Machina said: By the way, next month will be Witcher 2 month. We have a great Witcher 2 bundle to give away as our main prize.

Well I'm not going for first place then next month since by the looks of things I'm getting the Witcher which my bro already has though illegally so I guess having a true one will be okay.

If no one has mentioned this yet, I have a suggestion to make the reward system a lot more fair and inspire more people to participate.

Rather than making it a competition where only the most active users each month can win (especially when those most active users are often newer members or have way more free time to contribute than the average user), how about we make it so that each month there is a random drawing for the prizes and the points you earn each month affect your weighted chances of winning.

So say if you had 30,000 points one month, that's like getting 30,000 entries into a random drawing. You still have a gigantic advantage and are very likely to win, but it is no longer guaranteed so that some users with less points can still have a chance.

Or better yet, how about a buy-in system where we can use our points and allocate an amount we choose each month. So say we don't want any prizes that month, we keep all our points. And then one day there is a super epic elite prize so we dump our entire lifetime points in. That seems like a much better option. Otherwise, the average user on this site like myself, the ones that drive the most conversation and entertainment and news but only have about 5 posts per day, will feel very excluded from this.

i'm going to ask in here as i can't filter at the mo and don't want to look through 100 threads,i'd like to ask for more romantic level names like in your sig,the high ones are fine but addicted and obsessed i don't like especially since the people higher are way more addicted,i'd like to be a Knight,Captain,Warlock,Jedi whatever it doesn't matter i'm sure there are lovely names outhere,i also think maybe you should have 20/25 levels and split it up a bit like from above 10,000 15,000 20,000 etc as it makes more involving and people like levelling up can you also see your level in the forums by all your information,maybe you can i can't access/see everything on ps3 anyway thanks for listening and how do people get 20,000 points a month when the max you can earn for something is 25pt,i don't get it

I can explain the second part, it's pretty simple because those who do get the 20k + per month like me are doing an extreme amount of things that give off points.

Heres an expample of where most of my points came from.

Synopsis added	207	20 pts	4140 pts
Banner added	1192	15 pts	17880 pts

During this month I have added...1.2k banners and 200 synopsis's.

i haven't found enough reasons to add more to VGC to get this and that sucks.
i'll need to make 100 threads to rank 50 on the list

I approve of this idea...the way this is set up is pretty sucky no offense
