hell, if you want, suggest that stars names every milestone after a planet.
Names already used for battle of planets.

the steps are, essentially, a more socially acceptable form of crack or omaha.

Re: Official 2008 Supernova Elite pursuit thread

imsa - You are perfectly aware that you don't need to play SNG's to attain Elite.
If another $4200 at 500k isn't enough incentive for you to try to get there then that's not really Stars' fault because they already give you quite a bit.
For somebody like you, if you maintain the same pace for the next year, getting 4x FPP's for the following 6 months isn't that great anyway.

Same pace gives you 250k VPP over those first 6 months and you are getting 0.5x more FPP's per each one so that's an extra 125k FPP's for you which is roughly the same as $2000.

I believe your recommendation is to change the format to 500k VPP gets 4x + $2k milestone instead of $5k milestone.
So for some like you if you maintained this same pace this would be like getting $2k + $2k instead of $5k [plus your new special title too].
You have just created an incentive where the carrot being dangled gives YOU less value but it ends up giving more value to a lot of the people who make Elite who only hit 1 million per year [because they will get 4x FPP's for longer].
I mean, I guess this can also encourage you to get even more of your play out of the way in the first 6 months while you are in the 4x range but you would need to get a lot of the play out of the way to make up for the cut-back in milestones.

So at first I was thinking you were asking for Stars to give you more and I just don't think that's necessary at this point.
Now that I crunched some of the numbers I see that you are asking for Stars to give you less actually while giving guys who will make Elite even more. So I now find your unselfishness to be quite touching but I'm not sure your generosity is really necessary on this one.
