    Phee gave me the idea.
    What do you think about this ??

    I was thinking about something like a run time of 1 months (or more).

    All the ideas below may/should be improved:
    -Running time 1 month
    -You create a new account
    -Everybody start with the 1000 nps gained from creating the account
    -You may create a new account if you get frozen but previously earned nps won't count
    -Ways to earn nps permitted: ABing, SSing, ImageClick. No scam/np transfert/buying nps
    -Must provide logs/screenshots every week (This should only be visible to 1-2 members to control everything

    As for the prizes, I was thinking about a "winner takes all" version.
    Or at the end, we just buy as much PBS (or any items) of the same kind we can and split them between first, second and third place, creating inflation at the same time XD

    Anyway, I'd like to see who might want to join and please share comments/ideas !

    That's what I was thinking.
    Using more than that might be to difficult to follow. Even if we're doing a cheating competition, I don't want anyone to actually cheat the final result :arf:

    How about 2? One main and a side. But, no buying right? Or that would be unfair :(

    pssh then you'd just keep one on a diff ip and use it as storage while the other one did whatever XD

    one acct makes things so much more interesting

    I'd love to join, except I'm currently IP banned from Neo so I'd be at a huge disadvantage. XD

    Hmm I like the winner take all idea :p I might be interested in doing this to see if I can actually keep an accounts active for a month. Also I don't like the idea of using a new account since the race would be so close because we'd all be pretty much doing the same thing since there's not as many options on a young account.

    i think it would be entertaining to watch, but as for us without ABing capabilities or any other form of cheating, it's sorta pointless to even try, unless all of the ABers get frozen :p

    Which is what might, and probably will, happen if the competition gets really heated and people forget to be smart about it.

    That's exactly the point !!
    Even more if we are only using 1 account.

    Futhermore, having a brand new account is the key point here.
    Since we will be limited by item rarities for abing, we might have a hard time hiting big profit.
    And this prevent someone from getting a lucky grab (like a multi-millions worth item) cause he'll probably get iced by TnT fairly quickly. This will also slow down SSing a bit.

    I like the idea. I think the prize idea isn't amazing though. If a lot of people get in on this, it'll be hard for a winner take all kinda deal unless the winner gets all the accounts rather than just the NP. I do like the "Or at the end, we just buy as much PBS (or any items) of the same kind we can and split them between first, second and third place, creating inflation at the same time XD " idea. I'm liking that one.

    I just made a new account today, and got banned pretty fast but within the time I ran my ABer, I went from 1k to 150k on a 1 day account

    I actually don't like the idea of having any definite prize; it's too easy to cheat on this and a lucrative prize leads to hceating; a non lucrative prize is pointless since you'll have tons of np (hopefully, lol) from your efforts.

    Let's just say that you can make np however you want BUT no scamming, no transferring from or to other accounts, and that includes no buying nps.

    Or this competition could have a mystery prize that would be more of fun. It'd be a game of showing your cheating skillz :)

    Let's say make new accounts all created on the starting date, which is to be determined once we work out the kinks. Everyone needs to pm me/pando/Tharoux/whoever wants to run it their account usernames as soon as they are created, on that date.

    Maybe passwords too to log in and verify the account is truly empty and poverty stricken (lol)? Though I think that's pretty unnecessary, tedious, and could compromise the accounts.
