Gentlemen (and any ladies who might be interested):

It seems I've built up some good karma around here, so I figure I'm due to start giving some back.

The rules for this giveaway are simple:

ELIGIBLE: Anyone, "Team Member" or not.

NUMBERS: Pick one number between (and including) 1 to 500. Please BOLD your chosen number in your post, so I don't miss it. Smilies are ok. The contest will continue to run until all the numbers have been picked, or NOON CST on Presidents' Day, Monday 20 FEB 2012.

DUPES: First one to pick a given number gets it. If you don’t bother to double-check the rest of the posts in the thread, and only post the dupe, it’s on you. If you dupe someone, you may edit your post to reflect a second number choice, up until the CUT-OFF POST.

CUT-OFF: Once I announce that all numbers have been picked and the picking window is closed, that’s it, CEASE FIRE-FREEZE, LOCK AND CLEAR. I’ll note the cut-off time and date. For verification, I will send the list of usernames and their picked numbers to a non-participating, neutral third party TBA.

WINNING: Once I have all the numbers and usernames catalogued and verified, I will run the RNG. "Close enough" is for horseshoes, hand grenades, and ChiComm knock-offs... The RNG either picks your number or it doesn't.

PRIZES: Any pledges for additional prizes to what I am putting up for the giveaway will be added to the list, and I will run the RNG again for each subsequent prize. If the RNG picks a previous winner’s number, I will run it again. You win, you’re out for the rest of the prize(s). I figure this gives everyone a fair chance to win something. Any trades between winners are their business... Prize donors, please contact me via IM about your donation(s).

FIRST PRIZE: Mark Fingar M4 Accessories poster, 24x36, unsigned. I'll ship it in the same cardboard roll package as it arrived to me...

SECOND PRIZE: LaRue Tactical cap. OD embroidery on tan, brass adjustment buckle and vents (unworn)

THIRD PRIZE: LaRue Tactical GBOT and ERW bumper stickers, 3x each

FOURTH PRIZE: Two UNOPENED bottles of Dillo Dust. (inner seal still in place)

FIFTH PRIZE: A set of RWB Index Clips (one each color), courtesy of EM901.

That's all there is to it. Good luck to all... In the words of Mark LaRue:

...AND GO!!!

ETA: Just in case you're wondering how I'm tracking this, I have an Excel sheet open in split window, and I plug in the first name to pick whatever number...
ETA #2: Failing to bold your number isn't a DQ, it just makes it harder for me to catch, what with running a split screen between ARFCOM and EXCEL...
