Assigning Experience Points
Hello, Playground. I'm beginning my first rules-as-written, non-freeform game and I'd like to run an idea or two about assigning experience points by y'all.
For my game, I'm planning on giving out bonus experience points as follows:
Voted Points

The reasoning here is that by allowing players decide on how some experience points are alloted, they'll be more involved, and pay more attention to one another's posts (I forgot to mention that this game is Play-by-Post; any general advice for running PbP would be much appreciated as well, but by PM rather than on this thread.)
Metagame Bonus Points

The idea here is to reward players who acquaint themselves with the setting information, as well as pay attention to the names, places and story line (although I expect my group to do this naturally, I figure it can't hurt to reward them for it a little bit). This also lets me see what the players are expecting or theorizing so that I can adapt my game as I see fit.
Good idea? Bad idea? Please be honest.

Re: Assigning Experience Points
If that is a small percentage (1% - 2%) and the players are nice people, it could be a good idea. Just hope nobody starts searching Google for every name they read!
