OK. As I said simialr to Geocaching, but maybe some small differences.
We start with a set number of coins, this number NEVER changes. I'd say we would need at least 5 to 10 coins, maybe more.
Each coin should be approximately the same curent worth, say $2 each. Depending on how many coins we decide to start with, we might have to ask for single coin contributions from a number of people to get it started.
All the coins are sent to 1 person (Player 1) to get the contest under way. A list is kept of all the coins sent and the list is posted in the first post of Round 1 of the new contest by Player 1 who would be a volunteer and initially doesn't get to keep any coins, but can enter round 2 and subsequent rounds until they secure a win.
We decide on how many entrants will be allowed per round, say just as
an example we choose 10.
This will give more people a chance to be the winner. Once we have 10 entrants, round 1 is closed, a winner, Player 2, is drawn from the 10 entrants by Player 1, the coins are posted off to Player 2, who can choose say 1 to 3 of the coins, but Player 2
must replace those coins with another 1 to 3 coins of equal current worth.
Player 2 then re-does the list, posts it in a new thread so it's evident to all what coins have been removed & what the new coins on the list are. And it just keeps going on from there....
We would need to wait until a few rounds have finished before we decide on any limitations on previous
winners becoming eligible to
enter again. The 9 non winners from each round are eligible to keep entering following rounds until they become winners.
If no one is very interested, the whole thing could fall flat on it's face.
Please feel free to make any suggestions to alter or improve on this idea.
A new contest title would be a good place to start.
All
are welcome!
