuse of alcohol".

Now this gives me an idea...and only a moderator / web tech guru will know if its feasible.

VIRTUAL BEER!

The concept is that you pay a credit to Demonland which is then converted into virtual beers: $1 = 1 Credit = 1 Beer. Everytime someone makes a post that you find particulary satisfying you can "buy that man / woman a beer"...which just appears as a beer icon on your reply to them.

Sadly this beer never actually gets drunk...but the money you pay for your beer credits goes partly to pay for the cost or running Demonland, with the remainder being donated by the moderators to the MFC Debt Demolition, lets say after the grandd final to give it some time to let the deposit build up.

Don't know if it can be done, don't know if you want to do it, let the people speak!

would also most definitely make for some great posts as people would try a bit harder to come up with some rippers to get the cash flowing

URGENT - Please let me know where one can get a beer for $1 !!

I suspect that it might be hard to implement given that transaction fees are likely to account for most if not all of a one dollar donation.

Nice creative idea though.

Sorry, I have failed to express the idea properly.

There would only be one financial transaction - when you pay for your bank of virtual beers.

There is no financial tranasction when you "buy someone a beer", but your bank of virtual beer credits would reduce by one and eventually run down towards zero, at which time you can elect to buy some more virtual beer credits.

:blink: STOP, you're making me thirsty! :P

Damn it, now I'll have to call through the Bottle O tonight!

edit: Fwiw I like the concept

This all sounds delightfully pointless. I love it!

So conceivably, one could, by making good posts, have a bank of beers without ever spending any money. Would you be able to on-trade a beer bought for you by someone else?

Just because I started the concept doesn't mean I own the concept, its work in progress if demonlanders are interested in running with it.

However I wouldn't recommend any on-trading of credits as it defeats the purpose of the exercise: raising money for the website running costs with the surplus funds going to MFC debt demolition.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
