    ABing still would trump it all, someone could easily SS for a day or two, then go straight to ABing.

    Would you count assets as well? (Unsold items, pets, stock etc)

    We can include this in the challenge...
    -We will only look at the amount of nps (bank+on hand+shop)

    So if you abed something big but can't sell it, you're still losing XD

    I like the idea and would participate, but having a winner takes all prize could lead some people to get desperate and just transfer over from their main and claim they rsed something big. Also, enforcing people to pay up at the end may get a bit difficult..

    i don't think it would be all too difficult cuz i mean like if we do what somebody suggested already which is we give all the usernames and passwords to a mod or a couple of mods then they can check in periodically and at the end they would be able to just change the passwords and collect the nps to get the prizes...

    Yeah, fair point. I think it's good enough that people get the honour of winning, and keep their own prizes. It's really more about bragging rights.

    What do people think about prizes in different categories?
    eg.
    Most profit made in Stock Market (largest Market value increase in portfolio)
    Most rare pet AAed (screenshot must be included)
    Most profit made
    Most trophies awarded without getting frozen
    Wooden spoon award

    And do AAers have the screenshot function? Not any I've come across.

    I can provide a slowed down version of my AAer.
    That way, I'm sure I'll snipe all the pets before all of you >:)

    wooden spoon = fail award, lol

    Commy, I love that idea! But maybe we can limit the categories to things like "Best ABed item", "Most legit looking account" "How the eff weren't you iced" etc lol. AA'd pets, trophies, etc. don't exactly correlate directly with np-making (besides account/pet selling, lol) so we could have separate competitions for those another time, after this one? We should also perhaps have a one-day abing competition, user who abs the most expensive item wins (we can put a poll up in Level V chat with the item names and vote on the 'best'). But that would come after this.

    I'm excited!

    I can't wait for this, then the straight up abing competition. You can't AB much safely with a newbie shell.

    Read all posts without peeing my pants out of excitement!
    I just *hope* we don't start this weekend, I'll be away

    Umm, I imagine it would be on an honor system. I would probably split my profits between my main and the overall winner ;D
    Here are my suggestions for categories:

    Best Pet (voted upon, CAN be through lab; includes stats/colour/species)
    Bank Account
    Avvie Count
    Most Prestigious Friend (if any of you are munsterpoo or featheralley, that doesn't count)
    Largest Shop Til at any one time
    Trophies, plain and simple...
    Highest quantity of *profitably* AB'd items
    Most Prestigious Guild

    Both prestigious ones are a bit iffy, since that is very opinionated and all...
    Could we divide it into two categories, maybe? I know for certain that I'll have to be on a proxy the entire time :(
    So unless non-ABing categories are added, I will be in a bit of trouble
    The reason I like this idea is because it tests the ability of us to keep an account alive for a month, and use proper combinations of ABing, SSing, etc :D

    Edit - maybe we could disable the alert-sharing feature of AU for the people competing in this competition?

    I believe you can actually manually disable the alert-sharing?

    Hmm I think this has grown from a straight-up NP making competition like we originally intended to a best-account-after-one-month competition. Or a account-that-would-sell-for-the-most-on-the-BM contest.

    Not that that's a bad thing by any means, but if that's what the general consensus wants to do then we'll of course just need to modify the rules and outlines? :)

    I'm all for the honor system but I think everyone should pm the contest administrator the username of their account the day they create it.

    I like all the ideas I see here but don't you think it's getting a bit out of control ??
    1 or 2 categories, 3 at max would be ok.
    I don't want 20 users all focused on something different.

    A main cat. : Most nps made in a months

    2-3 sub cat. : Most profitable item abed - most trophy

    I think a limit of three is good. Most nps made, Most profitable item AB'd (that includes non sold items?), and I'm not really liking the whole trophy idea as I don't really see it pertinent to the whole np-making concept? That's just my opinion though of course.

    Instead of a set NP prize if anyone wants to contribute a prize they can and we'll divide them approriately amongst the categories
