I think I should win because I can follow directions, namely:
Just do one of the following:
I will respond to question number one as if I were to recieve 21b flat out. Even if I recieve a little bit, I will try and implement this plan based on percentages...
The Plan:
My goal with 21b would be to spend it all as quickly as possible in a way that makes my game more enjoyable, opens me up to new aspects of Eve, and will give me long term rewards.
21b is obviously a lot to spend, so I would start with a few basic investments that I have never been able to do before, but have spent countless hours lurking in threads reading about them:
1. Lotteries: 10%, 2.1b
Lotteries are a fun concept, you spend a little and might get a lot. Unfortunetly, you have to have money you are willing to lose... which I have never had before. Ofcourse, I would only invest a small amount in each lottery, and try and get into atleast 10. I would also try and avoid lotteries with bad chances or returns.
2. Investments: 20%, 4.2b
Again, another fun concept that I have never been able to get into, but have read all about. Passive income is a great way to play the metagame, feel involved in the community, and ensure you dont have iskies just sitting in your wallet. Again, I would go for a diverse portfolio, I heard something about a great eve bank oppurtunity- read about one guy that made 250b isk in it! (joke)
With some basic market investments made, I would start looking at ways to explore other areas of the game I have never seen. I have been a carebear:( most of my eve careerer, but want that to change!
3. Buy a PvP Character: 40%, 8.4b
With a 8.4b budget I will be able to afford a great PvPer. My brothers recent advice was to master one ship class before moving on. I have played in Frigates and tech 2 varients, but never mastered them. So the character I get will ofcourse be a master of smaller ships, rather than capital ships, t3 ships, or Battleships. I will take my high SP and start pvping in... Frigates! I will work to master frigates, then move on to t2 frigates, assault ships, and so on, slowly climbing the ladder and learning as I go. Oh, and ofcourse, it cant be Caldari... we have enough of those in the universe methinks...
4. Ships, ships, ships: 10%, 2.1b
I heard that to learn pvp you need to be ready to kersplode... a lot. I will start with a cheap fit in a basic frigate, and play in those for a long while, then slowly move to larger ships... But this amount of money will insure that I wont be afraid to fight to the death!
5. PvP Trading: Jita4-4: 20%, 4.2b
PvP is going to be fun... But I've also heard that the more competitive form of PvP in eve is found while sitting in stations... I have tried it a bit, and I want to get into some bigger ticket items, because lets face it, selling 20k modules is no fun, even if you are moving hundreds. I want to get into a nice big juicy market to play with the big dogs in this competitve arena!
6. The last 10%: 10%, 2.1b
I tried, I failed! 21b is a lot of monies! This is a fund reserved for something awesome and amazing! I just dont know what yet! But the goal is that I get 21b and bring it down to 2.1b in a short time. 2.1b that cant be used for another possible eve experience... something spontaneous and fun... what is it... don't know yet... Buy a hulk and stare at roids? Host a community event? Hire some mercs to wardec the first corp I die to in PvP? The possiblities are endless!!!!
Review:
1. Lottery: 10%, 2.1b
2. Investments: 20%, 4.2b
3. PvP Toon: 40%, 8.4b
4. Ship Stash: 10%, 2.1b
5. High Value Trading: 20%, 4.2b
6. Rainyday fun fund: 10%, 2.1b
Final Plea: I follow directions, I am coherent, and I have a plan! Even if thats not worth 21b... maybe a few iskies? :)
