Permission to do another Oscar competition in the BO forum?

[ReaperFett]

I did one last year, and I think it went alright. Can I do it again? :)

[TheHolo.Net]

Sure.

You can offer an @sw-fans.net email account as a prize if you like.

[ReaperFett]

Ooh, will do :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Curious did you reward Yoghurt his prize for winning the Box office contest? Just curious I guess he would get a free month, I am not sure if I asked or not.
Also I have no problem with an Oscar contest be a good idea to do before our next Box office contest for the Summer. I think we will do a NCAA pickum thing for the NCAA tournament but I am not going to reward a prize for it.

[TheHolo.Net]

Come April I will add an additional 6 months to Yog's subscription date for his supporter account. That was the agreed upon prize. I don't want to add it yet becuse then his starting subscription date would be in the future if I did.

And the big BO contests get their choice of prize. 6 months free supporter, or an @sw-fans.net email. Smaller, shorter contests get the email prize only.

Okay, how's this for a post:

Once again, the Oscar picks competition return. But this time, there is a prize. The winner gets a free @sw-fans.net email account.


So, rules of play. Below is the full listing of the Oscar nominees for 2004. Go through, and pick who you think will win each. KEEP THE ORDER THE SAME. For every correct prediction, you get a point. The one with the most points wins. In the case of the tie, the one who got best movie correct wins. If still tied, it's who got the most points from best actor and actress. Then for supporting roles. If still tied, the win is tied.

Sounds cool to me, but I'll let the other SW mods have their say.

Also if there is a complete deadlock tie, both winners can get an @sw-fans.net email, which you probably shouldn't mention unless it actually happens so as to help avoid intentional ties.

[ReaperFett]

Right o. And I agree about not saying about that.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It looks fine to me :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

sounds cool to me, go for it Reaper.

[JMK]

Let 'er rip Reap!

[ReaperFett]

Okay :)


Deadline is once the host speaks in the ceremony :)

[ReaperFett]

Looks like Figrin AND Eb won :)

[TheHolo.Net]

PM them and let them know they won and find out what they want their email names to be. I will PM each of them with their usernames, PWs and the server info afterwards.

[ReaperFett]

PMs away :)

[TheHolo.Net]

The prize has been awarded to both winners and the process is now completed.

[ReaperFett]

Considering it slipped my mind and it got posted late, I was pleased by the turnout :)
