change the game?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the mentoring I'm sure will be great but if you can pull off a game like its trailed, you don't need that". Everyone can use advice. Even the best designers can use advice.

To mount any significant fundraising event, you need to do an awful lot of unpaid work. This is exactly the same. And the winning team will get all the credit.

"meanwhile the organisers themselves get coverage in blogs and press and the like for tiny cost and they happen to have a startup company to promote."

Not only is this cynical, but it's completely inaccurate. LCTG has nothing whatsoever to do with Six to Start. It began before Six to Start was formed, and the website only mentions it in my bio. The competition was founded by me.

Would you rather LCTG not exist? Do you think that the volunteers are being exploited? I am donating £1000 - that's $2000 - of my own money to go into the development of the ARG. I was initially going to donate it directly to charity, but I decided that I could leverage it in this way to raise even more money.
