GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
----------------------------------------------

I think it isn't right that the richest players earn millions easily but it's hard when you're just starting to earn even a bit.
I am not the richest player but I've benefited from the kindness of the following people when I went broke four times in three months: mywo mahz grumpy sera geo sis kickass Nash doh etc in no specific order.
I will give cash as I see fit. Don't abuse this and ask for 500m to buy dual axes.
Don't mail or spam me.
Competition ends on 3 July
Answer the following questjons:
1. How much do you need and why
2. Once my cash gift runs out do you have a plan to earn cash and how.
3. One way you've helped someone in torn recently. Or group of people.
4. One way you've helped someone or people in your real life. (OPTIONAL***)

Best of luck.

I will give away as I see fit and post results here to be accountable to all.

People with 10 times my networth are more than welcome to help people with genuine needs.

As I said. I can use this 1b to sit on cnc or wlt pixels or make a genuine difference to people who need a helping hand.

Cheers all I sound tired because I am. Stressed from nearly missing my flight. Think I've made it though!

One post per person thanks!

Thanks to those who contributed to the giveaway:
Had 15bn when I started this giveaway...have run into a bit of a cash-flow problem recently, so thanks for the following friends who have backed me up, so the giveaway can still go on!! Hugs.

For people

Hellbeboy - 100m
Geo - 100m
Uriah - 2 dps
Nash - 250m
OSA - 50m

Winners: Sorry I could not help more people due to lack of funds. I will do one more when I hit 30bn Networth :)

I will send out cash at random times, and tomorrow, post here about who got what.

Winners are NOT disclosed now for OBVIOUS, non-mugging reasons.

1.05bn has been fully given out.

Thanks to all for participation...I know a lot of you were hoping for a lot more than what I did give out...but this was the best that I could do.

I tried my best to be impartial, please don't get discouraged if you didn't get anything!

I will post the list of winners here tomorrow to remain accountable to the community, but as I said...I can't do it now in case they get mugged.

Have fun all!

1) it was me.
2) I dont care about losing a big rr match. I've played over 400bn worth of rr, a 200m game isn't anything worth being angry/sad/delighted over.
3) i simply asked: do you want a rematch? yes/no answer.
4) you said yes let's do a rematch but send me a med kit (you were in hosp from the mugging)
5) I send a med kit, and you proceed to set up a 2m match
6) There are 3 options here:
- Either you are trying to accumulate a lose streak before you play another 200m match, which is both pointless, and annoying, and a waste of my time.
- You were not keen on a 240m rematch, and you lied to me
- You viewed a 2m game as a rematch, which is either a joke in poor taste or something along those lines.
7) I ask you courteously if we are doing a rematch or not, to which you then ignore me.
8) At this point, just say "no, i dont want to do a big game anymore", and that's the end of the story
9) You ignore me even more, FURTHER wasting my time, and eventually say "i dont want to do a big game, because I don't want to be mugged again."
10) I kindly, and courteously explain the idea of mug protection to you.
11) You then proceed to ignore me completely, wasting my time AGAIN, as if the sending of a med kit over a lie, checking over the rematch, and preparing for it, didn't waste my time enough already
12) Now I need to clear my name in this forums, which further wastes my time.

The people I hate most in Torn are people who lie, and those who waste my time. You fell into both categories, so enjoy the bounties for a long while.

At any time, a "ah..thanks for the explanation about muggings" or "i dont really want to do a rematch" would have sufficed, but no, you needed to be an idiot about it and say 'sure' to a rematch that never takes place, AND completely ignore me.

TLDR: enjoy the rain of bounties, I'm going to put up 10 a day until I decide that it's not worth my time.

1) You have acted like a troll ever since you made me send you a first aid kit for nothing
2) I have received reports that you have been bountying the lower levelled players that have claimed my bounties on you. If you hate bounties, why bounty those people? They're not doing anything wrong, and if anything, those bounties will be claimed by someone at some point.
3) You have changed your name to a 'troll' name that just shows that you're someone that is a troll, unable to be a man and face up to responsibility and a coward
4) no apology from you and you are bountying me back
5) im still pissed that you created a thread and lied about me. Thank goodness the community is able to judge for themselves.

I absolutely hate people who whine and lie about other players bullying them, and do precisely that to other players. I don't like bullies, I don't like trolls, I don't like liars, and I don't like hypocrites.

Guess what? You're all of the above.

To OP: You're utterly screwed now, and just in case you try to restart, you've annoyed me so much that I will track that account down, and hunt it down as well.

As a rule of thumb, when I was a new player, I tried to avoid pissing off any player with a substantial networth, because for them to spend 10m/day on making my life hell was just petty cash to them.

The way you structured your post suggests you are

1) immature
2) clueless
3) quite arrogant
4) quite mean
5) not very likeable
6) entitled
7) not very intelligent

I gave you bounties for the above 7 reasons. You do realize a few others have downvoted my thread but I don't bounty them either.

Anyway, you got bounties for acting like a d*ck. Has nothing to do with this thread.

Just too busy with real life, though Torn's been a good ride.

Doing one last game with the 4.5bn I have after giving away most of my NW.

Will donate the 9bn to my faction if I win.

Pm me if you're up for a 9bn pot.

let's just check with HUZ :D He's already paying for 1 of my sigs, so it's up to him for #7 whether he picks up my tab. Im not too good with words at 1am haha didnt fully get what he meant.

sorry Trina, I really like that sig as well...if it was sig I liked slightly less (such as 8), I would have let you have it!

I know haha, which means I get the sig but generous HUZ pays for it :)

my second post was (43m), but the first one (42m) was just before 0000
