Let me get this out of the way first: I love the idea of vg$. It's a great way to encourage competition on VGC and make people stick to their predictions.
However, I think our method of earning vg$ right now (by posting) is fundamentally flawed. A post of "PS3 r teh PWNZORZ!" currently nets the same amount of vg$ as a JL epic.
I'm proposing that we cut the amount earned per post in half, but, underneath a person's avatar in a thread, there is an option called "Awesome!" you can click on to give that person $1 or $2 (adding to their money without subtracting from your own). That way people like JL or Naz can get their due reward for awesome posts.
Anyone? Any other ideas?
