Batallion Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) [size="4"]From the maker of the [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=25586&st=0&p=672745&hl=UEFA&#entry672745"]UEFA Soccer Euro Cup competition[/url] of 48 million dollars winnings in June 2008 I present to you...[/size] [center][img]http://coda.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/2010_logo_large.jpg[/img][/center] [size="7"][center][b]FIFA 2010 World Cup Competition[/b][/size] [center][img]http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3390/acti.png[/img][/center] [size="5"][b]Brought to you by: AcTi [i](The next best alliance in CN)[/i][/b][/center][/size] [u][b]RULES:[/b][/u] 1. You must be capable of paying 200 tech to enter the competition. Rule 2 may cover for this. 2. You may have others pay your debts for you. For example, pay a smaller nation 3 mill and they'll ship 100 tech to the winner in the form of a tech deal. Do it twice for the 200 tech if that case occurs. 3. No more than 4 rulers may choose the same FIFA nation. 4. No more than 2 rulers from a single alliance may choose the same FIFA nation. 5. You may swap tech for cash at the rate of 3 mill/100 tech, but only if the winner requests it. 6. You must not be on any Target (ZI, PZI, etc.) lists during payout time, else face forced withdrawal. 7. Losing nations must pay their tech within a reasonable amount of time set by the winner (minimum of 26 days before a breach of the rules is considered). 8. Alliances under surrender terms are free to partake in this competition so long as they are not barred explicitly from sending tech/cash to outside alliances (or receiving them). 9. You may not enter the competition after it has begun, nor can you withdraw from it AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON after the first game has begun. 10. Should your nation delete then you have lost your winnings and they will be distributed among remaining winners, or you will no longer be entitled to pay the 100 or 200 tech you owe. 11. You are free to distribute your winnings to whoever you want. 12. You may enter at most three times for three different nations. The distribution requirements are that one nation must be expected and the other two unexpected. Example: Italy (Expected), Ghana (Unexpected), Chile (Unexpected) is an admissible distribution. Do note that entering more than once would also require you to pay up that much tech as well should all 3 of those nations lose. For the above example, if an expected nations wins you would owe Italy (100) + Chile (100) + Ghana (100) = 300 tech. However, if an unexpected nations wins, you'd owe 600 tech. [b][u]WINNINGS:[/u][/b] 1. Should an expected nation win the world cup, your winnings will be at most 3,000 tech. 2. Should an unexpected nation win the world cup, your winnings will be at most 6,000 tech. 3. Above refers to the fact that you will pay 100 tech to the winner if an expected nation wins, and 200 tech to the winner if an unexpected nation wins. [b][u]COMPUTATION OF WINNINGS:[/u][/b] The computation is as follows: First, suppose an expected nation has won the world cup. That is, every loser in the competition will owe 100 tech. At most there are exactly 30 * 4 losers, or 120 losers. Then 120 * 100 is 12,000, but there are at most 4 winners, meaning that each winner receives 12,000/4 = 3,000 tech. That is actually the maximum winnings, but note that there may be less people involved so the winnings goes down with it. In general: Expected nation victory => Number of Losers * 100 / Number of Winners Unexpected nation victory => Number of Losers * 200 / Number of Winners [b] [size="7"]TOTAL POT: 4400 TECH[/size][/b] Everytime your name is listed below, that means you owe 100 tech, since an expected nation (Spain) won the FIFA world cup.

Batallion Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Well, since I made the competition I get first pick. Start choosing now guys before all the slots are taken! Ahhh!! I agree that I will be known as an unalligned nation upon entering this competition. This means that Batallion is fully authorized to use military force if necessary should I refuse to pay my debts. I agree to follow all the rules stated above and by no means will I attempt to try and loophole through a trivial set of rules. I understand that I may be charged for a maximum of 200 tech (or 12 million) according to the Winnings above. My Nation Name: Offensive Doctrine My Nation Ruler: Batallion My Alliance: AcTi Link To My Nation: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=230429 FIFA Nation I Support: Germany Current Tech Level: 6,293.32 UPDATE: Added new rule that you can distribute your winnings, see newest rule for info. Also, like I said guys, if you have suggestions or problems with this contest, let me know and we can change it to better fit everyone's needs. Also made clear that loser only owes one nation, so you pay 50 tech packets to that nation until your debt is paid off.

jer Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Trivial things like: RULES: 1. You must be above 1,000 tech to enter the competition. That rules me out straight away, regardless of the fact that I could easily still pay any winnings owed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batallion Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Okay I've heard a lot of complaints about the tech requirements. I've therefore altered how much you need before you can enter. That is, you now need at minimum greater than or equal to 200 tech. I have also completely revised the Rules to be more fair as well as easier to read. Edited June 3, 2010 by Batallion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually the maximum winnings, but note that there may be less people involved so the winnings goes down with it. 3,000 tech itself is actually 10 cycles of 6 aid packets of 50 tech. Every cycle is 10 days long, so that's optimally about 100 days to receive 3,000 tech in full if one nation wants it, assuming they have foreign ministry and disaster relief agency, lol. That's kind of why it's called "Eternal Tech" competition, but I doubt you'd even want to horde up that much tech for yourself... I edited the requirements rule again. I noticed some nations have high infras. but almost no tech, so that means they can easily buy 50 tech packets every 10 days. Hence, I changed the rule from owning tech to being capable of buying the tech. Edited June 3, 2010 by Batallion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
