He he, I hope Jordan won't take this as "I want more" but I think there should be some more serious prize if this battle is going to be wider than just few of us. Therefore I am openly asking, what would you want to get as a reward?

Perhaps if we all give some suggestions, Jordan will or will not accept it, and add a nice reward to the pool. ;)

I will add my suggestion later on, need to think about it more because I won't give more than one. So what would you want to win?

I don't think there will be a prize, issued from me, for this battle. Without being on the judging panel I may compete, and I can't compete for my own prize can I?

Well, yes you can Jordan. Just say what you would want. If the participants will agree then why not? It is an open debate after all... And if you win you can override the choice. :D

Besides, my point is that if there is no real reward, I may or will quit the contest. Sorry to say this in such straight way, but this is how it is. :(

As I stated above, I'm not issuing a prize without being a judge. If your only motivation to compete was the prize, I'm sorry.

Heh, I think it would have to be within $20 or $30, MathXpert. Not to mention Jordan declined to add a prize, and to judge. (sniff)

I had an idea but it may not work. Why don't all of the contestants throw in $5 or $1 or some amount into a pot. At the end of the contest the winner will get it all.

Wouldnt that go into some sort of gambling laws?


Oh and uh... Sims 3? :D

It isn't gambling when you are using a skill instead of luck. Call it an "entry" fee or whatever you like.

So it really depends on how many people are entering that decides what the prize is. Maybe it should just be a cash prize that way were not aiming at getting x users in but cut a deadline after x days?
