Re: The last person to Post here wins! (now with Prizes!)

ok well as you all know this thread is still running. that means there was a problem with having it closed. This is bad news for me, but good news for you. I have decided that the prizes will be awarded based on the last posts prior to the new year as per the original outline. Since this is still running however I will add another $30 HMV gift card to the pot once/if this thread is closed to the winner then.
Winners from the new years eve date will be contacted shortly (give me a week or so) and then I will try to get the prizes mailed out asap for you.
Unforutunatly, unless more prizes are donated I can not offer prizes for second and third place or sprints for the continuation of this thread, but original prizes will be sent out to those who won them new years eve.
Congrats to everyone who won and good luck to everyone who might still win. (although I hope this thread keeps going for a long time to come... we are only a few thousand posts away from being the longest thread ever in the history of TA!
So... people won, thread is still going, more people can still win, keep posting.
This was the most fair way I could think of doing this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Ok new point to this thread:
The goal is to be the last person to post in this thread.
The person who is victorious will recieve a $20 HMV gift card. The prize will be bumped to a $25 HMV card at 2000 posts and $30 when this thread hits 4000 posts. I'll look into more prizes as the thread stays open longer. (there will be more on the line then and hence it makes sense that there should be greater incentives for playing)
2nd place prize is $10 in Starbucks gift certificates
3rd place prize is $5 in Tim Hortons gift certificates
both generously by RabbitJoker
another prize has been donated by preppie chick
3rd place prize also recieve a $5 Second Cup gift certificate.
Moderators are ineligible and asked not to play favorites when they decide to close this thread at some random time in the future (not yet!).
The thread will randomly be closed at some point prior to New Years (Toronto Time).
Again, everyone should know that the longer this thread lasts and the more people that play the higher the stakes will become. I will add more prizes as time goes on and leave the nature of the prizes from here on open to some debate within reasonable grounds (keeping in mind I'm not made of money or prizes)
This is only open to residents of Canada since I'm not going to pay for postage any further if I'm already going broke on the $20 HMV card. And you must have been registered on TA by yesterday's date. (Nov 21 2005)
You may post as many times as you wish in your battle to be the last one to post.
THIS JUST ADDED!
We are also now running this a bit like the Tour de France and have sprint stages!
They are at every 50 posts from now on in this thread. This goes for the first 500 posts and then switches over to every 100 posts. I will keep tally in this first post, of the stage winners. The individual with the most stage wins will also get a prize at the end!
in the matter of a tie it will be left to the person (of those tied with winning stage credits at the end) who can PM me the fastest once the thread is closed. I'll work out the prize over the week/end and let you know shortly.

Note: While I am responsible for the main prizes for the overall winner and the overall sprint champion titles, I am not repsonsible for other prizes unless they are in my possesion when the contest ends. I have the donors words that they will follow through and they will be contacted at the end of the contest with the winners mailing info. Beyond that my responsiblities end.
We are always looking for more sponsors to get the prizes bigger and better. If you feel you can contribute then please PM me.
Good luck to you all.

Original post
Does anyone else hate ending up being the last post on a page?
I mean you were one post away from being at the top of the next page and lets face it only half of you actually read the last post in detail so no matter what you're saying in that post it's practically deemed only 50% as valuable as the one imediately following it.
I'm going to start deleting my posts that end up at the bottom of pages and then repost 10 seconds late to be at the top of the next.
ps: it's my idea so if anyone deletes thier posts and bumps mine to the bottom of the previous page I'm not going to be your friend anymore. ....unless you're really cool.
by the way this point is only 50% valuable anyway, even with it being the first post on a page... it's really quite usless in the greater scheme of things. |
BOOOOOOOO I haven;t won anything yet;(
