When someone's tired and frustrated and it's late at night and they've just gotten an annoying email from someone and they're thinking of quitting something fairly silly like a note of appreciation or their collection of "virtually meaningless points" can seem important.You want more judges, right? If "love of the game" isn't doing it for extisting settings (and Eberron is like... the best setting ever...) why are we so sure that L4W is going to be different?[d]--[/d]The time-for-xp thing....I understand. I'm just confused about why we have to have a bunch of different systems...If you give out 5 points to a DM for a month of running a game; instead of giving x number of xp on a different schedule, why not just give the player 2 points that can be spent on that character in the same way...? One system: everybody gets something; DMs get a bit more...[d]--[/d]Polling's good. I will reiterate my firm belief that polls should cover a broad range of options, including options that don't seem to be popular.Since it's potentially quite complex maybe we should break it down into areas -- then do another poll on specific systems(having run a few I can say that it can be quite tricky to make which-option-means-which-clear)So a general conceptual pointThe poll HAS to be public and multiple choice (public b/c of the error i mentioned that allows for double posting)1 No points of any sort (covaithe-style)Point awards2 ... for DMing3 ...for judging/assisting character approval *4 ...for a campaign log (judged by judges to be complete and informative)5 ...for doing other _____6 ... for every x period of time that passes in a game a player gets points for that character (time for xp)Points (if we have them) can be spent to7  ... improve your character's level8 ... buy magic items for your character9 ... buy access to rare materialthis is to help prevent the flood of genasi effect -- you can spend x points to get access to that race/class 10 .. allow for the creation and play of extra charactersLimits11...
