Potential paid tournaments

[undone pelican]

I think since this game takes a lot of skill perhaps you guys could host paid tournaments in the future. Before you say the game is too small hear me out, I'd say start small like first place 10$ second place 5 dollars and like 3$ for third. This is just an example but doing this could also bring more people to the game and also encourage more people to wanna train harder etc. again just a suggestion but I feel like this be a good thing to do!

[valid spade]

the community already does!

[undone pelican]

Wait really? Where do they host it?

[valid spade]

MMT and MMT2 have paid prize pools IIRC

[torpid lichen]

BoC also had prizes

I'm not a huge fan of prizes for tournaments ngl, once it gets large enough for people to actually live off of it, it becomes a lot more competitive and sad

But small prizes are nice

bivn already does rumble like it's his job istg in 2 years people are gonna have like 10k hours on this game

but yeah i agree

[restive plinth]

there was also honeycomb havoc hosted by rumblebee

[torpid lichen]

im not sure if the money ever got paid out with that

so not a great example

[drowsy atlas]

[valid spade]

i'll pay the winner of MMT2 $20 and you can't stop me >:3

[drowsy atlas]

[valid spade]

i remember something from the recent Shoeless movie about a $5 prize pool? might be wrong tho

[drowsy atlas]

idk

[tacit flume]

should mm2 have prizes.....? i swear like the point of it wasn't to be that competative

but idk

might be reading wrong

[drowsy atlas]

yeah lachlan literally said no because it isnt fair enough

[tacit flume]

yeah thought so

[mossy vapor]

Pretty sure it did. We'd hear a lot more about it if it didn't. Just kept hush for spoiler reasons.

[torpid lichen]

That feels kind of bad logic

[mossy vapor]

That wasn't
"We're not hearing about it more therefore it must be paid out already"

That's "I'm pretty sure it was paid out because I heard about it from somebody. And also we'd be hearing a lot more about it"

I'm pretty sure Thom told me at some point he's just stuck in editing burnout

[torpid lichen]

Mm fair

[novel estuary]

BoC had about $600 in prize pools
