I had an idea today and Raziel suggested that I post it on the forums for opinions.
The contest is this: The first person to create a new hardcore character, who toggles PK as soon as they are able, and then manages to reach 1000 TKE with this characters, wins an obscene amount of money (10mil?) to be distributed as desired among that player's alts.
Rules would be limited and fairly simple. No grouping with any characters who are non-HC and non-PK. No loans or 'donations' from any characters who are non-HC and non-PK. No help whatsoever from any characters who are non-HC and non-PK.
Killing other participants in the contest is not only allowed, it's encouraged. Survival of the fittest. Non-HC characters must have a very good IC reason to kill one of the HC PK contestants, otherwise they should be punished with extreme prejudice. No carebears interfering in the contest.
First HC PK character to reach 1000 TKE must inform an Immortal, who can confirm the fact and end the contest.
This contest would need some major funding... Either by Che (unlikely), or one of the few old characters with a large enough bank account.
So, thoughts?

Just pointing out that the 'no help from anyone who's not both Hardcore and PK' rule means no Salvation Army, no fixers (unless that fixer is HC and PK), etc.

True, but for 10 million nuyen, no reason to make it easier than it has to be. Just trying to keep things fair, in case someone gets a load of cash or a bunch of great equipment from another player in exchange for a cut of the possible winnings.
And people can always team up with other HC PK contestants.

Be nice to have a running roster of who's competing in this. I think it's a waste of time, but I'd still be interested to see who's doing it and how they're progressing, as well as who's getting pwnt.
It's been discussed and it's been decided that all contestants must have a mandatory title (or pretitle, if they get that far). Che hath spoken, and the flag we all must wear is such: ^MFLAMING HC CONTESTANT^n.
Yes, he said that.
Enjoy.
