From the OP - The top prizes are claimed, but don't give up hope yet. For anyone on the list of entrants that successfully secures the antidote I will reward you with 200 million influence. There is plenty of time left. Good luck!

Having 10+ people efforting solo, with no help & coming up empty, then having the 3 people that teamed claimed the top 3 prizes is a little much. But thats just my opinion.

One of the clues suggested getting help, at least how i read it.

As it stands now there is still a very good prize up for grabs for everyone else who completes the antidote part of this contest. The 200 million offer is per person, not 1 prize. Simply put, if you successfully complete it you will win 200 million guaranteed.
I hope this seems fair enough for those who may have been unknowingly handicapped.
... yeah, solo'd it.

I'm a little confused as to some of the emotions flying around now. May it be anger/bitterness or what have you. I'm on both of those teams of the 'ineligible' winning people. Unfortunately there were some things quite a few people were not clear on when we started this and it was not made clear until after we had all run it together the first time. If you listen to the "Needle" clue it says "2 people are needed". A couple of us were under the impression that it meant 2 people on a team, no where in any instructions does it say "Intended to be played solo or No teams" hence why some of us teamed up. So AFTER we all ran it the first time together it was made aware to us that only the 'team leader' could claim the prize. The first time we completed it, an ineligible person was team leader, so that screen-shots not even posted. Once we found out the rule Re: the team leader, we ran it again correctly. Also, none of the prizes are being split amongst the members on that team as far as I know. I am not sharing in any of the winnings from the two winners on my team.
Edit: Actually it wasn't under AFTER we completed it successfully the first time that we found out about the 'team leader', because we ran it and failed several times.

Congratulations Allastor Darkflame. You have claimed a 200 million influence prize and secured for yourself an antidote.

I had zero to possibly gain from this contest. None. Look back at my first day submission at the top and you'll see I purposfully rendered myself ineligible.
However, I, as others, know of a lot of people who were trying to this in the spirit of the contest and were soloing it.
Should Cai have said teams were illegal? Yeah...but then the same people who were doing it now would have easily gotten around that.
Know your facts before you act as if you know me.
And also, why am I am interested in this? 'cause I'd hate for the Tempest Legion et al to have ruined this for the other people who were soloing it, which then maybe leads to there not being any future events.

Cai, I am not refuting your efforts and generosity. Nor am I insulting anyone. This is your "baby" and by all means, please run it the way you see fit. If the way you intended this game to run is around the the specific time sets you provided, then nothing can be done and I understand that. However, my thought would be to freeze the sign up period as intended, and those that made the sign up run this next sunday at 12n EST with a balanced ruleset. Maybe the toxin takes 1 week and 48 hours to do its dirty deed and gives the "player" time to contemplate their existance...idk. |

The disparity widens when the glowies themselves are 2 minutes or so (a guess), and there is ecorting involved. A competent team of 5 can have 4 people clicking glowies and 1 escorting. Thats a severe handicap for a soloist IMO.
My intent isnt to disparage anyone. Like I said, it was a mere oversight. If the "game" cannot be started again next week, so be it.

This is the first time I've posted about it, thank you much, and I will continue to do so as I see fit.
And again, it was never said to us that they WEREN'T needed or COULDN'T be done, just that ONLY the team leader could post.
It was never 'zomgyouteamedyouwilldienaosplitupanddoitover'
But I will say Cai, it was alot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed running it and cussing you lots!
Great job on the creativity and challenge. Thanks
Alright. From all that I have seen in the last posts of this threat, it would appear that, if further contests are to be made, it is imperative that Cai includes a set of strict rules. I'm sorry Cai, but much like the people that actually tried and solo it, I don't feel satisfaction of actually completing it. It is not rewarding at all, and almost feel like the winners "cheated". Don't get me wrong, I congratulate you guys for solving it, but it just doesn't feel like it's fair, and I am certain I am not the only one.
Just a thought and something to think about. Say what you want.

Things are fine the way they went. It was too late into the design process when I realized that it would be a good idea to state in the rules that this be done solo. In the future I would purposefully build in a way to handicap teams and reward solo play before making such a rule that, ultimately, is impossible for me to enforce.|

All in all what I really hope is that people had fun today. I will continue to monitor this thread and payout to the winners accordingly.
And don't worry I didn't take anything you said as disparaging or an insult.
Wow this one was uber hard. But this was really fun and challenging. I also misinterpreted the one clue but when i realized i was wrong i started over solo. Gratz to all the winners and to Cai you out did yourself on this one. I really both was frustrated and enjoyed this and completed it just for prides sake lol. When is the next one!
