Questions about proposed changes

[Jarka]

Give people REWARDS for playing as groups, just like the old quests did. More prestige, more xp, more whatever you decide to use. Maybe leave the rewards open for things like the massive ship that Civil Unrest got for Red Stallions.

An appropriately sized reward for group effort. Large enough to make it oh so delicious, not enough to be completely game breaking.

Considering the challenges (and community payoffs) presented by posting within a group, this is definitely a valid suggestion.

Perhaps after providing overall feedback, people could submit their final scores (for the purpose of prestige accumulation) of someone's work in private to the staff member over-seeing the grading of the thread? That way, y'know, no one has to get their feelings hurt. (unless in your feedback post you call them a douche or something >_> )

This could really cut down on a lot of the fears of bias that people have brought up. My only hesitation would be how would the graders know which staff member to send to? It would require a staffer to call dibs on a thread when it was first posted. Or, it would be awesome if there could be a way to keep all replies to person A's grading thread hidden (except staff and each grader's own reply).
