Newbie race (in Contests)


miteke [Superheros] March 12 2005 12:15 AM EST

I'd like to run a Newbie race contest.

Rules:

1) All players start with a new char and run the char for a set amount of time (I'm thinking 3 days).

2) No character may have more than 50K of assets at any time. Your fellow competitors and sponsors will do the policing. Hopefully there will be no violators so I won't have to determine a fair penalty - but any penalty up to forfeiting the race and a bad rep is possible.

3) At the end of the race period, the char with the greatest PR gets a prize of a base level Lesser Tattoo of Augmentation at the very least.

If you are a truly new newbie, we can find a sponsor for you to equip you with 50K worth of junk - um, I mean valuable equipment, either as a loan or a gift.

Anyone like the idea and would like to sponsor anyone or run in the race or donate to the prizes, just speak up! I'll decide by Monday whether it is worth my time and tattoo based on the responses.

No, you do not need to be a true newbie, just start a new character. But if you ARE a true newbie, I would want someone to sponsor you both as a mentor and to pick up 50K worth of equipment to help.

If you don't have any equipment worth less than 50K, don't sweat it - play a mage team. They don't really have equipment.

If I can get 5 folks interested in the idea, I will launch it on Monday.

I guess ill have a swing at it

I only see 3 volunteers so it does not look like it is a go.

I think I see why Jon does not run those tourneys in CB2.

Nightmare [NewNightmares] March 13 2005 8:40 PM EST

no, Jon never ran the tourneys on CB1.. that was private and Avoid.. there just isn't enough stuff out there to offer prizes yet for tourneys.. as it is, an LToA isn't a big enough prize to grab most people's attention

make it a cash price of 100k :P

If you're still doing it, I'll play :)

BrandonLP March 14 2005 3:31 AM EST

I'll donate a LToI.

miteke [Superheros] March 14 2005 7:45 PM EST

Still not enough contestants.

We have a LToA and a LToI, winner picks first, 2nd place picks second.

Since a few of you seem very interested I'll give it a little bit more before I give up.

Sorry, no 100K checks from this manager.
