Baby boom coupons

Offering these short term baby booms are really not fair. No matter when you schedule them, some people will have to work, not be able to participate. At the same time, I believe there is a legitimate reluctance to have them "unending". In part, you want to reward folks who pounce on the events, want to encourage people to start early. Generally, you will schedule a longer one later, but those able to participate early always get an advantage in terms of high selling prices, finishing the events early, etc.


What about, instead of (or in addition to) these short baby booms, you offer a single event only boom coupon. The coupon would only be good for that particular event -- they would not be stockpiled for future events or used after the event is over (perhaps a small "grace period", but not much!) It could even be as short as 1 hour, since the "boom" part only applies for harvesting. However, a longer coupon would be nice for lower level players.

You could offer this as a premium, for purchase or just as a periodic bonus. If offered for cost, then some kind of refund or compensation should be offered if its not used (if a premium bonus, for example, you could offer Powerfeed in exchange, or something like that). If offered for free, no compensation is necessary, but exchanging it for 2 powerfeed would be nice.

EDIT -- upon reflection, if these coupons are offered, a refund would only be necessary of some glitch on your part prevented use, as long as a GOOD warning were given that no refund would be offered if not used.
