Leadership DS prizes

[Vincent]

As it seems obvious that gifting DS was extremely supported and probably being added soon. For leadership of all games to get to give anyone in the community a free month of DS to three players (or how many decided) could be a great player magnet. This could be given to players in events or players that attended the most events, most active, most helpful, etc. There are lots of ways this could improve the numbers of people at all events on EGO. Doesn't even have to be event-specific, Could just give them out to players that are performing 110% and making EGO a better place with them around.

edit: Suggesting more of an allowance for leadership to give DS to players for winning events.

Favoritism though

Edit: before anyone says that favoritism doesn’t happen, it’s impossible to be 100% impartial or objective in handing out DS to other members. It will always be subjective and that just lends itself to favoritism, intentional or not.

Favoritism though

There is probably a lot that would be added to something like this if this was ever approved. For example, players could get banned for 3 months from winning again after being gifted DS. Manager's/Sr.Managers could have to appeal to the game group's ComMgr of why a player deserves to win and if the ComMgr believes they've brought up a good enough appeal and the players actually deserve it.

Favoritism is everywhere in eGO, but I'm sure no one that doesn't deserve to win, would win. When it's coming out of eGO's pockets.

There used to be something called DS lite that was like 1 or 2 weeks of DS for people that won events or contests. This would be fine, but I’m still against giving it out just at the whim of leadership. If you really think someone deserves it and want to give them a month of DS, buy it for them if gifting is implemented.

I think this should be a thing, but just for Community Managers/Senior Managers and one DS a month per game group. The higher you go, the less likely it is to be abused (in most cases). It should only be used for an event with a clear winner, like Skribbl or a Minecraft tournament. If you're doing something like a CS:GO tournament (which this has been a prize in the past) where everyone on the winning team(s) gets DS, just do it the same way it's been done in the past.

However, giving out DS should be more of a rare thing, and that's speaking as someone that doesn't pay for DS. Keeping prizes rare makes them feel more like prizes.
