o.O
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.

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.
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. 
Now to find some P.B.C. content to retweet...
