1. Each person gets to pick 5 names to put on the list.

2. Only people that have submitted names for the list are eligible for the contest. You can enter late but the contest starts as soon as someone posts 5 names to search for!

3. Contest ends on March 20th or if someone finds them all before that! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will change the end date if people think it is a bad choice. Some might want to end this before the end of Feb so they can get their bases moved and make a run at a cash out. But I wanted to have enough time to search a large area. End date may change.

4. At end of contest PM me the info you have found. I will give 5 points if you are the only person to find a guy and 1 point if more than one person finds a guy. I will of course compile a complete list of all the people we have found and share it with all members. Even those that did not enter the contest as they could have been out of town or stoned maybe and missed the whole thing.

5. Prize is a free base location of $25.50 preferably transferred to your stars account but I guess we can try paypal also.

If SOMEONE accidentially should make one of these amazingly simple programs I would like see it for scientific purposes...

Hey guys, just started playing again today and I wanted to reiterate something. Wanted level makes a HUGE difference in how much money is taken from you. I had $2.80 in my account with a wanted level of 0 and got attacked for $0.22. With a high wanted level, say 10 or more, these attackers were taking nearly half of my money in one hit. If you have a good map with mountains listed, use your last 100 or so moves of the day just to search the mountains. I think this is especially important if you have daily attackers like I know some of us do.

Another thing I have noticed and would recommend to anyone thinking about moving their base is to move it to one of the 0 coordinates. If you are heading from west to east, you will come to the 0West coordinates, but you will skip right over 0East, and vice versa. So anyone making a map or searching for you would have a much more difficult time finding your base if you are on one of the 0 coordinates. Just my two cents worth.

I'm going to be moving mine soon I am not sure where though PM me ideas if you have any. I have been keeping a zero wanted level since the first time you mentioned how much it matters. It really is important they only seem to get 10%-5% of my total when they attack and I have a zero wanted level.

vetman81 · #**839** 03-10-2006, 06:32 PM

Ah, that sucks you cant move it to a 0 coordinate. Lucky for those bases already on there though.

The size of the world just doubled... it shouldn't be that hard to find a place to hide!
