    So I've been to several GM events like Jump Quest, Ola Ola, and Russian Roulette (not sure if there are any other game modes), and Russian Roulette is by far the least satisfying:
    • Jump Quest has top 3 chair/nx prizes, and a prize for those who complete it
    • Ola Ola has a prize for those who complete it
    • Russian Roulette has top 3 chair/nx prizes and nothing for the peasants.
    I understand the hype of the prizes and the nature of russian roulette is "all-or-nothing", but it feels pretty bad to spend 30+ minutes in an event and make it so far just to get nothing, and I don't think it really fits with the purpose of GM events to engage with the player community.

    In the spirit of $GME and WSB, I humbly suggest giving power to the players. Leaving the exact details to the experts, please consider some of the following:
    • Reduce the number of platforms in the map, so the event is shorter and you spend less time to get nothing
    • Give some top % of survivors a prize
    • Reduce this prize pool to be less valuable than Ola Ola or Jump Quest (which require at least some effort beyond guesswork)
    tldr: Russian Roulette is basically the American electoral college with winner-take-all politics, and I just think it would be nice to get an "I voted" participation prize

    Personally I think Russian Roulette was always a game of survive or die.

    I always hated RR and thought it has no place in the game, making people 20b richer in a 20 mins event (50 mins if ManE, no offense) is absurd.

    Never understood how anyone could put a price on something so sacred as the NX equivalent of GM Bathwater. ~f11
