As this seems to be a pressing issue and others are having fun with it, we, Nightshade and myself, have decided to jump onto the bandwagon. Originally, there were only the two of us, and now, thanks to the staff of ag net and donations, throughout the community, we can and will gift 18, yes, 18 coppies of AHC to 18 people who want it. Are you going to be one of them? The rules of our little contest are simple, so read on if you're intrested.
There are currently 37102 registered members on the forum as I write this post. Because of this, Nightshade and I have picked 18 numbers for you to guess between 1 and 50000, to make room for the possibility that others will want to register if they hear news either on twitter, facebook or some other site, that this game is being given away. this range gives you, a great chance. there are some guidelines you must follow, however:
1. Only one guess per person.
2. While we have no real way to police this aspect, we kindly ask you, please, to not enter if you already own a copy of the game; give those who are less fortunate a chance to win it. Should we discover that you already own a copy, you will! Be disqualified!
3. do not send your guesses to PM or through email; they must be posted within the thread and will be kept track of here. Any guess received through email or PM will not be counted at all.
4. while you can make the same guess as someone else if you so choose, either because you like a particular number, as my wife does, or because you're so desperate to win it and you're absolutely certain you know what the numbers are, you really should try and make as original a guess as possible. No same number guess will be disqualified, however. An example would be if say, posters 14 and 15 are posting at precisely the same time and come up with the number 2. Regardless of how it happens, same number guesses will be treated as legit.
5. the exact numbers are not needed. The five who are picked will be picked by being the closest to the 18 numbers we have chosen. This way the contest is treated sort of like a lottery where everyone submits a ticket.
6. while not required, might we kindly ask you to tell us a little bit about yourself and your circumstances? Are you living in an under developed country? Are you under the age of 18 and living under the rule of iron fisted parents? do they have different beliefs to your own? If this feels too personal, feel free not to answer, as this one is seriously, not, required and will not get you disqualified, but will give us a greater understanding of you as a person and may put you in line for free gifts in the future.
the contest ends on February first, at precisely noon, Eastern standard time. any guesses submited after this period will not be counted. Go!
