GM grinding to get stuff.

The one thing I noticed in places I've been is that rewards, say a $10 gift card, which is enough to buy lunch, for example, or most of lunch and MPB or Manuels isn't exactly enough to get people to go wild buying things. When I was in Denver, there was one GM (one of the best I played with) who had had some emergencies and was basically dead broke. The fact he was able to GM in the morning and play in the afternoon was enough to keep him playing.

It would be enough to get a few more volunteers and also more GMs. Nobody is talking about getting rich and getting massive amounts of stuff.

On the other hand, having 15-20 GMs who are 2-3 star GMs is useful versus 5-10 4-5 star gms is useful to the community because it prevents burn out and encourages tables. If we are going to grow as a community again we need that.

That said, I get this option is unpopular (and I'd love to see your suggestions) and essentially part of the culture.

On the other hand, allowing the past GM's being "first" in line to sign ups might be a good, non controvertial thing?

All the best,

Kerney
