Hi everyone,

I came on as an Advisor recently after being here since 2006/2007 as a player. I've played on and off over time and a few of you might remember that in 2012 I ran some competitions for things like Most Kills in the month (this was before kill bonuses existed) and Highest Points from Tournaments Only (No Table Play) and the winner would get their Membership Paid for by myself.

At the time I believe Ryan had numerous commitments and KDice wasn't at the top of the priority list; but he's been doing a lot of work on the backend lately ( https://trello.com/b/4dwgZaBz/iogc ) and part of things happening is myself coming on board as a sort of Community Manager / Advisor. I do have Moderation Tools and I can and will use them if needed but my primary concern is to run some fun challenges and tasks where you will get rewarded in various ways.

One way will be Membership, another might be with a Points Boost, for example. What I need from you are some suggestions on what things you'd like to participate in to try and win these prizes (which will be announced when we announce the actual events selected and how they'll be entered).

Examples which have been done before and may be used again are the 'Phoenix Challenge' - getting to say 20,000 points in a month then deliberately losing every point you have down to 0, then rising back up from the ashes. Another was Most Kills in a Month in Standard Games. Another was Highest Placed Player with 0 games played (you were DQ'ed if playing anything other than tournaments).

These were all winner takes all but we're open to a Top 3 or Top 6 for some events and such, possibly special medals, possibly something really rare (as an example only, don't hold me to this: custom icons) for really hard to get things. Just let me know what you want to see actually played/as the goal and we'll work out a good incentive structure.

You can post here or you can email [email protected] - as an extra incentive, those who do make suggestions - whoever I deem to have the most creative, fun, and interesting suggestion will also receive a prize. I won't reveal what that is yet :)

Thanks,

Pursey
