The exciting challenge is now at its end. During the last 4 days me and Moonbiter have been decaying blade after blade in search of what is known as Melee Damage Assessment. Many Feffoids, Argonauts, Maffoids, Snablesnots and similar have felt the wrath of our uncontrolled blows. This is the story of drugs (coffeine and nicotine), success and the cost of those two. 
The winner
Moonbiter unlocked MDA 8 minutes before I did and is therefore declared the winner of our MDA quest! He recieved the prize of 100 peds a couple hours later:
Overall results
Like written above the challenge took 4 days in the end for each of us to gain 5 levels in Swordsman (Dmg). I did not bother to document all my costs during the challenge for some reason, but Moonbiter did. I would say the end result is pretty much the same although Moonbiter did burn through more Longblades during the challenge. My skill gain was a lot quicker since I had higher skills in Anatomy among others, but my return was quite a lot worse per hunt.
Moonbiter reported a loss of 1177.98 peds during the challenge. Although I didn't document my hunts in detail my losses were close to 1.2k peds, in other words around the same. The main reason for the return being so low may be because we used Katsuichi Honor's which are definitely not efficient at our level. It might also be because there was an official event with Eomon HoF's all over the place.
Detailed results for Moonbiter
Total peds lost: 1177.98
Skill value gained w/o esi (this would be the cost to chip up the skills i gained paying peauction prices): 1027.54
Skill value w esi: 627.71 (That's what i will get after chipout, though ET calculates and peauction, i found these figures to be pretty accurate during the last chipdown, cause the higher real skill value is absorbed by auction fees, inserter decay, a bit higher esi price and the fact that you get only 90% of the chip tt estimated, due to those 10% lost while extracting).
TT of blades burned (5098.94)
Total return in tt (4108.09)
Total additional value (429.08)
Return in tt: 80.56%
Return with ad: 88.98%
Note, this does not include armor/fap decay, which in in total was 232.72.
Now, skills:
Strength: 30.15 --> 46.03
HP: 119 --> 122
total skills: 67 985 --> 72 998
LB: 1042 --> 2731

Me and Moonbiter decided to start a friendly challenge between us two. The first one to unlock Melee Damage Assessment before monday will win a sum of 100 peds (donated by the loser). At the start of the challenge we both had around 13 in Swordsman (dmg) and MDA unlocks at around 18 according to Entropedia.info.
If no one wins the challenge we are both punished by having to buy a full SK-20 each and heal newbies in Port Atlantis Swamp Camp until the FAP's die out. We wouldn't wanna have to spend the rest of our lives there so we're doing our best to skill up.

Exciting... you bet!
