Just a question for those who care, what would be a good prize for winning a game of the week like we used to run? It used to be VIP for a week, a title and the winner could start a game thread but since Insider pretty much has everything that VIP does that lost its appeal for anyone not wanting to spam their way to 100,000. The last time I ran one there was only one person guessing and they already had VIP so it was stopped due to lack of interest.

If these started up again, what, if anything would encourage participation? VIP? A post count bump (50 posts? 100? more?) A picture of your severed foot?

agreed.

I don't know what would be a good prize, but post count bumps are lame. I'd rather take a post reset and somehow have my account restricted to be permanently stuck at 0 posts than get a post bump.

Subtract 1000 from all losers post counts. Fear motivates!

There can be only one.

It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone, I listen to our secret theme
