Yes indeed. Sadly enough, I must agree with the previous post. This is very easy to exploit in any of a number of ways. The most common is probably to just take a mage and kill them on normal difficulty, in which you can rack up several hundred, if not a full thousand, in an hour. Not much to it except knowing how to aim fireballs and having good resistances and decent armor if you get sloppy with teleports.
It seems your challenge may have been for Warriors only (the only mentioned characters were Warriors, I believe), which would make it quite a bit slower, if not harder. Yet even this facet can be circumvented. As said before, one can kill thousands of Blood Knights with the mage, log out, and return with the Warrior on Hell difficulty.
There is also a definite advantage, though this isn't really breaking your rules, to those who can leave their application on overnight.
So in order to run this contest, you will have to either
-allow all of these shortcuts.
-set up stringent rules and use the "honor system".
-have designated observers? I don't know if you'd get volunteers here, but it seems the easiest way to run this.
Perhaps there is someone out there with more technical knowledge who can make this contest a reality. The only way I know of to fix some of those would be a mod, and I don't want to even think about asking someone to do that.
