Ideas for getting VIP players to help you:


1. Write them a sonnet (preferably in iambic pentameter) singing their praises and extolling their virtues


2. Create artwork for their profile (drawing, painting, macaroni collage, declaration of devotion scrawled in what looks like human blood)


3. Offer to start a petition to have them named Ruler of Awesome Town (or any such title and location)


4. Find a way to actually grant them a title in RL (I hear you can become a reverend just by signing up with an email address)


5. Share with them your tragic backstory and how winning this contest will give their life both meaning and fulfillment after years of suffering

Wait what? Why are we encouraging new players to be bountied?

Edit: We're just trying to have some fun with people - not actively trying to get anyone bountied. I'm sorry if that's the way you're taking it.



LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET BOUNTIED FROM THE CONTEST, PLS!
jack_anarchist [2064267] · #216

Donatorzzz should be held separatly from those who dont use DP.

That way will be fair. sick with their armalite rifles when only 14 days old, not mention of f.king PI's with whores.


Actuariolam [1967959] · #217

Sorry man, we thought it would be a cute idea as a way for new players to meet and connect with some older VIPs since the contest gives them a reason to reach out. I know I was super intimidated by talking to anyone well-known or "famous" when I started out, and having a reason to start a conversation can make that much less intimidating. There was no ill-will intended.

If anyone is annoyed by it I'll apologize personally
