Skill of the Week and
Combat Skill of the Week have been ... well, ignored for a while now. I am trying to change that, because we need to work on our levels, Combat especially, and I believe this is a great way to do so.
Currently, this is how you are rewarded in SOTW/CSOTW:
- Your name appears on the main forum page.
- You receive attendance points based on the tier you reach.
- Your name gets added to the all-time winners list, stickied at the top of the SOTW and CSOTW forums.
In addition to those rewards, I'm looking to add a couple more enticing incentives for competing in these competitions. A couple ideas that have already been discussed I included in the poll, but
please suggest any ideas you may have!
For example, one idea that a member told me a while back was to treat these competitions like a lottery. Every member would have to pay up a certain cash amount to enter the competition, and then the winner would end up getting it all. The only problem I can see with this is people not trusting the staff with their money ... although they should

.
I am already thinking that if cash rewards are used in the future, then the CSOTW winner will receive a higher cash reward than the SOTW winner, given that combat is what we're trying to improve the most.
That's about all I have to say. Let's try to get some good discussion going here
