Need input and ideas for a unique convention game idea

But if you AREN'T sunk with your frigate and everyone else is bringing in SOL's, shouldn't you have some option to Keep Up With The Joneses without having to make a trip into the Locker yourself?

Possibly buying an SoL with some of your bounty?

Perhaps, but if raising money for a charity, you don't want to have any "leaks"... So, if they upgrade there, there should be no loss of what the charity gets... I would require an additional contribution, if it were me. The natural instinct of gamers is to spend money to improve their "stats"...

Take advantage of that. If you can do it in a way that is challenging, exciting, AND fun, you will do well in raising money for your cause...


AND... If you have a community that is already familiar with "THE GAME" you are playing, you can probably double and/or triple the costs. A player is waaaaay more likely to "risk" money on a game he/she FEELS comfortable playing.
