Our last game on Saturday Night was a success and I want to thank again all who joined it and a big congrats to the winners. I also want to remind those winners that following the end of the 2nd game this Wednesday will mark the first dividend payout. To view the previous forum post in regards to the game and those winners that posted their experiences, click HERE
Now, the 2nd game Wednesday night at 05:00 Eve Time will have 5 ships to bid on, each with a random surprise gift item inside as an added bonus. These ships, again, will not be super expencive. I will not throw out the bigger ships until momentum builds up for the game. However, I am adding something to sweeten the deal. At the end of the game, the 5 (if there are 5) winners will have the chance to win a faction frigate. Details will be presented right before the game begins.
If you need the rules of the game...read HERE
The in-game chat channel to join is Make or Break. It may be empty atm, but will fill in closer to the game time Wednesday 9th.
See you there! :)
The rules, in case you don't want to leave the forums are:
I list a ship in channel, once per round.
When you click it, it will show everyone a detailed listing of what modules are equipped.
Then you have to submit a bid to me in the form of isk in what you think the total ship is worth on the market to my character to lock in your best guess. Your bid is the amount of isk you deposit into me.
The bid MUST fit inside the minimum and maximum amount I set at the start and also done within a minute of me posting the ship in the chat channel. I will be stating the time so that all may see.
After the bids are in place, I will take a snapshot of the bids and post to the blog located here for all to see: Linkage
The idea is to bid as close to the actual cost of the ship without going over. If you go over you lose. Who ever is the highest bidder wins the round.
If you are the winner, you not only win your money back, but also the ship, as well as 5 shares into the game show that later on will pay dividends to you when others play.
All winners get a chance to win for that night a special prize at the end of the game that costs nothing!!!
If you lose, you will at least win one share, as long as you didnĘt go over the actual cost of the ship.

Lol. Not everyone in eve is out to scam ppl. You can check the links above for posts at the bottom from ppl that played the last game. As far as in 100's of millions if isk, none of the ships tonight even pass 10 mill...and start in the low 100,000's of isk. It's no big loss for anyone if they lose. I did it this way so all can hav a chance to play. Some day if it gets bigger, I'll throw in a more expencive ship to bid on. Maybe.
As far as the Loki, it's a potential prize to be won that I'll make good on it if it is won. This game show thing is just for fun. To add something to eve a little.
I've already had winners before and you can ask them if they got their money back and ships contracted to them as well as shares.
If you don't want to play... Then come to watch at least for fun.

Edited by: Traveling Casino on 10/12/2009 02:33:03 Heck, the last game nothing went past 5 or 600k isk and the bids were around that range. If it's a scam, it's not a big one. Lol.
I understand the the scam flag posts though and it's something I'll have to spend time building up trust in ppl. That's how eve works. If isk is involved ppl immediatly think it's a scam. And Ill try the best I can to show ppl that I'm not scamming. But, can't please everyone so not worried about it.
It's just a game and it's all for fun. If you can't have fun in eve, why bother...unless your a Chinese farmer...then get back to work. Lol

Originally by: Alageth is that faction frigate still up for grabs or was it replaced by the Loki?
Not complaining if it was just curious
Sorry i didn't respond. I changed it because my first idea was to put a faction frigate up. But who cares about a faction frigate right. So I was going to put up a phantasm as the grand prize, but I said to myself, what the hell, why not throw up a nice expensive ship instead so I put up the Loki to drum up interest.
That Loki cost me about 1.8 bill to get bought and setup. Its a nice prize if I do say so myself.

Originally by: Svetdana Ya um, your gonna give away a 1.8bill ship / fit , and say that the only income you make is in the 100k's of isk?
If it sounds too good to be true people...
I said they have a chance to win it...didn't say its set in stone...its a chance...thats what a game is :)
Like I said before...its a game :)
Its just too bad ppl can't at least watch it and see for themselves before they go ahead and claim its a scam/fake/too good to be true. But, thats life i guess. and I'm fine with it

Tonight's winners were:
Rox Zane (2 times)
Infinint (2 times)
Nexlol (once)
No one won the Loki though and so it is still up for the next game next week. Thanks again for all the participants playing the 2nd game. Tonight's prizes were:
Griffin Executioner Incursus Catalyst Caracal
And for those of you claiming i would be robbing people, you can ask any of them and they can tell you it was a game. Nothing up tonight was over 4 mill isk, some were even as low as 250k isk.
Its a game to have fun in..thats why i chose items to be this low.
Anyway, stay tuned to the chat channel "Make or Break" to find out when the 3rd game next week begins. Until then, congrats to the winners and we will see you next time!
Good night Eve.....and fly safe!

If i wanted to scam ppl, i would sell fake CNR's, join corps to kill ppl by befriending them, make a fake eve bank for all to invest in, preach global warming...etc
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE >_>
Was wondering if anyone would notice...lol. AL ftl
