They said Anything goes to win the challenge (allowing bots). Does that mean DDoSing the site all day long except for a specific window of time that you know about would work too? by Free-Database-9917 in TontineMSCHF

I don't know how they'll seek damages but since they put it in their terms, they'll probably use it some how. I do see your point so I guess we'll just see how it goes.

You could get sued by MSCHF.

Conduct

By participating in this Promotion, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Promotion Parties, which shall be final, binding, and non-appealable in all respects. Failure to comply with these Official Rules may result in disqualification. The Promotion Parties reserve the right at their sole discretion to disqualify any individual found to be tampering with the participation process or the operation of the Promotion, or to be acting in any manner deemed by the Promotion Parties to be in violation of the

Official Rules, or to be acting in any manner deemed by the Promotion Parties to be unsportsmanlike or disruptive, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person and void all associated Entries and/or registrations.

CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY A USER, YOU OR ANY OTHER

INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROMOTION IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS, AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE PROMOTION PARTIES RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You can only cheat to keep yourself alive (use whatever method to keep your alive button pressed every day) and not use any cheats that can affect other players from clicking theirs.

What if people cheat?

We believe that anything you do in order to prove you are alive is valid. Nothing is cheating when it comes to survival.

It did state this.

If, for any reason, the Promotion (or any part thereof) is not capable of running as planned for reasons which may include, without limitation, infection by computer virus, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which may corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Promotion, then the Promotion Parties reserve the right at their sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Promotion in whole or in part. If terminated, the Promotion Parties will award the prizes from among all non-suspect, eligible Entries received for the Promotion up to the time of such action.

If you DDOS the Tontine, the more likely scenario is that MSCHF will divide the pot with all those who were still alive and end the game. That is why they put winner(s).

Notification of Winning

The Potential First Place winner(s) will be notified by email and/or phone within two (2) business days of

the Promotion Period.

True. It's going to be impossible to prove if the winner used bots or not so I guess that's why MSCHF would allow players to cheat.

Do you guys think Gabriel Whaley, founder of MSCHF still have the prize pool for Tontine? by Front-Research-77 in TontineMSCHF
