The problem is you've cultivated exactly the opposite kind of reputation you need to pull this off properly. You could even intend to be somewhat honest about this, but because of your reputation you will be scraping the bottom of the barrel as usual and only get a few desperate or greedy people submitting ideas, the same kind of people who fell for your previous scams. In the end you'll get a few bad ideas, a few billion ISK and you can claim there was no winner while you pocket the money. This isn't even good enough to get some laughs.
No I absolutely was a scammer and yes there will be some that just stay away from this because of that fact. That's fine by me. But I doubt there will be a few bad ideas. I don't think you give our community the credit it deserves and even though you won't be participating I hope you will watch and support those that do. |

So what exactly do you imagine you or CCP will be doing with this great idea that we'll be pooping out?
Cause I don't think "ideas" is where CCP is lacking. Manpower, ability to follow through, quality of implementation, sure. Ideas? I imagine their hundred employees and who knows how many volunteers and all of us on the forums can poop out millions of ideas each day.
This is why it's a scam; you're making a crusade to "save EVE" based on something that's worthless.
Here's a free idea: CCP should seize the assets of anyone who declares they're quitting EVE, because they're quitting after all, and CCP can put the ISK and PLEXes to use to pay their bills or for PLEX4Good. Will also eliminate all the fake drama "I quit" posts. |

Of course a community vote would be the fairest for contestants, but like Scooter said before; it is his ISK and he wants to decide where it goes.
If people want to give away their ideas then that's up to them, but the biggest issue is the non-refundable entry fee that encourages Scooter to act as he has countless times in the past, simply stating he doesn't like any ideas offered while keeping the ISK. If the entry fee were to go to a charitable cause this conflict of interest would be resolved and trolls would still be deterred, it's not like Scooter cares about the ISK since he's quitting, right?

Entry fee of 500 million for such a generous benefaction - and for one who is touted as the most fabulous scammer in history. Really, the largesse alone is breath taking. However, if generosity indeed it were, the buy-in would be gauche, graceless, ill-mannered, insensitive, and shall we say just a tad on the SUSPECT side?
Pass. But, thanks for thinking of us.

Right now Big Country is holding the ISK, if Chribba wants to show up and hold it that's fine by me. I am picking the winner and its not going to be some b.s. idea or something functionally impossible. I have invited to Big Country to not send out the ISK if he thinks foul play is afoot.
But if you are throwing down bets for the NFL put a billion on the Redskins. You never know.

Disclaimer: I am with the Imperium and I will never take any of Scooter's money. I am just putting out a constructive idea no matter if its eligible to win or not.
TLDR: the 2.000.000.000.000 ISK should go to an open SRP fund for new players venturing into nullsec/lowsec/wspace
Long version:
Imho the biggest divide in this community is between nullsec/lowsec/wspace players and highsec 'carebears'. It is my firm belief that the latter group is massively missing out on some of the best content this game has to offer. You like to mine in 0.8 space? That's fine. You like to run missions in Osmon all day? Go ahead. Just know that there is so much more to this game. Let's be honest, compared to other MMOs, Eve has subpar PVE. If one experiences only the PVE aspect it is not unlikely that one will lose interest. If one never experiences the harsh, exhilarating, unforgiving, exciting, heart-pounding PVP and metagame, that's one less happy player to give account about her or his experiences, that's one wasted opportunity to break into a game like no other, that's one less buddy to call friend or foe. The detrimental effect this has at large scale on the game needs not be described, or else this would be another 'Eve is dying' post.
The problem is, people are risk adverse by human nature. Even in a lab experiment without any real life consequences. People avoid loss, even if it is only space pixels. So let's take away that fear. Replace their losses at 150%. (Gasp!) Make them fear losing out because they are NOT risking their ships. Don't make PVP a losing game for them. Don't make it a null sum play. Make it a winning game.
So install a 2.000.000.000.000 ISK ship replacement fund open to everyone. With a simple web interface where people can post their lossmails. Player age <90 days and system sec <0.5 and player limit of 100 mil not yet met? Instant ISK transfer. (You might want to fine tune these.)
I hear your screams. Will this be gamed? Hell, yes. Will we see alts made to exploit this? Hopefully. Will someone lose ship after ship to get rich? Shame on him.
In the worst case, there will be endless content on the borders of highsec.
In the best case, that's 20.000 new PVPers.
If you find this idea lacking or sucking, great, post yours, post a better one. |

I don't care if it's a scam or not, and neither should you. 2,000,000,000,000 ISK is bound to get some attention, so it's a good catalyst for idea generation. And if you are afraid someone could steal 'your' idea about a space pixel game, you need to get real.

You like to run missions in Osmon all day? Go ahead. Just know that there is so much more to this game.
I tried going into null once. Over 9,000 svipuls jumped on me within a minute of arriving. I thought I did a good job of checking the map ahead of time and I didn't see that many people logged in in the map in that or the surrounding systems combined. While I know I did several things wrong, I'm not 100% sure what they were and I'm not keen to repeat the experience.
That's the biggest problem. Not being able to easily answer what I did wrong. The process of having to read too many wikis and watch too many youtube vids to answer that is daunting.
I think the biggest barrier to entry for null is the fact that you have to be willing to lose a number of ships/pods early on to learn how to survive there. Either those losses drive you to try harder or move on for easier pastures were you aren't getting swarmed before you can get your bearings. Lyte over at riot is fond of reminding people that bad experiences weigh twice as much as good ones. Also first impressions matter a lot. So for the typical newbie to null, some of your early impressions will be of your butt getting kicked by a dozen ships working as a team, each one costing 4-10 times more than what you are currently flying. That's enough to drive at least some people back to high sec and make them bitter towards going into null.
I'm not saying null is terrible and I'm sure a lot of people have lots of fun there. However it does have a barrier to entry and a bit of a learning curve until you figure out how to fly relatively smart. Either you get over that barrier before getting frustrated or you head back to high sec. Since I have no idea how long its going to take me to have fun there, nor how much isk I'm going to be flushing down the crapper in doing. So why go back if I can just expect to lose and not have fun in the process? If I could have fun, that'd be something else. But I didn't have any fun the last time I tried null. Or the time before that. Or the time before that.
