Dr.X's Christmas Contest 2014 Is In Motion

890 posts in this topic

Before we get started here, just a few things. I hope everyone has a good holiday season, and we should all be thankful for what we have.

 

It seems every year we lose another member or so. Let's not forget all of the good people we have lost to tragedy.

 

Let's have some fun here, but please no more gifs. I've seen enough for a bit. Well, maybe just a few.

THE CONTEST - READ CAREFULLY - PART #1

 

 

FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE ON THIS PART ONLY

 

This years contest will be a bit different than last year. There are actually two things going on this year. I'll explain in a bit. The main contest is the same as last year.

 

I have a huge container that I save coins in all year. At the end of the year I cash it in, and my two daughters get the proceeds.

 

You can pull up last years contest for the amount that won, but it won't do you any good. I've thrown a monkey wrench or two into the mix this year.

 

I usually go to the bank a few times a week. To sweeten the pot, I randomly picked up a few rolls of dimes, quarters, whatever, here and there.

 

I also tossed in a random number of Gold Dollars ( face amount is one dollar ) between 1 and 19, so

take your time guessing. No dimensions this year either on the container. It's Military secret like this contest. :banana:

 

Last year we had over one hundred people who played. I hope we can top it this year.

 

I WILL POST THE PIC OF THE TICKET MACHINE NUMBER AS IT CAME OUT OF THE HOPPER FROM THE BANK WHEN THE CONTEST IS OVER

 

 

CONTEST ENDS SUNDAY NIGHT 12/21 AT 6 P.M CENTRAL TIME :blahblah:

THE CONTEST - READ CAREFULLY - PART #2

 

THE MYSTERY BOXES - U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY! :whee:

 

 

I decided to add something a bit different this year. This part of the contest is only open residents in the U.S. due the the shipping factor. I'll try and figure something out for you overseas freaks next year.

 

There are eight mystery boxes available. Each box is the same size and weight. Six of the boxes contain modern drek from back stock. Most are X - Men, Fantastic Four, etc, related books and such and I really don't remember whats in them as they were packed months ago. Most are unread store back stock so they are in nice shape.

 

Two of the boxes will contain a Hard Cover book. These are both brand new and still in shrink wrap.

I couldn't see spending over $25.00 per box to ship drek overseas or to Greggy's cardboard box, so that's the reason its limited to the U.S. I'll get you overseas guys next year when I have more time to figure something out.

 

Here are the extra prize books that are in two of the boxes. Brand new and still in shrink wrap. Like I said, these were packed some time ago and have no idea what box they in, and frankly could care less. Someone will get em.

 

I would appreciate the winner of these books posting it here when they recieve it.

1. Once I give the signal and the contest in in motion the symbol below will be randomly posted throughout the contest at random time's, in between the guess's.

 

This will continue up until the time that all eight boxes are claimed with a quoted :takeit: . I could post the symbol at 1:00 P.M. or at 3:00 A.M., could be the first five minutes, or the last ten, or when I roll out of bed to hit the can at four in the morning.

2. When you see the pulsating present, the first boardie who quotes the box with :takeit: gets it.

 

You must quote the box with an :takeit:. Winners by time stamp. I will then attach names to the quoted boxes as we go.

 

3. ONLY ONE MYSTERY BOX PER BOARDIE AND U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY. And that includes Greggy. :gossip:

 

4. Like I just said, once you claim a box, I will attach the winners name to it. One box per boardie. I know it sounds like alot of krap in this thing but its really pretty simple.

 

5. All prizes will be mailed out within 30 days of the contest closing. Have at it you creeps. :acclaim:
