Re: Joe's Signatureless Challenge: Win $25 ($10 for 2nd) + 8 Merits every week!
Maybe a rule where the same member cannot win first place twice in a row, and a placement 3 times in a row? Then it would only be nullius donation thread every 2 out of 3 weeks 
For the first week anyway, I'll give 8 merits as well to the second place winner, as I have no doubt that nullius will win first week.

Great, thanks for helping to alleviate some of the merit responsibilities!
I think having stipulations such as not being able to rank consecutively would cause the loss of appeal to some participants. Although to keep it fair, I am thinking that the restriction may just be applied to the winning position. That way, everyone has a shot of winning the $20/25 prize at least every other week, and a shot at the $10 runner up prize with the same probability.
And who knows? Maybe one of the participants will surprise us all and end up topping my criteria for the week beating out nullius! It may be difficult but it is definitely not impossible!
So Id like to hear everyones thoughts on the matter. Im trying to keep this as fair as possible for every participant, not just nullius. Lets hear your suggestions! But please try to keep it fair for me and bill gator, as well, as we are putting up our own personal money for this challenge.
As it stands, the challenge will continue, and I implore every participant to review nulliuss post history to see what I find to be stellar post quality. Let that inspire you! While I know that your technical knowledge may not be up to par, Im more interested and impressed by his sentence structure and ability to contribute to the conversations without straying off topic or simply repeating what other posters have already stated.
Again, good luck to all, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions!
