I am sponsoring a contest, with Rob's permission, and the winner will get a free item from the Ville store.
The idea is simple. Kill FingerDemon. Kill me as many times during the week of the contest as you can. It is kind of like a game of "smear the queer" when you were in school. Although, in today's politically correct schools it's called "smear the individual with the alternative, albeit perfectly valid, lifestyle". The person with the best kill/death ratio against me at the end of the week is declared the winner. In the case of a tie, the player with the most flag caps will win. If that's tied, then the most sg kills. If that's tied.... well, you'll just have to mulch it out or something, cause there is only ONE prize!
I will purchase the item of the winner's choice from the Ville store and have it shipped to whatever mailing address they give me. Due to shipping costs, I am praying that neither Greebo (Scotland) nor Omega-Initiative (Australia) win the contest. Nothing personal, guys.
When I looked, the most expensive thing in the store was $22 and change. If the winner chooses something more expensive than that, I must agree to it first.
When I thought of this, I was a little concerned that this contest could affect teamplay. Then the TVB Hunt really made me concerned. So, I have decided that I will play incognito. This takes a little fun out of it, since you can't look for me directly. But just kill, cap and destroy as usual and you will be bound to kill me some of the time. A big part of this contest for me was, I don't want the admins or Rob to be bothered being referrees or anything. And I didn't want it to screw up gameplay for others who want no part of this contest. Only the stats will matter, unless I disqualify someone for doing something stupid. This weekend, I might change my name back to FingerDemon to give people a shot at me. Please don't violate theVille Rule #1 and find some way of ruining this contest. It is meant to be harmless fun that supports the Ville.
I can only try to play as regularly, during the week of the contest, as my pesky real life schedule permits. The contest will start on Monday morning 8:00AM central March 4, 2002. It will end officially March 10, 2002 11:59PM central, but in reality it ends whenever my wife makes me log off for the last time that week before the deadline. (If Rob resets the stats, which he might, then obviously its from then on til March 10.)
So in a few weeks someone will be wearing a trophy "Ooorgle" bucket hat, or sipping from a large Ville mug... will it be you? Do you have what it takes to kill FingerDemon? Well, sure I guess most of you have what it takes to kill me. But do you have what it takes to kill me MORE than everyone else?!?!?
We shall see.
The winner does have the right to pass on the gift and let the next person in line get it. If I have not heard from the winner in a week's time, they will forfeit and the prize will go to the next in line. If you have your own credit card (and it isn't maxed out hehe) you might consider letting the next person have it.
I want to thank Rob, for having these great servers, forums and community, as well as letting me have this contest.
So, sharpen your knives, clean your sniper rifles, and degauss your teslas, and let the killing commence!
<TVB>FingerDemon
P.S. It goes without saying that anyone who respawn camps me for extra kills is disqualified from the contest and will be reported for violating theVille rule #1.

Best KTD ratio? Is 4-1 (4:1) better than 27-9 (3:1)?
It's smart to go incognito, keeps the headhunters confused
Have fun getting fragged

BitterBeerFace,
Actually, I am using the stats to determine the winner. What I will do is this. I will pull up my own stats and select the kill list. Then I will select the Kill/Death ratio column. The person or persons at the bottom of that list are winning. If there are more than one with the same ratio, I will look to their stats for total flag caps and total sg kills. I hope that makes sense. I tried this out and I usually can determine a single winner. But then, not everybody was gunning for me then.

That's pretty much it DarkW. I was going to have it in the open with my regular name. But just like Whybkuul found out, despite the best intentions, this doesn't always have the desired outcome. I still wanted to have the contest, so I am hiding my name. There are no stats on the Grudge Server and I didn't want to keep track manually.
Sorry, if it seems lame. If anyone has better ideas about contests that don't require referees or taking over a server, don't disrupt regular gameplay and result in one winner, I'd love to hear it. Not that I have the cash to be doing this on a regular basis, but after thinking about this for a while, I'm curious what other ideas folks might have.
Roof had an idea about giving my opinion about who I thought best exemplified theVille character. But I'm not very good at judging subjective contests. The objectivity of the stats appeal to me. We don't want any double gold medals awarded like to those whining Canadians...
J/K They deserved it. I'm just looking to stir up trouble with JD and the other Great White Northerners. But then with the name change who are you gonna visit, JD?
