Hi all,

I am currently looking for a Pac-Man player to play on my behalf in a tournament. You will have a whole day to play Pac-Man but you will be playing on a laptop. It is an exclusive entry to this tournament and I have managed to sneak an entry, however I am not a great player. If you get top prize you will get £3000, £1000 for 2nd, £500 for third, £250 for 4th and £100 for 5th. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions you may have. If you are dubious about the whole thing we can write up a contract to show I am deadly serious.

Who is holding the tournament - Got a link to it?

If it's super exclusive I'm not sure the rules would allow another person to claim a prize other than the named entrant. Could be very dodgy ground when you're talking about 4 figure prize sums.

Where can we find info about this competition? Who is putting up the prize money? Sorry, but it sounds shady to me...

Seems odd that a competition with such high prize money would ask you to play on a MAME rom on a laptop. As others have said it does sound super dodgy. Not saying it is, but you are probably going to need to provide some more info to avoid the thread being full of posts like this.

Yes unfortunately it is not on the original hardware. I am not able to disclose who is holding the tournament until a later date (mid to later September). There is no ruling against people playing on your behalf or way to verify either way. I am happy discuss more over private message

Of course I understand that it sounds dodgy, I will be able to explain more closer to the tournament date as well as more in private messages. I am not sure how this would be a scam but appreciate that this sounds dodgy

Why? In that case, how did you find out about the compo? I'm a fag paper's thickness away from calling bullsh*t on this.

This is part of a project to bring back retro arcade games with a modern twist. There will be regular ish tournaments with pretty generous prize pools. My hesitancy to giveaway more details is as a result of the first tournament having a limited number of entrants and the initial entry fees are significant (but paid for by myself). I want to have the greatest chance of winning possible. You will not need to pay a penny other than on transport. We can have a contractual agreement to show that I am not playing around and I am serious.

I’m not sure how this could be a scam and would benefit me in any way if it was one. If you are not comfortable with the arrangement then that is fine, just do not apply.

If you're paying a significant entrance fee, then it could be you who is getting scammed. Again, how did you hear about this super-secret compo?

It is not super secret, in fact it wants to be well known. I want it to be a secret so I can get the best players to play on my behalf.
