Give credit where credit is due

Wumpus Amungus

I think a great community relations feature for the upcoming Alpha 2 testing is giving credit to the first person who finds a particular bug.

For example, say there is a bug that no one (not even the devs) has found. If someone reports it, you can give that person kudos in the next patch notes that address the bug. It could be as simple as saying "Thanks to Wumpus Amungus for reporting this bug," or "Many of you reported this bug but Wumpus Amungus was the first to report it."

I think that little bit of recognition would motivate people to submit bug reports, even minor ones. To some, it is like they are making a name for themselves by helping make the game better by finding and reporting bugs.

Just a thought...

Maybe, This could be an administrative burden though.

This is alpha. you're going to hit dozens of bugs every few hours.
