Part of the reason why WCRPG was so successful back in the day is because of all the event threads. The posts were short but most of them were a decent paragraph or two and everyone came together to save others from a fire or escape a tornado or something like that. Of course, once the site gets a larger member base, event threads just tend to become a spam fest but for now, when there are no badges/titles and the greatest monetary reward you can achieve is by making a good post, having events like galexiux mentioned are a nice way to get people to participate.
And maybe (depending on the event) by completing the task, characters earn the right to call themselves “monster-slayer” or “ghost-talker” or “hero of the flames” depending on what the character did in response to the event. And if it’s managed OOCly by the leader and/or deputy, the memberbase is small enough to skim through, pick out those actions that stand out, and award characters their honorary titles at the next meeting or the conclusion of the event. It’s just a nice thing to do so to recognize efforts without having to draw something or gift money.
