Please don't encourage flaming of Kerith in threads I create.
He's a good pirate and RPer. Open an Anti-Kerith thread if you wish, so a moderator can close it for you.
I don't think events need prizes. The best ones (or my favorites as well as others) make it kind of hard to award prizes to single players. For example, one of my favorites is a war or rather, specifically a battle that's part of a war, because of all the people that can gather together and have fun. Who would you award a rare/valuable event item to in such a case? Would you give it to someone who PK's the most (if it's a stat/level PK-based battle...), or to whoever shows the fiercest attitude in roleplaying? But then that limits others who might not enjoy roleplaying as fierce characters, but are still EXCELLENT roleplayers. I think the prizes work well as OOC things. Let's say a kingdom has an event for finding a princess who was kidnapped and abandoned at sea. (The event can be something like.... there's MANY boats, whoever finds the right boat and gets to her first wins the event...and has to bring her back to the castle). I think it would be weird to believe that such a person in a real life situation would be awarded with a big fat sword. I would expect moreso- a medal, money, and a good rank in government/military.
