hi ya folks,

i'm hoping someone around here might help me with some suggestions on how to go about organizing a forum debating tournament with both an entry fee and a cash prize.

what i would LIKE to do is somehow create a paypal (or if not paypal some other monetary holding/transferring online system) account that would be held by KMC. basically people in the vs forum (or whatever forum i choose to set a tournament up in) could forward a couple bucks into this account. the forwarded $ would not be accessible to either me or anyone until the tournament is over. upon completion of the event, the winner/winners would then have the cash prize forwarded to them.

has anyone ever heard of something like this or does anyone have any suggestions for how i could make something like this work? i'd love your input.

thanks kindly,
leo

debates are judges by a panel not involved in the event. there can also be a voters poll however problems with a poll are obvious so they are not very reliable.

KidRock, Debbiejo, and FOTN. They must come to a complete agreement before announcing their decision.

NOW your hispanic. the second you disagree with him, however, your complexion will get lighter and lighter until you finally cave in and find yourself driving a rusted out vintage pickup truck sporting a confederate flag, blasting david alan coe songs

Hooper: And Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!

Banky Edwards: Well, isn't that true?

of course, this is why i hesitated to post the topic in this thread . . .

i WAS sorta hoping that someone who is a bit more computer savvy than myself might have a REAL answer, however . . .

It's not something that I personally would like to get involved with.

But is it possible to use KMC for such private purposes?

i'm not trying to make it private. i would like KMC to hold the account or at least have an account created that could be touched by no one until such time as a winner is determined. none of the money would go through me at all. still, seems no one has an answer so the idea will likely remain only that . . .

don't laugh man, i was black the first time i talked to him, but slowly, post by post, i became lighter and lighter, went slowly through gray, found myself liking mayonnaise, Willie nelson and The Waltons. One day, i got up, looked in the mirror and thought i'd seen a ghost, but no, its me, as pasty and pale as Casper. I can get more work now thought

The big text is the scam. The bigger text is the lie.

utilizing his keen sense of cynicism, detective halfling has found me out . . . sadwalk

alas, the millions i stood to gain from this venture (because clearly it MUST be a scam, i mean whyever would anyone want to try and institute something new just for the "fun" of it ) are now destined to remain forever out of reach. my dog shall simply have to carry on without that operation . . .

Why would something new to be fun need money? Just organize a Debating Contest for free if it's just for fun.

because all the tournaments are always 'free', and just for bragging rights.

if i were actually trying to 'scam' anyone, why on earth would i ASK if anyone knew a way to run this thing in such a way that i WOULD NOT be able (nor would anyone else) to access the money until AFTER the event and a winner is declared? i'm not OFFERING a way to do it, i'm ASKING if anyone KNOWS a way. i understand the fear of getting screwed on the web. i thought by asking for help in setting this up, it might alleviate some fears, but perhaps not.

meh, like i said, no one seems to have any ideas anyway, so the idea will likely remain unrealized. i just really thought it would be cool to have a debating event where people could prove how good they were and have a chance to win some form of prize is all. i hear loads of talk about how good this debator is, and how good that debator is -- it would be cool to see the best debating for cash.

I'm not saying it's a scam...I believe in the good in people, I'm just saying that a free one might be just as much fun without the trouble of well..all that you are suggesting.

We should have more than 2 or 3 parties, yet people don't research things to see what they have been programmed to think........Like there are only 2 parties..........and feel that they are throwing their vote away if they vote for anyone outside the 2 parties..............scared scared non thinking people.

there are more parties, the problem is that your system basically only allows for two real parties. It's a win or lose thing. I'm not saying that the German System is better, but it is better, you have an actual opposition and up to 5 parties.

People here are afraid they will be throwing their vote out to vote something besides the 2 parties..................chickens and chickens and fearful.

So Republicans have common sense and aren't going to be scammed whereas Democrats are?

Well, I'd suspect that political affiliation has little to do with falling for a scam. And the word 'Republican' in a thread is always a bad idea.

And stuff.

It's hard to go wrong with it, really: it's got the prefix 're' (again), 'public' (the people), and 'an' (an article).

'An' goes with a noun--which is, unfortunately, missing--but it's basically saying "____ to/for the people again". We'll say 'power' or something that makes it sound good.

(Think that'd make a good essay topic, or would the professor see through the bullshit?)

Look...when some random German dude can see through the bullshit an US Professor will....oh....yeah...US...nevermind.

Unfortunately, Democrats aren't graced with such a good name.

"Demo" as in "demolish"--to tear down--and "crat", shortened for "aristrocrat". Therefore, the Democratic party stands for the "tearing down of aristocracy". That's hate! Next thing you know, they'll be gunning for Jews!

Also, Republicans have "pub". That's always a good thing, right?

Hmmm...it'd probably have to fall under "dumbass-icide", really. Anyone who drinks heroin deserves to go into cardiac arrest. Unless it's a baby or a retard, of course.
