You told him his post count was high enough to join but his word wasnt good enough to accept. Faith is harder than skepticism, but alot more rewarding. Someone trying to steal a bomber from someone surely would have quit a long time ago

No offense at all. But I've been part of many online games and free offering threads like this one. They usually run well where people are often genrerous, and it's a lot of fun. But sometimes people come in and try to take advantage of the situation, and other people's generosity. They end up ruining it for everyone.

Not saying you are one of those people, just saying that it wouldn't hurt to sit this one out, and participate in the forum. I don't think these offers should be open to anyone who can create an account. Tho only way to have any idea about trusting each other is through interaction on the boards.

I couldn't have said it better, stick around see the outcomes and wait til the next! There will definitely be a next :)

@Scturo how many offers is that in total?
 
We are up to 10 offers, 11 if aeviaanah is still in! :mug:
 
What if everyday i maxed out my post count with threads that contain only the letter A. Eventually i would have enough posts that you would trust someone that was smarter than the system. Assuming you have nothing better to do than to peruse through every one of my posts.
 
The you'd probably be booted for spamming. Seriously though, just participate in the forum. Share some knowledge!

Most other MAW/Beer it Forward threads have a minimum post count rule, might not be a bad idea to implement that here.

Anyway, if aeviaanah really dropped out, I'd be happy to fill that slot!

I generally go by 50 post count minimum, but it's case by case. Like with JDXX1971, he had less than 50 when he signed up, but a quick check of his recent posts showed that he was a HBer who was active in the forum. Again, just trying to avoid any monkey business in the raffle.

PM sent,
 
Yes I'm out. No hard feelings. My only suggestion is that you post the full rules in the future.

Ok, Great News, all of the offers are officially in! :ban: Give me about an hour to finalize, and will post the offers. Quickly I want to say that the minimum requirment to enter was a beer and a glass, no surprise that people (against my recommendations) to offer up 2, 3, even 4 beers.

Now that the offers are posted we can focus on the Raffle itself. Here are the basics of the raffle in case anyone is not sure.

Everyone will have a couple of days to rank their choices. On Oct 30th, We will place everyones name in an online random selector, and reveal the picking order. Then you can either pick live, or you can send me ranked list of your choices, and we can go by that. You can send me your list in case you can't pick live. Even if you plan to pick live. It may be a good idea to send me your list just in case. You can always change your pick if you pick live.

Oct 30th at 4pm ET will be the time we hold the raffle. At that time the raffle picking order will be done. And the first pick will be in the clock. Once the first is done we move on until all offers have been selected. The time of the raffle is subject to change in case anyone would like a different time. Once a player is on the clock, they will have 60 mins to make their selection. If a player sends me a list, and is not present to pick live, I will pick the highest available section from their list. If a player is not present, and does not have a list in after 60 mins, we would move on to the next person. If a player misses their pick, they would get the next pick as soon as they show up.

Let me know if there are any questions, concerns, comments, or general skullduggery is welcome. You can even PM me if you like. Remember Sunday at 4pm ET, is when we draw names. Good luck everyone! :mug:
 
Well **** I got my beers and see you already posed the offers am I to late or can you add mine
 
Those last few players came in all at once. Forgot about the Bigfish713. Last player, unless he offers a blue moon. ;)

By the defening silence, I assume you guys are blown away by the great offers? I'm pretty excited for the raffle, I hope you guys are too. :ban:
