Contest: Newb Gifts (in Contests)


MrC [DodgingTheEvilForgeFees] February 12 2005 8:13 PM EST

Did something like this in CB1 and it seemed to work well enough so anyway, the way this works is that you send an item to any random newb with the note "Newb gift".

Fill in a Mentor Evaluation. - No they don't have to be an assigned mentor, no you don't have to be a newb, just anyone who helped you out with anything. And judging by the incredible amount of evaluations to this point I'd better mention that it takes about 30 seconds to do, help your mentor win a nice big cash prize and a trophy.

And last of all, post in this thread (if you can't post, just chatmail me).

Yes it's that simple, donate to a newb, nominate your mentor and post! The item you donate can even be a whip.

Prize: 50k + some random items (leather, bows etc).

Winner will be chosen sometime in the next couple of days.

Not exactly how this works, but...

Random gift to a Noob.

I have no proof that I filled out a mentor evaluation, but I did (go ranger!).

And lastly here is my post, which you are reading.

How the heck do you decide a winner for this anyway?

MrC [DodgingTheEvilForgeFees] February 13 2005 10:44 AM EST

I just pick a random person, and yes there's proof that you filled in the mentor evaluation ;) it'd be kind of a dumb idea for me to run the mentor of the month competition and not be able to see the evaluations. ;)

ohh yeah...

If no one else enters do I win?

MrC [DodgingTheEvilForgeFees] February 14 2005 8:39 PM EST

Yeah, you'd win if no one else enters.

Ok people as there's been such a great response to this, you don't have to give a gift to a newb, just fill out a mentor evaluation (takes 30 seconds, that's all) and post here. C'mon, it's an easy 50k!
