Taking a subject change, while waiting for feedback on that topic ~
Mooting the idea for next charity event:
How do you feel about 24hr sponsored orb score?
This would be based on MTI, so would be fair for each player, and a sponserable challenge (especially within the Gopping communities) and people could either sponsor by overall score (saying an extra x gp, for every x orbs scored past the designated target), or could be done on an hour by hour basis (how many hours in succession, in which they can manage to score above a set hourly limit).
This would be a relatively easy thing to work, in that it's for charity and people's effort will directly impact their ability to raise more money - so it complies with standard sponsorship traditions. There aren't really any other workable ideas, other than donating all money gained (which is limited by number of players, doesn't require effort, and isn't a challenge), or people competing for a prize to donate.. which doesn't work much as it's going to be donated anyway, and it doesn't matter who wins as there is only one choice of outlet to donate to (so they don't even get a choice of charity to give to, by winning).
As it seems the only way of keeping an open limit on the amount able to be donated, and that effort links entirely to the ability to donate more (added bonus that there would be lower tensions caused between people taking part, and no real way to cheat. + any disruptors would easily be reportable under the rules, without need for extra explanation, or it causing too much on-going disruption to the targeted party - due to the only reason to disrupt would be to disrupt, which is reportable, rather than ambiguous accusations over one-upmanship).
Any thoughts?
At least starting to think about it now, let's us gauge a good scale of orbs to score against MTI (although would be even easier if your group also kept averages..)
