Hey, Mike and Spark! When's the Giveaway Drawing?

[UglyJim]

I just noticed that it's after midnight on the first day of the month...isn't this about the time that numbers are usually solicited for the monthly giveaway drawings? That Wharncliffe Fighter sure is purty...

I guess I'm just paranoid because I missed the drawing last month

. I'm usually not an impatient man, but I've been overcome by my lust for new cutlery...

 

[TimmyTheTalkingToilet]

I sortof want to know why, the tension is still ripping through me like bad Taco Bell food

<drumming fingernails on desk>

I'm tired. I want to enter, win my knife, and go to sleep.

 

[Spark]

Ooops! Knew I forgot something! Darn it!

yeah me too.....

 

[Stompy]

Last month he opened up the "give-away knife drawing" thread a few minutes after I signed off...

Hey, I don't mean to be rude, and I don't think I'd stand a very good chance at winning the knife, but it has become a personal goal of mine to at least participate.

Sorry,

You need to be on-line right at midnight if we can get to it and my cable modem is not out

Anyway the contest is basically over when I get a good match. This one was over fast because for the first time in a long time the winner was not a moderator, dealer or someone who had not made a post.

One month I went through 3 numbers to get to one who had made a post

I'm confused. Is this a random drawing, or what?

 

[Jiantbrane2]

OK, lemme get this straight... I have to be online WHEN you choose? And this is always at appx. 12?

Thanks,
Howie

I'm not laughing AT you. I'm just laughing in your general vicinity in order to make you feel bad about yourself.

This was cleared up in another thread. Basically, each month each member is randomly given a number, from 1 through the number of members. Then, at or around midnight on the last of the month, Mike posts a thread asking for someone to pick a number. That number is then the winning number. The person who picks the number doesn't get anything, except for the honor of picking the number.

Oh, if the member corresponding to the number has not posted in that month, a new number is chosen. So, in order to qualify, post at least once each month.

 

[Mike Turber]

No need to post once each month. And no you do not need to be on-line at 12 Midnight. That was referring to a different question.

I thought that the contest was designed not to reward lurkers, though. You don't filter out people who don't post much? Sniff sniff. I wanna win a knife. <pout>.
I suppose there's nothing to complain about. After all, I could be paying to use this site. There doesn't have to be a contest.

You know what, thank you guys for the site. Thanks for putting in what I know to be large amounts of time. That's all I have to say. I'm done complaining.

[Stompy]

You said it man! Of course, it is possible to have the honor of picking your own number

.

Anyway, I've missed the contest every month I've been a member, it doesn't matter if I win or not...but I'm gonna make it this month!!!
