Thanks. And I think all the hiccups are finally ironed out of the automated incentives.
In regard to the additional incentives, two new things:
1. I have decided that requests for additional notoriety or faction advancement will not be granted. With the notoriety rewards being doubled for more than the next two months, I feel that both of these additional requests fall into the category of something that players can obtain themselves with that 'reasonable' amount of time in-game. If necessary for now, you can RP an unfair demotion or something (which is not far from the truth, sadly), or people thinking you're crazy for claiming you were time traveling and you 'lost' respect and notoriety that way, etc, etc.
2. If you feel that the automated incentives aren't enough for your PC and you send me a PM requesting additional 'stuff', I need everyone who does so to be as specific as possible about *what* you are requesting. Providing background on what you lost and/or why you are requesting something is fine, but then you'll need to specifically tell me what more you would like. I received a number of PMs that list off things a PC lost or detail where they were at, but didn't specifically say "I want X" because the extra gold/XP/notoriety won't cut it. Remember that if you're requesting an item, it needs to be one that cannot be purchased or made using in-game means - but you can request extra gold to purchase items if that's what you want.
So if you have sent me a PM that is related to additional incentives/stuff, and you're not sure you were specific enough about what more you want, please follow-up on it again before the end of the month and tell me exactly what you're looking for.
