Jesus, in from the start of the first contest and I still haven’t gotten anything. The RNG’s been screwing me over on everything related to my main lately.

Done and done.

There are a LOT of “unimplemented” items. what gives?

Yay! Two-timer! I hope I get all 5 BP. Then I’ll only need two more for Episode 2.

Hmm. That’s tricky. I’m personally all for getting more people interested in the game, but I also mentioned in the opening post that eligable contestants would be limited to one character per IP.

After thinking about it for a while, I’m willing to compramise (provided, of course, that nobody objects). Your brother can participate, but (to keep things fair) the two of you will share the 5 BP cap on prize awards. Additionally, the two of you will share a “draw ticket”, meaning that the chances of your IP getting a prize is the same as any other IP.

I know it’s a bit harsh (okay, a lot harsh), but it’s the only precident I can set that doesn’t scream “make up family members and enter your alts”.

Edit: See below

Okay. I’ve decided to change one of the rules of the contest. After thinking about it for quite a while, I have decided to change the restrictions on eligible contestants from one eligible character per IP to one eligible character per person.

My reasoning is this. The original purpose of this restriction was because I was trying to get the referral items in the game. Billy vs. SNAKEMAN only counted each IP once when awarding referral points. Furthermore, I was able to verify that players had unique IPs by keeping track how many players hit Chunin before I should have gotten the items and comparing it to how many players hit Chunin before I did get the items.

However, this is no longer the case. The first BvS contest was so successful that I received the last of the referral items on the first day of this contest. As such, my goal shifted from getting referral points to expanding the playerbase. Additionally, as there were no more items to get, I had no way of verifying that all the contestants did indeed have unique IPs anymore. As such, I have been operating on the hope that all contestants would fairly represent themselves.

Looking at the current situation objectively, any players who wanted to be douchbags and pretend their alts were different people could have done so without being caught, while those who were honest about sharing IPs have been excluded. With this change, honest players sharing IPs (such as siblings) will no longer be restricted as severely. Dishonest players, on the other hand, will not gain any ways to cheat that were not technically already open to abuse.

I realize that blindly trusting everyone to be nice and play by the rules isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done, especially considering that among the contestants are cheaters and players who have admitted they’re only in this for the BP, but this appears to be the most fair way to balance expanding the playerbase as much as possible with preventing cheaters.

The first post will not be updated, both for Toxx reasons as well as my belief that if you aren’t willing to look through three and a half pages for a post like this, you probably don’t deserve the lesser restriction.

ALL CONTESTANTS THAT SHARE AN IP WITH ANOTHER CONTESTANT MUST DISCLOSE THIS FACT!

This is because I technically still have one method of checking player’s IPs. It’s expensive for my character and very time consuming, so if I have to use it to investigate an abnormally large jump in my student count I will be a very unhappy ninja. Any cheaters I catch like this will no longer be eligible to participate in the contest.

Yeah, for those who haven’t heard, the OP just won the top prize of $501 from the referral lottery that was going on at BvS. Congratulations, now buy us all more BP Log in to see images!

After discussions with the OP, since this contest results in rewards for him, I’m moving this thread to Ayn Rands (so the BP rewards are still binding) but no peen will be given.

I see your strategy paid dividends. Log in to see images!Yes. I contacted MC Banhammer about that and he decided that be best course of action was to remove the Big Give peen that I got from the first contest (which was during the BvS contest timeline) and move this thread to Ayn Rands. Hopefully, that makes everything good now.

But this does mean that I’ll probably keep this going beyond the 50BP that I initally claimed I’d be giving out as long as we’re getting new entries.

Yeah, damn it. Congrats on the buckaroonies.

I also won 50 bucks, but that’s nothing compared to what you won. Log in to see images!
