So I will be departing EVE. I have made arrangements to do something special in return for the 5 years of truly unique gaming that only this MMO can do.
Thank you all so much. |

Now I wouldn't be the type to question your 'good character', given my own rather jaded background. However, I must ask this:
May I enquire as to why there is an entry fee when the final outcome is to donate all you own? |

Really?
Question: What do you do with a Character that is synonymous with scamming??? So tarnished that regular scamming can no longer yield any results?
Answer: Host an "Im Quitting" final scam that requires participants to pay an entry fee , but make sure to state the event is not open to your own Alliance and disguise it with a "Make Eve Better" theme .
 Cuz everyone knows The Imperium and Scammers have always wanted Eve to be a better place for everyone

The entry fees go into the pot. So my ill gotten isk and the entry fees go to the winner. I fully expect a number of people will or would try to enter this and just throw spaghetti against a wall in hopes of hitting the lotto. So 500 million is this big scary number:
- Its economically prohibitive.
The amount itself in connection to anything Goon related has become a boogeyman in its own right.
The incredibly cynical turn their nose up at the mention of it.
I don't expect good ideas to come from the fearful or cynical because they never put skin into the "game" in EVE or real life. As for the greedy, well they will have to risk losing and my experience at the poker tables is that the greedy run away from anything that puts them at risk. They like easy wins and holding onto their poker chips. Anything that asks them to take a risk tends to have them batten down the hatches and wait things out.
Either way something very neat will happen. We will have hopefully a number of great ideas come out with one being considered the best. Now the best idea will have that 2 trillion plus entry fees to make it happen, but those other ideas may find homes and people willing to help.
Now if paranoia and cynicism take hold over this event I think a conversation about that will happen. Its a conversation that at some point will have to take place. The levels of toxicity in places like Reddit and produced by certain players, you know who you are, gets to be examined. What is really worth having in a game, who is really worth having around?
Is a scammer that does his or her thing in game and leaves it all in game worse than someone who hops on Reddit or EVEnews24 makes wild assertions and encourages other players to punch someone in the face if they ever see them?
My hope is simply to see the best of us come together and do something no other game can do. |

If you want to put everyone at ease, the solution is very very simple.
Have Chribba hold onto it.
I love Big Country and 'The Open Comms Show'.....But even I laughed when you announced on Tues. that you wanted BC to hold it.

If you want to touch base with BigCountry of The Open Comms Show I am fine with you holding the entry fees. If you are available that night I'd love to have you on board as one of the commentators. |

Proposal: Give money to a guy so he decides if you're worthy to get it 4,000x.
I'd rather take a chance with a raffle than trust anyone's honesty in judging who's the winner. But then, the person asking the money is someone who's known for being a liar...
WTF, dude.
Case A: "I've been a liar, but that was a lie, I am a honest guy so here have this generous final act!"
Case B: "I've ben a liar, and I was honest about it. So this is my biggest lie ever!"

You know Chribba would only sanction the ISKgrab. This still can be rigged so OP gets all the ISK. If you dont know how, you deserve to give him 500M.

Quote:Scooter announced his plan to give his total amassed fortune of over two trillion ISK (2,000,000,000,000 ISK and change) to the player that submits the best idea to help the Eve community as a whole. Quote:First and most important, the competition is open to anyone that is not in the Imperium. According to Scooter, this is both because the Imperium is getting its own parting gift, and because the Imperium already encourages development on its own.
Quote:Now when the most famous of Eve Online scammers asks for 500 million ISK, a healthy amount of skepticism is not only expected, but encouraged. To that end, Scooter has elected for BigCountry to receive and manage the ISK. If a pillar of the community holding the funds isnGÇÖt enough, Scooter had this to say: GÇ£If there is one thing EVE has taught me, no matter what you do, there will never be an GÇÿassuranceGÇÖ that is good enough. Either I go out doing something good for the community, or if that community is just to paranoid about this, I get a great laugh because of the irony.GÇ¥ |

No, it's not enough.
It doesn't matter if Chribba holds the funds, the game is still rigged.

Why aren't you using a neutral third party to hold all of the ISK, possibly even a panel of neutral judges and donating the 500m fees to PLEX for Good rather than have them line your pocket in the event of there being no winner. Why not just simply donate your wealth to PLEX for Good?
You've designed this in such a way that it looks exactly like a scam, and just like a scam you request that we trust you (because this time it's different, honest), when you have proven that you are not to be trusted. Redesign this so it doesn't look exactly like your previous scams and you might get some interest.

First and foremost its my isk. This is how I want to leave EVE and whatever the result I'm happy with it. Making you personally happy isn't what this is about. In a sporting arena there are two places to be: on the field or in the stands. |

Doc consider the following: I send you something and you post "Oh wow he isn't kidding." Someone would turn around and post that you are my alt or a goon alt. If your fellow EVE buddies came running to your defense saying you are who you are they would be called alt accounts or goon alts.
In fact right now someone reading this who can no longer tell the difference between a game and real life is thinking of posting "Doc is a goon alt shilling for Scooter so Scooter can write this response and try to meta game us all."
So on that note you are welcome to enter the contest if you have a great idea and I look forward to you and the other contestants coming on the Open Comms Show. |

Yeah, it'd be a funny turn of events if this time you were really telling the truth and fully intended to be completely honest in this endeavour.
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.

There is a need to post.
People, don't listen to him. He's dishonest and an ass. Just look at the crap he writes. Everyone who believes he's a scammer and how this is just one more scam suddenly is disconnected from reality, when this guy never ever was anything else but a scammer and a goon.
1. They want your ideas, will attempt to implement them and will brag about it.
2. This is about control, not helping the game.
3. You have no guarantee you'll get the money. (anyone not Chribba simply isn't fully trustworthy)
4. He's a goon. Why aren't imperium members allowed to participate? Because goons don't scam goons.
Let the baka from reddit participate.
Two trillion isk are a guaranteed burnout in the hand of these imbeciles.
Anyone who believes this person is legit ...
... ignoring his past history ...
... is definitely disconnected from reality.
Don't give them your ideas, you will regret it.
