If anyone is around, wanted to know what you guys thought of this random idea I had for recruiting players for a PBP game:
So, people can be good players, but sometimes they don’t mesh very well with the style of game I run just because of differences in how we play. The idea is, I run two home brew one shots, each with 6 players. I run all them at once. Whenever a player does something especially creative, fun, or interesting, I’ll award them a point. I’ll award points fairly often, and they will be very useful. This encourages the players to engage in the habits stated above.
Once a group finishes, I’ll ask the group who would be interested in continuing to a larger homebrew campaign. Anyone who is interested will get a chance. I will total up the points of any player who wants a chance at the bigger game. This will be their modifier.
Then, each of them will roll a die (the size will be determined by the average amount of points the group gained per person, so that way the usefulness of points vs the usefulness of a good dice luck is balanced). Their modifier will be added to the die roll, and the three played with the highest scores will be asked to join the new game. If they don’t, they can differ to the people farther down the list
on a tie, the player with the higher modifier gets preference. If they are still tied, we roll flat d20’s until someone gets a higher value.

No. I do the opposite. My family rich enough to be able to make beans taste slightly better at the cost of ingredients.
We usually make our own refried beans from leftover ham-and-bean soup. It's pretty good.
