This is an interesting idea.
Anyone that wants to enter sends BP to a person with the collection pile (ie a mod). and then informs me that they have entered the contest by posting here (with the number of BP donated). On my birthday, the contest ends, and whoever donated the most wins all BP donated for this contest.
Since TUBSWEETIE already has BP for the prize of another contest of mine, I will randomly select another mod.
picking… MC Banhammer is the designated holder for this contest.
Since no BP are going through me, this ensures that no corruption can occur. This means that the contest isn’t a scam for BP.
On my birthday, I will post in this thread that this contest is over. Donations after that will be returned (not used for the prize of the contest).
Just to reiterate, 1. I do not get BP from this or profit in any conceivable way (in terms of BP). 2. The chosen moderator has the BP, not me. So there is no fear of me running off with BP. 3. The contest has a definite ending date. To make the contest full of suspense, I won’t reveal when that ending is. (It’s like all the other contests with indefinite ending times.) 4. The prize will be awarded to the winner. The day of my birthday, I will log in, determine the winner from the posts, and then post that here. 5. I am not in this contest, so I will not win any BP. Plain and simple, no tricks up my sleeve. 6. I know this won’t get me an E-Peen since my BP are not in this contest. However, this idea seemed cool to me, and I want to see what happens.
Ready? Set? Go. |

i have a spreadsheet with all the donations, so no one will be left behind or forgotten
also, if no one enters, no prize will be awarded |

Or whenever I happen to log on, which won’t be so much until sometime Monday. But anyway…
generichaxor Posted:
It’s not a contest, then. So off to Ayn Rands with you. Which means, it’s still legit, and still, no trolling permitted.
I notice you have no rules for a tie. You should make some. Also, do the people who post, post how much they gave? Or just that they entered, and I have to keep track?
Whoever sends me BP should also send me a tubmail indicating so, in case my newsfeed overrunneth (which sometimes happens over weekends).
Finally, generichaxor, please TM me your birthday, so I can guess my availability then, and make arrangements with you if I’m unavailable. |

i already specified that the number of BP donated should be in the post Log in to see images!
MC Banhammer Posted: split the donated BP equally any leftover BP go to the last post in this thread eg if 2 ppl donate 42 BP, and the 3rd person donates 1 BP the first two get 42 BP each, leaving 1 BP left. The third person has the last post, so he wins the remaining BP.
It is not MC Banhammer’s job to keep track of donated BP. Put the number in the post, send him the BP, and tubmail him so he’s aware. |

Tried once before by one brave visionary. Nobody participated in fear of a scam. OP had included the idea of a mod holder, still rejected. |

no scam here i never have the BP so no scam is possible
i highly doubt banhammer will steal player’s BP he is a mod with a reputation to uphold
so neither of us can possibly steal the BP so no scam is possible |

The reason it’s a bad idea isn’t because it could be a scam, it’s because you’re asking the rich to give free money to the poor. If the winner is whoever puts in the most, the winner is also whoever needs bp the least. |

this contest won’t work but i have an idea… ————————————————— maybe instead of most bp donated, it should just be LAST BP donated? that way both the poor and rich have equal chances of winning
this would give everyone a chance to win since those who have extra BP won’t get an unfair advantage Log in to see images!
this way, ties are impossible, so there is no way for someone to lose BP in the contest |
