User blog comment:ImGonnaBeThatGuy/Quick Opinion Question for Upcoming Contest/@comment-4998996-20140815071613

Completely open, the wonderful users of our wiki work wonderfully when they know there is a reward. Originally people would edit and do things just to get badges, when we had badges off, activity dropped.

While a game is a lot more then a badge, that is encentive enough to most people that a topic might actually inhibit some people, if they are like me, from writing a new story for this very contest.
