    So, I never play SG. I wouldn't even know how. So I don't have a personal stake in the constant debeting over kits/no kits. It sounds like the debate is But Kits Help Me Win and I Paid For Them vs. But They Suck For Everyone With No Money.

    So why not solve both problems? Have periodic no-kit SG tournaments where the prize for winning the tournament is a kit?

    Don't hold them too often, because that wouldn't be fair to players who did spend the money on kits -- but do it often enough for players with no kits to have a chance at winning something, and for them to gradually get some?

    I have no idea if this would work, because when it comes to SG, I know about as much as I know about rocket science. Just a thought.

    +1 doesn't sound too outrageous to me...Andrew has given out coupons etc to crazy lotto winners on occasions in the past, so why not... :b

    This has happened somewhat in the past when Andrew gets bored (i.e. "Winner of SG_ gets a ___ USD coupon!"). I personally love this idea, however, and would love to see it more! (About the same frequency as boss battles perhaps?)

    I'd prefer them to be at random, similar to the boss battles.

    I generally like this idea.

    Something I'd wonder about though...if I understood it correctly, it was once said that even phys can't influence a game to be kit or no-kit. So theoretically KH's 1/8 chance would need to be temporary deactivated and the whole kit permissions, too. SO much work for one game, and it would probably even require a restart to apply the new configurations?

    I have mixed feelings about it. :/

    It's a tournament, so it would be multiple games from my understanding.

    Still, I assume it would be like a full permission wipe for SG to avoid kits from being used, then, after the tournament, then do a return to the backup. :/
