Here are the rules:

1) You enter the competition by depositing any number of geos into the Quorg account.

2) Whoever makes the LARGEST SINGLE DEPOSIT by the end of the contest gets 1/2 of the entire pot. All deposits must be remarked "CONTEST".

3) Nobody in my alliance or recently in my alliance is allowed to play.

4) I will post the total number of geos entered into the contest once a day until its conclusion. I will absolutely NOT disclose how much the largest deposit was, until the end of the competition.

5) This competition will end at 11 PM, 21 Oct. 2006 (PST).

5) I know that I am not a donator. I have, however, owned the same city for long enough for you all to trust that I can hold on to it for another week. :) Should I lose the city, then the contest is simply postponed until I get another.

6) And attacking me at any time during the contest automatically disqualifies you. Duh.

Any questions can be pmed or posted below.

Say I give you 500k and I'm the only person to enter. I get 250k back - you pocket the other 250k.

- Yes, of course the other half gets pocketed for... organizational expenses. ;woop

- As stated above, if I lose my city, you will not lose your geos. The contest will simply be postponed until I get another. Considering that I have had this same city for about 60 days now, though, it's unlikely that I will give it up now (I am probably making more from bonds than I will through this game, so it would be stupid of me to try to rip you off this way).

- You would have to be an idiot to give 500,000 geos for this game! But if I only recieve one entry, then all your geos + 100 will be refunded for playing along. So what do you have to lose now?

Current pot: 0 geos, 0 players

So basically this is just a way of making money for you, and you really expect people to give you the money! ;smoking

Wow thats some organisational costs!!!

Ok so you have probably just put a target on your city from those 2 comments there, so you will quite possibly lose both the city and the bonds

- You would have to be an idiot to give 500,000 geos for this game! But if I only recieve one entry, then all your geos + 100 will be refunded for playing along. So what do you have to lose now?

Current pot: 0 geos, 0 players

I honestly think that seeing as you have had no responses to this game asking to play, I suggest it is a no goer!!!

Just some advice Quorg, put some into the pot from your own money so players wont have the daunting task of being first, not that you can win, just have the starting pot be 1000 or something

As someone once said- BRING IT ON!!! :shoot

I would love to see someone waste enough geos to take that city- and keep it as long as I did. That in and of itself would be a great form of entertainment for me.

And it's definitely not cool to copy this competition. 'nuff said.

G42: I already have my first entry.

It's postponed until The Coalition has been zeroed. I will NOT spend the geos given for the contest, and will keep track of all entries made so far.

I guess you are going to get your entertainment.

Considering that you've already spent well over 85,000 troops defending a city worth 15k, it actually is entertaining.

Have fun with your city screen lit up with beautiful shades of red and green for a long time to come.

The Contest is over! The winner sent in 500 geos.

Because of the delay, I will give him 100% of the pot instead of just 50%.

The total: 511.34 geos.

Congratulations.
