[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3781306, member: 29014"] Hmm...that falls into the time trap as well, I think--let's take a look at both plans, shall we? I'm going to use my two adventures Bounty of the Endless Sands and A Teacher for Laynie. Both earned me 9 GM credits to run because they took 9 months. Bounty of the Endless Sands is 600 posts long, many of which were just for combat, and has no new NPCs (all were present in IA or ATfL) or organisations. The summary would take about two to five minutes to write thoroughly and well. Under Manz's plan, I get 1 GM Credit for this because 10% of 9 is less than 1. Boddynock gives me 1 also (< 1000 posts and no news stuff). Now look at A Teacher of Laynie. ATfL is 2000 posts long, and almost all of it is new fluff. It has I think over 50 new NPCs, a goodly amount of details on Medibarian history, magical theory, cultural notes, and fleshes out the Academy itself as well. The summary would take at least four hours to write thoroughly and well. Under Manz's plan, that would earn me 1 credit because 10% of 9 is less than 1. Under Boddynock's plan, I get somewhere around 60 (4 for length, nothing for historical facts or culture, 1 for the Academy, 1 for Medibaria, 50+ for NPCs). It's actually perfectly commensurate in the amount of time it would take me to write it and the length of the summary (it would take about 60 times as long), but that's still a rather huge amount.
