[ARCHIVED THREAD] - LaRue June 2010 Contest Report (Page 2 of 6)
You know, everyone gripes about dupes. I checked my number, the same one I use every time, and saw someone elses name. I figure, "NO BIGGIE." I really don't get why people gripe about getting duped in a contest that is gratas, as in it doesn't cost a dime to get a chance at a monthly prize worth well over $1K. Then I looked again. I didn't pick my regular number. I mistyped it. I guess I need to mash the keyboard with the palm of my hand to get one of those fat-finger styli I keep hearing about. 
OK, not everyone gripes, but I still don't get why anyone gripes. |

Does anyone mind answering a few questions regarding the contest? From what I gathered you pick a number 1-2000 no editing or extra comments. What happens if it is picked twice? I'm flying blind here. random number generator picks 1 through however many dupes there were of that number...and folks complain a lot. 
Thanks as always for the report, mnd. And of course thanks to Mark for the contest.

I'm flying blind here. If your number gets duped, you come in here and cry about it. Then, if your number gets picked, allegedly, the persons who selected the winning number go into a run-off with the RNG. Winner of that gets the prize. I say allegedly, because the first person to select the number has tended to do very well in the run-offs.

| The more dupes the better. The way i see it, if someone dupes that's one less possible number in the end to draw from. It increases you odds. Then, if you are duped and win, no biggie, look at history. No duper has ever prevailed. It's always the original picker. |

In January 2009 I was the first to pick what turned out to be the winning number. It was duped a couple of days later. The duper won. I lost. |

In know he used to give a concilation prize (did I pick the right adjective Al?) in the past. You must be an outlier; a flier of some sort. |

Long live LaRue Tactical, long live the dupers! |
