Arm Wrestling Competition: Prize No.1 STjimmeh

Since this round began, one feature just seems to remain unpopular. I can imagine you all know what I’m talking about. Even with the addition of rank classes, Arm Wrestling just hasn’t been a big hit for the common player.

But since the arm wrestling updates were added, the feature hasn't witnessed a Super-Heavyweight (a level of 1000+). Thanks to Air, one of our Moderators, a reason for all Bootleggers to try their best and even work harder on their Arm Wrestling skills was created.

The competition was announced on the Off Topic Forum on February 7th, which seems like a long time ago. However, the most qualified users are usually very high ranks and find themselves getting killed in crew wipes or random shootings for various reasons. All the more reason for Air to up the challenge and make the prize a whopping $555,555,555 on the 25th of April.

The wait for an ultimate champion to be crowned wouldn’t be much longer. On the 28th of April, a challenger dared to arm wrestle Air and a champion was born! xDraknightx; heard about the prize when he was at level 700, and with a lot of hard work, trying to get 10 levels up daily, our current Nation Don won the smashing prize and allowed his name to be disclosed. The money was instantly sent, and the bet was still on!

Air, being so kind as to keep this going, announced that a runner-up and third place prize were available. Prizes as big as $111,111,111 for the runner-up and $55,555,555 for third place were announced in the Off Topic Forum thread. Therefore the challenge still goes, giving hope to all the players who were trying hard to get to that 1000th level! Congratulations to xDraknightx for winning, good luck to those of you still playing, and thanks to Air for making this competition happen.
