Are you up to the biggest challenge you will ever have in Eve?

Complete the challenge and dramatically increase your wealth, while having fun.

In the spirit of Christmas, I have partnered up with the New Order to multiply your wealth 10x, up to 1 trillion isk. Just follow the steps below and you may be selected as one of the lucky participants:

1. send evemail to me and James 315 with the subject "I accept the terms of the Christmas Game" and in the body tell us why you should be selected. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you would do with your winnings.

2. await response.

3. (if chosen) send us a full account api, all categories chosen. We need the key id and verification code.

4. Contract all of your worldly (in game) possessions to me or James 315, or another authorized representative.

5. Send us all of your isk.

6. This concludes stage 1. continue to stage 2.

7. You will be tasked with ganking selected targets in Highsec. Ships will be provided.

8. This concludes stage 2. Continue to stage 3.

9. Spread the Good News. This will be explained later, but essentially, after you have entrusted us with everything, and blown up worthy targets, you will show your cleansed spirit to the galaxy.

10. Collect winnings.

11. Reply in this thread with the story of the Christmas Game, from your perspective!

Merry Christmas!

(ISD please lock this thread on 12/27. If it's a success, we may do a New Year's version- thanks, Held)

I am afraid my wife would complain if I would hand over my house and other worldly possession.
In-game assets however would be fine by her. However that would lead to my own objections.

So I am afraid I have to decline your offer to play this game.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Of course, that's what makes this game hard. It's Eve after all. The first two contestants couldn't get themselves to do it either. The game is easy to win as far as poking buttons, but very hard mentally.

We'll see!

In any case, Merry Christmas!

"edit" ah, I see what you mean, edited that line. Thanks!

I'm almost afraid to ask, "What...exactly...is 'success'?"

PS If you're dumb enough to fall for this, start a new thread so we can learn who you are.
I have a bridge in San Francisco I'd like to sell you. It's orange.

There just isn't anything that can be said!

They got 20 retrievers, 40 strip miner 1, 60 mining laser upgrade 1, 20 survey scanners... and 1 veldspar.

Seems like a dumb scam to fall for.

I hope one of the failed contestants posts here so we can understand what stupidity they were asked to perform in step 3.

Setting up a 'Christmas Game' scam is a dumb idea on its own. Haven't you guys learnt anything from the past?

I wonder why this hasn't been locked after 3 days, as it is an obvious scam from bunch of idiots supporting someone as CODE.

Either he's Rich and actually gifts stuff or.

I forgot poors exist in EVE besides myself, a quick "get rich". Why would he/she actually go through effort for you that they wont go through for themselfs.




Theifs, they are.

Spellcheck doesn't like "theifs".

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

I know, right?

It's not even amusing or original enough to not report.
