Here's my idea I posted about within the above post.
Skill of the Month
Each month, a new skill will be chosen at random to work on for that whole month. In order to work on it, it will not only be that month's competition, but each week's events will consist of a different method of training that skill. This will give members friendly encouragement to not only work on a specific skill that they may not regularly work on, but also to show up to events. Additionally, it may introduce new methods to the member on how to train the skill, potentially making it more interesting.
The events will start out with the most basic method, and end with the most advanced. For example, if doing thieving, the first week's event might be simply pickpocketing, then Sorceresses' Garden, blackjack thieving, and finally Pyramid Plunder. This will allow for time to adjust to the new skill and raise it to levels that may be required by the time the last event arrives.
Also, awards for 1st and 2nd place winners of level and experience gained divisions will consist of materials or objects that may assist with the next month's Skill of the Month.
Details on Wednesday and Friday events will be posted by Tuesday and Thursday respectively, maybe both on Tuesday if I can get around to it.
