which is either the 20th on page 500 or the first on page 501.. I still don’t remember what the mods rules on the “first post wins” debate. Anyone remember?

A quick Flamebate search of +First +Post +Ruling (sorted by relevance) turned up this (http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view_post/331098) post by Tubsweetie:

“I’d argue that the first post isn’t the OP, since making the thread forces that original post.

I’d say they’re both OK, but in the future, “first post” contests should mean the first non-thread starter post, or the second on the page. Otherwise it’s not much of a contest if the OP sends himself a BP to get that epeen. Seems like an exploit of the system that shouldn’t be allowed.”

This thread is in the future, so the first post shouldn’t count. First post of page 500 should win it, of course provided it gets that far.
