[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 3782812, member: 21506"] Thanks for that feedback, Rae. :) I'm not sure why you would use the example of 60 DM credits for a summary :confused: - that's so over the top that it's never going to happen anyway. As you can see from the last table I posted, the maximum reward for summarizing an adventure would be 4 credits. So if you want to garner your 60 points, you'd have to spend not one Saturday afternoon but [b]fifteen[/b] to achieve it. (And if anyone is that desperate for bonus points, well, good luck to them! After all, any application of DM credits has to be run past the judges, doesn't it?) Still, I agree with you that we don't want to hand out huge rewards. And note, I've used that term "rewards" again, rather than "pay". I widened the scope of our discussion in response to Manzanita's comment about consistent rewards for the administrators. Personally I'm happy either way. Like all of you, I've put up my hand for the judge's position because I want to help out around here - not because I wanted an edge for my own characters. (That's not to say that I won't work hard [b]in game[/b] to achieve that. :] ) Perhaps, though, it would be a good idea to drop discussion of judges' rewards for the time being. If anybody wants to pick it up again, we can do it in another thread. I do agree with your responses to B4cchus' suggestion, Rae. The last thing we need is to make more work for the judges. :eek: So, if we drop the idea of "paying" people for their hard work, and stick instead with an expression of grateful thanks, perhaps we can acknowledge that what we're offering isn't an adequate return for the time they've spent. Then we can stop worrying about whether or not it's fair to award equal credits to two people who have summarized two quite different adventures, and just say, "Thanks!" And if you want simple, then simply give them a reward equal to a percentage of the DM's. (In that case, I would suggest we look at somewhere between 20-50%, with a minimum of 1.) 'Nock :) [/QUOTE]
