Yes, Demonic, Admins should not be allowed to play. To use your examples of a running club, a club captain or president. Of course they are allowed to run - THEY don't create or enforce the rules, nor are they in a position of which they are able to gain any unfair advantage by banning runners from other clubs.

PS, perhaps even Admins should be given one (or more) links placed at the top of the page above even the highest MinAve instead of at the bottom as is currently.

Admins should NEVER be allowed to compete in Dynasties. Moderators, yes. All they do is make sure people don't swear in the forums, etc., etc., but Admins have to power to ban, kick, etc.

First, this all probably doesn't effect me since I'm in the process of leaving Yarolds due to time commitments. I'm also not that fazed on how this all ends up since I am/was one of those n00bs who was really only ever here to get clicks. The only difference is that I rarely went negative.

Second, let's be honest, the only person/entity which really benefits from the competition is Yarold/Stan/Rozz/yarold.eu. Stan has to increase clicks somehow. Yarold has to encourage clicking without discouraging clickers. I'm not discouraged - I'm leaving because of lack of time.

Third, my ideas:
1) Reward the top five (or at minimum, three) teams. For example, 1st = 80,000, 2nd = 40,000, 3rd = 20,000, 4th = 10,000 and 5th = 5,000 or better still 50,000/30,000/20,000/15,000/10,000 in order to encourage competition but still make the differences for the higher places more worthwhile.
2) In addition to, or separately from 1) Split the comp into two sections with three to five winners in each section. Have the sections locked in for the duration of any month so that the 'Durstan team' can't leave to gain an advantage and then return or even be accused of it.
3) Maybe the top 15 clickers isn't enough. Maybe it does need to be the entire team min ave. Even then I can see potential issues with that unless 2) is used. Perhaps the top 50% of a team or something would be better.
4) MOST IMPORTANT of these... The team who won last month should not be eligible for FIRST place this month. Even better, First is only eligible for 3rd at most the month after their win, then 2nd the next month, then back to possible first in the third month. This should encourage teams to still compete in subsequent months but still allow others to keep up or catch up.

Fourth and finally, Admins should NEVER be involved in Dynasties. Yarold does well by having a persistant link but a 0 minave. Reward Admins with a permanent link but remove them from being in Dynasties. This is for accountability. Why do you think that a cheque always has to be countersigned? Why does a Prime Minister have a cabinet?
