You mean, as in camping out in line to buy Phantom Menace tickets or
something? Well, we no longer have automaton scripts, so these players
would have to be glued to their computer screens. Unless you're thinking
they'd use cron or something... We'd better not make the rewards high
enough to be worth that.
But I suggest that if a task can be done by cronning, we do it by cronning,
and remove it from the list of tasks.
