In-Game Events and Gatherings

Can i have your stuff?

To prove that you're serious, of course.

Obvious scam is obvious.

The entry fee is only 500m isk, then you can have his stuff

The entry fees go into the pot. So my ill gotten isk and the entry fees go to the winner. I fully expect a number of people will or would try to enter this and just throw spaghetti against a wall in hopes of hitting the lotto. So 500 million is this big scary number:

• Its economically prohibitive.

The amount itself in connection to anything Goon related has become a boogeyman in its own right.

The incredibly cynical turn their nose up at the mention of it.

I don't expect good ideas to come from the fearful or cynical because they never put skin into the "game" in EVE or real life. As for the greedy, well they will have to risk losing and my experience at the poker tables is that the greedy run away from anything that puts them at risk. They like easy wins and holding onto their poker chips. Anything that asks them to take a risk tends to have them batten down the hatches and wait things out.


Either way something very neat will happen. We will have hopefully a number of great ideas come out with one being considered the best. Now the best idea will have that 2 trillion plus entry fees to make it happen, but those other ideas may find homes and people willing to help.

Now if paranoia and cynicism take hold over this event I think a conversation about that will happen. Its a conversation that at some point will have to take place. The levels of toxicity in places like Reddit and produced by certain players, you know who you are, gets to be examined. What is really worth having in a game, who is really worth having around?

Is a scammer that does his or her thing in game and leaves it all in game worse than someone who hops on Reddit or EVEnews24 makes wild assertions and encourages other players to punch someone in the face if they ever see them?

My hope is simply to see the best of us come together and do something no other game can do.

Even if this is very likely a scam, I have chosen to participate and submit my Alliance's project, Chao3, to this "event".

I value what Big Country himself brings to the community, and at worst I will see this as a gift to BC for his achievements (he has the best laugh of the podcasters, and is a cool dude...).
BC, you got half a billion incoming from me, and if I win this, the half-billion will still be yours.

Now if this is not a scam and If I win, these ISKs will be used to continue developing our alliance, fighting against taxes in-game, and establishing our Minarchist Revolution in New Eden.

I'd be happy to assist should OP decide to take that path to ease peoples minds.

If you want to touch base with BigCountry of The Open Comms Show I am fine with you holding the entry fees. If you are available that night I'd love to have you on board as one of the commentators.

Rofl gtfo, goon asking for 500 mil entrance fee. This is not a scam. Please

You know using Chribba would only sanction the ISKgrab. This still can be rigged so OP gets all the ISK. If you dont know how, you deserve to give him 500M.
