Ten approved, young sir, and those ten must break into at least three categories. We don't want 9 million YouTube FUNNAY submissions. We're looking for creative and interesting bullmeep.

That, and you need to announce your entry HERE to be eligible.

Mr. spod seems to be the first official contestant.

Holy wind to you, Sir.

(did I get that right MAM?)

^ The fine-print is much bolder now.

Can we get a list of eligible contestants from our linkswarm stats thread?

...or do we really need this particular rule?

I say drop the gauntlet and let these mothersniffers brawl over the honor of accepting this prize.

Call me pessimistic, but i fear this idea will be another Operation Market Garden. A brilliant end-around play that will fail miserably.

But hey, I salute your efforts. Carry on.

I'm not trying to be a meep. I have high hopes for this. I just don't want anyone to be disappointed if it doesn't work. Like I said, I salute the effort. It's better than anything my feeble mind has come up with.

Ten links total.

Third prize: A $25 Dunkin Donuts gift card.
i'd get in on that action but...
To qualify for entry you must have ten or fewer submitted links

is this singling out noobs? or rewarding the lazy?

seriously though, i'm a poor college kid who cant justify the cost of trying out an alpha for any period of time but would love to give it a shot.

ok I am in, but only cause you offered the free coffee

Jimbobber: ok I am in, but only cause you offered the free coffee

Sorry Jimbobber, in order to qualify you had to be a current member as of the first post in this thread.

These are the lucky contestants

spod r0b0c0p sikki_nixx heimer66 Regulator bigdoug2005 HankRearden MistaCharisma acheron bobacus

Last place will be determined by the contestant with the least number of approved links. In case of a tie then the last person to register for the contest with the least approved links will come in last place. Clear as mud?

Good Luck. Rock the fuk out.

as of about 1:30PM california time, this is the count so far:

spod - 1 r0b0c0p sikki_nixx - 5 (just got a 5th as i posted this, i think) heimer66 - 1 (or 2, depending on the time) Regulator bigdoug2005 HankRearden MistaCharisma - 1 acheron - 1 bobacus - 1

i may very well have counted wrong, but i think this is the current tally.

Sikki_Nixx out to the early lead, with 4 (5?) approved links. everyone else needs to step it up if they want free things.
