You should at least have multiple games. Some of us dont wanna go spend $50 just so we can participate (although this is not me, being that Im alreade begging my parents for Q3). Im talking about the general masses.
Just more constructive criticism =D

Oh, and just another cool idea if this gets huge.
BETTING
I dont COMPLETELY understand it yet, but the horse-race style betting would be pretty cool. I wouldnt mind being the person responsable for the betting either, as long as I watch a few more horse races and get it down pat. I could just use a .txt file to keep track of all the bets. Thatd be a much simpler and faster feature to implement. We could use the rumble room to hold all the rabid gamblers =D

If people don't want to pay, it's their problem... I hate to say it, but this way, all the really out of character "I show up in reets wearing all my armour, and I'm only here for the chance to earn money" people wont come... This means NO powergamers!!!
That way, it'll be in the spirit of the game (if there is such a thing) and it will make it all the more enjoyable!

I personally think something into Ao's atmosphere is better off...and while quake does, UT2k3-2k4 does it very well. But grand idea Tarryk, though it would require some work with the lawful owner of said games.

I do heartily appreciate the constructiveness you guys are presenting me. Thank you. 
Understandable, but with flawed logic. If I expand to, say, 3 games -- I'm now doing 3 times the work (edit-in: if anyone asks me why that would be, I'm just deleting your post, this is NOT going to be easy to orchestrate even with just 1 game), and now we're asking participants to pay 150$ instead of 50 if they want to always be in on it. It's just too much hassle. Better to stick with one game for all beginning chapters of this project. And I think Q3A is it. Also, I will never "ask" anyone to purchase a game. It's something for people who play both AO and Q3A, and a way to integrate the two together, it's not an advertisement deal for either game.
Cool idea, possible in the not-so-near future, unless something related to gambling becomes a liability. We'll see.
Entirely a matter of opinion, and I do respect that one completely.
However, I tend to see Q3A as what a "virtual reality gladiator arena" would be in the world of Rubi-Ka..it doesn't look much like RK but retains the haphazard chaos and dark cyberpunk features that the average person on Rubi-Ka would likely consider stylish. Plus the fact that it's geared towards lower-end systems, it's more accessible, costs less, has a more stabilized basis for mod-creation (imagine fighting in a Q3A mod designed to look like Jobe!), and still looks really slick. Those points combined are enough for me to nominate it over any other, hehe.
Exceptionally good point, here. I'm not the least bit concerned about Q3A, since it's used for things like this constantly, and practically endorses such a use. I am, however, concerned with what FC might think about an idea like this. I'm still putting together a sort of roleplayish business model to present to FC, basically laying out the details, what would be allowed, what wouldn't be allowed, and why it would be a neet idea to at least give a couple attempts to while not detracting from the glory of AO itself.
More than anything, I'm concerned with the original idea of "pay creds to enter" and "winner gets creds" part. I'm not sure that allowing credits to factor into it would be a wise idea, but that's what the structured planning is for, after all. It may or may not be implemented at the launch of RKVA.

Well, everyone donating a minimum amount to the fine guild of GSP gets the info to connect and play...
I mean you guys are handing out millions of creds, but then again FC hasn't shown itself to be benevolent on past actions, more robotic you broke the rules down you go kind of response.
If you can get them to sanction betting, entry fees and contest money, sweet.
Otherwise I would say a donation system would be the way to go.

Yup, in most senses, both fit the universe, but Quake III is likely more to AO's, and UT2k3 would be more to something not of cyberpunk nature.
Also, as stated, Q3 is less demanding, yet still looks good. I'd pay to join in it.

Words are but what they are, words, Lady Gurltoi.
We wait till its initiated, and then see who's ass is handed to whose!
And it'd be nice if you could hand me back my shot up ass on a wood plate, as I am allergic to silver.
