Chances at More Mice W/ Word of the Week

[r u s s e t p a w - - -]

So, recently my mom bought me this little book to help me with my vocabulary for the SAT. Anyway, it give me this idea. Perhaps, DD could have a "word of the week" thing (words from this book)? Every time you use it in a role play post, you ca get so-and-so amount of mice. I think it would encourage people to use a higher vocabulary to get more mice, and it will also help in real life. C:

Thoughts maybe?

That's so funny, because I was thinking about having a word of the week a couple days ago! And a person would just have to message me with their post with the word of the week in bold so it stands out, then I'd give them some Mice. How much Mice do you think is appropriate? Too little wouldn't encourage people to do it, but too much would mean people would go overboard or something.

I think it should be only be a one per person thing. Like, they use it once in a post, and that's it. Because if I made the reward be, say 100 Mice, then they could just repeatedly use the word in each post they make, making a whole bunch of Mice. =/

I think a one-time-per-word thing is fine. As for the amount, even 10 seems a bit much. I mean, there are a lot of words, and even getting your own litter (135 mice), that would only be 14 words/weeks/3-4 months. In reality, that doesn't seem like a lot to me.

Although, I'm assuming that the mice you get from all your character's accounts adds up to "one bank" (like you could have 70 on one and 30 on another to get something that's worth 100).

If you include that factor, maybe about 5? Then again, I'm not actually sure how many people have more than one character, so... *shrug* I say around 5-10 though, maybe 15 if 3-4 months seems like too much (that would also mean you'd have to role play one character and use each word every week).

Although, you're still getting mice on top of that from regular posting. Maybe 5 is better after all...?

I think 5 Mice per person is wonderful ~ Do you have a certain word in mind? Since you suggested this, I'd love if you'd pick the first word of the week.

Not a particular word, but I got the idea since I have a whole book full of them (all SAT-level apparently, although I'd imagine many role players know the easier ones). c: Although, for the first word, I think a good one would be:

duress - hardship, restraint, confinement

The example in the book they give is:

"During interrogation, the suspect was under duress to confess."

Nice word! I'll add it up after I'm finished making the skin c:
