Hello all! Rich here, I'm going to try and explain how Bottlecaps work here..
Q: Why are we doing this?!
Bottlecaps and How to find them...
What you can get for em...
(Purchase your vouchers in the Spiffo! Store, then redeem them with an Admin in-game or via private massage)
Where you can keep em to earn interest
(bottom left of the window the little padlocked crate)
Where you can invest on our in game stock exchange
(bottom left of the window the little Spiffo! and stocks box)
Sometimes you will see a little extra Spiffo! in the bottom left which will be special promotions with gifted caps or by earning caps in game.

Q: Why are we doing this?!
We had a Spiffo system in-game, however, players abused it after a while and spawned Spiffos in to gain benefits. We didn't like that, but we also didn't like having to suspend the system. In turn, we've created a fun, engaging experience in itself collecting bottle caps while also merging with the old system to reward players for them! BottleCaps can be shared between accounts, but this may be subjected to change.
Q: How do I gain Bottlecaps?
Bottlecaps are collected through a variety of different ways. Some of the easier ones that are automatically happening in the background include participating on the forums, EVENTS, replying to messages, making new, interesting threads, making a poll and getting your voice heard. Everyone also gets a daily amount of Bottlecaps each day automatically just for joining the server. There is also a +5% to the amount that you can gain based on your total forum posts number. (So those who are higher leveled on the forums will in turn get more money than those who just joined.)
Separate to individual post payouts, players also receive daily wages based on their daily activity as well as
a bonus 25% of their total post count towards an income earned at the end of each day.
1 post/day = +5 caps
2 posts/day = +10 caps
3 posts/day = +15 caps
4 posts/day = +20 caps
5 posts/day = +25 caps
It's unlikely that these wages will be a liveable income without resorting to spamming, which is why we've implemented larger set incomes known as "Haven Wages" for Faction Leaders/Members, Utilities/Services and for being inducted into the Hall of Wings which can will accumulate every day you login. Be a leader, join factions provide services and host your own events to get on this list to really maximize your daily earnings.
Q: How do I apply to earn Haven Wages?
Simple. Create a Faction thread that generates activity and petition to join the "Faction Leaders" group. Have a good idea for an in-game service and petition to Join the "Utilities/Services" group. To join a group, petition the "Faction Leader" of the appropriate group. Group lists/petition option can be accessed through your profile's 'Groups' tab.
(The Hall of Wings cannot be petitioned for and is based on behaviour, skill and accomplishments in-game, decided by a team of admins.)

Q: Can I gift Bottlecaps to other people?
Yes! You can go to the players profile and click "Spiffo's! inc. Bottlecap Exchange" set the amount you'd like to send and leave a message if you like. The donation must be accepted by the recipient by accessing their profile or the the green icon in the bottom-left bar.
Q: Do I get rewarded for leveling up?
Yes! You get +75 Bottlecaps
Q: Can I invest in something?
Yes! We are working on a stock market that will have the POI's of the game itself that you can invest your money in and watch the Stock Market either benefit you or make yourself bankrupt!
(This is a shortcut to your Bank, Bottlecaps, and Stock Market in the bottom-left of the forum.)
Q: How do I use them to buy in-game rewards?
Purchase a voucher from the Spiffo Store and ask an admin to exchange it in-game. The admin will redeem the voucher then provide you with item/service or architecture in-game.
Please note that we will move as fast as we can and sometimes may be offline so you will have to wait at points. Should you need a last minute heal, log out and play as an alt until an admin is available to assist you.
