I think that there should be a ticket system. This is how it should look like:
RED TICKET
By answering a question, you will automatically get a "red ticket" this can help you to achieve blue tickets. 10 RED TICKETS = 1 Blue ticket. OR 25 RED TICKETS = 1 YELLOW TICKET

BLUE TICKET
By achieving a "helpful answer" by another Mahalo member, you win a blue ticket. Blue tickets can also be earned via 10 RED TICKETS. Blue tickets help you to achieve yellow tickets, which enter you into the prize draw. 5 BLUE TICKETS = 1 YELLOW TICKET.

YELLOW TICKET
By achieving a "best answer" to a question, you will get one yellow ticket. These can be entered in for the prize draw. The more yellow tickets, the better the chance of winning. You can get yellow tickets with 5 BLUE TICKETS or 25 RED TICKETS = 1 YELLOW TICKET.

Prize? Tesla Model S
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/teslamodelslive_08_opt.jpg
Maybe some other prizes. For example 2nd = 2000 Mahalo Points. 3rd = 1500 Mahalo Points or something like that.
ADVANTAGES - It will definitely increase people's want to answer. It will be also enjoyable with the tickets.
- With prizes, more people will want to strive to win.
DISADVANTAGES - With so much popularity, it will be some tough competition.

How about highest score this month for answers?
Maybe next month? Still, it would be hard!
Give one to the first five black belts :-) You never said you didn't have to give one to yourself. Put the names in a raffle, and draw out a name.
Nah, we want something where everyone starts on the same day....
Give a Tesla Model S for each black belt. Raise the black belt standard. Require high proficiency scores and require higher point levels.
Other Black Belts should test the skill of the potential Black Belt. The testing should be comprehensive and require no less than 200 questions answer within a weeks period of time.
Reward each Black Belt with a new Tesla, if they win their belt. Require a mandatory waiting period, if they fail to test on time or complete the requirements of the test.

Depends on your primary goal for doing the giveaway but for pure fun get peeps to create a vid showing what lengths they'd go to to win a Tesla.

The goal is to make money.
Give it some BIG custom Mahalo/Mahalo Answers decals. Have people ask questions from different parts of the country. Have the winner drive to the asker (with a great question) to provide them a great answer. Advertising on the road, making a lot of drivers curious about what Mahalo Answers is, could result in a lot more questions!!!
Now how to come up with that winner:
Even though March Madness is quickly coming to a close, you could have Mahalo Madness. The top 64 users could be put into a bracket based upon rank. Each match-up between two people would include a question assigned to that pair. The person with the best answer (most votes) moves on to the next round. Obviously the community will vote.
Having consistent helpful answers through a number of rounds will prove who the best community members are.

I think you should do something which will encourage both new and existing users to be active on Mahalo answers. I see three ways to accomplish this goal:
1. You could give it to the first person to reach black belt, or any other high ranking. This would lead to a small percentage of people already in the system attempting to answer as many questions as possible to get the prize.
2. You could give it to the first person to increase their points by a certain amount by a certain date. This would entice non-members to join Mahalo for the competition, as it would level the playing field. The problem with this approach is that after a week or two, a person who had just found out about the competition would probably not bother joining Mahalo because it would still be too difficult to catch up to those in the lead.
3. You could say that you were planning on selecting a random answer (or best answer) to any question between the date you announce the competition and the date you ended the competition, and the person whose answer you selected would get the Tesla Model S. In this situation every answer to a question is, in essence, a lottery ticket. Even the person who just signed up to Mahalo the day before the competition ended could win the Tesla Model S, though a person posting amazing answers for months would have a much larger chance of winning. This would probably bring in the most users over time. The biggest problem with this approach is that it might generate more insignificant answers to questions, which is why only helpful or best answers should be considered.
Personally I'd go with #3. It would increase your user base most noticeably while still giving people who are more active an advantage over those who are not as active.

You could give it away in a random lottery. You're familiar with the legal ramifications of doing something like that as you've given away Dash GPS units before, so that wouldn't be a problem. However, it would be somewhat disheartening to those who work very hard at making Mahalo a great community.
Call me old fashioned (and greedy), but I think an essay contest on why they should be awarded the Tesla would be the best way to offer it. This allows anyone to be able to win the prize (thus not discouraging lower belts from further contributions to Mahalo), but it also requires people to actually make an effort to win, which would probably tip the odds toward those with the higher belts, as they've already shown a willingness to work hard.

How do you feel about a random lottery where the pool is "best answers" rather than users, so that the more active users, who post good content, are given an advantage over those who aren't as active?
@ckinniburgh A lottery where each "best answer" was a lottery ticket would be an amazing idea.... and was something I was thinking about.
@jasoncalacanis about the Tesla: Mahalo Answers is more than "best answers". The community that you are developing around ALL of the answers and subsequent discussions make using a "best answer" lottery disingenuous.
Keep up the good work. Make sure to get on Leno with this one.

