[MS] Rags to Riches
Hosted by the Market Squids!
Art by Yiazmat
Think you're a top-tier marketeer? Then put your money where your mouth is and battle it out in the economy to earn the most TC. Can you go from Rags to Riches?
Each contestant will receive an account with 20,000 Qi (So you can buy any item you need), and you are to use this account to do your marketing. It will have a special character at the beginning of the username to hinder the account from going ingame. This account will be permabanned after the event is over. You will have 5k to start with (provided by you as an entry fee). From there, you will use this alternate account to buy and sell items in order to gain TC.
To enter the event, just post saying here saying "Sent the 5k" or something of that nature and send 5,000 TC to "Marketeers".
1. You may not receive any TC from any other form of monetary gain other than selling items (this includes asking people to give you huge discounts on items due to the event).
2. You may not market using textures (art), as this would be much too difficult to keep track of.
3. All transactions must be done through either SafeTrade or through the market (you cannot send TC directly or receive an item directly to or from users).
4. If you receive 3 infractions on your alternate account, you will be disqualified from the event and the TC you gained will be taken.
5. You cannot use PayPal or any other way of transferring real life money to gain TC or items.

The 1st place marketeer will receive a collectible item (it's a secret for now), a special achievement, 5 Shiai Tokens, and you will be able to keep your special account.
The 2nd place marketeer will receive a special achievement and 3 Shiai Tokens.
The 3rd place marketeer will receive 1 Shiai token.
The top 5 marketeers will receive a TC prize determined by how well they did compared to everyone else and how many people participated.
Equation for the top 5 marketeers' prizes
All members below the top 5 will be able to keep the TC (and items, given the qi required for the items is equal to or lower than the qi of your main account) they made and send it to their main account after the event is over.
The event will start on May 20th and end on June 20th.
Entries will no longer be accepted 24 hours before the event starts. Midnight on the 19th (0 GMT)
If you have any questions, PM a market squid.

Thanks for answering Yiazmat and thanks for confirming Soap..
Also, I'm full of questions, with the 20k QI account, would it be for example '*Butler153' the asterix being the special prefix that doesn't allow you to go in-game or will it be something that you guys make. If it's custom I'd like mine to be Butler with that tag thing

Please, guys, only confirm here that you sent the entry fee, if you really send it. You will not participate if you do not send the fee.
We are checking the transaction histories and the members who don't send the 5k won't be able to enter this event.
The next user lying about TC payment will receive an infraction for ignoring rules. Please don't try to trick the event hosters - it is not going to work and will only get you in trouble.
