a fun little event held tonight

[Tenacity]

So I've been mindlessly smug... erm, "Trading"... for the past few days just to see how much money I can scrape up before 4.85, and when I got back to new york after a round trip of sirius I saw a new player (level 6 in a starflea) asking what a good starting trade route is... now, even the cruel tenacity can help out the new guys once in a while. I told him about the new york - new london luxury food/goods route, and gave him a booster of 500,000 credits to get a better ship for trading with.

For some reason that put me in the incredibly odd mood of giving away money, and since I had gone several million past my goal for the night I parked my firefly outside of manhattan and began quizzing the local populace on random facts, both from discovery RP and from the singleplayer campaign.

I asked a total of 30 questions, and each correct answer awarded the player 250,000 credits. Around 24-25 of the questions were eventually answered by someone, while the remaining questions I had to answer because after several minutes nobody came up with a response that was correct.

All in all, about 6.5 million credits were spent between that new guy and the quiz awards, and it was pretty fun at the same time =P
