It's not a matter of getting the image in, it's a matter of pulling in people that follow a red name. I'm pretty sure you're aware of this phenomenon as you've chided BaB's for bringing in the "unwashed masses" in the past.

Pope was just suggesting we do it on purpose.

That's not the point though. We want to drum up more viewership.

I wish I knew my work schedule for that day. If I'm off I will defiantly be there.

This event is going to be pretty spectacular!
Well done, Pum. I can't wait to see how many people turn out!

The drumming worked!

The Merits sounds great. Although, how in the world can you award them when they can't be traded?

Read the fine print:
Quote:
Merit prizes are Task Force Merits. Since merits cannot be given or traded, the winner will direct me to spend those merits for them at a Merit Vendor in whatever fashion they want, and the product will be handed over to them immediately. Note that the spending toon _will_ be 50, so there are some limitations to the level of recipe the winner can get from this. Winner Merits can be banked for a period of 1 month before being lost, since I don't want an ongoing tally sheet of who I will owe merits to. Note that I am not available 24 hours a day, although I will try to accommodate your schedule in order to spend the merits in the shortest time frame possible.

That's the third time the merits fine print has been quoted in response to inquiries. Pum, perhaps you should bold, italicize and/or underline that particular bit of fine print so folks catch it?

P.S. Sounds like an awesome event Pum! Hope I'm able to make it!

Sorry, I was merely trying to provide information. Since they changed to the vBulletin forums there are some people that aren't aware of the picture posting capability that we now ... enjoy? ... as regular users.

I've seen others that were unaware they could post their own images wondering how to get someone to post them for them.

I guess I should just give up on trying to give information about the forum capabilities, or anything else for that matter.

Carry on.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Actually, I kind of like seeing who's paying attention. Gives me an indication of whether I should have put in the effort to delineate the conditions of the contest.

At first I was kinda getting antsy that no one had commented, so even if its to ask about something that is in the fine print, I'm happy.

Well I sure hope to have Niv and whoever else help out if the turnout is what I expect it to be.

Awww... don't be that way! It's just in the context of the thread, it seemed you didn't get the reason Pope was asking Pum about his PMing Niviene.

I thought I was pointing it out with the appropriate amount & style of Justice jocularity...

If you are currently on my gfriend list and wish to participate in this contest, you must no longer gfriend me before December 1, 2009. Note that I will not re-gfriend you if you choose to drop me from your list. I'm harsh that way, sorry.
Careful everyone! This is just a well though out ruse that Pum came up with to thin his globals list without looking like a bad guy. Not gonna trick me out of my hard earned gfriend that easily!

It's an expensive way to pay people for unfriending me...

Pum, I have posted your OP on my SG/VG's forum boards. Even though we run on Virtrue, you might get some of my folks to come on over and participate.

Good luck with your contest, I hope you have one helluva turnout.

Hmmm, I don't think my second account is on your friends list, maybe that one can participate? Haha.

Thanks for the bump on Virtue! I'm a bit leery of posting on other server forums and advertising in other server zones, I don't want to be too pushy with the event but I sure would like everyone an opportunity to attend.

If I were still being the helpful sort, which I'm not, I'd suggest asking one of the P.E.R.C. people to help advertise it on other servers.

After all, isn't providing assistance for people organizing events part of what they are supposed to do? At least, that's what we were told when they were originally formed.

Too bad I'm not still being helpful or I might have had a suggestion for you.

I may have to stumble drunkenly off of Pinnacle for a couple hours for this one.

I have a nearly empty set of slots on Justice. I'll have to see what I can come up with.

Kudos on the awesome contest.
