YOU pick the prize! by Dane on 03-11-2005 at 02:54 AM

Hello,

This thread is about a contest that my third party Messenger Plus! Website will be doing ("Messenger Plus! Zone").  I cannot release too many details right now, however, at/after saturdays General Meeting I can.  Anyway, there will be two contests going on at the same time, both related and for real prizes.

Contest Prize Package 1:
This is the original prize package that we were going to offer.

First Prize: iPod Shuffle (512MB or 1GB -- Depending on Revenue)

Contest Prize Package 2:
This package was added upon myself and Time's discussion.

First Prize: $50 worth of purchasable merchandise, DVDs, Books, etc.
Second Prize: A Music CD of your choice OR an iTunes $15 giftcard.

Suggest your own!  We have been having so much trouble thinking of prize packages and trying to decide on which one, I am asking you to suggest your own or vote for one of the existing packages.  I will edit this top post as suggestions come in, and in one week or so I will discuss with Time the top option that was chosen.

The General Meeting (for those of you wondering) will take place at 3PM EST on Saturday, March 12th, 2005 on irc.msgplus.net, channel is #msgpluszone.  Alternatively, you can click here (mIRC users) to join!

Thanks for your help!

NOTICE: The limit for the amount of money we currently have is $150, however, depending on revenue during the contest we may add/delete prizes.

Lol, Lee, We havent finalized yet, and shh, the details on those images are private.  ;), I will begin using them after a decision is made 100% for sure.

Update #3: ThinkGeek Gift Certificate Added
RE: YOU pick the prize! by user27089 on 03-11-2005 at 04:57 PM

I say that the dvd's and cd's should be the best, I really don't want an iPod shuffle for some reason :s.

RE: YOU pick the prize! by Dane on 03-11-2005 at 04:59 PM

Heh.  Right now, I should clarify that these forums are not like myBB 1.0 RC3 and you cant edit vote counts, but since I added thinkgeek certificate it erased all votes, so if you've voted, DONT VOTE AGAIN!  iPod Shuffle Count (before delete): 16, DVDs, Books, Etc Count (before delete): 6.

RE: YOU pick the prize! by John Anderton on 03-11-2005 at 05:05 PM

Whats think geek ? :s Is it a cash certifiate kinda thing so we can buy something online. If so i wonder if i can buy a new graphics card online. How much is it for ?

RE: YOU pick the prize! by Sunshine on 03-11-2005 at 05:19 PM

Wow, Dane has become rich or summit....i still remember the pushin of hosting so he could buy a new computer... :mipdodgy:

RE: YOU pick the prize! by .Roy on 03-11-2005 at 05:47 PM

Also you can offer some web hosting. For an year or two

RE: YOU pick the prize! by .blade// on 03-11-2005 at 05:51 PM

Well since it's such a hot item (millions of units pre-sold) and the release is just around the corner - why not a Playstation Portable as like the grand prize in one of these?

It's $249.99 USD and comes with a bunch of accesories. IMHO ppl would like it a lot more than an iPod Shuffle :P

RE: YOU pick the prize! by paperless on 03-11-2005 at 06:08 PM

To me an iPod Shuffle or PSP would be both good :P

Please God i know i dont believe in your existence but help me to win rofl :P

When will you able to tell whats the contest about?
Do you send the prize to Europe if needed?

Im gonna vote for the geek certificate if i know how much its worth and ..... if they dont add psp. If dane adds a psps then ill vote for that no matter what :P I change my vote from ipod to thinkgeek dane ?
RE: YOU pick the prize! by Anubis on 03-11-2005 at 06:56 PM

Gotta go for Package 2: DVDs, CDs, Books, Misc., some people may not want an iPOD shuffle, however DVDs, CDs, Books and stuff can apply to anyone, ThinkGeek limits you, (and some people may not like buying from them, a minority I know). DVDs and Books are anyones cup of tea

RE: YOU pick the prize! by Tasha on 03-11-2005 at 07:03 PM

Package 2 will rule. :P So long as we get to choose what CD's and whatever if you win or something.

And i'll try to be there tomorrow. :o

But what if we dont have a choice and its someone that is of noones use. Like it sayz cd's but what if u dont like em. Same for books. If opt 2 is selected then the winner should have a choice for what he wants , which book / which cd :)

RE: YOU pick the prize! by Dane on 03-11-2005 at 11:26 PM

Lol, Okies, this thread has grown quickly.  To answer a few questions, to clarify, the chat is tommorow at 3PM Eastern Standard Time at irc.msgplus.net in the channel #msgpluszone.

As for the PSP, it currently isnt with in our funding limit, Our funding limit is $150 for all three packages (a.k.a. $150 of ThinkGeek Certificate, $150 in Music and Books, and $150 in iPod Shuffle (probably 1GB model)).

Should our revenue increase as greatly as expected during the contest, I will certainly add it as an option.
