[Giveaway] New Years Eve Event

Discussion in 'Public Member Events' started by ShelLuser, Dec 31, 2017.

  1. Hi gang,

    This event has ended!

    I've been told that it's around 12AM in Tokyo, Japan (time of writing) and that suddenly gave me an idea. Let's do a Newyears eve event (no, I'm not stuttering :D)!

    Intro

    Here's the thing: I primarily use my alt (TheOtherShell, formerly known as GripCEO) as a piggy bank to hold onto the GRIP money. I obviously also vote to prevent derelictism (and sporadically take him online) and although I do keep some voting rewards (such as diamonds & emeralds) I've never been into using my alt to gain advantages. Heck, these days I don't care that much about profits at all anymore. A fun mining or building session with some of my friends? You can't buy that with rupees anyway :)

    SO...

    Give away prizes

    Here's your chance to win either one or all of these promos (hasn't been decided on yet):
    • Santa's magic (goodie) bag
    • Vixen
    • Stuffing Scooper
    Event

    Right now it's 10AM EMC time. Which gives us 14 hours before midnight, and thus also 14 hours before the end of this event.

    This event ended on January first, 0:01 EMC time

    How to enter

    As always with these things... Post a response. The number of your message will count as your entry number, and I'll get random.org to pick a winner (or winners).

    But there's more...

    Instead of the usual AMA ("Ask Me Anything") let's do a LMAYS instead! What's that you wonder? Simple really: Let Me Ask You Something :D

    What is your favorite number?

    Now why would I ask something like that? I dunno, probably the end of the weekend or the end of the current year. All shall be revealed "soon".

  2. Super cool giveaway! My favorite number will have to be 9.18 :D
  3. Awesome giveaway, thanks TheOtherShelLuser .... ;)

    My favourite number is 38, and to be honest, I still don't know exactly why... :p I do believe that it started around 5 years ago. At that time, my favourite number was 11, but for some reason I slowly switched to 38, and haven't changed since. :)

  4. Hi! My favorite number is 2! I also want to say thanks for donating to my outpost!
  5. Liking the new idea of "LMAYA" hahahaha. Sounds funny when you actually say it though ahaha.

    Anyways, my favorite number is 8. Not sure why though. Think I just heard some people say it was a lucky number and I've just thought of it that was ever since.

  8. Thanks for the giveaway Shel, Happy New Year :D
    My favourite number has to be 7
  9. Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite number has always been my current age, why you ask? because why not. I'm not ashamed of it and if I'm honest I'm rather proud of it. So with that in mind I ask for 53.

  10. Favorite number is 12. 12 is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13. The product of the first three factorials, twelve is a superior highly composite number, divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6. It is central to many systems of counting, including the Western calendar and units of time, and frequently appears in the Abrahamic religions. Twelve is a sublime number, a number that has a perfect number of divisors, and the sum of its divisors is also a perfect number.[9] Since there is a subset of 12's proper divisors that add up to 12 (all of them but with 4 excluded), 12 is a semiperfect number. If an odd perfect number is of the form 12k + 1, it has at least twelve distinct prime factors. I could go on all day but will leave it here. Wait, I was also born on the 12th. That might actually be the reason I guess. Do I win now?

  17. Thank you so much for doing this Shell. :) My favorite number would have to be my go to number 7. Also hope you have a happy New Years!!
  18. THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER

    Also:

    Happy newyear!

    So I count message ID's 2 - 17. I'll have to disqualify Aya for not sharing a favorite number ( :D ) which leaves me with ID's 2 - 16. So 15 relevant entries in total.

    To avoid confusion: Subtract 1 (= my post) from your post number (see lower right corner) to get your entry number but subtract 2 (= both Aya & my posts) if your post is below Aya's. Only applies to the General above this post, but oh well ;)


    TomvanWijnen => Santa's goodie bag

    Sydney4364 => Vixen

    Smooshed_potato => Scooper promo

    Decided on 3 winners, seems more fair. The (now ended :( ) Holiday season is about sharing afterall.

    For the record: I'm going to build my own randomizer soonish. I'd prefer it if you also got a time/date stamp together with the random number so that you can use that as a verification of when you drew the numbers. Extremely simple to make, but I just have to get in the mood for it a bit :)

    Then there was this thing about favorite numbers.... That was written on a whim and the idea was to perhaps draw something random'ish as well while checking those values. However, because of the varies entries I decided to change that into an originality prize (it's also a bit easier on me) and honestly... I don't think you can get any more original than:


    :D

    I actually grinned when I first saw this, so yah, I think that's a really solid winner there as well. You won Aya's donated set of god gear.

    Prizes will be mailed within 1 - 3 days.

    I think I'll hop on in a few hours but it depends a bit on timing. $customer is upgrading their server from FreeBSD 11.0 to 11.1 (bit late, but can't be helped I suppose) and that has priority right now.

    Thanks for playing guys, hope you'll enjoy your prizes.

    (Edit: All but one prizes have been mailed, the other winner has been PM'd)
  19. lol. New years day, what a great day to update your server... :p

    Anyways, thanks for the awesome giveaway, and, wow, I even won something! [/plain]:eek:[/plain] Thanks again! :D Happy 2018 to you too! :)
