Damn. I thought this just might be fun. I did not anticipate the vehement response it received from a couple of you. If it doesn't make sense to you and you don't see any value in it, don't take part. It seems to me that if participating in a competition is a waste of time to you, flame throwing on a thread about a competition would be more so. I have found in my life that some people tend to feel more validated about their philosophies, outlooks and world views when they're trashing someone else. I'm sure that's not the case here, but it feels a little like it.

The reason there is no value in this is because nobody cares about winning. You can't have a competition in which nobody cares.

It's like in a fantasy football league, the only people who care are the people winning. I would bet that the bottom half of these leagues have people who never touch their lineup after week 8. The top half will care through to the playoffs because they are getting paid if they win.

However in this case of the contest, there are no standings and there is no prize. So the contest itself is no motivation for people. The people who will enter the competition and see it through will be people who care about their lives and financial situation.

With all that said. If this thing actually gets going. I'll enter it because I just started a new venture last month and I promise that I will be in this until 2014 and beyond.

This.

Put some money up, and the number of people who want to compete will go from 100 to like 4.

nobody cares about winning.

I'm always winning.
Even when I'm losing, I'm winning.
Even when I'm winning, I'm winning.
Even when I'm dead, I'm winning.
Even when I'm asleep, I'm winning.
Even when I'm alive, I'm winning.
Even when I'm awake, I'm winning.
Even when I'm typing, I'm winning.

Biopahas & Snowbank, good call! Entry fee, winner takes the pot? I'd be for that. It would certainly keep people in it.
