Changing screen-names would be nice...and I don't think should be THAT big a deal. The high-volume players are going to get noticed again fairly quickly anyway assuming they continue to play.
I just don't think it should be that big a deal to change one's name once a year or something like that.

yeah, id even pay FPPs for a screen name change. According to stars its some huge ordeal to change screen names tho, which is complete BS, because I know a ton of people who have had theirs changed either for retarded reasons, or simply because they have a friend in support.

E$

Elite Dollars

Each year, Supernova's receive 20,000 E$. These E$ could be used for a variety of media-covered tournaments, including televised World Series of Poker events, European Poker Tour Events, Asia-Pacific Poker Tour events, Sunday Million weekly tournaments, and World Championship of Online Poker events. To encourage the use of E$ for live events (which would be much better publicity for PokerStars), travel and hotel accommodations will be provided by PokerStars (which really is the current case).

Example:
MicroRob uses his E$ to play in the WSOP main event. This costs his $10,000 E$ and Stars pays him $2,000 for his travel and hotel. He is left with $10,000 E$. He decides to play a bunch of WCOOP events and a couple of Sunday Millions. Fortunately he makes one mini-cash for about $400 and buys himself some new sunglasses and an ipod.

Sethytigger loves the higher stakes live events and also loves traveling. After grinding all year he decides he needs a break in January, so he takes the trip to the Bahamas to play in the PCA. He uses $8,000 E$. His schedule has an opening in September, and he has always wanted to visit London. So he goes to play in the EPT London event, which costs him $11,300 E$. With his remaining $2300 E$, he chooses to play in the main event of the WCOOP (putting in the remaining $300 himself). After winning EPT London, Sethytigger becomes a permanent fixture on the poker tour for decades to come.

He's so wrong. Making a minicash of $400 has zero influence on me buying a new pair of sunglasses.
I don't spend more than $10 on sunglasses so I am pretty much able to buy them without the mini-cash.

He's correct that I could use a new IPod though and very likely might spend the money on that.

Whilst in london chez takes Sethytigger to a seedy part of Soho where whilst everyone is preoccupied with strippers and drug deals he furtively slips him E$ in return for wads of cash.
