Thats right, I needed all that upper case writing to put my point across! I've talked about this idea with Grub, and he likes it. Given the nature of this competition i thought i'd post it here, aswell as having the potential for a great deal of Fun, it could increase activity, infamy, and a deeper sense of society! If you arent yet on tenterhooks, prepare to be! and please post your comments at the adjournment of this description.
Thanks.

My idea is for a 10K Snipers Guild Competition.
This is a mixture of resourcefullness, detective work, tireless searching, covertness and a lot of fun.
What this entails is as follows: You have say 100 entered nations. Each nation is paired off with another, so you have 50 pairs, and so in the first round of the competition you have 100 nations. in the second round, (there is one winner in each pair) you would have 50 nations. Then 25 go through, then 12. (The last winner from all the pairs to declare goes out). Then 6 nations, and finally 3. This decides the podium places.
How the game works is you are given a serial number at the beginning when you sign up. Example if i signed up, i might be nation 0001. The competition would require total secrecy from the very beginning, so no nation is aware of any of the others playing or their nation names. You in your pair -and you wont know who your partner is- are assigned the serial number of your partner as a target.
Once the game begins you must try and track down the nation with the serial number you were given to hunt. You can use any means to try and find out who they are. The introduction of the Taco monetary system will work well with this competition, so bribary, favours etc can come into play. (You could even offer to put in a few extra hours in the department of immigration for a hint as to who or where your target is and is moving.)
You have to try and evade having your serial number discovered at the same time, so constant region hopping, covering your tracks, paying off other people to stay quiet, and enlisting the help of other regions members to stay quiet if anyone comes asking can all be employed to keep you safe whilst you attempt to find out your partners name. You could even use puppets to go to different regions if you think the person chasing you down may be close.
There would be one nation however who is the Guild Master. This nation takes all of the official nation names at the beginning who have entered the competition. Entry must be done by secret telegram or forum message, so no one can keep tabs on who has signed up. The Guild Master will after every 48 hours issue you with a clue as to the movements of your partner, to put you in the right direction and keep you on your toes. For example if i were the Guild Master i could say that 'serial code 0001 entered the region 'XXX' 48 hours ago' or 'serial code 0001 has been to the region of a nation called 'Mr. Big' in the last 48 hours.' More varied clues could be provided.
The winner out of each pair would be the nation who thinks they have discovered the nation name to the corresponding serial number they were given. For example if i track the moving number to be a nation, then i telegram or message on the forum the Guild Master. If this nation name is correct then i win out of the pair. The other partner is informed that they have been 'Sniped' and are out of the competition. If you submit a name and you get it wrong you will be out yourself.
This competition would get lots of people involved and would increase the sense of regional excitement, as each new round is declared. The overall winner could be awarded a prize money of 5,000 tacos. (or some other prize sum)
Lots of writing that was i know, but this idea could really be advertised, take off, and set a trend among other regions. Wouldnt it be great for 10K to be at the cutting edge of in game events once again?
Let me know what you think. To make up the numbers we could even advertise in the pacifics.
Sinn.
P.s the task of telegraming all participating nations with a clue, and monitoring all these nations would require a large team in administration. The department of labour could recruit nations internally to be competition mods. (Extra employment always good)
Thanks.

For my service strengthening ties between Canada and the 10000 Islands.
Yes you are right. Ina few days if i get the overall go ahead from Grub i will use 'funds' and energy from the DoL, as HockeyNutVille so kindly extended his support. And then go about a serious advertisement drive...
