I've been mulling this idea over for a while... but didn't know how it'd come to fruition. However, I think I've finally come up with the right idea.

For the Café, it wouldn't take coins... but like in M&L:SS, it'd work with a Starbeans system. People would turn in beans for drinks that would increase maximum HP and MP or bestow other special abilities!

However, given that, beans would have to be hard to earn... That said, only official Digibutter Events given Francis' okay and support can hold bean prizes. Fran himself would award these or...someone else responsible enough if he cannot and hands someone the privileges. Say the top 3 people earn beans of varying quantity and quality, I believe that would be fair.

Beans would be tradeable items as well...and thus, they could be deemed a special cut of currency between the higher up users or those lucky enough to snag some for themselves and sell them to whoever wanted them.

For example, here's what each drink could possibly do.

Woohoo Blend would be your basic HP increaser.
Hoohoo Blend would be a MP increaser.
Chuckle Blend would be act as a Super Life Shroom.
Teehee Blend would be a coin multiplyer! For one week, all posts earn double coins!
Hoolumbian would give you a boost to both HP AND MP!
Chuckoccino would give you an extra life!
Teeheespresso would be ... ??? (Random Drink Effect, includes item!)

... Naturally, given our beloved users, people will probably aim to 'complete the menu', just like in the game of this concept's origin. Thus, I've a special additional idea for those who can collect all the drinks WITHOUT USING THEM.

... To any user who claims all 7 drinks can get a special trophy, which bestows them the title of "Brewmaster" when used. After all, only a true lover of Starbeans would go so far. Might as well give them something fun for the effort.


....SO! That's my idea. Feel free to comment or make suggestions or changes. I don't expect it to be put into action, but... I thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Yes! The Count agrees that we need a Starbeans Cafe! Bleh heh heh

Wow. That's actually a really good idea.

Actually, it would go WONDERFULLY with a leveling up system, and actually making the battles on this site more RPG-ish. Y'know, you gain EXP (Or more score.) for each person you completely KO. The higher the level from yours, the more EXP/points. And he more lives they have would give you more EXP/points.

... But that's a different story. Your idea might actually inspire Francis to make more site-wide games or whatever.

I tried to run a Starbeans Cafe with buried Beans in my posts, but the thing failed.

Is this really necessary?

i think it would be excellent idea. It seems highly possible and effecient, you just got to put lots of effort and time into it.

i remember i had a card system, and it worked out fine and that was more complex then this. give it a chance guys, i bet it will be fun and cool

[lovegod703]

It's a REALLY god idea. I like it.

[Hylian_Pixl]

This sounds interesting. I'd like to see this happen. After all, this could get people to use items more!

[Paper_Waluigi]

It would be a good idea if the whole coin/item system wasn't completely dead. We don't need more excess baggage sitting there collecting dust.

Unfortunately, even after my trial and error run today, to be able to reproduce this idea as a Usershop, especially given coin intake, limitations on item functions that are user created, etc... is nigh impossible.

Only way for the system to work is if we adopt it as a digibutter standard. : \

And that's ultimately up to Francis.

Sorry to everyone who got their hopes up.

I personally think this would have worked out great. The beans could also have come rarely for a post outside of the OT's instead of a coin.
