I think this suggestion is great and should be implemented.
Not only can it encourage more players to become excited about build battle, but it can encourage more players to generally play more.
Additionally, changing around prizes can make players even more enthusiastic about participating and/or winning.
Even if it's just a bit more coins or a 1x name in murder I think it can benefit the network in several ways. Winning just that can encourage more players to play Murder. Considering the state Murder is currently in, it wouldn't be a major adjustment and only ends up benefiting both the network and players. I can confidently say that 500 coins aren't much compared to the time these players take to build, after all, it is considered an event and players should be given more for winning.
> However, I do understand that there are several rounds and constantly giving players larger prizes can become problematic over time so I do believe that we should increase the coins to about 1,000 and have either the first or final round a larger prize such as #x's name in Murder or perhaps VIP (VIP every other week).
* I just want to remind you guys that Build Battle happens every weekend and several rounds are hosted, thus giving each player who wins larger prizes can decrease the value of murder names and/or VIP if included.
I'll be voting +1, but taking my points into consideration as well.
