Okay, here's the situation. Slayer and I are thinking of hosting a competition of sorts, the only problem is we can't decide on a good prize for the winner. The obvious one, karma, is not a very good idea seeing as how if you win the competition, you most likely have already recieved karma relating to it. We need your help, what kind of prize would you want to win?

Anywho, if we already have karma relating to it...then I suspect it's related to writing. Heh.
Well...I dunno. give me awhile to think about it. ^^

Okay…first off, it would have to be something with the board, I suppose. Karmas out…post numbers are out…allowed to see the war room? Out too, I suppose…Maybe a hall of fame?

Wait a minite...you can only get one karma point for one type of "thing"? *shrug* I think that would be a bad idea anyway.
How about becoming a mod for the day? *evil laughter*

Well, if this is to do with what I think it is, then there's only one thing I can think of that I'd like: more comments! 
Ah, now there's a thought: how about a karma point for an extra-good comment?

Once again, cache shows his good thinking ability. Yes on karma for good comments!
I know I want both comments (On my chrons) and karma (From commenting on other peoples chrons), so this is a win-win situation.

My, what a Karma hungry bunch we are...
Good comments should really be given anyway, so to be honest I'd want a better prize. If you won, you can assume that your Chron is pretty good anyway, so additional comments are not much of a prize...
How about chocolate?

That might be a good idea. What does everyone think about having your name engraved permanently somewhere in Slayer's Guide to Cythera?

You haven't missed it. As far as I can tell, the contest goes something like this. Our mods take all the crons submitted in say, July, and select one that they consider written best. This topic was about what that winner should get.

No no no, we'll take all the chrons submitted in July and give them to you (don't let your ego interfere Ody, its a plural you ) to decide which one is the best.

As nice as that might be, unfortunately it's just not practical. Cythera is considered by ASW and gandreas to be a finished work, and wasn't designed with plug-ins in mind. Also, gandreas has no plans to make an editor available, and there's no indication of a Cythera 2 anywhere on the horizon.

OK, for a one time only deal, a small patch that replaces one of the player graphic images with a provided image, so the winner can play as themselves...
