Incentives for AAR and DAR postings

[RedDevil]

Discuss it here if Ivan doesn't mind.

Is your "Contest" limited to CM only?
As the AAR/DAR forum is only present in our community.

Right now we award 50 ladder bonus points for completed AAR/DARS
This should remain, as it is consistent across all communities.
I don't want to be rewarding more points for Cm players' AAR's over CS players'..etc...

We don't have a medal for AAR/DAR, and awarding 1 for every completed one would clutter up the medal rack.
Perhaps a Ribbon for #'s 1-4 & a Badge for #'s 5,10,15,20 etc.. We would need someone to make some previews of these so we can decide on a best one.

Sizes should be limited in pixels.. 40W X 100H for ribbons and 80WX100H for Badges.

Rules should be written out for fall back reference and final decisions of judge(s) rights reserved within those rules.

Criteria for the contest should be written out for public view so all involved are on the same level field.

Criteria for judges should be written out, but not subject to public viewing.
no one should know what to do outside of the rules and contest criteria, lest they manipulate the field to their advantage.

6 months is a very short time in gaming terms, perhaps end of year contest that runs from Dec 1st thru Nov 30, allowing the prize to arrive for Christmas?

Coil has a point of the offering a game for a prize.. people do strange things when a prize with monetary or real value is involved..
