Win Some Free Space Empires Stuff!

geoschmo · #1 June 19th, 2002, 06:18 PM

Shrapnel Games and Malfador Machinations have generously offered to donate some valuable Space Empires merchandise to the Space Empires Play-By-Web service.

Starting today and continuing until Friday, July 19th, any donation of five dollars made to the Space Empires Play-By-Web service will entitle the donating individual to an entry into a prize drawing. Two lucky people will be selected and have their choice of either a gift certificate for a free copy of Space Empires IV Gold, or a free Space Empires IV mouse pad. Note that you will be entered into the drawing once for each five dollars you donate, so the more you give, the more chances you have to win!

Donations can be made at PBW via Paypal. In the past we have had a few people reluctant or unable to use Paypal for whatever reason. If this is you and you wish to donate, send us an email at admin@pbw.cc and we will give you an address where you can mail a donation. However, for the purposes of the drawing, any mailed donations must arrive before the end of the contest period on July 19th.

We appreciate greatly the support of Shrapnel, Malfador, and most importantly the loyal fans that make it possible to keep the SEIV PBW available for all and free of any user fees, subscription costs, or advertisements. We try hard to keep our overhead costs low, but the reality is that there are month to month costs involved in any sort of operation such as this. Your donations make it possible for us to offset these expenses. Without your generous support those costs would have to come out of the pockets of the Admin team members themselves.

We thank you again for your support.

The nice thing about these sticky Posts is it keeps the thread near the top of the forum. The bad thing is, I am not sure anybody reads them.

Anyway, if you are reading this, there is one more week to get your name in the drawing. So far response has been very good. The donations received have allowed us to get caught up with our monthly expenses, although it would be nicer to get a couple months ahead on them too.

Thank you again to Shrapnel and all those that have supported PBW.

I read this!

Unfortunately, I don't have any money to donate.

I'll donate what I can again later this next week.

Thank you for PBW.

Ok, one more day!

The deadline to get entered in the drawing is Friday the 19th at Midnight EST. We probably won't have the drawing or announce the winner till Monday though. I am going to be out of town tomorrow and unavailable part of the weekend.

Thanks again to all that have and will donate, and thanks again to Malfador and Shrapnel.

Good Luck.

The names have been drawn and the winners notified. I am waiting to hear back from them before I give their names publicly. Some people like to remain anonymous.

Everyone that donated should have got at least an email from me saying the names had been drawn, even if you weren't selected. If you donated and didn't get that email, send me one please.

So... Who were the lucky winners?

geoschmo · #8 August 26th, 2002, 02:23 PM

CNCRaymond was one of them. The other guy I am not sure what his handle is on Shrapnel and I don't want to just give his name out publicly.
On PBW though he goes by Chardo.

Hello Geoschmo! This is the first thing I have ever won! I feel like going out for a lottery ticker now <j.k.> I am pleased to be part of the fortunate winners.

Did you get my e-mail in response to winning? My I-net connection has been a little odd, until I just now moved the wireless transmitter, so I'm not sure my respose ever got out.

Just so you all know, I'll be asking for a copy of SE IV Gold so I can snare my brother into this game. Having kids, he cannot by such things for himself.

Thanks again and good luck to all if there is a next time. Now, time to go to PBW and get trounced by Imperator Fyron.

maybe this should be taken down/un-stick-ized.

Since the contest is over. Unless Geo wants to keep this up for more donations
