I think Damon summed it up.
And there are us former mods who could run such an event. I organize real life things every other day that would make your heads spin. The only issue is we can't access the forum tools to make our own sub forum in the tournaments section without being...a moderator, haha.
But I think seeing a moderator fight to the death (with a tasty resurrection) would be amusing. I haven't seen Santh write one piece of literature since I first joined back on Pre-Pre-Crash Althanas! I demand quality! Lead by example! XD

Keep in mind, guys, that gratitude doesn't have to come in the form of a big project. If I wanted compensation for my work here, I'd demand payment. I'm not trying to shit on your idea here... I'm just telling you that we don't need that much.
Like I've been saying, a 'thank you' after a judgment is awesome. Judging is the most time-consuming thing to do for a moderator on Althanas, and it's nice to know that it's taken well.
Also, I appreciate those of you that have thanked me for taking up the reins of the recent tournaments. I know things were far from ideal, and I'm glad that you guys took the many delays with a level head. Gisela will not follow in the vein of Althanaversary.
Guys, back in the day, I organized a tournament in the Citadel in which contestants participated in a seed-spitting contest. I was not a mod, had no power to move or sticky anything, and it was a smashing success.
Don't sell yourselves short. You don't need us to run amazing events.
And I'd like to thank y'all. I've just finished about 10 straight hours of Althanas related labor, and this is just the boost I needed to go to bed happy.

Anyway. Simple thank yous do very well to show thanks. You don't need to do anything elaborate, just a note after a judgment like Atzar said. Or give me something cool to read. Or bake me cookies. But not the kind with needles in them, please.

Hey now, I've eaten Witchy's cookies before and they were fine! I mean, I only hack up blood every few days.

What really makes me feel good after judging a thread is a person asking, "What can I do to improve?"
That really makes me feel good about putting the effort into it.
A strand of light bounces off
Only to be lost in white
