Man, that looks so more complicated than it needs to be. Also seems to demand work from not only the standard members who we´re trying to encourage roleplaying (not nescessarily offloading more work on them) and more on staff, despite the word count system most likely being implemented because it was much easier than revieweing each thread individually and giving a personal review and reward based upon the reading pleasure of the staff member, particularly back when Chubbs was bigger than it currently is. While it is a cool idea, in theory, that looks basically like way too much work and honestly I think I'd prefer just a staff member to do his thang and review it instead.
Also it sounds like communism. Okay it doesn´t, but really. Having every member with a post count of 5+ (that is not a lot considering the current minimum word post) chipping in every time something needs to be reviewed like a hassle. Also if a writer is on a drive (that is usually when I tend to write the most) I usually finish multiple threads on the go within short period of times, those would both need all the same members to go review two things at once and it appears to just be a mess.
Having standard members decide rewards regardless of effort put in begs for abusal of the system. I sometimes talk to Vad and most likely talk to him more than anyone else on the site, should I be tempted to read one of his pieces and therefore have valid reason to review his roleplaying, I wouldn´t claim myself to be objective because being truly objective is about as hard as hard gets. I know that in theory the numbers should outshine the one that appears to just be supporting his friend, but more than often I pull crap arguments and support them with stupid reasons ("much like this post"), sometimes people take it for decent reasons and accept the argument. I dunno, just my 2c on the matter.
Also the reasons to have this in your post to me strikes me as subjective matters that depend on the person judging them. Personally I like the plot of Star Wars but I´m pretty sure some (inhuman) person out there thought that the twist of the father was tacky and as such disliked the plot while I enjoyed it. Style is also something to be liked on a subjective level and is the reason that writers are distinctive against one another and the reason many people maybe stick to favorite writers. I´d like that "etc" elaborated with more points that maybe are less subjective.
I think your system would work, I just don´t think it should work for something that should be a game, of course that brings me back to the point of where CDBZ is headed, but yeah.
