Weekly 3 Month Subscription Giveaway!

[Ground_Breaker]

Everyone should get to experience what being a subscriber is like, and I'm interested in helping out the site financially.

Enter now for a chance to win a FREE 3 month subscription!

Week 6 has now ended.

Now accepting entries for week 7, ending January 18th!

What do I have to do, Ground_Breaker?

Anytime from Monday through Sunday (you may also post today, November 16th, since I'm starting this today), post once in this thread telling me the first thing you're going to do if you win this week's subscription. Don't tell me you're going to jump up and down exclaiming, "ZOMG A WINNER IS ME!" Tell me the first way you're going to use your new subscriber privileges. Whether it's creating your custom title, or playing all the subscriber songs, just throw out a few sentences. It won't kill ya.

Are you really going to give away a subscription every week?

Yes. Like I said, I want everyone to be able to experience the things we subscribers get to experience every day. As well, I would like to help out the site financially in a big way, like emerald000 does. This seems to me to be the easiest way to achieve both goals, and I want to have some fun doing this. I just got a new job that pays very well, and I want to give something back for everything this website has offered to me. I know that's already what being a subscriber is, but I want you all to get to enjoy this with me.

Is there a catch?

The only requirement you must meet is that you must not have an existing, active subscription. The point of this is to give those who've never had access to subscriber benefits the chance to enjoy them, so if you'd like to try to win a subscription, but you have a subscription currently active, just wait till it ends, then you may certainly try to win another three months.

So how do you determine who wins?

Each Sunday night, I will review the thread and see who all has posted what they plan to do with their new subscription. I will use random.org to choose a number between the post numbers of the first and last replies to this thread since that past Monday. That number will correspond to a post in the thread, and I will order that poster's subscription that evening.

Example: Let's say that seventy-eight people post from tomorrow through Sunday, which means that the first person's post is the second reply to this thread, and the seventy-eighth person's post is the seventy-ninth reply to this thread.

On that Sunday, I will post again in this thread saying that the chance to enter this weeks giveaway is over, then I'll go over the replies. Post numbers two through seventy-nine represent the seventy-eight replies to the original post that are in the thread, so I'll go to random.org's integer generator and set it up like this:

Then, I'll hit the button, and:

So, I'll go look at post number fifty-three in this thread, and that poster, if he/she does not already have an active subscription, will obviously be the winner. If they do have an active subscription, I will let random.org choose another number.

If I post more than once in this thread, do I have a better chance of winning?

No. If you post more than once in this thread, I will count your first post as your entry number, and if random.org chooses one of your other posts, I will have it choose another number.

You stand to gain nothing by posting more than once per week, except postcount +1.


Aren't you going to get confused with people posting in your thread who can't win subscriptions?

No, because if random.org chooses a number corresponding to a post that either is off-topic or comes from a subscriber, then I will have random.org choose another number. That way I won't have to worry about which posts to include and which posts not to include. Basically, I will write down the post number of each post in the thread that isn't an entry into the giveaway, and compare random.org's number to that list. I will include screenshots of each number chosen by random.org, even if it chooses a number of someone ineligible to receive a subscription.

Will you be providing screenshots like this in your posts that announce the weekly winner?

Not only will I provide screenshots from random.org, but I will also provide a screenshot from the completed transaction page of the FFR shop.

Using random.org seems like a bad idea. Why can't you decide based on our answers?

The answers are just for fun. I want it to be truly random because I don't want people saying that I gave them out based on people I like, or that I gave them out based on some other subjective reason. As I've said, everyone deserves a chance, and that includes people who may not necessarily have the most creative responses.

If you win a subscription from this giveaway,
stick this in your signature with a link to this thread. Entirely optional of course.

Yet another good idea coming from the mind of Ground_Breaker. My only question to you: How long will you be doing this?

My question as well.
Also, it is nice that you are doing this.

Indefinitely. If I can't do it one week for some reason, I will let everyone know about it and I'll give away two subscriptions the week before the week I plan to be gone.

I'll edit the OP later describing how I plan to handle replies to the thread from people who aren't necessarily entering themselves in the giveaway.

Have fun!

[MechDreams]

The first thing I'm going to do is change my custom title to something more fitting and fun. And then I can finally change my speed settings a little bit more in FFR with this subbie. Once I'm done with those two, I'll take the time to look at my extended level rank stats to see in full detail, what I need to improve on.

[footbull3196]

Alright, well, here goes.

First, I'm going to use my subscription to explore all the fantastic options of being a subscriber.

Next, I'm gonna play some new subscriber only songs.

Then, I'll introduce myself in the subscriber forum, hoping to make a good first impression as a new subscriber member of the community.

Finally, I'll do some other stuff do make the most of my awesome subscription, probably custom titles.

(all of this will happen IF I win)

[Ice wolf]

I would try the new speed mods and the comboturneroffer . . . whatever you want to call it.

[badman7772]

Subscriber songs FTW!

Why the hell can't I do it? If you want to help out the site financially, you still would be to support existing subscribers.

That help?

Still retarded.

You guys just might want to know the subby forum is not that great. All that really happens is people whine about lag, or no updates, or something. And occasionally an admin says something about a new feature. Oh, and everybody bitches about their sub running out until Foil would come yell at them for making the thread. You're not missing much there. And Custom Titles are really limited. We can't put certain things. And... Beta's pretty awesome. Yeah. Oh, if anyone bitched me out for calling this retarded I didn't read it. But, it's still pretty cool. I just wish someone would have an idea for subscribers to renew theirs. Mine ends in a few weeks, and I don't really want to spend the credits to renew it. I only really like seeing the invisible people.

Well it's in the OP as well as in my response to your "it's retarded" post, but once again you are absolutely welcome to try to win another three months when your current subscription expires.

EDIT: Which it looks like it has, so if you want, I can count this as a "what I'd do with my subscription" post since you gave reasons why you liked being a subscriber.

[Ziergdsx18]

Play Subby Song's and change my CT. It would be nice

[Orange Dude]

This is cool.
The first thing I would do is mask the combo and mirror Club so I can finally FC that SOB.

[virus003]

I would love to have a subscription so I can play FFR BETA and post in the Subscriber forum. k thnx.

Mind if I address something?

If a person who wants a subby posts more than another, then according to this part of your OP, this means that they have a better chance to win the subby than others. Seeing as how you are doing this through random.org, I'm not sure if this is how you intended it to be. If you wanted it like that, then disregard what I say, but I wasn't sure.

Don't post in threads acting like you know what goes on. It's a good idea, and if you don't like it, just abandon the thread. Stop postwhoring.

If people post more than one time in this thread, it doesn't mean they have more than one chance to win. I will simply use their first post in the thread as their entry number, and if random.org chooses any of their other posts, I'll just have it choose another number. That way, you gain nothing by posting more than once in the thread.

Now if it looks like someone is deliberately posting a lot in the thread to try to up their chances of winning, I'll disqualify them.

EDIT: Edited OP to reflect the answer to this question.