Lotteries are a rip off. People waste huge amounts of money betting on astronomical low odds of ever winning. The Jackpot mentality plagues our society. People want a miracle win that will save them. It won't happen, hopefully they get smart, and decide not too play. (Enders Game)
A lottery idea is the best one I can see. Every time you get chosen as a "best Answer," you get a ticket. Hopefully that would encourage better answers, more than just an influx of crappy ones.

I agree with this general line of thinking... it's what I was considering.
I would be concerned that something like this would result in some people trying to game the system with multiple accounts and/or friends trying to help them out. I assume there are already some features in place to prevent this sort of thing (other than the environment being a self-correcting one)... but when you increase the reward significantly, you increase the motivation to manipulate the system.
@emmess - Mahalo pays attention to people who are gaming the system by making fake accounts etc. So this will not be a problem.
cjd - like I said... "I assume there are already some features in place to prevent this sort of thing" -- so then what exactly is it that you are refuting?
Anyways, I assume that Mahalo's ability to detect fake accounts and gaming the system is limited. They could find accounts utilizing the same IP address, but some limited use of that could just as easily be the same family, a business network, etc. Obviously during this period if lots of the same accounts continuously vote on answers from the same person -- that is a key -- in addition, it may be another tip of the hat if these accounts arn't participating in many other ways. However, it would be fairly easy to get around that sort of detection by logging on multiple times from multiple places, and participating from each a little bit.
However, as I said, "but when you increase the reward significantly, you increase the motivation to manipulate the system. " -- we're talking about a prize that may be worth between $50,000 and $90,000. If the time period is relatively short and the outcome controllable by the people entering, that might make it worth the time for some people to spend a lot of time trying to win by in effect, 'cheating'.

@emmess, you say "some people trying to game the system with multiple account and/or friends out. I assume there are already some features".
I am saying that it is nearly impossible to game on Mahalo without being found out. If Mahalo suspects gaming, they may take certain measures. People, of course, will try and manipulate the system but then Mahalo will have to prepared to take that risk and be able to prevent gaming from happening.
Cheating will always happen emmess, especially as you say, the prize is more significant. However, I believe that Mahalo would be prepared for anything that would happen as a result of a "lottery" on Mahalo.

Yes, there is a chance folks might try and game the system more if we had a big prize like this. However, we have a really easy time figuring out who is gaming the system based on our technology, the community and our transparency.
If we do a raffle style contest, and this is something we have to do a LOT of legal research on, we are going to do it over some extended period (say 1-12 months). This means that there could/would be hundred to thousands of people entering the contest.
Anyone who gets into the top of the leader-board for the contest is going to get reviewed by the rest of the community. If someone were to file a complaint that means the person would risk be disqualified.... and that's a really, really bad thing to have happen.
I'm amazed at the lack of gaming in the system in some ways, but I think that our top 100 users set a tone of fairness, helpfulness and trust that is impossible for anyone to break in the long term.
Short term? Well, anyone can come in and make some noise... but we identify them quickly, give them a chance to correct and if all else fails we simply "vanish" them. I love that term.... "vanish." If only we could vanish people in the real world who behaved badly.... wasn't there a twilight zone episode based on that?!?!

I guess that would depend on what you would like to encourage as excellent "Mahalo behavior". Maybe a scavenger hunt for correct answers to tough questions? Exceptional kindness to a crank?
Or...you could give it to a woman who lives the alternative energy lifestyle, loves amazing cars, would be fascinated with the techology and lives in Fiddletown, CA. Just sayin'...

I agree, if it were given away based on green habits, you and your off-the-grid living self would totally pwn all of us.
Have the give away in 9 months, and as a lottery. To qualify users must have attained the level of yellow belt.
Basicly have a hurdle that anyone could overcome. And would create mass buzz building up to it.
Have Ed McMann hand the keys to the winner.
Have a very well done, subtle Mahalo design theme to the car that would show the proper honor to a tesla (as opposed to a pay per post spammy feel)

Mahalo Style. A contest:
Like a rally with different stages
- Why is Tesla Model S better than my car? 5 reasons
- Where would you go on a Tesla Model S? 3 destinations with specific directions
- What does Tesla Model S mean?
The highest score wins

One year ago the same car would have cost 90k. Today after rebates it sells for less than 50k. That is alot of money, but a significant reduction in price. Rich trend people like the bragging rights of the EV and its amazing electric acceleration.

You should give it away to the first passenger in your Tesla Roadster who showed up when nothing was being given away. But it should be wrapped in Mahalo decals. Maybe even a scrolling screen showing the latest Mahalo Answers question and top Mahalo Daily stories.
How about you randomly pick someone who answers this question, and by randomly you just pick the writer of the answer.... I really want it, just about to get my license, and am a strong advocate and passionate about Tesla...
Or if you don't like that you could do a Raffle, But I really would love to have it....

