My thoughts: If you don't have enough rabbit points to allocate even one to grey pyramids, go do another demo or whathaveyou. It's fine to just BE a rabbit and not DO anything, but the Rabbit Point system was designed specifically to get you to DO things. The Dangling Carrot is exactly that -- a reward that's shown to you to get you DO something. If you don't have even one one rabbit point, then you don't deserve the "exclusive" stash of grey pyramids. I like the system pretty much the way it is. Heck, I would even suggest INCREASING the rabbit point requirements for some things in the Dangling Carrot. BUT... It's not that big of a deal to me one way or the other. I'm not a Rabbit because it'll get me cool collector's items. Rather, to me, being a Rabbit is more about the non-material resources I have access to as part of the LL game playing community: 1) a list of like-minded Demo/Blab Rabbits filterable by state, 2) a home base during Origins, 3) an online community where I can discuss such things as new game ideas, rule minutiae, how-tos for running demos or events, etc. I'm just not that concerned with five dollars worth of rabbit points here or there. I rack up enough points each year to cover the minimum of anything I want out of the D.Carrot -- in fact, I dont' think I've asked for points for running tounaments at Origins '06 yet. AND there's nothing in the DC that I need NOW. I can wait until I've racked up a few more points if need be.
