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.

[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.

[Ice wolf]

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

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!

[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.

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

Stop gaying up my thread please. If you don't like it, you don't have to participate. Apparently you didn't fully read through the OP, because I stated that if you want to wait till your existing subscription expires, you're more than welcome to try to win one through this giveaway.

[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.

[awein999]

1. analyze my extended level stats
2. look at other people's level ranks
3. look at average rank leaders
4. play without my combo displaying
5. play songs that haven't been released to the public yet
6. play all skill token songs

there are subscriber forums??? I would want to see that too haha. And there are probably other things I don't even know about that I haven't mentioned that I would really like.

wait question: are "subscriber songs" even MORE songs that I can't even see as being a non-subscriber or is badman refering to skill token songs?

[Tater Tot]

To be honest, I'd immediately start fiddling with the custom titles, as I've thought of a good fifty or so that would just be plain awesome in my opinion. After that I'd move on to the subscriber forums to see what's going on, and then on to the game itself.

[sumzup]

If I won, upon receiving my gift subscription, I would first open up Internet Explorer and enjoy the lack of ads without the use of Adblock. I would then change my custom title to something witty and gaze at my blueness for several minutes. This done, I would check out FFRDog and the changes from the last time I was able to use it, and maybe checkout the Beta Level Reader and FFR the Beta. The most important thing I would do would be to play Nucleus or whatever it's called, as that's obviously much better than FFR. Life would then proceed in a normal fashion.

Oh, alright, I didn't notice that you had mentioned something in the OP about that. I could have sworn I had read it all. xD

Good to see that your idea is fool-proof though.
