Jace's Race to Space Challenge v4
Jace's Race to Space

Welcome. For the fourth time in as many years almost on the anniversary of the first time I did this I've decided to undertake my own personal gold-earning challenge. I decided to do it first in mid-september of 2008. It took me a whopping forty-eight days to complete through exchanging. The second time I started in mid-April of 2009 and cut my time by two-thirds to complete it in sixteen days through a combination of exchanging and vending. The third time in January 2012 I completed it in just under eight days. This time I'd like to do it even faster. The rules are the same. What's at stake is my pride. And maybe I'll have some fun while I'm at it. To view the original challenge text click on this.

The following are the rules as I set them out in 2008:


Rules
1) I will not accept donations in my race to space challenge.
2) I will not sell anything which I currently own in order to obtain gold for my challenge (because that would be too easy).
3) I will not obtain Gaia Cash and use it as a means of gaining gold while I am on this challenge.
4) I will not open any sort of shop (art, writing, signs, Game Item, etc.) as a means to earn gold for the duration of this challenge.
5) I will not participate in contests in which I could earn gold for the duration of this challenge.
6) I will not use a mule account to farm gold for this challenge.
7) I will not hold a "panty auction" type of event as I construe this as a form of receiving donations.
8 ) I will not solicit any loans of any kind.
9) May add more impositions as I think of them.
