Tomorrow night, we will be giving out more free stuff to the winners in of our Chat Lounge game of the evening. The problem is that I am currently undecided as to what kind of game to run.

What kinda contest would you like to see? Trivia? Something else?

Post your ideas in here!

Thanks.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my above post. I have edited it for clarity. :)

I meant "What kind of CONTEST would you like to enter in the chatroom in order to try and win a prize?"

ive never played your giveaways before but i think a trivia would be cool. just make sure you write down the rules and times (im central time baby!)

I guess you can't enter if you've won in the past 90 days... bummer. (Enjoy the T-Shirt) Oh well, I was thinking, why not hold the contest on like Friday? If the concern is getting more people to show up, wouldn't the weekend be better?

I kinda liked the trivia, of course, maybe I liked that because I won... The wallpaper contest was a cool idea, I'd like something like that again where people can't complain about having slow computers- Where we all have an equal amount of time.

Of course, I could be wrong.

how about a 300 word or less essay on why we think we should win the prize and the person with the most BS wins?

I think one time at least you all should do something like jepordy but there is always alot of people. Personally I perfer questions to the whole room instead of searching out the picture. But then you are earning your prize more buy searching the picture oh yeah.

I dunno. i was thinking an anonamous pick. Like putting our names in a hat. And drawing them out. But would be really cool is people have to search on the site where there is a link and IF you find that page then oon the page there is this thing like where you can send a email to someone and the first one to send it wins. That would be cool but kinda dumb. Many people wouldnt find it. Or maybe we can have another grahic contest! For like RAW. :) I could win.

Ah mec, eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww, dude.. I didnt know you were like dat bro!
j/k:D
Anyways, im not saying chat room contest arent good ideas, but what about us that dont go into the chat rooms because we dont want the big wigs at our jobs catching us in there do?!:confused:

I know you all just had the wallpaper contest but I think you guys should make a contest for the forums boards too! Just an idea, but dont know how the contest would take place though:eek:

I see further clarification is still necessary.....

The Chat Lounge Giveaways generally feature smaller prizes such as T-Shirts, Hats, Single Games, etc.

The CONTESTS (such as the recent wallpaper contest) feature larger prizes, such as multiple games, peripherals, accessories, etc.

We can't very easily open up the chatroom at 9:00pm and ask people to create a wallpaper in 30 minutes in order to get a T-Shirt.

The Chat Lounge giveaways generally revolve around trivia questions, with prizes going to those who respond with the first correct answer.

As far as not holding these giveaways in the Chat Lounge because some of you cannot access them from work, all I can say is that no matter when we hold these giveaways, there will be someone with the same problem.
