Don't forget, the contest is THIS FRIDAY NIGHT! Don't forget that this is DIFFERENT than the 5th anniversary contest, which is the 18th but uses the exact same parameters.

I will post the UStream link here once I start broadcasting. I will NOT be on Vent and will pull the numbers and announce them live on the Stream. After acknowledgment that you guys have heard the number, I will pull the next one.

Remember, first person to get 3 numbers wins the $150!

Hey, I was informed tonight that I will be busy tomorrow evening. Can someone proxy for me?
Are you asking me if you can do that or are you asking for someone to help you out? Because you totally can do that.
 
PM me your numbers if you need someone to proxy for you; I'm already helping out one forumite, no reason I can't check a few lists simultaneously.
 
Were numbers for this passed out? I got the 5th anniversary ones.

It's doubtful I'll be available this evening, though.
I sent your numbers to you on April 1st. Check your PMs and if you didn't get them, I will definitely send them again.

@Dave, as the Holder of the Lists, can I automatically proxy for someone who can't show up or would you rather they found someone else?
 
Everyone has 1 entry per $ they donated, up to a max of 20.
This post below by you lists some people as having 25. Though your first post did say 20.

Okay, donations are now off. The site is paid for 6 months and here's the breakdown for the contest entries:

  • evilmike - 25 entries
  • Espy - 20
  • Tiger Tsang - 10
  • Tinwhistler - 20
  • Frank - 20
  • Sparhawk - 10
  • Yoshimickster - 15
  • Chad Sexington - 20
  • Just Me - 20
  • Grub - 20
  • Tress - 25
  • Ravenpoe - 20
That's 225 total entries. Now, here's how the contest is going to be run and information about the prize. Right now the adsense is up to about $140 (I can't give exact amounts as this would violate the TOS and possibly get me banned), so I'll be rounding to either $140 - 150, depending on calculations for the last couple days of this month.

  • Each person will be given a number between 1-300 for each entry. These numbers will not necessarily be in any particular order.
  • These numbers will be given out by @Emrys and will NOT be known by me.
  • We will coordinate when the contest will happen, based on maximum availability of the contestants.
  • I will (hopefully) be utilizing UStream to draw (or at least read from my Excel sheet) numbers live online.
  • First person to hit 3 of their numbers wins.
So I need those listed above to give me your best available times. Please make the times in Central, otherwise I'll mess it up.

Yeah, I fucked it up. I don't know if Emrys gave them 20 or 25.[DOUBLEPOST=1397269365,1397269323][/DOUBLEPOST]If nothing else, that gives Evilmike and Tress a slight (very slight) advantage.[DOUBLEPOST=1397269615][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm on the UStream now and will NOT be using the Vent.

Nah. It's only 5 numbers, not 100.[DOUBLEPOST=1397269904,1397269849][/DOUBLEPOST]Let me know if the chat function is not working.
 
Looks like we have a winner, and it's not me, but my mom says I'm a winner.

It was close too, between me and the winner, which I will let Dave post.

Well that was anti-climactic.

@Tinwhistler won the contest with 3 hits in the first 13 numbers!!

117, 218, & 269.

Ravenpoe had 2 already as well. The whole thing took 8 minutes.[DOUBLEPOST=1397272332,1397272282][/DOUBLEPOST]So Tin gets $150 probably around May 1st or whenever the ad money comes in.

Congrats, dude!
