Was thinking about the prizes that he had mentioned and thought we really should get something a bit better than gold.
So what about special units that are only available to people playing these forum 'contests'?
For example for the Poetry challenge perhaps have a special unit called Poet Laureate and give him some really good stats say 500 attack and 1500 defence.
For the add me Monday contest perhaps a different unit, Mad Munday with 600 attack and 600 defence and finally one for forum participation. Maybe called Forum FANatic and with 1500 attack and 1500 defence. If other players start seeing these units turning up in the game that might give them a good reason to check out and participate in the forums other than the influx of fakes et el.
