Yeah! Screw Droughtman's this year, that's a super lame prize for $25.

So pay me to win for you. Here's how it works:

You bid on the right to hand me your uber item before I run in the maze:

MB: 1m. CB: CLOSED

- If I don't win my first round, you pay me nothing, not even that bid right up there that you just bid on.

- If I do win my first round, then you owe me whatever that winning bid is, regardless of whether I win the grand prize.

- If I win the grand prize (quoted below) and your item is serviced heartily by Sirina's own hand, you pay me that winning bid, plus 35m.

- Edited to add: I will only be running 1 account in the entirety of this DM tournament, so you will not be competing against other "me's" in any round.

Here's my qualifications: I won 5 out of the 10 DM runs that I played last summer. That's it.

Here's the prize, from the DM info page:


The grand prize winner of the finals will receive their choice of adding enchanting, weighting, or padding to an item they already own! (Enchant of 2 levels on an item 6x or below or 1 level on an item 7x or above up to a maximum of 10x, weighting/padding of either "heavy" level on an unweighted/unpadded item OR increasing existing weighting/padding by a flat amount to a maximum of "exceptional"

Some copy/paste from someone that asked me to explain why this is worth it:

There are two rounds of DM this year: 10 initial games, and then one final game composed of the 10 winners from the previous rounds. I believe, based on how I did last year, that I am very good at winning Droughtman's.

If you have an item that is well-suited to being modified with the grand prize, but don't want to spend $25 on a slim chance to win the grand prize, my MB is much less than $25, and I have a better chance of winning than you. As this is only two rounds, people will have problems writing new scripts, and if the people that had great scripts last summer either don't play GS anymore, or aren't interested in this prize, then your pool of scripting (good) players goes further down.

And any way, you don't pay me anything unless I give you a chance at the grand prize, and you only pay for the grand prize service if I win it. It's not like I'm making some ridiculous bank off of you or anything, to make anything off of the deal I still have to win at least one round of DM.

Your buyout of 73 black market Peter Dinklage nudes is officially REJECTED.


how do you guarantee winning?

Read post--no guarantee of win. In fact, if I don't win my first round, you pay me nothing.

HIGH on giving you a RISK FREE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN.

Plus I'm going to play DM no matter what cause why the hell do I have all these sweet scripts on my computer if not? And although I have some items that would work with the prize, I don't have an item that would work RIDICULOUSLY well, but I know there are those out there that wouldn't mind bumping their padding or weighting up a few notches.

You'd basically be paying for an alteration or better.

If my average silver pulled from the runs last year is any indication the $25 would be easily paid through silvers alone.

Let me send you the updated version Jay. It totally won't ruin the versions I already gave you.

It's no different than winning a service from a merchant spinner and selling it to someone else. I'm just doing it in advance so I have something that helps me care about winning.

Out of curiosity, why would the scripts of last year work on this years. Just a reason I would be skeptical is all, not doubting your skill.

would you sell the script so i can win?

I'm selling my spot to the game in a way that offers someone a chance to only pay if they get a shot at the big prize, at which point, I will use all of my experience and tools to try to win. I have nothing to use that even comes close to guaranteeing I win and I don't think such a thing exists (unless Tep invented it).
