Its a challenge...just have to balance how many fights and choose the right ones. I'd like to win one sometime, though.ph34r said:

I'm trying to implement code to give big bonuses for posting news scoops. I thought I had it right, but it didn't work (didn't break anything, but didn't work).
However, I'm feeling generous.
I will manually give anyone who posts a relevant and interesting sci-fi/fantasy news scoop on the sci-fi news page in the next hour (from the timestamp of this post) up to 100 points. The amount will depend on how detailed and well formatted the news scoop is - an illiterate sentence will net you about 1 point, whereas a couple of detailed paragraphs with quotes and maybe a picture will net you an awful lot more.
You can do this multiple times to get multiple awards, as long as they're within the next hour.
If you quote anything, use one of the following tags:
Feel free to link to off-site images. Use the WYSIWYIG editor to make it look nice.
Your scoop will enter a moderation queue. The award will depend on how much editing/formatting I have to do before it gets posted on the news site, so refer to older items for style guides.
Remember, this is for the sci-fi page only. Your hour starts now.

Obviously, replace { with [ and } with ]. {bq}A large block-quote goes here{/hq}

It was hardly one-sided... counters can be nasty!
I'm assuming they're agility-based, which puts them rather out of the reach of a turtle for the moment

...would have submitted more, but I can't really find much else that's news worthy. Ironically, I'd meant to post more news items today anyway. Thanks Morrus!Morrus said:

Heh. when it comes to news, sci-fi or otherwise, I'm pretty much as out of the loop as it gets.
It's a good offer, just can't really participate in it.

It wasn't one-sided, but neither did I win.
You didn't have the option of counters? Interesting.
Cheers!
