A very nice lottery. May the randomest/bestest forum member win! Or, should I say, may the odds be ever in your favour! :)

Wonder what my odds are. I have been around for almost ten years, have a decent amount of games, posts, and contributions, I guess that might count for something. Though I'm no forum-junkie like some in this thread :)
 
I won't go in to too much detail. But the idea is that it is more like a lottery, but set up so that long time members, good posters, owner of many games etc have a slightly higher chance of winning.

We did the same with the 200K celebrations. Or well, two people then won a life time supply of games.
We will provide more information when the time draws closer.

Well for my pennyworth;

I think Paradox should decide to give awards like this to people like me! Why?

Well look at my signature. Look at what I have contributed over the past YEARS. 2 manuals, is it 3 ported mods, and my current mod as well, and the tutorials... . Not to mention the other work I did for other mods and projects.

I'd forget about the huge posters.. or the guys who contributed maybe 1 thing a couple of years ago... or the guys with huge amounts of posts.. mostly spam I'd say.

If not me, then I'd expect the "guys who contribute the most" to be rewarded. That would be fair.

EDIT; AND if I had to nominate a person for this award, it would be Bizon of the DH forum. Why? Well the guy has contributed hugely to Darkest Hour, is very obliging in that he will create a program to save the drudgery of manipulating text files on request, has and is creating mods constantly, and programs, and among all the guys on the DH forum, I think they would agree with me to nominate Bizon. Cheers

Anyone who quotes Hassel is a worthy winner in my book...

It's a lottery, mate. I too would love to be rewarded (there is very little spam in my post count, for example), but i think a lottery is more just... or there will always be a dude to go "hey, i am more deserving than him".
 
I have been waiting for this all my life.
 
I wouldn't even want it to be honest. I like to think that Paradox does so good, because I throw money at them, and also because there are members (Veldmaarschalk) that deserve it FAR more than me. GO VELD!
 
So many people to kiss-up to, so little time. :laugh:
 
*Kiss*

Wait?! Oh, you're not one of them :(
*looks up* Free kisses, eh? How to get in on this...

Hey, hey you! Yeah, I pick the lottery numbers!

... actually, now I think about it, I'm not that big into kisses.
 
You cannot nominate, and yes a brand new member could win, the contest was designed to be inclusive, rather than exclusive, to put it in lottery terms everyone will have at least one ticket, it is just that the more active and the more you have contributed and the longer you have done it for, will get you more tickets so to speak.

It's probably 1 base ticket plus:

- 1 per registered year
- 1 per registered game & expansion & Collector's Edition
- 1 per every 500/1000 posts

If so, I'd have 12 tickets.

By contrast, gigau would have 100, SAS 80, Jaya 63 and Veldmaarschalk 124 tickets (Excluding free games like HoI: TGC or the 200k icon, and including expansions and CEs as extra tickets).
 
ForzaA apparently went on to make a living harassing poor scripters...

OH my god I have to complain to Johan about that scary scary avatar. How'd you get that?

It's a lottery, everyone has a chance of winning.
