Instead of giving a prize to whoever gets most eggs, every egg caught rewards a better chance of getting the prize. If you have guys with this egg score :

• tore - 70 eggs
• Duce - 45 eggs
• Jans - 33 eggs

Then you have a total of 70 + 45 + 33 = 148 eggs. Then you pick a random number between 1 and 148 (using f.ex random.org). The owner of the number picked wins the competition.

You can tell who the owner is like this :

• tore has numbers 1 to 70
• Duce has numbers 71 to 115
• Jans has numbers 116 to 148

(with the one who has the most eggs getting the earliest numbers - sort alphabetically when two or more persons are tied for the same amount of eggs)

The point of doing it this way is that finding an egg will always give you an advantage in the competition, regardless if someone else has found every other egg but the one you found. That way, it's always worth finding an egg, even if you're late in the game :)

The idea being that even the people who participate the least will still have some shot in the game?

I will consider this idea for next year, because I don't want to run the same event every year, but it would be nice to have variations on the events...

However, this event is a lot of work, and your suggestion sounds like even more work on top of it, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Of course I respect that and completely understand.

I don't want to give the impression I'm really pushing this idea, but I just wanna mention I don't think it would be such a lot of work. It's more or less just generating a random number at the end of it all and figuring out who the winner is. It only requires some basic math skills. :)

I think she's probably had a lot of trouble hiding this ridiculous amount of eggs in threads every day so far, Tore.
Another thing is if she's putting her own money into this or if the mods chipped in or something. If she is, I think she's doing far too much already.

I think I've found at least 10 that turned out to be already found when I came here to post... oh well!

(And if it's not too much trouble Ped, I'm ready to lose the ears)
