You're OK, but the idea sucks.

	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? -----signature----- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C.

	I will fund this train wreck, just to laugh at the people who reach 990TKE then get killed by a wage slave

	Oh God, Che, I love you. Now, do I actually participate, or just sit back and watch? -----signature----- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C. Clark "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology." --Larry Niven

	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. -----signature----- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C.

	Just getting to 1000TKE would be a job in itself, let alone with no help

	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. -----signature----- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C.

	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. -----signature----- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C.

	Very nice idea as I said, Davan. I may attempt this myself with a mortal character if Che will allow us IMM's to participate. -----signature----- Don't fear the Reaver!

	No one has come forward to an imm with a claim of 1000 tke on a HCPK character. So AFAIK the contest is wide open. -----signature----- Got questions? AIM :divaroseDJ YIM :DJRendalyn ICQ :1345246 awakenedlilith at gmail.com
