Introduction: Earlier this year, my first 1,000,000,000 gambling game was completed. 4 contestants - Gheed, Elzix, Alkor and Anya, pilfered, plundered and robbed me of every penny of my life savings, hoping to win the title: Sultan of Sanctuary. Ultimately even 1 billion gold was not enough and a sudden death elimination round was needed to crown a victor. Finally, after nearly half a year of feeding the unholy gambling addition, forumites from all across the SPF cheered and jeered as Elzix was appointed Sultan of Sanctuary with a final score of 7!
But alas no sultan rules forever. As the days darken, all is not well in Sanctuary and a new evil has come to threaten the bearer of this opulent title. From the darkest depths of the netherworld, an evil has surfaced which would threaten the very balance of nature. What could possibly be more evil than the 4 gambling horsemen of the previous game you ask? That title belongs to none other than this pestilent filth:
Having heard of the near endless greed of his counterparts, Nihlathak has been brooding ever since he was so heartlessly excluded from the first competition. Now he vows to consume every piece of gold ever dropped in Sanctuary to strip Elzix of his title, while providing 'just enough' to win. And not a penny more!
With this challenge looming, I have once again been blessed (or cursed) with the task of amassing a sum worthy of naming 'my life savings:'
Rules of the "2nd Life Savings Gambling Game:"
Will evil triumph overgood slightly less evil? Will Elzix maintain his streak of seemingly endless piles of garbage with an occasional diamond in the rough? Or will Nihlathak prove once and for all that we "have no idea of the power we face..." Stay tuned to find out!

Rules of the "2nd Life Savings Gambling Game:"
- The gambling npcs Elzix and Nihlathak will be the exclusive competitors of this game
- The gambling npcs will be visited by a level 98 character with a full inventory and stash of gold and holding an Edge bow and a Gheed's grand charm
- All gold will be spent on circlets and coronets until the inventory and stash are exhausted
- This process will repeat 4 times with one npc before moving to the other. Once both npcs have received 4 full inventories+stash of gold each, a "round" will be completed
- If the gambling vendors provide an item *worthy* of being added to the player's collection they will receive a "point"
- "Rounds" will be repeated until all 1,020,000,000 gold is spent or the player's gambling addiction is cured
- The vendor with the most points at the end of the last cycle will be declared the winner!
- +2 Class skills + 20 FCR magic quality
- +2 Class skills + 20 FCR + X rare quality (X can be @res/STR/Dex/etc)
