ACIN's Contest: Win and Receive a Free Game from yours truly!
Ok, let's really spice the frontroom up. So back in my thread where I said I would change my name, I had a little contest where I gave a free game to whoever guessed correctly what my new name was going to be. If I remember correctly, it was Moros and I sent him a copy of Civ III complete edition on steam.
So now, I want to have another contest. But this time, it is a win-win for me because I find myself struggling to read for extended periods of time, even though I know I should. So I have devised my new contest which goes as follows.
I have a ton of books. More than I can read over the next couple months. But I want to try and go through as many as possible. Here is a picture of all the books that are currently on my to do list: https://i.imgur.com/KTC88.jpg
Now, the way to play the game is to guess how many books I will have finished reading by the end of my fall quarter of school, which ends officially on December 8, 2011. Whoever is the closest will win a game from me on steam.
Now the incentive here is for me to try and read as many books as possible, if you count the number of books, there are a total of 31 books*. No one can guess 31 books. The highest amount you can guess is 30. If I manage to read all 31 books before December 8th somehow, then I win. That is the incentive for me to read more.
Q: But ACIN, what if everyone has already picked #0-30?
A: Multiple people can guess the same number. There will be "tie breaker" of sorts to determine who will actually win the game when multiple people have chosen the correct answer.
If multiple people have chosen the correct number "x", then the sudden death round will consist of me asking those individuals to choose which books they think I read. I will provide a list of all the books in that picture, and contestants will give their list of books they think I have read. The contestant with the highest number of matches wins.
*There is actually only 30 in the picture. There was one book I left out in the picture, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" by Mark Twain.
You can guess from now all the way until the clock strikes 00:01 (24 hour clock, Pacific Coast US Time) December 8th, 2011. If by some chance two or more people win the sudden death as well, I will buy them both games for a job well done.
All valid guesses must be in bold like so: Guess: (some number)
Discussion on what books I am likely to read, how many I might be able to read, general free discussion about books and whether or not the books in question are garbage may be discussed. But no spam please.
Contest starts now. I hope this makes life a little bit more exciting for you guys.
