[ARCHIVED THREAD] - LaRue January 2013 Contest Report (Page 5 of 8)

Quoted:
I think some people just misunderstood the new guy's joke. He was talking about the LaRue wait time, in general, not about the contest announcement. I got a chuckle out of it. Yeah, he explained it later. It was just written in a way that it could be misinterpreted. We are still waiting in pics of his LT rifles, always good to see LT gun porn! |

Thanks for the report MND! It's awesome to see all that data come together in one place.
I see you guys posting about fake accounts and low post counts and would like to post that neither I, nor anyone else in my household, have more than this one account. No dupe accounts here. I mostly lurk ... I usually don't have anything of importance to say so I don't... I almost missed getting my number in this month, and my previous numbers were usually duped after I posted so, in my rush, I just posted the FPS rating from a box of Golden Saber .45 rounds on my desk. After I posted I looked for the report and, sure enough, I duped someone. What are the odds that out of 2000 numbers I picked one someone else was already using? In all fairness, I think Mark should pick the first person that chooses a specific number. Dupes should not be allowed. My apologies to agnisco ... if 875 is picked, I hope you end up winning the draw. Thanks for the monthly contests, Mark! |

If you don't believe in dupes, you could always disqualify yourself this month by editing your post or by posting again. |
This suspense is killing me  c'mon 395 ! My B'Day is in two weeks and this would be an awesome present !!!! Quoted: I think some people just misunderstood the new guy's joke.

I just thought he was talking about wait times, in general, when one pays versus when one wins a contest. i.e. from any vendor/manufacturer, in these dark times ETA: Quoted:
The most important part of the prize is the winner will get it this year! |

Unfortunately, due to some asshat, the contest was made available to everyone, quite awhile ago. |

While I can't argue that people show up out of the woodwork, the contest can and does serve a purpose as far as marketing goes. Myself for example became a member of ARFCOM through the LaRue site while I was putting an order together. Once I was a member I happened upon the contest and, having browsed the LaRue catalog for quite a while now, I knew that if they gave ANYTHING away it would be cool...even if it was just a hat.
I can't speak for any of the non-paying members of ARFCOM, but I for one joined as a paying member after I found out about the contest. Why? Because I saw that any forum that has that level of involvement with the community is worth supporting. Yes, I am a new guy here at ARFCOM, but I am also a paying customer at LaRue and here as well. In fact, because of Mark, ARFCOM and you fine fuckers I am now a member of the NRA
Thanks Mark for the contest, and the swag, and the great equipment! |

Is it possible Mark is out of town for Noveske's funeral and visiting with his family a bit? If so I think a little patience is needed here folks Could be. I don't think anyone in here is being impatient. We're just having some fun and goofing around. This. I hope the RNG is okay...it's probably getting sad that nobody is playing with it. |

I honestly didn't read enough to notice it seemed like more people in GD were getting paranoid about it |

My theory: Larue Tactical is furiously ramping up production so that they, in a final blaze of magnanimous, rebellious glory before the imminent assault rifle ban, can announce that every entrant for the January UHFO contest is a winner and will receive a free rifle of their chioice.
"midmo, midmo, time to wake up honey..."

<tin foil hat on>
.gov was unimpressed with all the numbers and Mark is being stalked by global hawks and predator drones with hellfire missiles. He is in his fortress of solitude designing a .50BMG OBR to take them out. <tin foil hat off> *would make a good story*
