[B]You REALLY want to find and store this:[/B] [IMG]http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130620111233/play-rust/images/b/b2/Paper.png[/IMG] [B]Contest Starting Time:[/B] February 18th, 1PM PST / 4PM EST - [B][U]NOW LIVE![/U][/B] [B]Contest Ending Time:[/B] February 25th, 6PM PST / 9PM EST [B]Prize Money:[/B] [I]1st Place - $30.00[/I] [I]2nd Place - $20.00[/I] [I]3rd Place - $10.00[/I] [B]How to Connect:[/B] [I]Press F1 in-game to bring up the console and copy/paste this:[/I] net.connect 50.23.129.117:29315 [B]Possibly Asked Questions - PAQ[/B] Can I team up with friends and give my teammate all my Paper? [I]Absolutely, just know that your teammate will be the one that receives the money, after that its up to you to split that hefty bag of gold.[/I] Are there any custom mods or settings I should know about? [I]We are running Oxide with very few addons, as far as the loot drops and gameplay everything is Vanilla (as in, we like how Garry set the game up).[/I] If I place in the top 3, how will I receive my monieeyeyz? [I]PayPal, Check through Mail, Steam Gift Card, or almost anything as long as it doesn't cost a huge fee or infringe on people's privacy.[/I] Why are you doing this? [I]The game Rust is amazing, but after playing for almost 400 hours we have realized that a lot of the servers we play on are pretty boring and don't really have a point. There are so many routes this game could go, it is beautifully designed and extremely fun to play. Bringing a competitive experience to Rust is one of the most exciting ideas for us on this server and we hope to do many contests and grow as a community.[/I] What if I don't want to compete in the competition? [I]More power to you for joining the server. Enjoy yourself, and know when the server is going to be wiped. As opposed to not knowing and waking up one day and everything is gone (happened to me 3-4 times on different heavily populated servers). I, myself, am not competing in the event for obvious reasons, but I am still playing and it's definitely still fun knowing your limitations but also your capabilities.[/I] Please ask questions below and we'll update the main post if necessary. Thanks for reading and hope to see y'all out there! Current server information: [url=http://clanforge.multiplay.co.uk/servers/2486684/view][img]http://cache.multiplayuk.com/b/1-2486684-560x95-13353-FF5519-FFFFFF.png[/img][/url]

If this is indeed for real money then me and my mates are probably down to give it a try. I always thought a hardcore no respawn last man standing rust competition would be interesting, but I guess people would need an incentive to come outside their houses.

Thanks for your comment EdwardTulane. It is indeed for real money, although it isn't much, it's much better than nothing! We will definitely have competitions in the future with the idea of "hardcore" in mind. So be on the lookout for that! [B]Contest starts in 40 minutes guys! Get ready![/B] Servers will wipe and restart at 12:59PM PST / 3:59PM EST and then the contest is live!

i have a few questions. where is the server located? is cheatpunch activated? does the server have ddos protection? is everything craftable? how many people are required for airdrops? are the admins going to be playing? are sleepers on? whats the craft time? will admins clean my base up if others grief it?

The server is located in Seattle, WA. Location of the server and capacity, however, may change based on the feedback we get from people and the community. CheatPunch is activated, and we have a Multiplay Server, as far as the DDoS protection there is only so much I can do as a User/Admin, it is up to Garry's coding and Multiplay's support. But so far they both have been excellent and DDoS has not been an issue. The server is completely Vanilla/Default. So everything that is craftable by default, is craftable. So that means c4, guns, metal structures, etc. Currently the amount of people required for airdrops is 10, this will have to be adjusted accordingly once the competition gets more players and in future competitions. But we do want to have airdrops happening for the initial players as well! There will be some admins that are taking place in the event, however, they can only kick/ban people, they will not have the capability of spawning anything (nor will they ever). I will be the only person capable of spawning any items and IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. And I will be playing, however, I cannot win and I am just out there to have fun and to monitor the competition for hackers/cheaters. Sleepers are on by default and the craft time is default (stand by them workbenches!) If you are attacked by a hacker, IMMEDIATELY notify an admin in-game. We will kick/ban the hacker and assess the situation with your items. We are constantly saving the server, so if something happens we do have the option of going back in time, if it could be a couple minutes and a majority of the players online are okay with it (because hackers are not going to be prominent and hopefully people will want to see them banned and taken care of) we will definitely take that idea into consideration. However, just giving items to people that say they were hacked, will not happen. We need some evidence and immediate notice would be very helpful. Thanks again for the questions, I hope this helped!

Contest is now live! Started 4 minutes ago, people are gathering!

how many slots on the server? i see this being a popular event

While VAC and Cheatpunch are doing a decent job, hackers are still running rampant throughout the servers as evidenced by the guy who's been repeatedly nuking all the official servers. I have a feeling you're just going to end up giving some hacker 30 bucks.

This is our first competition so we are not exactly sure on how it is going to go, but we aim to take down hackers at all costs and to be as fair as possible when it comes to people's belongings as well as the well-being of the server. Also the admins know who is playing, and who is playing the most. If someone just shows up at the end or doesn't play at all and miraculously has 100,000 paper, we will know something is up. EDIT: YOUR NAME IS AWESOME, HUGE DUMB AND DUMBER FAN

i can vouch that there are still many hackers in rust

I'm sure that this will keep coming up, the hackers/cheaters, but that is the nature of Rust right now. We're trying to avoid it as much as we possibly can though. And like I said, we know who is playing the most so we know who deserves to win if it came down to it.

How many admins do you currently have? How do IIIIIIIIII become admin?!!??!?!?!

Thanks for asking meago. We currently have 4 admins, and to become an admin you would just need to play a lot and show you're trustworthy. Basic admins can only kick/ban people, they can not spawn any items. Or they can pay me lots of money and I will consider it... :)

Awesome, I'm stoked! BTW to anyone reading this: I've been playing on this server for a few weeks prior to this event and the Admins have always been fair and chill

Shanks DQueazy, we try to keep it hella chill.

its been fun. all that its missing is more people imho

We've got between 5-10 people steady, just need that little push from some more people to make the server a success and more fun for all. And like I said we plan on doing many more contests after this.

the paper collecting definitely adds a different element. i like having a goal and fighting for something rather than just try to wipe people out like normal. its definitely a weird feeling logging off and hoping my paper doesn't get stolen. goodnight everyone :)

I stole all your paper! :)

I didn't really though.

Still looking for more people! Prizes will be more $$ in the future. Currently though if you play you have a really good shot of winning the money still. The person with the most paper right now is about 100-150. At least that's what I've heard from players... Think you can collect and store more?

Prosperity and Paper.

Contest is almost 2 days complete. Still a really good chance of winning if you start playing now.

Good morning and happy paper hunting

How much paper does the leader have currently? Has it been a lot of action?

[QUOTE=FucYourCouch;43985158]How much paper does the leader have currently? Has it been a lot of action?[/QUOTE] Thanks for asking FucYourCouch (Great name too btw), the current leader to my knowledge has between 150-300 paper at the most. Most people have around 100-200. There has been a decent amount of action, we have /stats so you can see your kills/deaths which is neat and we have the death announcement mod to see who killed who with what weapon but it doesn't tell you where it happened.

Nice, and how much do you expect people to have towards the end?

yo ryfle, theres about 75 in my base. u can tell everyone lol. still not telling where it is so u guys gotta hunt for it lol. i wont be playing there anymore, only because of the ping. im east coast in canada and i was having trouble in most gunfights because of it. great server though!

I'm gonna find that paper!
