[li]Is there an end date? There is no way for me to predict how quickly it will take for someone to reach 5 bill nor is this a race. This is a means of encouraging and motivating people. It is completely voluntary and you can stop whenever you like. [li]How do I join? As of right now the first round is for people who cleared out their accounts by Monday, July 11th of 2016. As this progresses more rounds or cohorts will be added depending on how much interest is shown. If you are interested in joining a later cohort please ping to be added to the wait list. I will try to give a week advance notice for those interested to clear their accounts by! [li]Do I have to be gold to participate? You do not have to have a gold account to participate, however, it is super useful. For that reason and to prevent unfair advantages both myself and other kind users have agreed to give a 1 month GA medal to any non-gold user a single time. It is then up to the participant to decide if they want to use some on-hand/vault sp or pay for it via csc themselves. [li]I'm an artist/graphic maker, could I participate? This is a really tough one because commissions for sP will unfortunately be counted on your user dashboard and not everyone has artistic abilities. If you are willing to do commissions for everything but sP (CSC/ WL/ RL Money) it can definitely be considered but I don't want anyone to feel forced. You can always do this in spirit! [li]Why can we not sell CSC for sP? This challenge is about making sP through means available on site such as questing, vending, restocking, and games. Selling CSC to boost your sP total or shop till will be seen as unfair. [li]Can I still do the SP Sprint? Yup! This is a totally separate challenge with a different set of rules. You can do both if you so desire! Just let me know and I will note it. [li]Do I have to vend the tokens? At first I am going to say yes but as time progresses if you really hate vending that much you can sell the tokens. Large token sales will be questioned in the first week or so of the challenge in case people are selling their vaulted token stashes as an sP boost. [li]I am interested in being a helper! What can I do? I love any and all help! If interested please let me know. I am not honestly sure yet as to the duties but encouragement is always welcomed! Cheering on players, alerting of good profit turns, friendly reminder pings .etc would be helpful! [li]What are the milestones? Milestones have been broken up into two categories; Total sP Accumulated and Shop Till.

Total sP Milestones

100 Mill Total 250 Mill Total 500 Mill Total 750 Mill Total 1 Bill Total 1.5 Bill Total 2.5 Bill Total 3 Bill Total 4 Bill Total 4.5 Bill Total 5 Bill Total

Shop Till Milestones

50 Mil Shop 100 Mill Shop 250 Mill Shop 500 Mill Shop 750 Mill Shop 1 Bill Shop 1.5 Bill Shop 2.5 Bill Shop 3 Bill Shop

[li]Are there prizes? Yes there are graphic brag banners for certain milestones. There is also encouragement from others . For those that reach 5 bill sP your prize is what you saved and a special CW!"

Progress:I will be the low money maker, I spend 9 hrs a day looking at a computer for work, I'm not always likely to get on the computer when I get home to spend a few more hours questing and such, I will do what I can but again, it'll be slow, so I'll be the curve I guess, lol. [li]1/2/17: 6,403,190 sP on hand/129,753 sP in shop till (I stupidly took from my shop til already, but I'm hoping I won't do it again, lol) [li]1/6/17: 6,941.496 sP on hand/3,429,281 sP in shop till

No worries I hear you. =) Just ping or comment me when you think you are better able to be active. I am making a list of who would like when to make another cohort I guess.

Suggestion: Maybe at your milestones see about others starting their own, by then there will be a good idea on how easily/quickly one can get to said milestones

You mean like others making their own goals? Or you mean like time them to see how long it takes? Although I do like my terrible cheesy attempt at making some goals fun with brag banners/badges. I did think about doing like a CW of a little hercules doll as a prize.

claps Hercules, Hercules! (should only be 5bil achievers!)

No I mean, ping waitlisters here when someone makes a milestone, let them see the ease at which one can reach said milestones. And instead of starting a challenge over, allow users to join when they can, but when at least one person reaches a milestone.

So User A reaches the 500mil milestone User B starts the challenge from scratch User A reaches the 1bil milestone User C starts the challenge from scratch

Does that make sense?

Now what I get what you are saying. If I were to do it that way then I wouldn't have time to really like keep the first post up to date if I have people joining at random increments. But I will consider it. It would also depend on those who are waiting who wants to try to clear out in time. But yeah only 5 bill achievers would get the little companion thing. I am trying to find an artist to do it

I can't do this since I am currently in the middle of saving for another goal, but what a great idea! Good luck to everyone! :)
