Well, folks, the 5 year anniversary was put on hold because of Mikko's sickness and passing. I'd had something planned, but put it on the backburner for obvious reasons.
Well, it's back on.
Rules:
Let me try and answer all questions here.
How do we know you won't pick a favorite? I won't have access to the numbers. @Emrys is going to be picking them randomly and sending them to you. I'll have NO IDEA who has what numbers.
Do I have to be present to win? No. Emrys will be there for verification and she will know who the winner is, even if they aren't there. Of course, it'll be more fun if you are there!
Do I have to do anything else? Nope. Just say you are interested and show up.
Who is eligible? Any Halforumite PAST OR PRESENT who has been registered before today. Alts do not count and since I will have to get your personal information to give a prize, I think I'll find out if you gamed the system.
What is the prize? Ready for this?
Is this different from the other donation contest? Yes. This is the 5th anniversary contest, not the donations contest.
If I'm in the donations contest, can I join this one? Hell yeah!
How can you afford to do this? Well, I wasn't planning on saying, but I feel you deserve to know. The reason I hadn't planned on it will become obvious. Mikko left me money in his will. I didn't find out about it until fairly recently. He specifically said that it's for me and not Halforums, but I can't just ignore you guys in this. I'm not going to say how much, but it was a good bit of money. I just got word today that the transfer has gone through, so it should hit my account in the next 3-5 business days. If this ruffles any feathers, I'm sorry. It's nothing I expected, either.
I'll be closing this thread sometime early next week to give everyone a chance to get in on this. Please note that if you are over seas I'll probably do the cash value as shipping costs are horrible. Or we can order from Amazon.timuktu or whatever.
Any further questions will be answered by updating this first post.
And it's over! The winners are:
Well, it's back on.
Rules:
- Respond to this thread with the words: I'm IN! (or something else to that effect that makes it obvious)
- Get your numbers.
- Be lucky when we hold the contest on April 18 at 10 PM CT.
