I mentioned this on Discord, but Mario Kart and TCG both should be participation Normalium. I was planning on adding a bonus, either Flynium or Normalium, to the tribe that wins the most as a whole on both of them, but I want participation to be the driving factor in both of those.

I'm a little confused about some of these - are 3rd places weighted the same as participation in some events? I'm not sure how I feel about equating attending a movie event to, say, having created a map for the map-off or having sent in all the trivia questions for VGtriv, albeit a bit slower than first and second place - the level of effort should also be taken account with the scoring imo.

The way I see it, being an active part of the event and interacting with everyone is just as integral as competing in things, so I don't feel there's anything wrong with equating mass participation with earning a lesser place.
