This time, instead of just giving it to whomever posts the 800,000th post, I'm taking the names of those who posted in that 24 hour period, putting them in a randomizer, then the name that pops up will get one $80 gift certificate to amazon.com (or another site if they prefer so long as they sell e-mail delivered gift certificates.)...

Get ready, I think it may be tomorrow.

:D

Ahh, but whose tomorrow??

Very good idea, although were't'me I would wait for the magic million.
8 is a very lucky number in Cantonese, incidentally. It has the same sound as money. so $88.88 would be money, money, money, money.
2 is also lucky. It sounds like 'easy'. so 28 is 'easy money' and 228 is 'very easy money' (easy easy).
Never offer anything containing 4 though. That sounds like 'death'. Tower blocks never have fourth or fourteenth or twenty-fourth floors because no one would live there.

8 is my lucky number, and $80 could buy me a half case of ammo.

Personally I prefer prime numbers. But 800,000 posts is pretty darned good.

78 more to go... I'm pretty sure it will be today's 24 hour period. I will use Mountain Daylight Time. Anybody who has posted today is eligible, somebody will get a gift certificate.

Why is Heywood eligible?

Also, you forgot King of Names :cof1:

Damocles
04-24-2011, 10:13 AM
King of Names didn't post yesterday. Odd, but true. I took my name out of the mix, because if I won people would always wonder. And Heywood/Rtber is eligible because he posted yesterday.

I would have removed trolls. I was surprised nobody played that.

Yes, yours were included.

Damocles

Okay, I'll give this until 7:00 PM tonight, anybody who thinks they were missed should post something here by then. I'll run the drawing at that point, and announce the winner.

Why don't you just give it to the person who actually made the 800,000th post?

/MSG/
04-24-2011, 02:16 PM
Because it'd be me. And we can't have the greatest poster ever winning as much as I do.

Topspin!

PM me with the e-mail you would like your gift certificate sent to Topper.

Thank y'all for making this one of the better political forums online. We may have our trollbots, but it is a fun place to post.

LOL. Maybe. I haven't seen him post today though. I'm happy to give away a reward. It's likely that some time later this year we'll give another for 900,000... And then I'll try to come up with something big for 1,000,000...

I'm glad y'all participate on the board. We have a good mix of opinion which makes the site enjoyable.