I'd consider avenues of selection that increase the probability of the winning individual promoting Tesla, Green alternatives and Mahalo. Make it a reward, but make sure it goes to an individual who is eager to share information about the site and the product and won't just say, "sweet...thanks" and then vanish off the radar again.
I would like to see a contest that involves every user equally and doesn't require any special skills or hardware. I also don't think it should be given away strictly based on number of points or best answers.
Something like post a picture of yourself next to your current car and write a brief story as to why the new tesla would be perfect for you. Most people don't have the time or skills to make an extravagant video so a simple still shot is a decent compromise. This also doesn't reward immense amounts of free time like other possible contests (most points in a week for example).
A simple lottery, although fair, seems like the easy way out and having a couple sentences from the story could be given to the press along with pictures with the previous and new cars.
The only drawback I see in my own suggestion is that not everybody wants their face in a picture on the web. Allowing users to blur their faces unless they win seems like a fair compromise though. If you don't have a car, just use your neighbor's ;)

Offer the Tesla S to @ev in exchange for the top rating on the Twitter recommended list. Haha.

You could use the "pay it forward" method. For those that want to be in the contest to win the Tesla Model S, they will have to submit an essay where if they were to win, how would they pay it forward to someone else for their good fortune? A type of Mahalo Angels if you will.

Point I own a 1989 mazda 929 that leaks oil, fuel, power steering fluid and has no ac just to name the main stuff. My sunroof does not open or close without yanking it the windows don't move the doors don't open except the drivers one. It slips gear,s rattles at idle and takes a muscle man to turn. All this and the interior is dry rotted. I make $9.98/hour at a job with no respect. So I say me choose me to give it away too LOL.

While advertising your site with an admirable new car sounds great, aren't there some big catches? I understood that the Tesla was only going to be available in California because that's where there would be supporting services. And the price is so high most if not all the potential winners would not be able to pay the income tax they would have to pay after having won it. Nor the sales/use tax of their state or the insurance on such a car. Maybe a lesser green car would be a better prize?
Facetiously: The longest, wordiest answers!
Seriously: We're talking about rewarding this thing on merit, which is a comfortable idea. However, the terms should be judiciously distributed so that there aren't inherent advantages to one party or parties. Where some individuals have great amounts of time to post, others choose to spend their time doing other things. Where you can't penalize the diligent for their dedication, others may feel that they have contributed as much of themselves as they could given the time they had available. In this spirit, mahalo needs to ask:
do we want lots of users, or a dedicated corps? One way is to reward users regardless of time use, for the good of sharing knowledge, while the other is to reward a more consistent motivational dedication. That's what an employer does, isn't it?
Mahalo could likely pay a group of people to provide killer answers, but it may not have the diversity of authority that the current paradigm of scattered respondents provides- it's purpose, i'd say. Further, Mahalo's answer / helpful answer/ best answer format allows many opinions and ideas to be displayed, showcasing the varied cultural responses to our questions.
so, where it would increase traffic, I'm not sure incentivizing the site with a cool car by rewarding super posters will get as much benefit as making it a more national move by making it democratic.
Yep. The mahalo community will decide who gets the car. Like above, 9 months, non mathematic. Users nominated will get a new "Tesla Candidate" page where people can view things like activity, answers, best answers and- activity before the contest started, as some people would possibly like to reward dedication to the site already shown. Provocative questions should be rewarded as they are the origin, the reason of the site. Also, the essay could be included on that page, if that idea is popular. The users will pick the individual(s) who best exemplifies the purpose and ability of the format and demonstrates the utility of the site. As long as the system prevents gamers, which it easily could and wouldn't likely be voted through anyway, I would be satisfied with a reward by a jury of my peers!
also: runners up with less costly greenmobiles is another great idea. Takes the winner take all part out of it and will broaden interest and motivation. I bet Honda would just LOVE some free marketing for its new Insight!
great ideas folks!

You should find the most selfless, non-materialistic person you can find (I keep thinking about the Dalai Lama), get them to ask a question here, and then let them pick the best answer, where the tip is the car.

Give away a one year lease. The media attention would be equal to giving away a Tesla, but a fraction of the cost. Wire is promoting Tesla and WSJ ran an article on the car.
Reasons:
1. A lease is tax deducible
2. The car could have the Mahalo logo on it
3. The Tesla Model S is cool enough vehicle for thousands
You could award five Tesla Model S leases for a year verses one vehicle gift.
Small and frequent rewards have bigger impacts than large awards when motivating people to action.
Don't use a casino model.
Use a reward model. Reward one of you newest black belts with the car and let everyone know about it. Or better yet, reward every new black belt with a new Tesla. If you move away from the reward system, it will attract the wrong crowd.

Do casino economies work? The biggest problem with Casino is the cost for infrastructure and the immorality of gaming someones hard earned money. Casino's don't force people to game, but the odds are favorable that many of the contestants will lose their money. The splendor of the business requires strong borrowing, opulent structures, and massive foot traffic. Hotels and casinos require high percentages of attendance too pay their bills. It seems like the Tesla Model S is attempting to attract crowds, borrow large amounts of money, for a chance to break even and more likely lose money.
Pulling bars hoping for a big payout is cruel. It will mislead people into believe that they can become rich by playing Mahalo. Mahalo will look like a online casino rather than a social network. I think it is a bad idea.

As much as I like the car, it's too nice and expensive for me. I'd just feel awkward and wouldn't drive it. If I won it I'd sell it and use the money to make sure my gf finishes her Phd. That's much more important to me than a car.
