>1) I think all little rewards are awesome, and so should you, including
my interaction. ;)<

Was just telling someone the other day I'd rather have "good" IMM interaction than a reward any day of the week. Of course, I play CF to further my imagination and enjoy pretending to be someone else, not to rack up stats on how many people I killed or what phat loot I had. Thror made Ghrimriddor's entire life fun, and that's even if I had never got 1 point of IMM xp/Leader/Quest skill. He fleshed out the character and really made him fun to play, just by taking some time out to do cool ####...I think sometimes it's easier for an IMM just to give a reward than to do worthwhile interaction.

>4) Role contests - I'm on the fence. *old granny voice* Back in my day
when we first ran role contests, they were twice a year and all I got was
a title and two trains! But in all seriousness, I've benefited from role
contests too - I got a quest form for winning at a time when IMMs weren't
rewarding as heavily and I don't think I would've gotten one otherwise.
That said, I'm going to change the way I personally run and reward them
because I don't believe we need 3 winners and 5 honorable mentions
every month of the year.<

Hey, you're preeching to the choir. I haven't written a serious role in years (I prefer to write them now on the fly). However, the last 4 I wrote seriously (except for *wince* Jindicho) all won role contests. I don't think it's fair I get an extra legacy or whatever just because I can write well.

I'd touch on some other points but hoping for more discussion. Thanks again.
