Another Idea

There would maybe be a way to put your items up for bet on a battle (like "I'll bet my chain on this battle"..), and a way to purchase items with credits.

@Pugz and I played a lot of Overwatch recently, and they do a really good job of this with the characters and items you can get for your characters, it really motivates people to play the game more. I'm thinking about revamping the Emcee system to be more like this.. and making Emcees more prominent throughout the site (new artwork too).

I like this idea and I think the more of this kind of stuff the better. This ties into my forum awards email that I sent you in a similar way. We need to find ways of reinforcing the behaviours we like (battling, voting etc.) when those behaviours are suitably reinforced they will increase.
