The OFFICIAL "TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY Giveaway Contest" **RULES & INFORMATION**

Hi :)
I'm still relatively new around here, but I'm running a contest... And it's open to ALL BLADEFORUMS.com MEMBERS (except me). :D

Here's how it works:

I'm giving up on my raffle contest for charity idea. Can't seem to get it running where it would do the most good, which would've been here... BUT... I BEG each and every one of you to give to your favorite charitable organization(s) this Holiday season until ya feel the squeeze. Think of all of those who are out there hungry, lonely, cold, scared, away from home, (especially in the service of our home nations), or otherwise suffering during the holiday season. Think about how a few toys, blankets, jackets, cans of food, CASH, clothing, KNIVES, etc. donated from all of us could make so many others happier and safer.

So... In an effort to SPARK some kindness towards others in a 'pay it forward' sort of fashion, I will instead GIVE away the following prizes in a standard lottery style drawing to be determined by the OHIO STATE LOTTERY ( www.ohiolottery.com ) "PICK 4" EVENING DRAWING ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2nd., 2006:

Grand prize: One (1) New, unused Busse 'Skeleton Game Warden' Knife, Choice of HogTag & Lanyard, free insured shipping INCLUDING TO international locations.
2nd Prize: Choice of 2 HogTags & 2 lanyards, free shipping
3rd Prize: Choice of 1 HogTag & 1 Lanyard, free shipping
4th Prize: Choice of 1 HogTag OR 1 Lanyard, free shipping
5th Prize: Choice of lanyard, free shipping

I will open a new thread in the Busse Combat Forum on Friday, November 24th, 2006 entitled, "TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY Giveaway Contest ENTRY THREAD", at some point in the evening after 6:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
To ENTER, POST on the contest thread (NOT this rules & info thread. ALL numbers posted here will not be eligible unless you post them on the CONTEST ENTRY thread.) with your chosen contest entry number. YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONTEST ENTRY NUMBER MUST BE POSTED ON THE OFFICIAL CONTEST ENTRY THREAD BY NO LATER THAN 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1st., 2006. ONLY POSTS WITH ONE CHOSEN NUMBER PER BladeForums.com MEMBER FROM '0001' through '9999' WILL BE ELIGIBLE for this GIVEAWAY contest. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE NUMERICAL FORMAT For ENTRY IS: "****". FOR EXAMPLE if you choose ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE as your entry number, IT MUST BE POSTED AS "0123". (Without the quotation marks is acceptable and valid.) NO PURCHASE REQUIRED. MULTIPLE POSTS W/ CHOSEN NUMBERS WILL IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFY YOU, EVEN if I find out AFTER the contest is over AND ALL WINNERS have already BEEN ANNOUNCED. (In the event of a disqualification, the next runner-up will advance one position, and those ranking behind this next runner-up will all advance one position until all prizes have been awarded.) Ya wanna post on the contest thread more than once? Make sure only one post has a number in it. THE 5 EARLIEST ENTERED POSTS CONTAINING THE WINNING NUMBER, and/or THE CLOSEST NUMBER(S) TO THE WINNING NUMBER GETS THE HIGHEST AVAILABLE PRIZE. WINNERS will be determined by CLOSEST NUMBER FIRST, EARLIEST TIMESTAMP SECOND. ONE prize per winning BF.com member only.
I will not be liable for lost or misdirected packages, BUT I WILL HELP IN EVERY WAY I CAN TO RECOVER IT. This contest is open to all BladeForums.com members EXCEPT ME. :D

CONTEST bttt...

May I ask if someone could make this thread 'sticky' until approx. 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time, December 1st., so that all BF.com members who wish to enter this NO PURCHASE OR OBLIGATION required Lottery GIVEAWAY Contest are made aware of this Contest (which again is OPEN TO ALL BF.com MEMBERS except ME... But I'll take a guess, for no prize or influence of outcome, of course. LOL), and its RULES AND CONDITIONS, please? Thank you.

ENTRY THREAD

There are already four pages to search to see if somebody else picked your number first.... :)

Duplicate numbers will all still be valid. DON'T PANIC!! LOL Duplicate entries will then be decided by earliest posting timestamp, if necessary. ...Although I may need Spark's help in determining that since visible timestamps are in minutes only (for ME anyway!), and I may need a more accurate ruling. :thumbup: :)
If there's a tie situation unthought of, then I'll let the next night's pick 4 determine the winner of a tie. Should be pretty darn unlikely, mathematically speaking. ( I hope!)
Jaxx:cool:
 
Even if two posts choosing the same number have the same timestamp everybody can see which came first in the thread. The board has to put one first so there can't be a tie.

If you choose a number someone else has already chosen you're putting yourself out of the running for first prize.

Use the "search this thread" button -- it's cool! :cool:
