The time has come to unveil a new strategy in my community master plan. I am going award a treasure trove of tickets, 20514 tickets to be exact, to the corporation which shares the most amount of Dust 514 related content from my twitter page. This challenge is designed to enhances the reach and distribution of player created content from the initiative **P.rimetime B.roadcast C.loaks - The Invisible Fourth Estate!**
My twitter profile https://twitter.com/JadeKMenaheim
To reiterate, only 'shares' of Dust 514 related links, retweets of Dust 514 content producers, and video posts will be counted--nothing else.
Logistics -In your twitter account please list a player contact to which you wish your tickets to be applied from. For example, @NerEvEvar explains "Relevant ingame contacts: Shipstorm, Castor Crave." Now by looking at Dust Boards, I see that Castor Crave is currently a member of Orbital Flares, so I will apply what is called a corporation point toward this corporation.
-Every applicable player that hits the share button 1 Corporation Point will be applied toward the corporation to which they belong at the time of sharing the content. There is no cap on the number of items you may share as long as it is Dust 514 relevant. Again. There is no cap on the number of items you can share. The corporation with the highest number of corporation points for this specific challenge the week before the lottery is set to close receives 20514 tickets to one active player in that corporation (shown by active member lists on dustboard.com) of my discretion at the time this event closes. Please watch who you authorize membership to your corporation (I may have an alt character mole, for my lottery 'scam.')
-Corporation points are cataloged starting in cell O1 of the Dust Challenge Lottery Excel Ledger
-Additionally, the corporation must be at least 30 full days old at the time of video submission to qualify for corporation research point application. Yes, I'm going to make it a tad more difficult on you shell corp launders . Dustboard and other investigative methods will be utilized before authorization of ticket payment. You may still create shell corporation, however, there is a 'cooling off period.'

If you have good Dust 514 content to share with me via twitter I will gladly retweet it to keep the share and reply power push going.

20514 tickets is basically a win button in the context of the Dust Challenge Lottery....unless you Biomass a Character that holds either 35 million SP and above.

Well, I had a statistically significant chance of winning for about 12 hours there. I did it, and I'd do it again.

Jadek, I have a few thoughts on this.
First, DISCLAIMER: I have a vested interest in this Challenge changing, as it reduces my chances of winning from ~18% down to 1.3% as it's currently worded.
Now, here's why you should change the rules of this challenge.
With the way you've set it up, you are effectively making it the only challenge worth participating in. Making videos of dropships lugging tanks like sherpas, biomassing anything less than a main, coming up with a cool bigshot bounty: they are now all worth less than chihuahua vomit sizzling on an Arizona sidewalk.
Tickets are now only about tweets and shares to win, because whoever wins this challenge effectively wins the whole shebang.
By leaving the rules as they are, you are hampering your ability to compel people to do awful things for the sake of your morbid entertainment. Because it isn't worth a second of anyone's time to do anything but tweet.
And that's not fun. You are essentially running steep promotions without concern for your bottom line, which is a big marketing no no. You need to think in terms of reliable growth.
May I suggest giving people one ticket per share, but with some convoluted mathematical kicker that could effectively give them a 25% stake to win instead? That way people are still motivated to murder their alts and AWOX their corp and do other things that make DUST just as much a part of New Eden as any ****** thing that happens in EVE.
Something to think about.

@Disturbingly Bored
Valid point. I could be willing to cut the challenge payout down by as much as 50%, whilst keeping the 514--10514 tickets. Please hear me out on my initial reasoning for how this challenge was developed in tandem with **P.rimetime B.roadcast C.loaks - The Invisible Fifth Estate!**
That event awards 21984 tickets for being the highest content producer of filming challenges. The way in which the payout structures work is it becomes much more profitable beyond the twitter challenge. Additionally, film producers who work with player that holds high BRB modifier (you for instance with a 4x bonus to player payout) gain more tickets for their collusion in a film partnership. Regardless, at its foundation, content produces and content distributing agents can either duke it out on a mega corporation level or partner up via a ticket transfer protocol exchange to even the odds if ever comes a time that a high SP player decides to off themselves in favor of adding chaos to the game. As illustrated in the payout chart, a level 42 player could biomass themselves for a base value of 98296 tickets. If parties or a corporation involved in the filming and twitter challenges came together they would amass a base value of 42498 tickets, plus anything which the film makers themselves are willing to toss into the collective pot...giving them close to a 1 in 2 chance of winning. Not greats odds but good.
I am thinking big picture here.

Totally, and I am both sympathetic and excited to see what twisted machiavellian malarkey occurs in the future.
But answer me this:
Given the rules of this challenge as it is currently worded, is it possible for one lazy merc to tweet one post, and win all 20514 tickets? (Provided no one else on earth participates?)
I see an end to fun if the answer is yes.
(I would be glad to be misunderstanding something essential here.)

Yes...in a social media world that is how things work. Laziness unfortunately has some rewards. Mind you...please re-read this segment. I see fun contained within.

Or instead of choosing someone via my discretion I could and should set up a sub lottery for that winning corporation.

Very well, sir! I will set my conniving mind to maximizing my ticket value.
I am in a unique position of being absolutely sure there are no AWOXers in my corp (save the CEO), so I'll be looking into this.

As a reminder, corporation points do not count toward a NPC organization. Set up your resume today. Also, this means that Aeon Amadi does not win the Dust Challenge Lottery. He currently resides with Edimmu Warfighters.

I see Joseph Ridgeson has picked up on the idea nicely. Why not add some pictures to your profile? You'd make it look more legitimate.

Lorhak and Joseph, your vigilance in the tweet process is commendable. Eventually, you two may need to involve a process of escalation to avoid personal burnout. Enlist a corp-member.

Latest Twitter Interactions [See Shameless Promotion Tab]. I am beginning to feel like I am working for the NSA collecting all of this metadata. As a reminder to players, I award a point for your first reply to me in a conversation chain. Your tweet must include @JadeKMenaheim to count, I reserve the right not to count this if it is seen as a spam chain.
For example, in this reply stream both Reevira and Castor Crave were awarded only 1 point, by replying @JadeKMenaheim with a content response.
