As of 03/17/2012, the credit system has been removed. Credits will no longer be taken when a member joins a collab


1 life is taken every time you open a collab and is given back upon completion of that collab. The max number of lives you can have at any given time is 7.
People in need of full packagers will lose a total of 3 lives
People in need of half packagers will lose 2 lives
People who do not need a packager will only lose 1 life.
This is to encourage members to develop skills to self sustain their own collabs as population increases are putting a huge load on all our packagers and we have to be able to stay efficient with fulfilling requests. Tutorials and help is available all over LTS for audio and video mixing.

So we ask that all users please be self aware of your life count and they will not be updated instantly because moderators have to manually take a life away, so please be patient with that.

Thanks everyone and have fun in the colalboration corner ^^!!

Thank you Skye, I'm pretty sure we didn't write that Wide event collabs are not ruled by credit/lives system.

In fact, I never had time to write the full theory paper about the system yet, but your paper here is an accurate resume.

Ah I was looking for your paper for a few days now but the only one I could find was in the pink room. There was no public one and I think some users are really confused with this so I decided to write this up ^^ If you ever release that paper of yours then it can replace mine here (:

Ah, I see, thank you for this! I've been looking for an explanation on the credits and lives system!
Since I got back to LTS I was confused >< but this helped clear things up :D

Very glad it did ^^!

I have a question, so does this mean that if somebody joined a collab but then left for whatever reason they get 1 credit back?

No Ayu, the only way to have your payback is to return your record.
If nothing returned, no payback. One credit lost.

Okay. In that case, I need to tell Ginger her credit won't be returned.
Thanks for answering :)

EDIT: Wait wait wait, Skye's just given her her credit back (only saw the post now).
...?

Supposedly, you can get out of a collab you signed-up for if you have a legit reason..and get your credit back..

Yes, there are valid reasons of course. Sick singer, family issues are valid reasons, one credit returned.

If I deem them responsible enough to let the initiator know that they're not going to do the collab before the deadline comes then I will give the credit back ^^

Ahhh...okay, thanks for telling me ^^

If you're not sure, for audio mixing feel free to poke Will and for video mixing feel free to ask Skye (me) ^^

a new rule has been implemented today (September 12, 2011) and the first post has been edited.

Ooh yes, now I understand everything.
Wish I had seen this paper earlier.
LOL , thank you Skye~ : popflower :

Ahh you're welcome XD haha this paper isn't as easy to spot.



All collabs opened before today are exceptions tot his new rule because they were opened before this rule was implemented.

Skye, I'm a bit confused.
Aren't people who don't need a packager basically people who don't need a video or mixer?
Doesn't have mean that no lives should be lost because they don't actually need to request anything?

Oh btw, so no credit is lost for requesting lyrics? (I know we're not getting much requests, but hopefully we will in the future)

Whether you need a packager or not, it still takes 1 life to open a collab.

No credit is lost for requesting lyrics, but that may be subject to change in the future.

OH lives >_< Sorry, I got confused with credits, really sorry.

We'll see about the lyrics, currently I'm not very bothered about that.

11/10/2011 UPDATE:
Due to the increasing number of credits we have decided that the credit count will be capped at 99, and a centre for trading in credits for certain goods/services will be opened once the contents for the credit trades are confirmed ^^! Once you're at 99, you will only gain back 1 credit when you join a collab. If you trade in credits and your count goes lower than 97, you will gain 2 credits back like usual until you reach 99 again.

The update above has been voided We will be going with this new system instead,


12/01/2011 UPDATE:
Members who hit 30 credits will have their credit count transition into a dash (-) which means... they have hit a point where they have earned the privilege to have UNLIMITED CREDITS! To all users working towards this goal, thank you for being a supporter of LTS and being part of our vastly growing family ^^ hugs from Skye~~

So it's only lives now? Do the same rules apply?

Same as always Aya, seven Lives in the house^^
