Also, I had a brilliant idea for improving VHLGFX while chatting with DaaD tonight.
For any future VHLGFX Ranks/Tourny, I propose the following relatively simple change, which IMO will heavily boost activity and effort.
I understand we can't award tpe for the winners of the tourny, because not everyone can compete when it comes to graphics. My proposal is as follows:
- Keep the same "week" format, just like we had this year, where competitors just submit a new sig every "week" period.
- On every voting submission add a 'username: ____________' field.
- Give 2 uncapped tpe to every member who votes for every week of the tournament, regardless of them competing in the tourny.
- Keep the 'no rewards' for the graphics tourny itself.
This will not only heavily increase VHL engagement, because all members would be willing to vote, even if they have no interest in graphics, to get the uncapped tpe.
It will also improve/motivate the graphics makers on the site, knowing that so many more eyes will be on the graphics, and the entire league (more or less) will be seeing their work / seeing the standings / acknowledging the graphics gods.
I will now tag people who I think can weigh in / give us the okay to conduct future gfx tournys in this manner:

ty in advance for reading this and considering my idea
