Bump...

This is my brother who is doing this, you can win your own prizes through the initial drawing whether he wins the referral contest or not. I can vouch for this.

For God's sake fellas, I thought trying to get $3000 for WW would be a slamdunk here when it dosent cost you a dime and you stand to win stuff. Gee whiz.

You can watch the standings as well and I will post "our guy's" name if need be.

The individual who is the subject of this thread asked me to post this on his behalf:

No specific offense taken, NotAFudd. However, there are probably a few things I could share that'll help you understand a little better and maybe have a slightly different take on it. If not, thanks for your time in reading this anyway. I occasionally browse through the board and enjoy the discussions, but haven't had enough to really comment about to bother signing up –– despite my brother's insistence.

I generally donate anywhere between 100-120 hours a year planning and executing charity events. Add in the time my 11 year old daughter spends in helping me out and it's easily pushing 200 hours a year. Most of these events are for Hunt Of A Lifetime (sending terminally ill kids and wounded veterans on their dream hunts) and the Wounded Warrior program. On January 1st of this year, I raised over $3600 for Hunt Of A Lifetime by auctioning off a Brett Keisel-autographed football and allowing the folks running the charity to shave my Keisel-like beard as well as the rest of my head in the freezing Allegheny River. In May, I was a part of a charity that raised an additional $90,000 to give to Hunt Of A Lifetime. Last year we raised $40,000, etc etc etc.

On the work end of things, I develop advanced military ground systems and am responsible for a huge portion of the MRAP Capabilities Insertion Effort, working with our fighting men and women every day to make sure the solutions we develop are exactly on point for what they need in the battlefield. I'm their voice in the development community, and as such have suffered the loss of not only colleagues but close friends over the past decade of fighting (as many have).

In addition to the time I put towards these charities and the work I do for a living, I have averaged $4,800 a year in personal donations to them over the past 5 years. For this one (the first one that has EVER had any kind of a possible prize in return), I'm actually pledging a donation of $3,000 to WW and an additional $3,000 to the charity of the winner's choice after I have a drawing comprised of those that used the code if we end up with the most referrals. As usp4u said, evidence of that will be posted on here in whatever form makes everyone comfortable if necessary. Sure, I'm a gun owner and avid shooter, but angering an entire community of AR15 enthusiasts isn't exactly on my short list of good ideas.

At any rate, thanks for reading this, and if you feel so inclined as to help get us to the top of the referrals list, it'd be greatly appreciated.
