Just because you were uncool to some people doesn't mean you should make an effort to be uncool to everyone. Be cool to those who you still have the option to be cool to.

True, but there are also other options. Random example, giving a token to everyone who posted in that thread for their effort, even if their idea wasn't used (or even reviewed). This rewards everyone who took the trouble to write out ideas, without punishing those who couldn't post in time.
That might be an okay option. It's just giving a participation prize though, without actually rewarding quality or quantity of work. That's still not very fair. Hmm.

PW could also look through the thread, and give 1-3 tokens based on quantity and/or quality of their suggestions, regardless whether their idea was reviewed or not (things that indeed gave him ideas could be bumped up into a higher category if he wants to). Fairer, though also more work for him (though he could delegate that to the council).

Give everyone T-shirts that say "I gave piecewise ideas and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. Good thing he was in a good mood."

You know, because he's a GM and he gives death and threatens tinkerers with death. Yeah, maybe the joke was too subtle.

I wholeheartedly support RC's idea as I'd end up with at least one token, possibly.

Also, by the by, I know there are some biologists and doctors like Baldman out there, and does anyone have any advice on how to replace or reattach a missing hand using a foot long German sausage, a destroyed umbrella, and a syringe launching electrically controlled crossbow?

I only tinkered to create the haebi arm and it was accepted. I'm so proud of my 100% acceptance rate :D

I asked for it mostly because I think it makes for a radical exomedic.

Now we're talking. That still doesn't cover the royalties we were promised for successful designs though.

[well the sharkmist weapons werent really intended as anti armor to begin with...
They were basically meant to be dirt cheap weapons for newbies that give more options than "stab xeno, hurt xeno" and "stab armor, break weapon."
options like "stab sod, tranquilize sod" and "stab xeno, watch xeno melt."

Also the acid version was more to burn through gaps in the armor and debilitate the wearer than to actually degrade the main defensive surfaces.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I'm no doctor, but it seems pretty simple to me.  Attach the umbrella's spine to the radius and ulna with bolts made from the metal supporting the top of the umbrella, and then bolt the crossbow into the umbrella's spine.  Throw out the hand, and eat the sausage to celebrate the successful procedure.

((Just a question.... How many people wants something with Renen. I only saw one that the Doc told to kill Renen....))

Actually, for some reason the one who the Doc asked to kill you is assaulting a newbie for no apparent reason.

Well, he was challenged to a duel by Abigail in the VR.  Iveson is not one to turn down a duel!

@RadioControlled about the payment.
How about 1 token for posting ideas in the thread, 1 token for each [council] stamp because those are a fast and easy way of identifying worthwhile contributions, and standard tinker royalties on any [council] stamps that became a successful product?
