I like your idea. Quite a lot actually

It will also reward ppl for their endurance and avoid situations where it's all or nothing after many hard months of work. In addition it creates a more continuous reward system.

Nice insight.

I think the hugest motivation (expecially for vets) is the hall of fame.

It would be interesting if we could adapt a Nascar like device - total points.

I'd probably give a few points for starting - and then 1rst place would be 1/2 of the point total of all the participants.

2nd would be good for 1/4, third for 1/8.

this would make a victory against micah, dr.P, atul, and wriathlord worth *a lot* more than a victory against anon noob 1,
anon noob 2, anon noob 3.

Interesting, but it would be like putting a bounty of their head - every game they would be even more likely to get ganged up on. Still not a bad thing since that is probably the strategically correct thing to do anyway.
