Author Topic: Contest - Free Emdkay Marquee (Read 15786 times)

emdkay · « **on:** October 20, 2003, 01:17:57 am »

BYOAC'ers, it's about time I give something away to the community! I'm giving away a free marquee to the winner of this contest. You can choose any marquee that I offer, at any size.

Now for the rules...

- Just post any number in this topic between 1 and 100.

- One entry per person. Multiple entries will disqualify you.

- Contest ends on October 31st at 11:59PM EST, or once this topic reaches 100 entries, whichever comes first.

- Whoever is closest to the winning number chosen at random will be the winner. Being higher or lower than the winning number doesn't matter - it's who is closest.

- In the event of a tie, the person who posted first will win.

The number will be picked once the contests ends from this site: http://www.random.org/

I'm doing this just to be nice and thought it would be fun. If the contest gets out of hand or if it shouldn't be allowed on here, then it will sadly be cancelled.

I knew I was leaving something out

OK, there's a maximum of two winners. The earliest posts take precedence.

I was going to use 13 two, but that would get crowded

I doubt there will be a problem, but yit's your contest, you will have to sort it out.
