All rules and regulations were there, i left my inspect on for the entire run and inspected my opponents for verifcation purposes.
We ran into a little hiccup when healero came around but we settled it like men with a restart and some outwitting ;)

Thanks, however do note this:
I was 1/50+ players who "ran around and did nothing." I followed the rules fair and square, and i wasn't being cheap in ANY way. In fact i was the one enforcing fair play by making sure the player couldn't use the vita and health cap in the final round + i showed myself not using any for the trust + verification factor. i stayed TRUE to the challenge in EVERY round.
I'm sorry if you feel this way about how i won but don't forget:
the goal was to survive as long as possible, not kill enemies.
Attacking monsters in the first place was never an objective.As a veteran player i only attacked when needed to such as cancelling enemies. I think you got the idea wrong, the goal of this was to test your kiting skills and see how long you can last in an arena full of devilites wearing bare minimum gear. As we all knew from the start it was near impossible to kill the enemies anyways as the silkwings heal 63 per healing attack and our weapons do like 6-15 damage per.
The person who kited the best via luring enemies onto their opponents and dodging incoming attacks the longest and most effectively will remain triumphant.
This was a test which was certainly more favourable to more experienced players so that last point you mad about giving average players a decent chance to win prizes was almost a fair accusation but don't forget. This guy gave out over 2 mil already out of his pocket, and a GOOD fraction of that was randomized. Plus the participation prizes alone. Gotta respect that, i don't think he was being stingy or close minded. The only other option would be dividing the prize pool up for more draws. which wouldn't really end up being much of a prize in the end, only other option would be increasing the prize pool to split it up more which would be coming outta his pocket.
At the end of the day, Nomkat donated one of his/her own celestial cat tails. nothing was stopping you from saying "Hey lego, i wanna give decent players a better chance at winning prizes since it's apparent this competition is favourable to more experienced players." "So here's some money towards the prize pool to give more people a chance to win."
Please note, i'm not hating or bagging on you at all. But that did come off as quite the ignorant remark calling my actions scum baggish when not only was i one of many players doing that, but it was practically the POINT OF THE CHALLENGE. Then on TOP of that you had the audacity to call out a person who gave away over 2mil cr to the general public on not being relatively fair to average players when he did the draws at RANDOM...
cmon man, are you serious.

I understand your comments
I understand your comments and I understand that scum bag was a little harsh and that the point was to survive but I still think that they should have made a rule about just running around.
I was going to donate 5k ce for the drawing but I ended up really busy the past week and didn't have a chance to do so.
I am sorry that I didn't clarify that I wasn't calling out legobuild (I know it was out of his own pocket), I was just commenting on how it is sad that the grand prize for the drawings went to someone who probably has little use for 1mill cr.
Don't take this as me hating on the event or on you and the others who just ran but I just think they could have thought this out a lot more to make it a little more fun (I enjoyed it but I know some people who pretty much wanted to kill those that just ran around dodging).
I am sorry if I offended you but I just wanted to put my thoughts into the event if they ever decide to do this kind of thing again.

I don't know, veteran players need money too
Just from the video... At the point Mini starts handing out the 10k bit, if you look at his crown count: less than 1 million. So I think that mill wasn't wasted.... I dunno; I had fun how it was, and the money I got, I know, will help me out a ton (even if it's not the mill).
Also, I like running around and dodging.

ikr
i won't lie i have been known to be a relatively wealthy player but it doesnt mean i'm stupid rich and i have no use for money. I still have goals like costumes, and gear. Buying shadow keys to do different SL challenge videos for youtube, or even do my own giveaways like :o everyone could use cr.
Anyways, gg.

Lawl, I have 3x ur prestige.
(I'm not used to using proto shield. Shield bumping significantly changes playstyle.)
My only problem with your first 2 rounds is that you where only running while everyone else was running and fighting which is a pretty scum bag thing to do. With that being said I know there wasn't anything in the rules about that but Banditboy did ask about people slacking off and not doing anything so that they could win (I still think it wouldn't have made a difference but that was kinda unfair). The third round you where all doing it so I don't have a problem about that one but I think legobuild should have made a rule that you can't just run around and not do anything. Another thing I wanted to mention was that I find it funny but kinda sad that the grand winners where both veteran players (I know it was practically unavoidable for the return of ur) that probably have little to no use for 1mill crowns.
Now I don't have a problem with the fact that you won with what you did I just have a problem with the fact that there weren't more rules about the runs to prevent cheating (like with that guy holding onto the key) and to make things more interesting by giving average players decent chances to win a good prize.
Again congrats on the win and enjoy those crowns :)
