Win these customs!

[GoktimusPrime]

I'm offering some of my custom toys away as free prizes in Rewind's Games Room.

Currently on offer is "Maximal Seeker Mirage". The original Mirage is pictured on the left and Maximal Seeker Mirage is pictured on the right.

Everyone who plays the Transformers Generation 2 game (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=197435) will have their name entered into a lucky draw. The more times you play this game, the more entries with your name will be placed in the draw - thus the more chances you have of winning!

Another prize to be given away at the next TF game (which I will create after the G2 game has concluded) is "Vok Hunter Tarantulas" - complete with spark-slicing pizza cutter!

So stay tuned!

Please note: Unless you are able to pick these toys up yourself, you will be required to pay for postage. If you are unwilling to do this then the prize will be offered to the next place winner.

These competitions you post up need to be more objective and final.
The last one caused controversy, and this one isn't going to end well, because no one is going to 'hurt' the second last character to allow someone else to win.

A good competition is a random draw, with or without creative submissions with their entry.

[GoktimusPrime]

Okay fine... every time someone takes a turn in a game it gives them one entry in a lucky draw. Thus the more times you play the more chances you have of winning.

[griffin]

That's a much better way of doing it, and becomes an incentive too.

[MV75]

That's a lottery, and you have to have a license to do lotteries.

A judged based single entry "creative entry" however is fine.

A judged based single entry "creative entry" however is fine.

A "judged based single entry "creative entry"" is completely subjective (and thus not objective as Griffin stated before.)

And it's basically a free raffle for second-hand toys - I can't see how anyone external could have a problem with it.

[griffin]

A lottery requires payment or purchase. This is a free random draw.
And even if it counts legally as a lottery, it would be a negligible exception to requiring registration.
Not to mention, we have random draws here all the time, so why start picking on this one now?

[kaiden]

yeah, isn't gok always giving away free stuff?

the only form of payment that was asked was shipping costs which is reasonable.

since i made the final kill in the game, do i get a bonus entry? :P

[GoktimusPrime]

The lucky draw winner from the Generations 2 TF Game for the prize of "Maximal Seeker Mirage" is dirge! Congratulations! :)

For anyone who cares how I conducted this random draw, I went back to the game thread and made a list of everyone who played and each time they played, in the order that they played; then compiled a simple list on Excel. Excel of course assigns each entry with a number. I then used random.org to randomly generate a number and dirge's number came up.

...and yes, I do feel a bit odd putting myself in the draw. I didn't win anyway so it's a moot point, but maybe I shouldn't include myself for the Paleo TF Game lucky draw. :p ;)

Out of interest, is there a reason why only the first nineteen posts of the thread seemed to be eligible to win? :confused:

[kaiden]

i dont even see my name in that list :(

[iceburn]

there's 2 GoktimusPrime in the list too #1 and #19

[1AZRAEL1]

there's 2 GoktimusPrime in the list too #1 and #19

Correction, there are 3, number 10 as well

Further correction there are 4, at 16 as well.

[iceburn]

hahahaha now i reckon it's by post

[Sky Shadow]

hahahaha now i reckon it's by post

It is by post, I just don't get why it's only the first nineteen posts on the spreadsheet and then it stops, and that the random number generator only went up to nineteen. :confused:

[SkyWarp91]

Is that program even a random number generator at all? - it went for the person with the LEAST posts - is this a coincidence? :confused: Nah jk :D

[GoktimusPrime]

oops... you know what I've done... I counted posts up to page 2, then I saw the "Closed" icon and assumed that was the last page. I dunno why... did it in a rush. :p Anyway, I've recounted all the posts (also in a rush, sorry - got work to do tonight) and I believe it should look like this:

'scuse the lazy typing... :p kaiden's play in post #89 was the final play post, post #90 onwards weren't part of the game play. All the post numbers with no names were posts that weren't part of the game play (e.g. comments made by people but without healing/hurting anyone). So I'm gonna generate a random number between 1-89... if I get a number for a non-play post then I'll regenerate, and likewise if it lands on one of MY numbers then I'll regenerate until I get a legitimate winner.

82... okay that's me... <regenerates number>
79... invalid post <regenerates>
43... SKULLCRUNCHER!

Congratulations to Skullcruncher! Apologies to dirge for the false draw. :p

Skullcruncher, if you want the toy you'll either need to pick the toy up, or if you can't, PM me with a postal address and I can post the toy to you, but you'll need to pay for the cost of postage (the toy remains free though :)). If you're not willing to do this then LMK and I'll draw another winner. (:

[kaiden]

yay! closure. congrats to skullcruncher

[GoktimusPrime]

skullcruncher has declined the prize and I can't be bothered redrawing, so I'll be bringing "Maximal Seeker Mirage" to the next Sydney meet and probably run a quick triv competition at the food-court social and give it away there.

Why did he decline the price?

[GoktimusPrime]

He simply doesn't want it. :)
