Contest

[theARTiSAN]

Here it is guys...

I've said before that the Request Forum is getting nuts.
I'm starting a 1-week contest starting right now, running until this time Monday Sept. 16th.

The member that fills the most requests within this week will win 1000$ MB cash.
Rules of common sense apply - Fill a request with the best MIDI version you have available. You can fill a request with a MIDI you have, you can find MIDIs on the internet or sequence them yourself.

1. Threads requesting MIDIs that are already on the board will be deleted - so don't waste your time responding with an attachment OR a link to the files. They won't count anyway.

2. Post only MIDI files. No links.

3. to have these count (making my job easier in counting all these next week) Include the words "replycontest1" (all lowercase, no quotes) in the thread response you upload the MIDI in. This way, I can run a search for eligable entries instead of looking through 5,000,000,000,000 threads.
IF YOU DON'T INLCUDE THIS CODE IN YOUR REPLY, IT WON'T COUNT!

4. First reply to a request gets the point.

5. Anyone can play.
Mods (and John) who choose to play cannot use any extended vB Mod or Admin options/scripts/features to gain unfair advantage. ;)

Good luck! PM me with questions, or post them here/
I'll announce a winner early next week!

[lostdave]

WAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!


I'm in :-)

Darn good Idea this


name glow here I come :D

[tavenger5]

artisan, you're a genious! Very good idea! I'm moving this to the announcement forum so it shows on the main page.

[§ereña]

not a bad idea sweety :thumbsup:

[theARTiSAN]

:D Thanks guys!
:: ego inflates slightly ::

This does 2 things:
1. Helps fill requests
2. Helps satisfy a few posts that were complaining about how much stuff in the Feature Store costs - - The winner will be well on the way to a name glow or whatever else they can't afford now ;)

[voice of god]

You bastard artisan, now I'm gonna be stuck on this computer forever!

WWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYY !! WWWWWWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!

[hana_dan]

[davph30]

I'll give it a go, My 1st compitition here

[theARTiSAN]

Remember guys - once the pickin's seem to be getting slim in the requests, you can go back further to some of the old requests.
There are like 1600 some-odd threads in the Request Forum, and some of the unfilled ones have remained unfilled for a long time!

So we have:
Dave
Tpearl5
Serena
Voice
Hana
Frogg
davph
and Me (who is playing for fun, not eligible for the $)
Anyone else?

p.s. As of right now, Dave is kicking the hell out of all of us...
:thumbsup:

[lostdave]

AND..i'm not cheating :D :D :D.....


It could have somthing to do with having the sexond largest collection here (I think artisan pips me by about 800 files)

[Ronny]

Count me in my man!!

NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW NEED NAME GLOW................................

[lostdave]

I don't think Ronny should be alowed to play until he has done his chores...

taking out the trash.......Cleaning up his forum etc etc :D :D :D

http://degster.com/midi/board/t1532.html

[Ronny]

Done and dusted. Sorry didn't quite realise it was in the requests "file discussion" forum of which I am a moderator.

Cheers for keeping me right!:thumbsup:

[lostdave]

Good work Ronny

Keep it up

:D

Dave

[voice of god]

Damn, I'm going away for the weekend(last days of the contest)

Oh well looks like glowdom is yours Dave.

Artisan, just wondring, can you post the results of the contest.
With each participant and no. of requests they filled.
I'm interested to see just how many we all filled in a week.

[theARTiSAN]

Voice - I sure will post the results - we're up to 40 as of right now.
Really good guys!

Dave - actually, from what I understand, the real MIDIGOD on the boards is EddieXP50... Fast Eddie has about 17,000 PRO midi files... :: turns pale & faints ::

I'm thinking of possibly extending this contest another week... This will make the final count a lot more time consuming for me, but I don't mind :D

What does everyone think - after all, 1000mb$ is a lotta wampum.

[theARTiSAN]

I have started a new ongoing thread called
"Anything for a (M)Buck."
http://degster.com/midi/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3874

This is now the place to stop off if you are needing a few extra MB cash dollaz in your pocket...
It is like the "Mission Impossible" thread... Any mission there (should you choose to accept it) could make you a little bit richer.

The first one is easy - so hurry up and check it out!

[lostdave]

I think it should close on the monday...I'm Winning at the moment..... :D :D


or am i???


sheeesh 17K Files.....I am Humbled :o

[advancedflea]

[The Keeper]

damn damn damn damn, go away working all week and miss out on becoming a glower. I need to give up everything and become wired to the mainframe

[theARTiSAN]

LOL

You guys are doing great! Keep up the good work!
ONE DAY LEFT FOR THIS CONTEST!
This contest will close Monday (Tomorrow) - 24 hours to go!

I will announce the winner shortly after - after I count up the results!

[lostdave]

hey...it's monday here already :D :D

[The Keeper]

lostdave, does that mean we can win before the contest is finished, or do we lose by default?

[theARTiSAN]

About 18 hours (roughly) from the time of this post is when the contest ends - stinking time zones...

[davph30]

Wow I've made it to junior member, Everyone is a winner!!

[theARTiSAN]

3 hours to go!!!
Crunch time!

[theARTiSAN]

STOP!!!

This contest is OVER!
I will be counting up the results, and should have it completed by tomorrow sometime (hopefully).
Any posts after this exact moment will not count towards the contest.
Check back soon to see who won the 1,000$ Prize

[lostdave]

But probably not..

[Ralph'e']

If you win dave, do you wanna go 50 / 50? :p :scrolleyes:

[lostdave]

LOL.....
ummm... let me think about that for a minute.....

ummmmmmm........

NO....

Dave

[theARTiSAN]

OK friends - here are the official results of the Reply Contest(1).
In accordance with the rules, posts that did not contain the (searchable) catch-phrase "replycontest1" DID NOT COUNT!
(Which was a shame, because there were a ton of people filling requests, but only a 5 of us playing by the contest rules.
The results were actually surprising... Unexpected...
But without further delay:

voice of god: 16
hana_dan: 13
lostdave: 11
theartisan: 7
davph30: 2

With as hard as everyone tried, I have decided to add a few consolation prizes...

Voice of God = 1000$
hana_dan = 500$
lostdave (who I really though was going to win...) = 250$
theartisan = just playing for fun... Get's nothing just like the lottery
davph30 = 50$

Great job guys!
We filled 50 requests all-told.
If your count differs from mine (and you did reply with "replycontest1" -spelled correctly-) let me know. I used our regular board search feature, came up with 52 results and checked them each, one-by-one... Then doublechecked by searching by each player's name...

:: shells out a LOT of cash ::

So ends the first contest... Remember to check in frequently with the "Anything For a (M)Buck! Thread http://degster.com/midi/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3874 for announcements of future contest... THere will just about always be something going on there...

:thumbsup: You Guys ROCKed!

[lostdave]

I got too damn busy in the last few days of the contest..
Congrats goes to All the winners...and ..lets face it...
the real winners are the people that had their requests filled
** insert cheesy canned applause here (GM127 if you can't remember) **


Well done Guys


Dave

[hana_dan]

*Cheers* for having consolation prizes! Artisan, you're da best!

[voice of god]

[PaAngel]

Congrads Voice.... Great Job!!!!!
