Ok all. Here is the deal. Dave and I both feel that Chaoxtreme has done great work with the maps and that he should be rewarded for it. In light of this we feel that YOU as the players should decide on what this reward shall be.
Saying this here is how the suggestions will work. This thread will be open for the next 10 days and then will be locked. We will then take the top 4 ideas and make a polling thread that will be open for 3 days. This thread is to be ONLY used for suggestions and comments on suggestions, it is not in any way to be used for OOC/IC banter that does not have to do with this topic.
Thank you all in advance for your suggestions.

A hug?
j/k I would say automatic R&D for X turns.
R&D is nice, but as he plays two factions. I think a good ole fashion dip into the bucket of your enemies ideas is a good one. One faction, one enemy, full disclosure for 1 turn.
A Civil War. ;D
free R&D success might be a bit much especially if their some of the bigger ones.
more maps to make? ;D
new PFs?
HPG tech jump?
IG rating bump?
TH invasion fleet?
A few recharge stations?
a few new colonies?
some rp for infrastructure?
extra custom per faction?
Quoteextra custom per faction?
Might be nice, but I don't know if he actually plays..., I know he gives good orders...
Maybe a combination of goodness over three turns?
I saw we let him revive any dead person in the CBT universe, from Adam to Peter Steiner-Davion, and let him run that character as an undead monstrosity loyal to the faction of his choice.
As a serious option, we could buy him some beer. Or let his factions have some sort of HPG breakthrough.
I have this immage of an undead Corrine now, SMACHing things.
I think a hex element for each faction might be nice, since its sort of map related. Add one or two elements to the map as a gift to the map maker. There's a sort of irony to that, in a way, too.
Along the map-maker concept, I saw, a free successful exploration/colonization roll in a hex of his choice (bordering one of his faction's hexes).
How about we just buy him a beer?
What if he's not old enough to drink?
we drunk him drunk anyways and have him add a few things for the rest of us on the maps ;)
I am definitely against drugging him up.
1 or 2 Hex Elements sound great, though. *'s I would rather not let him have. For the sake of all factions. ;D
Or a new Colony. Although I question the worthiness of that.
A HPG Tech Jump sounds too much for me, though, even if I know he would like that.
I would give him a new custom to his Hex elements, and voila.
3 good things.
Mmmmm... the FWL has a number of internal hexes that are devoid of planets. So I think a free exploration roll for every cycle he has been making the map so far. And one free exploration roll as from now for every cycle he produces an updated map.
And have the roll be a 7 or better on a 2d6. Just to make the odds slightly better than 50/50.
cheers.
We do not have stupid special "NIOPSian" rules :P

He is coming to visit Dave and myself in November and we will be attending the NH beer fest. So in short, this will be taken care of.

First off I am honored.
Second beer justifies the existence of much of the world. All Hail Beer!
Thirdly...what is this custom design of which you speak? Do all factions get one or is this something that comes out of R&D rolls?
If I recall correctly, you get 2 per faction, and extras only if you have more players... I could be wrong about the last part :P
And that's on hold right now, anyway, until Dave and Josh work on the new rules for that. Only grandfathered designs are able to be fielded.
The rule had been three, irrespective of faction size (unless you were a merc, then you got just one), but it has not really resurfaced on these new boards. I'd favor one for each player, since we don't have any factions big enough to swamp us with custom designs any more.
As for grandfathered designs... we'll, I'm in with quite a few mechs then.

That's reasonable in my opinion.

I do like free stuff. Seriously all your suggestions are awesome and I appreciate it. ;-) Im good with whatever. Though if there is a Civil War in the FWL don't be suprised if Tommy pulls a Janos or is it better to say a Geralk?
Or as I like to think of it a Mengsk "I won't be stopped not by you, not by the Regulan's, the Andurien's or the Stewart's I shall rule this League or see it burnt to ash's around me."
That's reasonable in my opinion.
I made the maps for quite some time and never got anything besides trouble out of it...
but I cheer for chaos getting something...
I'm for him getting.... the chaos flu on 10 planets of his choice and the death of billions... sounds nice eh?
