Instead of doing weekly contests I will now be doing monthly. The reasons for this are that it usually takes longer than a week for enough threads to get highly-rated, and we won't end up with so many repeat winners so close together. This gives other people a chance.

Contest will officially start on the 1st of each month.

I'll leave this thread open to hear your ideas.

Also as a heads up, the Q2 Worst Poster of the Year thread will happen in about two weeks.


Prizes:

1st - Choose one:
  • Give out a week probation
  • Give custom avs to 2 posters
  • Have 2 threads stuck for a week
  • Special surprize prize from the head honchos at corporate
  • gnarly's secret special winning gift
2nd - Choose one:
  • Give out a 3 day probation
  • Give a custom av to 1 poster
  • Have 1 thread stuck for 3 days
  • Special surprize prize from the head honchos at corporate
  • gnarly's secret special winning gift
3rd - Choose one:
  • Give out a day probation
  • Give yourself a custom av
  • Have 1 of your threads stuck for 1 day
  • Special surprize prize from the head honchos at corporate
  • gnarly's secret special winning gift

How will the prize structure change?

It won't. Unless I have some compelling reason to change it.

With potentially a lot more votes does that matter if they vote for their own thread?

I remember some got disqualified for being that dumb before

That rule hasn't been in effect for the past 3 weeks or so.

The worst rated poster thing is a bad idea unless it's an 11year probation, FYI you're just enabling them otherwise

Seems to have worked out ok with redshirt

Since we're transitioning from weekly to monthly, and I've already given out prizes for the first 2 weeks in May, I started this one mid-month (15th). I also updated the OP with the prize lists.

Winners can post their prize choices here.

Is the special prize going to be the same special prize I got earlier or a different one?

Different, of course. It wouldn't be very special if it was the same every time.

I, too, pick Gnarly's secret prize.

You two are getting one-of-a-kind, original, hand-made by :siren:MY GIRLFRIEND:siren:, SA emoticon plushies! That's right, they were made specially for this contest! You will be the envy of friends, neighbors, and posters all over GBS!

Applewhite yours is :3:


Windows 98 your plushie is the :butt:


(sorry for my crappy telephone photo skills)

I have one more of these, so unless our 1st place winner chooses it I'll save it for next month.

Guess that wraps her up on this one. Stay tuned for this month's thread, which will have a little added bonus from the head office.
