Question

When the Emporium opens I think there should be things to but with smart cents. Not just titles because I can only buy 1 title in English and I have 101 smart cents

Answer 1

The emporium is open an Smart Cents are worth nothing. They are just medals you get that is converted into Smart Cents. If we do that, then OS will not be making any money.

Answer 2

I agree with Jagr.

Answer 3

Emporium is already open.

Yep

Answer 8

That's what I'm saying they should be worth something in the Emporium Because there is only 1 title for English and I can afford more that one so they should have more things that are worth smart cents.

Answer 9

Then you should work harder to get the next title.

Answer 14

Medals can also be unearned. It's like getting free stuff from the emporium.

Answer 20

Well you can buy them and there are contests that you can get owlbucks in :3

Answer 21

without contests that people know they cant win

Answer 22

Well some mods were giving out Owlbucks. But you have to understand again. We lose money

Answer 23

People know they can win if they beleive in themselves!

Answer 24

@SneliS
People still win in the contests.

Answer 25

So if you try then atleast you have a shot at it!

Answer 26

not all people so the ones that don't win should still get some after the contest

Answer 27

hmmm well we cant just give out owlbucks :(

Answer 28

Just keep trying i guess

Answer 29

Not everyone wins the lottery. If everyone who didn't win said they wanted free money because they didn't win...

Answer 30

Hey, lets give every user 100 OwlBucks. OpenStudy has just lost $20 x how many users we gave it to.

Also, now we have gotten these people to stay since they liked our free product so much. But, guess what? We also know have gotten them to continue begging for more owlbucks and if we don't give them more, they are going to cry and leave OS.

Hmmm, now should we give everyone free owlbucks in the first place?

Answer 31

Bottom line: There are opportunities to earn owl bucks if you think you wont win then just buy them or keep trying :)

Answer 32

Once a year you should at least and not a 100 just enough to pay one qualified helper

Answer 33

Yes it is.

Answer 34

its 10 OB's for one question O_O 100 would be 10 questions

Answer 35

isn't it 20?

Answer 36

Nope 10

Answer 37

Ok, take your request to Preetha. I'm sure she will agree. She will hand out 1 owlbuck to every user who asks once a year. After 10 years, you have enough to ask your one question.

Answer 38

Sarcasm... >.>

Answer 39

@Preetha doesn't help any1 anymore

Those times of the year will be a really tough time for the very few qualified helpers that we have.

Answer 41

She is a CEO, what do you expect? She can't solve problems all the time. To manage a huge company like this takes time and patience.

Answer 42

Well I am fighting for what is right

Answer 43

Sometimes the right things come with consequences that are felt only by a few.

Answer 44

Fighting for what is right?

What is right? This idea is not right.

Hey, wake up! OpenStudy is not a charity organization.

Answer 45

Once a year it should be!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 46

the emporium is open :P

Answer 47

Once a year it should become a charitable organization? What are we? A homework helping site? Or another salvation army?

Answer 48

lol
