RED CROWN TOURNAMENT DAY ONE: The Contest of Champions

There are many people who have come and gone from the hallowed halls of this website. It’s time to call them to your aid, new and old, if you can.

In this game, you are encouraged to recruit users to post in this thread on your behalf. The rules are quite simple:

Rules:

1. A user may only post on behalf of a user, themselves or another, one time. That means you have only one endorsement, make it count! [THIS INCLUDES ALTS]
2. All posts on behalf of another user must take place in this thread and only this thread to qualify for points.
3. Posting on behalf of another user may take any format, as long as it clearly identifies who that user is posting on behalf of and what criteria they are fulfilling. It doesn’t need to be complex: A simple “I post on behalf of User X to fulfill X condition” will do it.
4. A user may post on their own behalf, subject to all other rules
5. A user posting on another's behalf may only fulfill one point-earning condition but a user may have any number of users post on their behalf to fulfill any number of r conditions.
6. A user may only earn points from each condition once.
7. Anyone who uses this as an excuse to harass or spam other users with requests is immediately disqualified and subject to sanctions. This is supposed to be fun and potentially bring back older users into the fold, not bother them!

1 Point:

- Post on your own behalf
- Have a user with a joindate you haven't had already post on your behalf
- Have a user whose name starts with a letter of the alphabet you haven’t already had post on your behalf

2 Points:

- Have a user who has served on the mod team post on your behalf
- Have a user who hasn't posted in over a year post on your behalf
- Have a user who hasn’t posted in Discussion in over 5 years post on your behalf
- Have a current site contributor post on your behalf
- Have a former member of any version of the Ne0n Dream post on your behalf
- Have someone who has won as mafia in a UPick game on site post on your behalf

4 Points:

- Have a current Discussion or Mish Mash mod post on your behalf
- Have a current List mod post on your behalf
- Have a current Tech Admin post on your behalf
- Have a user who hasn't posted in over 5 years post on your behalf
- Have a user who has never posted in Discussion before post on your behalf
- Have a former member of 2021 version of the Ne0n Dream post on your behalf
- Have a former SUPP winner post on your behalf
- Have someone who has run a UPick game to completion on site post on your behalf

11 Points:

- Have a user who joined November 11th, 2011 [EST] post on your behalf
- Have a former Admin post on your behalf
- Have the inventor of UPick post on your behalf
- Have a user who hasn’t posted in over 11 years post on your behalf
- Have a user who has met AniX in person post on your behalf

The game begins as of THIS POST!

I will rule an open alt's achievement can count for the main, sure.

In post 9, schadd_ wrote: posting on aisa's behalf can i PLEASE be worth 4 points there was this upick game viewtopic.php?t=80648 that i was a reviewer and backup mod for and also backup mod turns out to have meant running the game entirely from partway through d1 until it ended (on night 3) (also i found the mod thread). like "to completion" could naively mean "from some point until the point of completion" and also that happens to represent like 90% of the active period of the game as previously stated. and also "run" can mean like "be a (potentially) backup moderator of" and the value of the act of backup modding was demonstrated by the fact that i moderated 90% of the game as previously stated. Come on i need this. by freak circumstance i was reminded of that game earlier today because i was searching in my ego and it showed up and i was like "i have no memory of this". also i cohosted supp one year. also it's 11pm where i live sorry i am lying. i won't do it again. oh and i havent posted in discussion
I will ALLOW your 4 point status.

I'll try to figure the highest score you could earn from it, but you are absolutely better off identifying it for me.

It is looking like a runaway game (at this stage at least), with a new score to beat emerging as we enter day 2:

Still Vash's game to lose, but with Red Crown threads popping up (but not yet tallied) there are still plenty of unclaimed points in play. And rumor has it tonight's Contest could be a real windfall that could shake up the game...

Ne0n Dream recognizes no winner but the bottom. I, however, am forced to submit to conventional wisdom and have boosted the score.
