Current Reward: 100 Million Isk (Will Change if anybody adds to it)
Challenge 1: Write a Paper is the first in a series of challenges to the eve community that I will be issuing. Those who perform well in these challenges will earn in-game Items and Isk depending on performance in said challenge.
Topic: The Topic of the paper is why Autistic Savants are the next stage in human evolution. You need to make a compelling argument backing up why Autistic Savants are the Homo-Novis/_bermensch. (It dose not matter if you actually believe this. Any collegian individual with an average IQ can write a convincing paper about almost anything.)
The Rules: If you fail to follow any of these rules you are instantly disqualified!
1. The paper must be APA formatted with proper citations and a reference page. 2. The paper must be at least 5 pages in length, 12 point font and no double spacing. 3. Plagiarizing in any way shape or form will disqualify you! 4. Any Images, Charts, Graphs, etc do NOT count towards you minimum 5 page length requirement.
Advice: Do not be afraid to use complex medical and psychological terms. This is a upper level paper so at no point do you have to break things down as if writing a paper that a layperson was going to read.
Winners: There can be only 1 Grand Prize winner. The Grand Prize Winner will take the reward listed above. Any other winners will be given isk according to their performance but that reward shall not exceed the Grand Prize in isk value.

Thus implying that you don't have an average IQ. Write your own damn papers or drop out and let someone more worthy attend college in your place.

Go do your own homework. If you picked such a poor topic for your term paper thats your problem. Speaking of which, summer semester is almost ever isnt it? -------------

I am not sure if you guys are trolling? This is not homework.
It is a chance for the eve community to prove their worth to me. This contest has been open internally to genos members for a week now. Now it is open to the eve public.
If you are so afraid I will steal your work then just submit it to turnitin. That is not what this is about.

Would you accept an essay on why "Stages of Evolution" completely miss the point of Evolution and are at best psuedoscientific?

IF you are going to do something like this, at least offer some decent ISK for it and ask Chribba to hold the ISK for you.
This is an interesting topic, don't get me wrong - but make the pay interesting as well, like 100 bill.

Edited by: Xenuria on 05/08/2011 21:16:25 Seems like alot of lesser beings have replied to this thread.
Also why do people still think this is homework? I already said if you are afraid that I will try and steal your paper just submit it to turnitin. That way your name if forever tied to that paper and there is no way anybody else can use it to an assignment of any kind.

A solid 5 page paper for 100million? Yeah no? I don't even do those for A's while going to the school I pay a **** ton of money for.
Furthermore any good assignment of that magnitude for such little pittance would allow a person to pick their topic....Also they would be allowed to argue either for it. I also doubt you could tell that it was plagiarized unless you had programs which could detect as much against a database or algorithms against structure.
Also silly topic because neurological/psychological disorders aren't evolution. Given the randomness of it all. Evolution implies inherited traits to best fit the environment from ones parents/clone in the cases of microorganisms.
All the same I've give you props for attempting to have someone do your work for you for so little reward. Papers at my school usually go for $50-$200.

Yeah.. But what nobody seems to understand is every collage worth going to checks student papers against plagiarize databases like turnitin.
I pointed out that if somebody here were to make a paper in submit it to turnitin before giving it to me then I would have no possible way of useing it for an assignment.
So by openly offering to let them submit it to the turnitin site I am effectively proving that this is not some assignment i am trying to get somebody to do for me. "Sweet Jesus, It's an Anti-AT field!"

Originally by: Blacksquirrel Also silly topic because neurological/psychological disorders aren't evolution. Given the randomness of it all. Evolution implies inherited traits to best fit the environment from ones parents/clone in the cases of microorganisms.
It's exactly because evolution is random that neurological and psychological 'disorders' are part of evolution. Evolution doesn't 'know' the difference between a 'normal' neurological trait and a disorder; the only fact that matters is whether the trait increases the odds of passing on genetic material.
There's also the possibility that various neurological 'disorders' are linked to other positive traits that outweigh them in terms of natural selection. Sickle-cell anemia is a good example. Carrying one copy of a certain mutated allele makes you resistant to malaria. Getting the mutated allele from both parents makes you very sick for your entire (short) life. But the sickle-cell trait continues to be selected for by evolution in Africa, because, on a population level, the resistance to malaria benefits the species more than the occasional sick person harms it.
Of course, this is all theoretical, because there's no evidence (take note, OP) that autism is genetic or that autistic savancy is inheritable.

Good luck getting anybody to write an original 5+ page paper about ANYTHING (let alone something they care nothing about or even disagree with) for the equivalent of less than 5$. Add at least a zero and you just might start getting a minimal interest. Ramp that up to at least 4 bil ISK before you start actually getting people bothering. And have that ISK in escrow on a reputable 3rd party, up-front. _

While you have made the most intelligent post so far itt I would ask you to look closer at the genetic connections to autism. There is no evidence only theory and yes I know I know.. correlation dose not imply causation.
However that is part of the challenge...

It is Eve Online Related...
I am sure you know that Eve online is a game were the majority of the player base is on the autism spectrum. Not to mention the Officer spawns who are said to be autistic. I mean come on now.. Your smarter then this Akita... "Sweet Jesus, It's an Anti-AT field!"

Your just a trouble maker, You are attempting to make the case that eve online is not the haven of autism and mania that it's community has come to know and love.
The paper is eve related because it is about autism..
Autism is a prominent theme in the chronicles, the books and even the descriptions of some officer spawns.
