As do I

I like the scavenger hunt idea very muchly. And, I would be willing to donate at least 1,000G to the artist we've asked to draw for the seven sins project.

How much should we set the standard "thank you gold" for contributing artists? I'm thinking 1000g for awesome pieces, and 200g for the decent works.

Yep, that's what she's there for! Although, if we're going to start giving out gold, then there definitely needs to be some system of income as well! Any ideas aside from donations and the ads?

Why am I posting here? Because...

1) *flails arms* Peek into HQ for me, would you? Just a minor emergency, that's all....

2) I need gold to take care of this minor emergency, and there are three ways to earn gold. You can post for it, win it, or beg for it. I personally like to call it charming it out of the bank account. smile Hehe...

From now on, I think Best of Issue winners should be awarded 500g! All in favor say aye.

eya!
