Weekend PTs

Symmetrik · 09-16-2017, 07:36 PM

Why do Weekend PTs require the same amount of work as a regular PT, but must be done in less time and payout less TPE?

The current Weekly PT was posted September 11th and is due the 16th, worth 3 TPE and must be 200 words.

The current Weekend PT was posted September 15th and is due the 17th, worth 2 TPE and must be 200 words.

With basically half the time and 2/3 the payout why do we need to write the same amount? I think weekend PTs should be 50-100 words based on the time given and the TPE paid out.

I think it's intentional. Weekday PTs are for the slightly more casual players. Weekend PTs are a bonus for the ones who log in more often and are willing to put the same work in for less payoff. Same as the basic equipment and pro equipment, or $500k training and $1m training.

Not really though since no matter what 1 mil = 5 TPE.

in this case, 200 words = 3 TPE, or sometimes 200 words = 2 TPE

I do get his point. Maybe 150 words?

Average typing speed is 40 words per minute. Shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes to bang out some rambling garbage.

When in doubt, add adjectives.

I support the system the way it is. Missing 2 TPE a week won't kill you but it's nice to have the extra opportunity for those who are active.

Sure, if you have the words to type about. Things slow down a bit when I have try and find 200 words about why the name Archetype Schmarchetype made me want to shoot myself
