The DeadGod Rewards system is finally up and running. You can access it via the link below:

http://www.deadgod.net/rewards

Basically, 50,000 credits can be redeemed for a $25 Amex gift cheque.

50k credits seems like a large number, however we plan on adding more ways of gaining credits in the future. The most notable of these is the DeadGod Survival Game (DSG)--the reward for being the first to solve the riddle is 50,000 credits. In addition, DSG will pay out a weekly bonus to all players.

In addition to DSG you can earn credits by posting (based on word count), writing a post good enough to deserve front page status (1000 credit bonus) and winning jackpots in the Arcade.

FAQ:

Q: Wait, you're bribing us now?
A: No, we're rewarding you. You don't need to redeem your credits after all.

DeadGod.net is a serious project for us, complete with a budget. Server collocation costs, software licensing, domain fees, gaming servers, etc. have always been a part of this. In order to grow the community and increase member activity we've decided to re-focus part of our budget on advertising and rewards.

Q: Can I redeem a lesser amount of credits for a lesser reward?
A: No. Redemptions can be only be claimed 50,000 credits at a time.
