The fearless mercenary Kaydee Rashyo is several hours away from entering uncharted territory by biomassing themselves for the Dust Challenge Lottery, all in the spirit of entertainment value.
Biomass Value of SP: Tier 4m sp pays 8 tickets Blueprints: -Dragonfly Scout [nSv] - 6 tickets -Toxin SMG - 6 tickets -Exile AR - 20 tickets Total = 32 Your Level Commission with BPOs: (BPO Value) * 0.4 = 12.8 (13 Tickets) Total War Points 28,504 WP * .0001 = 2.8 (3 TIckets) ISK and AUR Destoryed (8,760,000 ISK * 0.000001) + (0 Purchased AUR * 0.004) = 8.76 (9 Tickets) Forum Warrior 29 Likes 20 Total Posts 0 Threads Created 9,572 Characters Typed .29+.20+0+0.0009572 = 0.4909572 (1 Ticket) Forerunner Bonus 20 Tickets
Total Clone Termination Value 86 Tickets
For this sacrifice, I am instituting what is called the bonus round benefit (brb). Similar to heavenly cookies in cookie clicker, you will receive a bonus to earning rewards when resetting your account at various tiers.
Logistics: I am structuring the payout to reward diminishing multiplier bonuses per SP tiers (see payout structure below). This multiplier will be applied to the character you deem as your beneficiary prior to Biomass (it does not necessarily need to be you). Multipliers will be publicly viewable in the Google Document Participant Ledger. This multiplier count will only apply toward tickets earned via player challenges on the Big Shot Bounty Board.
Biomass Payout and Multiplier
(1, 2, 4) [ Levels 1-3 1.7x Multiplier (8, 12, 16) [ Levels 4-6 3x Multipler (24, 32, 40) [ Levels 7-9 2.9X Multiplier (56, 72, 88) [Levels 10-12 2.7x Multiplier (120, 152, 184) [ Levels 13-15 2.5x Multiplier (248, 312, 376) [ Levels 16-18 2.3x Multipler (504, 632, 760) [ Levels 19-21 1.9x Multipler (1016, 1272, 1528) [ Levels 22-24 1.7x Multiplier (2040, 2552, 3064) [ Levels 25-27 1.5x Multiplier (4088, 5112, 6136) [ Levels 28-30 1.3x Multipler (8184, 10232, 12280) [ Levels 31-33 1.1x Multipler (16376, 20472, 24568) [ Levels 34-35 1.1x (32760, 40952, 49144) [ Levels 36-38 1.1x (65528, 81912, 98296) [ Levels 39-41 1.1x and so on.

Please take a moment to read Jester's blog on Erotica1GÇÖs Bonus Round. It is a very well presented analysis on a practice of psychological torture for entertainment through the pressure of greed.
Personally, it was both difficult and intriguing to listen to the audio clip as the individuals orchestrating the scam pushed a man to his breaking point by inducing stress and antagonizing in the manner that was done. While what Erotica1 and his goons did was unethical and reprehensible in taking griefing beyond the bounds of the game (which can further be argued upon to whether this should even be a facet of Eve Online), a sobering moment came for me with the reflection that in the name of my social experiments and games I find actual enjoyment tinkering with similar facets of human psychology. As a scholar of media ecology, I have devoted myself to understanding and exploring the fluid nature of social interaction. The petri dish, this game world mediated by CCP and grown by players is a deeply fascinating environment to explore from a scholarly perspective. In terms of player interaction, the tools in EVE and Dust empower players to explore possibilities of a deep social world; this may enter the realm of psychopathy and aggression. It understandable how these facets can meld into a personGÇÖs offline life, as the mindshare you hold with others, including the general culture of an environment can subtly change an individual. Change is neither good nor bad, but is judged as such by the social codes of a time and place of people.
A question still lingers. Where will this, the Dust Challenge Lottery, a psychological game of greed end up? Will I follow the path of Erotica1 and be GÇ£that guy on the internet,GÇ¥ a sadist, purely deriving pleasure from otherGÇÖs pain. Or will I follow through on my promises in order to establish credibility within the community...maybe for another future con--in the GÇÿbonus round.GÇÖ

And to think, the process of this kind of data collection may be used by marketers to process a person's social media photos in order to determine the brand of cellphone you are using in order to advertise particular apps and services related to your Motorola.

Because, obviously, I intend to black mail you! Well, since you bring up torture (word of warning: every one of these links is either truly cringe worthy stuff, in the case of the Gallente, or pure nightmare fuel that will stick with you, such as the Caldari. Take this seriously): MinmatarGallenteCaldariAmarr ....yeah... Skype works...or direct twitter messages...or Enjin. I'll message you the Skype details on your WarRavens enjin board.

Well Jadek, after sleeping on it, I'd like all of Kaydee Rashyos tickets assigned to Disturbingly Bored. I briefly toyed with the idea of naming you as my beneficiary for the Bonus Round. But I figured there'd be a chance you might actually do it, and then you'd be in the lead of your own lottery. And we'd lose a familiar twisted name on the forum. And I suspect you and Ridgeson are cooking up something sinister anyway... I can only hope this whole affair will start a wave of merc suicides, and that someone else will step up for the bonus round soon enough. While I appreciate your penchant for subversion I would not be able to accept the title of bonus round beneficiary...nor these other characters--ancillary accounts that have some semblance of forum activity and not simply clones I am growing.

As for cooking up something with the lottery alongside Joseph Ridgeson...you know how things turned out with Evolution-7. Lolz indeed.

The actual event will be documented via recording.
If recording is not available (Due to certain individuals not appearing) then it will be documented via photographs.
Do you hold interest in gathering my ISK? Send me a message in game.

Good riddance ya' whiney turds. Attim and QQers, what have done?!?!
Hidden brother I would message you in game but I am unsure if I would be able to walk over to the PS Bang until tomorrow. The Dust Challenge lottery would appreciate your ISK either as a direct donation or as part of an isk transfer challenge.

Please name a benefciary to your biomass worth before hand or with a new character which uploads the footage. Your death could help a new enterprising player.
