More F@H Prizes?

[bls1999]

The rank tokens and other prizes on the fah scale are helping to find a cure for cancer? Unless you think that's a waste? In return of our help/contribution to the fah we get prizes/rewards. As for "We're not in the business of giving out free ranks" statement, Jiggmin decided to do business with fah to his game. As long as we fah for the good cause we return get stuff so yes we're in business so to speak.

Of course, I don't think F@H is a waste of resources.  It goes to a good cause, so it should be encouraged.  Jiggmin hasn't done any kind of business with Stanford University.

In my opinion we can all put more stuff like the "rare non-epics" on it in a higher fah pointing scale while we can put rank tokens in the mix. This doesn't need to be a problem of something we can't figure out as a Community. I think if Jiggmin decided to be open to the idea of putting for example Croc, and Rein set and Arti Hat to the fah scale along side a few rank tokens (not a lot, maybe 3 more tokens max?)

I understand that the rare set/hat are in the contest in the Platform Racing 2 Discord (Dangevin Server) but honestly not everyone can do those contest and maybe to those we can fold should be able to obtain it that way. I know this issue has been debated for the longest time but I am curious if we can come to a solution that will work for everyone's benefits. 

Croc, Rein, and Arti Hat are not going to be on the F@H scale.  These are exclusive parts that are only available to people who can complete GGP (at the moment).  The compromise is letting new contests award these parts, which is something I'm open to letting happen (i.e. Artifact at 60 CotM Points); However, to offer them as a folding prize is, in my opinion, not the way to go.

As in "fah points scale" for these I do believe that they're rare so in order to keep it that way we do need it to be higher in the fah pointing scale so I was thinking a good starting point is 50M-300M along with putting the rank tokens. 

You can even expand this instead of doing a "set" on fah you can do "a set head, body and feet" as separate fah points for example:
- 50M can be (Artifact Hat) - absolutely not. in what world is the arty worth less than croc/rein?
- 75M (Croc Head) - no
- 100M (+1 Rank token) - I agree with this
- 125M (Croc Body) - no
- 150M (Croc Feet) - no
- 175M (Rein Head) - no
- 200M (+1 Rank token) - see comments below
- 225M (Rein Body) - no
- 250M (Rein Feet) - no
- 300M (+1 Rank token) - see comments below

Comments re: parts inline above.

With regards to rank tokens, I realize what I said before might be a little bit much.  I'd be open to this progression:
- +1 rank token @100M
- +1 rank token @500M
- +1 rank token @1B
- +1 rank token @1.5B
- +1 rank token @2B

It should get increasingly more difficult to get more rank tokens as time goes on.  This progression would reflect this.

You also have to think about since I don't think you never folded anything above 1M that in order to do these fah points you'd waste electricity and I know that you don't care about other people problems but you do have to keep in mind that players should at least be able to do the f@h with some sort of knowing that "yeah I am going to waste electricity but it's going for a good cause and I will get these prizes/rewards" and points in the 500M+ imo shouldn't be worth it since then it'd come down to "who's the better spender" and we don't need that in Platform Racing 2. 

With that mentality, we should get rid of all Folding@Home prizes altogether.  The "who's the better spender" aspect to F@H has been in play since the start of the game.  This would simply be an inflated 2018 version of the 2008 "fold me cowboy pls."  Again, it should get increasingly more difficult to get F@H prizes as time goes on.
