Consider this my intent to enter. Here is the title and precis:

MAKE.MONEY.FAST
In this game, your goal is to make $100 or more as quickly as
possible in order to pay the month's rent and have a little left over
for Christmas shopping. Pyramid schemes are of course illegal, so
instead you happen upon a scheme to make the money in short order by
accepting five dollars from twenty different people, in turn for no
promise either to perform a vaguely-defined service or to refund their
money if said service is not performed. Bonus points for taking money
from 30 or more suckers... er... customers! Game is over when the
government arrives to drag you off to jail.

Here is my submitted $5:

Seeing as how there will be more than $100 in cash prizes, I find your
comment grossly unfair.

Let me get this straight - you're actually accusing Adam of pocketing
the money himself?

If this is a joke, you should be aware that sarcasm carries very
badly on Usenet.

Adam certainly has promised services in return for the entrance fee.

You have just falsely accused Adam Cadre of fraud or worse on a public
forum. Shame on you.
