Happy Birthday GameGrep!
GameGrep is 1 year young and to celebrate GG's birthday the staff would like to do something a bit special for you (the users!).
For the months of April and May we're offering not one, but four prizes!
Start date: April 12th, 2008
End date: May 11th, 2008
The basics:
- 1 prize per week
- 4 weeks long (4 prizes)
- Each prize must be "unlocked"
- Unlock prizes by achieving sitewide goals
- You must have over 50 points per week to qualify for that weeks prize
- Prize totals accumulate if weekly goal not met
- You can win multiple times
- Open to Neoseeker/GameGrep members only
if you're not a member Registration is FREE
If you have a Neoseeker account, you have a GameGrep account. Log in with the same information!
Entry:
Each week is a different contest and each week you must earn 50 points or more to qualify, it's that simple! You can see how many points you have and how many more you need on
the contest stats page.
You can gain points by participating on GameGrep. For more information on obtaining points please refer to the
GameGrep Points FAQ which will give you details on the many ways you can gain points!
How this works:
Each week we have a prize, and we have a goal. The goals are
site wide goals this means a site achievement for that week needs to be met before the prize is "unlocked". Once a goal has been achieved and the prize is unlocked, if you have 50 points or more you will have a chance to win that weeks prize! However, if the weeks goal is not met the prize for that week is
ADDED to next weeks prize! BUT the goal for the next week is raised to a higher requirement. At the end of the contest if none of the weeks challenges are met the prizes will be put into the GG Safe (which is under strict surveillance by Neocat) and used for another contest in the near future. If this contest turns out to be successful we can do this style of give-a-way more frequently with potentially better prizes!
Examples:
Example 1: Week 1's goal is for 6500 total points given out to everyone over the entire week. If by the end of the week only 6000 points have been reached the goal has been failed and Week 2's prize is now $100 rather than $50 and Week 2's goal has gone from 150 total news articles to 200 total news articles! A higher prize comes with a higher challenge!
Example 2: Goals for Week 1 and Week 2 have not been met, Week 3's prize is now worth $200 and the goal has gone up from 1000 comments to 1500 comments
Example 3: Goals for Week 2 and Week 3 have been successfully accomplished and winners are picked with prizes of $50 (Week 2) and $100 (Week 3), Week 4's prize is still at $200 because the previous goals have been met
Winning:
- Past GameGrep monthly contest winners are eligible in this contest
- You can win more than once (one person could win all 4 weeks worth of prizes!)
- You can only win if that weeks prize is unlocked!
- Winners picked based on the "weighted system" (see below)
The weighted system explained:
The weighted contest is based on the theory of 1 point = 1 ticket. The more tickets you have, the greater your chance of winning. However, it's all still based on luck of the draw so even if you have 50 points, you could still win!
