How will the numbers be drawn? Random.org?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

something like that

bump and make it a sticky

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Woo Random drawing!

Glee!

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Random commentary:

Your chance to win a prize, assuming the four games were completely full and no repeat draws, is 26%.

Also know in gambling terms as pretty good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

EDIT: I assume those who have already been granted beta slots are excluded from winning another?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

I forsee a problem concerning me (I apologise for my ego). There is no point me winning Red Lobster or Olive Garden certificates. We have Red Rooster, not Red Lobster and I don't even know what Olive Garden is (Greek food?).

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Italian.

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

yes if your in the beta you cannot win a beta slot or a copy of the game.

Randellw cannot win any of the gift certs except the shrapnel one.

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Woo! Red Lobster here I come!!

/me rubs hands expectantly...

Tho' I'd rather have the beta slot or a copy of SE V...

But crab legs.... mmmm....

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

I'm sorry to say I will not be able to make it to the 4pm draw in irc #spaceempires. I found out I have a prior engagement. I might be able to sneak in, but chances are I'll not make it. Since I'll be out of town and nowhere near a computer. I expect to be back sometime in the early evening, but even that is not a guarantee.

Oh well, c'est la vie, Good Luck everyone.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Nothing wrong with Saturday, it's just me. I thought you'd like to know ahead of time that I won't be there. This in no way affects the prizes I'm donating.

congrats to all the winners, all the rest are invited to the cantina for a brewski or two on Tesco's tab http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Well, the game I participated in was more about drama than a good game of SEIV, so I'll accept this consulation prize.





LOL, seriously! I was glad to be a part of the tournament, and I thank all of those involved that made it possible!!

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Consolation prize?!? You got a beta slot man!!

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

ALNEYAN has tossed back the 25 dollar gift prize.

The name that was drawn was MAC.

Congrats Mac.

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Any word on which ship set the winner chose yet Tesco?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

I actually won something????? I never win anything, wow, thanks everyone who made this possible, I have written a 10 page acceptance speech, but after inbibing some brewskis, I lost the pages... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Alneyan that was very generous of you

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

You owe me one now Mac; don't worry, my requests will be very... reasonable. A FBW would be enough to... compensate for my kindness. That should work out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

(In case you are wondering, I tossed the price as I purchase Shrapnel games through a French retailer: easier, slightly cheaper (shipping fees...) and much faster.)

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

any reasonable request shall be honored. As to a FBW, well, you will have to work that out with them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Drop by the cantina for a brewski, just be careful of the cartoon meyhem and order what you want

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

hi folks. Tonight I will post the new winners for the random draws. Busy weekend with the MS walk which I help out with so I have been away from the computer for a few days. Basically I just kept up with PBW and thats it. Then next few weekends will be the same.

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

and now you've got me wondering who didn't accept what. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif When tonight?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

well i was called back into work last night... so tonight.

on a good note. Helped raise 60k for MS

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Good for you, Tesco. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Do you still need this topic stickied or can we release it now?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

He hasn't done the second drawing yet, so..who knows?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

release it please

RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

Still says "Sticky" in the title

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

So did the second draw get called off, or just not announced?

Re: Sticky -RACE TO SEV : RANDOM DRAW 09/04/05-16:
 

well i was working out some final details with the last 4 players. As I need to send off one big package... to the winners, and to the prize donators.

As a late prize was added to the mix when the last game was being finialized. One of a 500 USD value http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So just one more legal item to work out then I will be sending all the packages off...
