Teh Emuparadise Gil Thingies :: Howto
Seeing as how the new gil system is the latest craze in the forums, I thought it only fair enough to post this little sticky. And also lay down a FIRM RULE, NO MORE THREADS ABOUT GETTING GIL!. The Gil system works and it will give you gil for valid threads which have over 20 posts or yadda yadda.
In this post, right here in this thread, I am going to enlist how you can go about earning your well deserved gil for your daily labour :P. We will be adding new methods regularly, so keep checking back to keep your gil grabbing strategies updated.
Currently, here's how you can get gil:
If you create a thread, and your thread recieves the following number of:
REPLIES::
20 replies - you get 50 gil
50 replies- you get 100 gil
100 replies - you get 200 gil
200 replies - you get 400 gil
300 replies - you get 600 gil
VIEWS::
100 views - 10 gil
200 views - 20 gil
300 views - 30 gil
600 views - 60 gil
1000 views - 100 gil
Also, for every POLL you vote on, you get 10 gil!
You can also take part in the lottery which gives the winner a large amount of gil! So make sure you buy a ticket for the lottery.
Now, it is against the rules to create threads as the one Rucharly created, to "test" the gil system. The gil system works, and it has been tested before. Currently there are 789 forums atleast on the internet using this system, there is no doubt about the fact that it works. One more thing, marq08's thread for Votes n' Gil, well, it's not exactly against the rules but it does go against the principle of what votes really stand for. So please, refrain from such capitalist popularity sickened behaviour (: and take your dirty deeds into PM.
We shall also be adding stuff you can buy and do with gil. All updates will be posted in this thread.

Hey, I did what I had to do in order to see it was real... People were getting hundreds of Gil, yet I remained at zero...?
Anyway... Uh... I still think it's rather unfair... People who don't post a lot of threads, like me, are getting nothing, while spammers like Skinner8 are reaping in the benefits...
I see the Gil system as an analogy to setting up shops - You put a shop (thread) and people come to buy stuff (post) and you get Gil in exchange... Voting in a poll in exchange for Gil is also similar to a big fat check in exchange for voting for Teh Evil Senator, or something like that... :P It's fun!
So, getting Gil for posts alone (which was my first thought) doesn't seem like a viable alternative, it's not fun... Though you could give the nth poster in any given thread a bonus, something like: "Hey! You're our nth customer! Congrats! Here's a coupon!"... :P
Well...? Yay, nay or maybeay...? :)
