Just to preface this: This is not a scam. I am an EVE-Radio DJ, I *am* a Member of the EVE-Radio Corp. Ask any EVE-Radio DJ if I am legit :)
Yes, you read right. I'm going to be giving away 2 carriers of the player's choice (i.e. you choose the faction!). This will be happening on 31 July, 2009, with the competition beginning between 0030 & 0100 GMT, ending by 0300 GMT. I'll be playing my Assassin Squares game, with the last 2 standing winning themselves a Carrier!
You can read the Assassin Squares Rules over here:

Same play as always, here's the difference: it'll still be a 10 x 10 grid, but the entry fee is going to be 20 million isk per square, max 5 squares per person. Yes, this is a lot steeper than normal; no, this is not the new weekly price!
As of 06 July, 2009 - 82/100 Squares still available!
I'm going to offer ALL the squares on a pre-order basis, with any not sold prior to the contest up for grabs the night of the show.
If you want squares, please reply to this thread with your char name in game, and how many squares you want; send me the ISKies the week of the competition.
Good luck, and as always feel free to ask questions!

Is it too noobish to ask: "What is Assassin's Squares?" I read the rules on your link, but that seems to describe your particular rules for the game. Google was no help.
The way I understand it:
1) You buy a couple of squares on a 10x10 grid. 2) Then something happens. 3) Then someone wins. 4) Profit
Any illumination on steps 2 and 3 would be super.

It's pretty simple. Think of it as Battleship - except there's no blank spaces, and every "hit" it someone's head with a sniper rifle :)
But if you buy the squares, I eve-mail you your coordinates in private, so only you know your squares. I do keep a grid up on Google Docs so you can follow along and don't need to build your own grid. It does update in near-realtime, or as close as I can get when I'm in EVE and on air at the same time :)
I keep 1 square for myself to get the ball rolling. A square is called out. Say someone calls D5. If your square is called, you lose that square, but you get to call out the next square... you got hit, but now you get to make someone else bleed. You're only out of the competition once you lose all your squares.

What stops people grouping together? I.E if 10 people bought 5 squares each and gave all they're co'oord to each other, there'd be no way to stop them winning. --------------------------------- There's a simple solution to every problem. It is always invariably wrong |

If they want to try it, by all means go ahead; you're correct in that I have no way to police it and/or prove that people are colluding with each other. But I will say that during a few of my "normal" contests people have tried it, and every time they've failed to acheive their ultimate goal. Keep in mind that if they're buying 50 squares, it's 1/2 the board... and the other 1/2 are just as determined to win as you are. I've seen quite a few times where people randomly lose 3-4 squares w/in 2 mins, just due to people randomly calling them out, collusion or no. The way I view it - every legal/valid entry is a chance at winning... what you do with that chance is up to you (working alone, with friends, etc).

So let me get this straight: - The game is about shooting random square, to kill other contestants, - You assign the squares for each of those contestants, - You take part in the game, - You know the positions of all other players, every other player knows only his own,
- And there is no way, you, or some friend of yours will be cheating...
Right...
I think I'll sign up

I have no way of saying "look, I don't cheat" that you're going to believe. I can point to my past contests: No one has won a contest yet more than once. I put the grid up on Google Docs to make it as realtime as possible. If someone is not there, I purposefully do NOT call out squares, but leave it up to people not playing the game to choose for me. I can keep going on and on, and you'll either believe me or not.
My only suggestion is, try one of the games before this one - I run it every Friday morning, 0000 - 0300 GMT. Given that this big contest is coming July 31'st, you have 3 weeks to try before you buy :) Buy in for 1 square - it'll cost you 3 mil ISK, you can try the game out, and you'll see why I fill the grid every week, with both repeat customers, trying to win, and new people who like the game :) And if you win a prize, more power to you - to date 3 customers that have bought 1-2 squares have ended up winning a prize. Squares are random, who calls what square is random, and the prizes are random... dunno what else I can do to make it *more* fair. :)

The worst part is even if he is as safe and trustworthy as Ebank (which he is not) once people start to cooperate the rest cannot win unless they cooperate too, once majority cooperates the rest cannot win at all.
In the end the game only works if the prices are less than half of ticket price and pushes you to cheat. Publishing the names just kills whatever illusion of fairness was left. In the end of day someone will just buy two carriers for 500m each. There is no real game, it is just scam waiting to happen.

Quick two questions;
Do people do the calling out of squares on the in-game EVE-Radio chat channel, EVE-Radio's IRC channel or in a private conversation with you?
Is there a certain system in space which we need to be located during the contest?

Forge - Please don't talk about what you don't know about. Have you listened to my show? Have you seen the competition done? Have you spoken to *any* of the people I've linked who have won in the past 3 months since I've started doing these competitions, every week, without fail? No on any count? then I suggest you educate yourself before you blithely label me a scammer; I've given away over 2 billion ISK to date, and I've taken in 2 billion ISK to cover it. It's a zero sum game for me. I want to see people win - my main char doesn't need ISK, he's more than self sufficient.
EVE Radio has been in existence for 5+ years, and many people have worked very hard to give it the stellar reputation it has today. I'm not going to screw that up for them.
Suneai - No, you don't need to be in any system to play. I call all the squares out in EVE-Radio ingame chat. I don't really use IRC during the competition, other than a passing glance to make sure that nothing's on fire in IRC, etc etc.
The winner will be contracted the ship once it's been completed. I will also give them the name of the builder so they can find out when the ship has been completed.
Thank you all for your interest, and I look forward to giving 2 someones a nice cap ship!

I'd like to pre-order 4 squares for this character in that case, sounds like it'll be fun.
Gonna have to start spending a bit more time on the EVE Radio channel prior to the contest, to get used to some of the crazy talk that goes on. (n_n)

Yarp, contest is on July 31, 2009. Contest should start between 0030 and 0100 GMT, and will end no later than 0300 GMT.
I don't want the $$ until I fill the grid and we get closer to the contest, just in the off chance something goes wrong, I have to delay the contest, etc etc. I want to hold onto it for the shortest amount of time possible :)

I am just an observer who saw the eBank theft which fits your description too and was way harder to pull off. On top of it, you game is open to cheaters - in fact encourages cheating -and it is just a matter of time when they come and stain the station reputation. Sorry to rain on your parade.

I legitimately endorse this game. I have played and won a nice hound for myself recently.
Apoc is trustworthy in this comp and i will be entering.
Also eve-radio does other competitions which i have also entered, i see and have no heard no bull**** or scams coming from these guys, there rep is too longstanding.
Besides the most he could gain is a measly 200m - which is nothing, he'd get banned for scamming via eve-radio and eve-online threads.
Also he is a good DJ MOAR pendulum

Harsh rake, two carriers will roughly cost you 1.5 bil. So that should leave you with a nice little profit of around 500 mil.

Honestly Forge, were you born this stupid or are you just bored and like to cause issues in the Forums. Looking at your other posts I believe its the latter. Maybe trying to compensate for a lack of something are we? Or is it just the fact you can be important (in your own mind) while online. After being on the internet for over thirty years now I really don't understand how people like you are even still around.
Eve Radio has been around since Eve started, and I myself have been playing since 05' we not only provide a service for the game (we not only broke the fall of BoB but even had both CEO's live on the air after it happened.), but we give away billions of isk as well as GTC's and other prizes.
So its like this, you can check out Eve Radio, you can do the contest if you wish, or even some of the other contests or the billion isk lotto, or you can just STFU and be a jerk somewhere else.
