Since the other thread already has 10,000+ replies, I saw it fit to continue round two in a new thread. Given the size of the prizes involved, of course every round of this contest was always intended to begin from week one again, with the 60 minute duration.
Okay, I have been thinking of a fun way to have a contest just for forum users and here it is:
What are the prizes?
Nintendo DS OR $130 Dollar Amazon.com Gift Card - Dark Essence
Nintendo DS OR $130 Dollar Amazon.com Gift Card - WHO WILL WIN THIS PRIZE?
Nintendo DS OR $130 Dollar Amazon.com Gift Card - WHO WILL WIN THIS PRIZE?
- There is no purchase necessary.
- The winner of this contest will receive one of the prizes as stated above.
The last poster to THIS THREAD will be declared the winner!
What determines the last poster is how much time goes by between posts. It will start at 1 hour between posts. So if 61 minutes go by without someone posting and you were the last post then you win! The time frame will get shorter over time (weekly)! Once we have the first place winner, the contest begins all over again all the way until we have three different winners.
Week 1 - 1 hour without a post
Week 2 - 30 mins without a post [Current]
Week 3 - 15 mins without a post
Week 4 - 5 mins without a post
Week 5 - 3 min without a post
Week 6 - 1 min without a post - Until we have a winner! (The times on this thread will settle any dispute.)
The weeks officialy start on Mondays. ALL TIMES ARE EST (Eastern Standard Time Zone)
Week 2 starts 11/5/2007 at 00:00:01
Week 3 starts 11/12/2007 at 00:00:01 [Current]
Week 4 starts 11/19/2007 at 00:00:01
Week 5 starts 11/26/2007 at 00:00:01
Week 6 starts 12/03/2007 at 00:00:01
When the contest gets down to minutes there will need to be +1 added so that the full time frame passes. For instance if 1 minute must pass then actually 2 will show for a winner and so on. Another example would be if 5 minutes has to pass then a difference of 6 minutes actually need to be reflected.
When you post in this thread, you don't have to say anything meaningful, but it does have to stay within the KHI rules, see http://forums.khinsider.com/showthread.php?t=18876 It would be best to just start chatting. ^_~
From the time you are announced as a winner, you will have 72 hours to claim your prize by sending a PM to myself or spdude.
Thanks and good luck! The Contest Starts Now!!! :thumbsup:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there any time of the day or night where hours are excluded from the contest and a winner may not be declared?
Yes, given the nature of the prizes involved it seems appropriate to exclude the four hours between 2.00 am EST and 6.00 EST. No winner may be declared due to lack of posting within this time frame.
How do you plan on issuing the prizes?
Hard goods will be shipped to winning parties. If for whatever reason that is not feasable or the winner actually would prefer not to have the DS shipped then gift certificates will be emailed.
What if there is a problem, like the website goes temporarily down... in such an event, does the last poster still win?
If there is any trouble for ANY reason, the contest will be placed on hold until the problem passes.
Is the contest open to international participants?
Yes, it sure is!
Can KHI Mods, Super Mods, and Admin compete in this contest?
Everyone can participate, exluding spdude since he is funding the prizes. spdude can however block a winner by posting in thread.
Can I have someone post for me on my account while I get some rest?
No. That wouldn't be fair to everyone else. If you wish to participate, it must only be you posting, using your account. Anyone found to be cheating will automatically be disqualified.
-Rules and Regulations are subject to change.
Edit: if there are outstanding prizes left from previous contests which have not yet been honered (due to my being on vacation during those days or whatever reason), feel free to PM me with link to where you won, and I'll have that prize sent out asap.
