Hi guys,
Exodus Gaming Community is offering up a prize!
Starting on the 1st September 2009 and ending 30th September 2009, the player with the most time spent in game on Exodus 1 will be rewarded US$100!
Terms and Conditions
[1]...: Nicks are important, swapping to smurf nicks will mean your original nick's play time won't increase.
[2]...: Anybody caught cheating or who gets a 24 hour temp ban for whatever reason will be removed from the competition without hesitation. If you wish to dispute the use of the !kick command for whatever reason, we will consider the facts and you may not be removed from the competition, should the punishment be found to be unjust for the crime.
[3]...: Going AFK will not be tolerated, if you are kicked repeatedly for AFK/IDLE (Max 4 in one month) then you will not qualify for the prize.
[4]...: Staff/Admins of ExodusCommunity.com can enter as well. However, as the organiser, arnyswart will not be eligible.
[5]...: Winner must be a registered player on our forums to qualify. If the person with the longest play time is not a member of the forums, they will be unable to claim their prize. We will go down the list until we find a registered member. This is purely for logistical purposes, arranging payment will be done via the forums and you'll be given a dedicated post on the forums, congratulating you. Player must have paypal.
[6]...: Our server IP and port is - 216.245.195.90:3220 You will not gain playtime on our second or third Renegade servers, nor by playing on any of the TF2/Left 4 Dead/Teeworlds ones... Yet.
[7]...: Everyone in the renegade community is legible to play, unless you've already been banned from our server.
Take me to exoduscommunity.com to view the awesome video!
Let me watch the video on youtube!
hurrr

Who wants to share a nick with me, so we can split the 100 $ in two, three, four or more? 
Edit: just to clarify, IMO you're pushing this a bit too far. Playing should stay fun.

i'm unsure if gotzow would oppose it had crimson said it about n00bstories and not arny about exodus
i've never heard of it being done before, but it doesn't seem in any way malevolent to me
spin it as hard as you like, i doubt any real bad can come from it
|
Yes, because I have been a fervent opponent of the Exodus community since it has been created... 
I also don't think I said that Exodus can't do what they wat with their money or server. This is a discussion forum and I'm expressing my opinion, just like you are.
What is it with this whole "OMG he said something bad about an initiative Exodus took, he must be a n00bstories fanboy!!!!111"?
I also ask myself questions on how fair this competition will go. It's quite obvious that sharing a nickname, if only between own family members, will bias the competition. Then again: I suppose the server owner doesn't need to care about that, as long as there's people playing on their server.

Of course we/they care (I'm an admin there, but as far as renegade is concerned I'm not that interested, I just do marketing and help out in other games and tasks).
It will be monitored pretty stringently, and we have the means necessary to work out if nick-sharing is going on, and it won't sit well with the administration at all.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding a contest and giving the winner a prize..
I don't see what the problem is.
However, if it were my server, I'd make the contest out to be:
'Of the people in the top 10 server rank positions, the one with the longest play time wins.'
That way, people would also have a drive to play better, rather just hang around. It would make the competition more fun... but that's just me.
|
But this may be wouldnt result in higher playercount, because the price would go to a regular for sure.
|
Not if the rankings are reset when the contest begins. Isn't the goal of the prize to get more regulars on the server in the first place? A regular would be a person who spends a lot of time on the server, and if the goal is to spend as much time as you can on the server, then that just means you're looking for more regulars.

how? 2/3 people in the same household = $100 richer, no way to defend against it. I like the idea, but time shouldn't be whats measured tho, should be ladder, points per game, or something like that which would make it more. worth while

...For a lot of teenagers one hundred dollar equals a few months of pocket-money....

This is totally and utterly incorrect.
A TEENAGER with $100 gives them a few months of pocket money? What day in age do you live in? It's 2009! A typical teenager blows $100 in a single day, rather than over the course of a few months...

It probably depends on how you handle pocket money. Most people I know give smth like 30 $ per month to their kids but purchase things like clothes, toilet stuff, ... for their kids. So the 30 is really for own use.
Or else we're all just out of touch  .
