please read if you are a supernova

1) That since the number of SNs has increased the value of the $50k has decreased per supernova. This is true. Who cares though? The Freeroll represents less then 1% of the value of being supernova so it is hardly a major issue.

The point is that it is a major issue for those who factored the $300 + value per month (as it once was) into their decision to play enough at Stars to get to SN status. Whilst I freely admit that represents in absolute numbers a minority I think it does apply to a fairly significant number of players. That being said I agree with you in general that a more equitable solution should be found, but if Stars suggest that the freerolls were designed with 1000 entrants in mind I imagine (and of course I am speculating) that number was itself based on a large proportion of the projected number of SNs entering. The point I continue to make is that with increased numbers of SNs the number spent on the promotion whatever shape that may take should also increase. I can't imagine why this is consistently seen as entirely unreasonable by many on here.
