[Odyzen]

Congrats to the winners.

[court12b]

yep, grats guys

[Wyrm]

Grats to the winners!

[NoName]

Congrats to day 1 winners! Day 2 here I come.

[fitbabits]

Congrats to those who won yesterday. Now, about those Random deposits in my bank account...

[Johan]

Do we enter once each day for the GRAND prize, or just once in total? I'm a bit confused on that one, but I understand the rest...:)

Edit: Got it...once a day for the grand prize as well. Missed that! :)

[RandomViolence]

Congrats to those who won yesterday. Now, about those Random deposits in my bank account...

Yeah, fits... I don't see my name up there. What happened?? :p

[CrashCart]

Pretty sure it's once per day for the Wii, based on how last year worked. But it is confusing since the rules say one entry per prize, once a day for the grand prize. Then says only one email per prize.

In any event, grats to the winners. Nice to see some familiar names up there, among the peons. ;)

[fitbabits]

Yeah, fits... I don't see my name up there. What happened?? :p
A brain fart on my part... Check back tomorrow. ;)

[saneman]

Grats to the winners indeed.

I guess it's a bit much to hope for a nice wireless PS2 controller amongst the prizes for one of the days. Having trouble finding one for a reasonable price at the moment.

[Odyzen]

All entries for Day 5 must be received by Monday, December 18th at 6:59AM.
All entries for the Grand Prize must be received by Monday, December 12th at 6:59AM
Winners will be announced for Day 5 and the Grand Prize at 7:30 AM on December 15th I assuming the Day 5's winners will be announced the next day.

The date for the Grand Prize say that all entries for the first day are the only valid entries and the winner will be announced Friday. I don't think that's right :confused:

Doh. That's a typo.

You can enter once per day for up to 5 entries for the grand prize.

[AniAko]

Woah, actual people I know that post won. Congrats! :D

[BalekFekete]

Congrats to all who won!

[Atorak]

Keep the awesome prizes coming for the EvAv community!

[Spigot]

Ok, I need coffee. I almost entered for the prize I'm giving away. That's one way to save on shipping. Sigh.

Congrats to the day 1 winners!

HEY! Who put that profile name on my account? Grrr... FITTY!

[bapenguin]

Keep the awesome prizes coming for the EvAv community!

Wait till you see the rest of the week. Things get REALLY good. :)

[Mortis]

Grats all, I am looking forward to the rest of the weeks prizes.

[agentgray]

Wait till you see the rest of the week. Things get REALLY good. :)
I do NOT want one week with GunnyMo.

Sorry, Gunny...

[Lord Nerdious]

Wow, I'm really speechless guys. Thank you so much. Things like this really prove that this site is in touch with it's community. I guess I need to show up to Tuesday night GoW from now on!

[Atorak]

Wait till you see the rest of the week. Things get REALLY good. :)

[DaedalusFolly]

Thank you very much, an excellent surprise to begin the day.

[BabyJesus]

How do you, EA staffers, determine who won? Just curious...

[fitbabits]

How do you, EA staffers, determine who won? Just curious...
Generally, we pick names at random using some very sophisticated algorithms.

[Intruder]

Generally, we pick names at random using some very sophisticated algorithms.


They print out all the names entered and then lay thos names out on Fit's floor. Then they wait to see which names his cats crap on. Voila!! the winners are picked.

[bapenguin]

How do you, EA staffers, determine who won? Just curious...

1) List all emails with code and find out total number
2) hit up random.org and generate a random number
3) Find that user in the list...WINNAR!

[shnastybiznastic]

Congratulations guys!

I hope I win something in a drawing, I want to donate to Childs Play but I don't really have much disposable cash.

I would also like to thank the reds for not announcing the idiots who emailed the example in on a public forum (I don't care if oranges laugh at me, but you yellows don't get to).

[civil_dead]

Judging by some of the games he likes, I'd say they help him out in his purchasing, too.

Oh! Bam! I kid, I kid.

No really. Please don't ban me.

[Lutheran]

Congrats to todays winners

[GoblinToe]

I just have to say, the Evil Avatar Giveaway's are awesome! Thank you guys for putting all the work you do into making these happen each year. Entry is always a simple email, and no hoop jumping necessary. It's just plain 'ol fun!

[ilian]

wtf is a Zboard?

[pseudopseudo]

Z-board =

[Ozena]

wtf is a Zboard?

And you can get attachments (a la the Guild Wars one in this contest, snaps on over top the board) with specific keys sets for the game its designed for. I don't own one but I believe that's how they work. I stand to be corrected though.

[ezzkmo]

Thanks! It's Zombie time!
Congrats to all the other winners, and good luck to everyone else as well.

[ilian]

cool, i would totally sign up for that contest, but doesnt look like they have an ergonomic version =/

[mightbe]

1) List all emails with code and find out total number
2) hit up random.org and generate a random number
3) Find that user in the list...WINNAR!
*sets about hacking random.org to pop out "whatever number gives shit to mightbe" for all queries*

[Sense Field]

They print out all the names entered and then lay thos names out on Fit's floor. Then they wait to see which names his cats crap on. Voila!! the winners are picked.


I saw something simular to that on My Name is Earl. They would bet on what number the chicken would crap on!

Glad to see we use tried and true methods! ;)

[Kefkataran]

Congrats to the winners and good luck to folks on the next few days.

Not sure if this is known or not, but I believe we're giving away two copies of Okami? So maybe one is tomorrow... either that or I'm just wrong. :p

No, it was two copies of that other game. Unelss I'm missing something.

Edit: nevermind you are right. Another copy going in tomorrow.

[Disgustipated]

As said in the official rules thread (by Mightbe), perhaps the contest should only be open to people registered before 12/1/2006. And what's to stop people from making 10 EvAv accounts + emails?

[mikeohara]

I entered for the Wii ...

[Expugnare]

ineedamic, ineedamic, ineedamic, ineedamic, ineedamic. I was playing the most intense game of UNO every and it broke. Intrude, drink that iced tea!

[Mysterio]

Egads! I actually won something that my (ex) girlfriend didn't end up taking for herself! Woo hoo! Thanks for the prize! I've been a member of the site since God was a boy, so it's about damn time I won something! :D

I feel like I've let my ex-Chromehound mates down, since I haven't been on Live or contributed to the post count here since I went back to the corporate rat race. What are my ex-Chromehound mates playing on Live these days?

[pseudopseudo]

While I see how the contest could boost member count, and possibly bring some new contributors to the site, I'll have to jump on the bandwagon of people who think the contest should be limited to those who registered before December 1st.

Because while you might get a ton of new people signing up, how many of those (those specifically signing up to enter the contest, that is) will actually post here after the contest is over? I'm betting not a whole lot.

[cp#]

And what's to stop people from making 10 EvAv accounts + emails?

Oh shit good idea!!

I agree there should be a registration deadline or whatever you'd like to call it.

All I know is that I'm entering for the grand prize everyday :)
