Hi all.
I want some discussions on a new game I would like to get some people involved in. We have seen a few people of late starting themselves at nothing to test their skills at turning rags into riches.
Now, in true CCP PvP spirit, let's make a competition of it. Let's give people some money and see what they can turn it into.
So, this is a discussion to try and wrinkle out the creases and work out the best terms and conditions to avoid/minimise cheating and the likes. Here are the current rules:
* EBANK will provide 10m to each entrant
* Market Wars dictates all wars are to take place in Jita 4-4 CNAP station
* All warriors should have under 1m SP in trade skills (screenshot req)
* Market Wars #1 will be a 24 hour war
* All winning results will have market orders verified by API
* Any ▐obvious fixing will result in disqualification from Market Wars
* No Player Trading or Player Donations can be accepted prior or during war.
* No prior to war assets can be used during the war
* All proceeds of the Market War are returned to EBANK in order to qualify as a Market War finalist/prize-winner
* Prizes will be awarded to the winners, amounts currently undecided.
▐ A vote will be held amongst the EBANK board of directors if there is a debate over a true prize-winner of a Market War
Discuss and let me know if you can think of changes etc we should look at. This is a planning stage so nothing beyond this thread has been mentioned.
Thanks for your time

Which day will it take place on? People work during the weekdays, and sometimes on Saturday and nearly weekly on Sunday Jita is either lagged or un-loginable.
No clue atm. I agree weekends can be a bit choppy but the day is one of the last things we need to organise

Since an API reveals wallet information for any character on the account, who will be using our API to verify?
EBANK will (or myself basically). I am happy to have a secondary ie Hexxx or one of the board to verify results as well. As Shar has said, a limited API may be all that is needed here. Nothing stopping someone running a trial account for the Market War either

How do you keep people from cheating using market orders? There are some clever people out there. :(
Agreed, but they won't get the warm fuzzy feeling in their stomach if they cheat. Plus they might get caught out. Plus, the more they cheat the lower their profit (winnings) as all earnt funds go to EBANK. We are probably sure to have cheats, but I won't hesitate to invalidate them or have the board vote if things look shady.

Yeh we will need the full API of the winner to verify market / journal etc transactions. A screenshot would be sufficient to verify the skillpoints as I don't expect someone's SP to have a huge affect on the outcome of Market Wars.

Yeh so restricting to trial accounts would likely result in less participation plus obviously wouldn't be workable due to the inability to do direct deposits prior/post change.

I'd even suggest having E-Bank create all the trials themselves to be sure everyone is actually on trials. Give the accounts out right as the competition starts.
But that's against the EULA. Is it possible to send a trial account isk?

Why this restriction?
I wouldn't call it the best place to trade. But it is easy to be able to audit purchases etc through one location rather than 50. Plus people trying to cheat run the risk of having the normal market kick their asses (ie set up a buy order for X units of Y, then quickly get market char to sell to this order at the risk of another player filling it before you can or vice versa)
