suggestions

We all know that time constraints are the biggest challenge for Ender in developing new features/aspects of the game. I was thinking of a few contests/events that would be easy to implement, and require minimal work from Ender. A few ideas:

A "race to beat this bot" comp.

Ender wills a bot into existence, and people race to beat it. Contestant bots must have a maximum age. For example, Ender creates a bot at 12 noon, a bot must have been built no earlier than 12 noon to qualify for winning. Prize could be a free buff, or free trophy points, simple glory on a list, or anything that would be easy for Ender to bestow.

Levelling race.

Simple enough, Ender sets a time and goal, all contestants start from level 1.

Mediated wagers.

Players could wager stars for whatever they wanted to bet on, (levelling races, monthly rankings) and Ender could facilitate transfer of the winnings. Of course, it would be at Ender's discretion which bets to entertain, as only wagers with very clear terms should be allowed, to avoid problems. Typing it down, it sounds like it might take a bit more time from Ender than i thought. Hm. I don't know.

Etc.

I like the ideas, but yeah they would be a bit of work.

Short term races that last a day or even a few hours is something I'd be interested in. Playing for hours every day to get the big numbers is not on the cards anymore.

Short term races would cater to different groups of the game :)

Sign me up for the 1 day, 6 hour, 1 hour races then. Kinda like rape day, only with bets?

Maybe too much work for just ender himself. It's possible right now As long as a goal time is set and a trustable referee notes it down and ender just awards it

sounds good neps :)
