The Contract Challenge (2012 - 2013)

[Ryz]

The Contract Challenge commonly shortened to TCC, was a VC-MP event designed in 2012 by Ryz and Anonymous. The event started as a simple idea which originated from the multiplayer mode known as Contracts in Hitman Absolution.

The event was also an experiment to see what would happen when participants such as clan mates and friends turn against each other in an effort to win the event reward.

The Contract Challenge was the first event in the TCC series which started on December 08, 2012 and ran for 36 days, ending on January 13, 2013. The first event was a beta test to determine if such an event could even work in VC-MP. The event had 27 participants, 1 winner and 2 runner ups. The prize reward for the winner was $1,000,000 cash reward in Littlewhiteys Server, $500,000 for second place and $125,000 for third place. Baldachyn was the winner of the first event, with SaM and WiLsOn in second and third place. The format for the event was to kill 10 randomly generated targets and send a picture of each kill to Anonymous.

After the pictures were received a new target would of be sent to the participant until all 10 targets have been killed. The beta test required each participant to use a specific weapon or vehicle for each kill and the condition for each kill increased in difficult after every kill.

The Blood Money Challenge is the second event in the series of TCC. The event started on March 16, 2013 and finished on April 19, 2013. The second event followed the same format as the beta, however instead of 10 targets, the paricipants must eliminate 40 targets and the list of targets are no longer sent in privacy, meaning all participants could see each others lists. The experiment in this event was to see what would occur if all participants had knowledge of each others targets.

The prize for this event was $2,000,000 for the first participant who could kill all 40 targets. Gudio managed to successfully kill all 40 targets and was awarded the prize money.

For the first time, The Blood Money Challenge included additional goals which could be completed and would unlock an achievement. These achievements were not a requirement and did not need to be completed in order to win.

This event also was designed to work with multiple servers which included both Littlewhitey's and Extreme Addicts server. A fully scripted echo bot was created to 'watch' over each server echo and record the results for each participant and then it would auto-update the leaderboard, however this feature was still under construction and never made it into the final version.

The Blood Money Challenge was an ambitious upgrade to its predecessor which had a different approach than the first event, however issues with the original scripted echo bot, lack of targets in timezones for each participant and other issues eventually deemed the event unplayable and it was closed down and eventually retired on October 08, 2013.
