Okay, so how does value get assigned?

Is there a voting or karma process?

If so, do you have to spend DC in order to vote?

Does the poster get a chance to request a certain value for their idea, and if so does that cost extra DC?

The value starts at 1. The first person to view pays 1 DC to see it. If the viewer up-votes the dream, the value goes to 2. If the viewer downvotes it, it goes to 0. The value increments by 1 for every up-vote, and the lowest value is 0. Too many down-votes at 0, and the dream is forgotten (deleted). It only costs DC to view. Voting doesn't cost any DC.

The poster cannot request a certain value. All dreams start at 1.

FYI, we've changed the starting value to 0. That way, if someone posts spam or an otherwise bad idea, people won't have to pay to view it initially.
