Title: Did/Will you enter in the Phantom Hourglass contest?
Post by: bluaki on September 27, 2007, 06:47:20 PM
Well, I probably won't. I've had the full $30 paid off on my pre-order ever since November 2006. Sure, I'd want the $30 for selling it, but that would ruin the contest if I actually won and did that...

No, I didn't enter, as I have no where near enough posts. Slim chance of me getting them on time too.

I don't have a DS, so I didn't enter.

I won't enter... why did I put maybe?

*changes it*

I'm getting it for sure on my B-day, which is mid-october, so... it's kinda pointless to have another.

i might, but probably not. the big reason is because i don't have a ds and the only thing i would do if i won would be to sell it. :P

The only thing that concerned me was getting the post count in time, however, from my busy moderation, I reached it quite quickly.  ;D


Yes, I have entered.

do you guys think there should be a rule that you have to have a ds to enter the contest?
Title: Re: Did/Will you enter in the Phantom Hourglass contest?
Post by: Genius on September 27, 2007, 06:59:54 PM
Even if I manage to get the posts in time, I doubt I'll enter.  It's not something I'm hugely interested in, so I figure it would be better to let someone else have it.

Find a way to enforce it. :P There really isn't a way to prove they have a DS.

I'd love to get the game, but due to obvious concerns I won't be entering the contest and I'll be buying two copies.  One for the contest and one for myself.

"pix or it didn't happen :|"
I don't think it really would have to be enforced though. Just go with what the person says, let them enter if they claim to have a DS, that would eliminate anyone who is honest, and I don't think there is much point to try to win a game you can't play.

Eh, for some people it's best if they don't enter. It's one thing if you were hoping to win the game and someone else wins and enjoys it, but it's another thing if somebody wins it and just sells it to a store for a quick $30. The latter would likely cause more disappointment...

I entered. If I do win, it means I wont have to spend money on PH, and can get other awesome games. I normally dont have money to spare for gaming.

All you have to do to enter is send an email to contest@nsiderforums.net. If you win, then I'll ask you for your address.

Don't worry.  Snorkel has the magic ability to send it to you telepathically.  No shipping required.

snorkel, i know you want a lot of people to enter the contest, but wouldn't it disappoint you if the person that won sells it right after they get it?

Hm, they should be.  It's working fine for me.  Do you have a smiley set chosen in your settings?

Also, I don't really get what you'd expect him to do.  He could ship it somewhere near you, but what's the point?  Much easier to just get it to you.

Anyway, if Snorkel actually wants everyone to enter, I guess I may as well do it.  It would be better than someone who would sell it getting it.  I just don't feel right about doing it, for some reason.  I'm weird like that.

That's odd.  Only an admin can check that stuff, so ask JMV or Snorkel.  One of them should be able to help you.

I don't see the problem.  It's not like you're giving your address out to the whole community.  I doubt anyone would do anything with it.  There's nothing to worry about.  No different than giving your address for a contest at a bigger site.  They all work the same way.

The only way to claim your prize is to give some place for it to be shipped to. I REALLY doubt that the admins would do anything with your address other than enter it into the "ship to:" field when buying it or writing it as the receiver when they ship it out to you.
If you, for whatever reason, really want to not give your address, I guess your options are:
1. Not entering
2. Getting and using a P.O. box
3. Giving the address of somebody you know who can be trusted to give you package and is fine with it
