$100,000 Reward to whomever is able to remove the Sword from the Stone in DarkWood Village.

All we ask is a $100 donation to DarkWood per attempt.

- Dark Elder Ama Omega

Notes: This is a random chance contest. There is a 1 in 2,000 random chance each drawing of pulling the sword free. It will be quite obvious if you win, at least partially because the sword will no longer be in the stone. All proceeds will be used towards the purchase and maintenance of the remainder of the DarkWood sim.

In the event that the sword is drawn when I do not have $100,000, my assets in game will be liquidated and all money (not to exceed $100,000) will be given to the winner minus $5,000 in re-starting money.

Support DarkWood for your chance at winning $100,000.

Tricking the winner into being the King would be a good way to keep the money in the sim, lol...

Well so much for impossible odds.

Rathe Underthorn has pulled the sword free! And he did it within 6 hours of my announcement.

He has requested I keep the $100,000 for darkwood! On the condition I keep the sword unique.

The stone will remain a permanant feature of the DarkWood plaza and the sign in front will be replaced with one announcing Rathe Underthorn's valor and donation.

I am working on a similar contest now, although different to honor Rathe's request that the sword be unique.

Haha wow. And here I was thinking that that contest sounds like a good idea, until someone wins it right away.

Heh I was thinking about a contest a while ago where you enter by paying 100 dollars, and getting your AV's key recorded. The more times you get it recorded the more entries ya got. Then, when the deadline's over, a key is randomly selected, and you click to see if you have the winning key. It's kind of like a "Chosen One" contest. Anywho, never got around to DOING the damn thing, but maybe you could?

How about pay $100 to have your key recorded or pay $50 to choose someone and have their key removed

Ha ha! Silly Rathe. He was like a man possessed, trying to get that danged sword out. I'm like "Rathe, there's a sword shop across the street." But he says, "I want that one!" silly boy.

The problem I have run into with similar ideas - trying to do a fully automated lottery script - is that any 1 script can only hold a list of about 400 integers, less for keys I think.
