firstly decide how much you want to actually give back. and how you want to give it back. If you want to do lots of small prizes then do simple quick contests. If you want to do something bigger with a few big prizes rather than lots of small ones maybe with stages.

List everything you want to give away so in a line like

100,000
50,000
45,000
40,000
35,000
30,000
25,000
20,000
18,000
15,000
14,000
12,000
10,000
9,500
9,000
8,500
8,000
7,500
7,000
6,500
6,000
5,500
5,000
4,500
4,000
3,500
3,000
2,500
2,000
1,900
1,800
1,700
1,600
1,500
1,400
1,300
1,200
1,100
1,000
500

then everyone pms you with a prize they'd like. If they are the only person that goes for that value of money they win it. and are effecitvly out of the contest with their prize All other cash prizes are taken off the table and everyone left in is going for a bigger prize like umm 50,000 coins.

Then stage two. You randomly list everyone who is left and give them all a number. People post any number if your number gets called your out. Till we have 1 left who wins.

This message is hidden because this person has been banned.

Why don't do you some questions and riddles, but instead of letting everyone pm you, post it in the contest forum so everyone can see it and you can do riddles like My moves are Blah, Blah Blah and I am this pokemon: blah blah blah I have a special ability called: Blah blah blah ( The moves and ability are hints the pokemon is how you win) And there will be places from 1-100 1 gets 50,000 etc ( on and on)
like that.

I'm looking for suggestions about the contest itself like how to win the prize. I don't need you to tell me how to list my prizes.

you should do a posting contest like 1st post wins or something

how about this:
Suppose you are given 50K from dream,what is the best way you'll spend it.
The most innovative answers will get prizes

What do you plan for each stage to be?

Its in the post.

Stage one - everyone can PM with which of the listed prizes they want to win. Any unique requests i.e only player to pick that value of money wins it and its out of the game with that prize. Obviously this will have to be done in secret so no1 knows what everyone has asked for so youd need a spreadsheet or a piece of paper to just keep track of who asks for what.

example of how it would work. so in that example Joeysparkey is the only one to request 5k so Joey wins 5k and is out of the game with his 5000 coins. Everyone else moves into the last man standing portion of the game

Stage Two
then everyone that is left gets give a random number by you. So in the example 10 players left so 1-10. you keep these secret obviously.

everyone left in picks a number that number is eliminated till there is 1 number left who wins a big prize. so in th eexample 4 and 6 are left so the next number called loses. All eliminated players win nothing.

i like the idear

I'm in! (If it's okay)
