"Hell Freezes Over" 1st-of-each-month Contest

915

It came down to a Sudden Death Playoff between DernHumpus and sleepercaprice1 ...

DernHumpus was pulled out of the number generator yet a second time and walked with it all.

Sleepercaprice1, sorry 'bout your close game, but send me you address too.

Someone posted it's a 4-way tie between guys that got closest to the number.

Those folks need to pick yet another whole integer.

Sorry guys, but we're figuring out the rules right here and now for all of eternity, so ... if no one has that number, we instantly pick another until we find someone or a crowd that does.

M. LaRue

Bloencustoms threw this rules list together for us and I want to hold it here for discussion ... did he miss anything ???

Contest rules:

1: Only Team Members are eligible.
2: Select a number from 1 to 1,000, and post only that number.
3: Only one post per person.
4: Posting more than once = disqualification.
5: Posting anything more than a number = disqualification
6: Posting the number in a non-standard font = disqualification.
7: Editing your post = disqualification.

In the event more than one person selects the same number, the random number generator will select a number from a pool equalling the number of duplicate posts.

For example: If 3 members select the same number, the generator will be asked to select a number from 1 to 3. If the number is 2, th second person to post wins. If the number is 1, the first person to post wins.

In the event the generator selects a number that was not picked by a member, the generator will select another number, until it lands on a number that was picked by one or more members.

Is there some significance to the number 367? I just made it up, but when I went through the thread afterwards I found that I was the third to post it.

Posted: 2/1/2008 6:40:53 AM EDT

Done. Tagged.

And if I might make a suggestion. How about a tally sheet that's updated with what numbers
have been picked, updated "when someone gets around to it" but hopefully every day.

What happens if two people pick the same number and it wins? I'm sure that 223 and 556 will be picked multiple times.

Could someone code up a "pick your square" application and host it? Nothing really fancy,
just find your number and stake it out with your name on it. That way, people can pick numbers that haven't been picked yet without having to wade through thousands of posts.

Hey Mark,

Even though I'm deployed, I can still win right? You can mail it to my address at Fort Bragg. Am I still qualified to enter?

can't believe someone else picked 613. That's pretty random if he ain't Jewish!

So of course I went to bed early last night then saw my note about the drawing this morning. So the thread of numbers hit 19 pages so I pick my number that I already chose in advance hoping no one posted it yet post it and go back to look through the picks to find it again on page 3.

At least there is another pick if there is a tie.----> good luck to everyone.

While I can't speak for Mark, after seeing the way he has treated service members in the past I can't hardly believe he would say no...

Also, Mark I've attempted to send you several emails with a question and never got a response...

what happens if there are 1000 people posting numbers today? Are you still going to let it run for 7 days and just let it fill up with duplicate numbers?

Oh hell yeah you're in. We'll hold it until you come of deployment.

Might have a rather large function-fired round count by then.

I wasn't gonna read 29 pages looking to see if my number had already been used.

I realize you said there'd be a tie-breaker for duplicate numbers, but I have zero problem giving the prize to the first poster if my number happens to be a duplicate.

Mark,

I was gonna post about this earlier. There is no doubt that there are going to be a bunch of duplicate numbers. Just my humble opinion, but I think that the tiebreaker should go to the first poster of the winning number(based obviously on time and date of their UNEDITED post) not a second random tiebreaker drawing. You would be penilizing the original poster. Just MHO, and thank you for doing this giveaway
