I am proposing a survivor-type contest for navis.

Basics
Basically it would be all official and require navis to jack into a private network along with a set number of chips of their choice (maybe around 4). After this point, their operators are taken to a resort while their navis are subjected to the contests alone.

For anyone who has never watched Survivor, the premise of this contest is a series of challenges that will test a variety of skills (in this case, RP ability and ingenuity of chip usage would be tested).

All the contestants would be arbitrarily split into two teams/tribes/groups and compete for prizes. At the end of each contest, a navi from the losing team would be chosen (by his or her teammates) to be eliminated from the game. The remaining players receive a prize corresponding to how far the game has progressed - 100z for the first round, 200z for the second, 300z, then a chip, etc.

Example
"A large moat of water surrounds a small island with a coconut tree. There are several long rickety wooden bridges leading there. Your task is to harvest a heavy coconut and bring it back. It will likely take you 20 seconds to run across the bridge but 40 seconds to walk. The team with the most coconuts wins and in case of a draw, the team with the fastest combined time will win."

NaviA - NaviA shoots a cannon at the tree to knock down a coconut and dashes across the bridge. He brings back two coconuts no problem.

NabviB - The coconuts hang in the breeze with the gentle ... activates a Cannon chip and deftly aims as he crosses the bridge with ... running was out of the question with the heavy weight along for the ride ... blah blah ... finally returned with a coconut in tow.

Moderator decision - NaviA wins because 2 coconuts is better than 1.


Possibly something like that. Or maybe the mod will say NaviB won because the bridge snapped under NaviA due to the weight. It's just an example. The contest will not involve godmodding but the challenges will also probably not require them. More specific details will be added upon acceptance?

Optional Ideas/Issues
If the teams become unbalanced, the teams will either be reshuffled or a single player will randomly be transferred from the team with more navis.

Stats will PROBABLY not matter and NC and sigs will be shut down. Element and Subtype might give bonuses to certain challenges.

To avoid walls of text, I would suggest a word limit to replies.

Challenges would give FXP.

To avoid continuity issues, this contest would exist outside of the normal framework of the RECN universe, meaning you could still participate in the contest and fight viruses or do missions.

I have several ideas for the challenges but I won't post them now to avoid people knowing what to expect (and consequently prepare for).
