[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.

This should be an interesting event, wish I would've noticed it before it was too late...

You've sent 5000 TC to Marketeers.

So this should be fun

Entering the user 'Trocher3' into this event because he helped me with my Maths homework :3
Sending the 5k to Marketeers, please note I have already sent 5k for myself, if this is not allowed could you please refund me of the 5k for him. I'm pretty sure entering another user into the event should be allowed though..


So 10k is coming from me
5k for Butler153
5k for Trocher3
<Icky> Butler is the worst es
<Reta> can I fire him yet ?
Hey, I'd like to also join in on this event,

Are you the hat?

Pm me for deals
To be fairly honest I misread the OP, thought it was until midnight on the 20th that we could join in. If I'm too late, oh well. Hopefully not.

Okay, anyone who has sent the 5k before the time of this post is entered.

Anything sent after this post will not be sent back, so do not send anything to marketeers.

The event should start probably around 18 hours from now. I think we're just now starting on the accounts. We ask for your patience.
Kittykut,they are taking your existing account and adding a symbol to it, like $ or ^ or something of that sort.

Thank you very much Soap for being lenient on us that were late to send. I managed to get that 5k just in time (to be late), too :v

With an attitude like that, you wont perform to potential. Keep your head high and your hopes up, and you might even surprise yourself

This is your transaction history

This is "Marketeers"'s Transaction history


Uh, unless something's amiss, you haven't sent anything to "Marketeers", nor have you had 5k on this account. Apologies, but please don't try to falsify things when you haven't done them

:v
