Dr.X's Christmas Contest 2016 is in motion.

981 posts in this topic

O.K. Folks, we're going to get started in a few minutes. But first things first. I would like to keep this thread somewhat normal if thats possible. I would appreciate it if we leave out the bouncing boobs, degrading animated Gifs and stuff. Keep the personal dispute stuff out of here, and lets just get along for a few days and have fun. (thumbsu

 

I also hope we can top last years contestant total of 135, so spread the word.

 

Please take your time and read all the rules. I've changed a few things this year to try and make the contest better, and more interesting so I hope it all works out.

 

I would appreciate it if you would hold off on posting until I get everything up and running. Again, take your time, there's plenty of it.

THE RULES :rulez:

 

1. You get "ONE" guess for the four main prizes in this contest, and one guess only. You have four days to figure up a number. Take your time. lol

 

2. I write down the answers as we go. If you go back and change your answer, your disqualified from the contest, so don't be a dork or a dorkette.

 

3. :news: Closest people to the actual amount, wether higher or lower will be the winners. :acclaim:

 

4. Contest is open to any legit boardie. If you're on the probation list, in the HOS, or I just don't like you, kiss my azz. lol

 

5. If you notice someone in the contest that's on the Probation list or in the HOS, please bring it to my attention and I'll run them out of here pronto.

 

6. Everyone is eligible to win the main prizes and you are limited to ONE mystery or ONE bonus box too. Lets give everyone a chance to win something here.

 

7. Please only post for a book if you want to read and enjoy it. (tsk)

 

8. Shipping is on me anywhere you are. All prizes get mailed out within 30 days but usually much quicker.

 

9. CONTEST DEADLINE IS 5 P.M. Central Time on Sunday the 18th (thumbs u

This years contest will just about the same as last year. Why break tradition. The main contest is the same. There will also be the Mystery Boxes, and the Bonus Boxes, and maybe a raffle prize but not sure yet. :o

 

I have a huge container that I save coins in all year. At the end of the year I cash it all in. You know the program. Try and guess the amount of coins on display.

 

I usually go to the bank a few times a week. To sweeten the pot, I randomly picked up a few rolls of dimes, quarters, whatever, here and there.

 

I also tossed in a random number of Gold Dollars ( face amount is one dollar ) between 1 and 19, so take your time guessing. No dimensions or weights on the containers or coins, suck it up. Who cares what it weighed, it was heavy. :banana:

 

I hope we can break last years attendance record. Let's try and keep this thread clean, and nonsense free. (tsk)

 

I WILL POST THE PIC OF THE TICKET MACHINE NUMBER AS IT CAME OUT OF THE HOPPER FROM THE BANK WHEN THE CONTEST IS OVER

 

 

CONTEST ENDS SUNDAY NIGHT 12/18 AT 5 P.M CENTRAL TIME :blahblah:

THE MYSTERY BOX RULES

 

 

Once I post the coins the contest is in motion. The symbol below will be posted throughout the contest at random time's, the same as we did last year. No need to quote the package though.

 

This will continue up until the time that all eight boxes are claimed with a :takeit: . I could post the symbol at 1:00 P.M. or at 3:00 A.M., could be the first five minutes, or the last ten, or anytime of the day or night. (shrug)

:news:

 

Next up. The container with the change. Remember you get one guess only. You can P.M. me with any questions if you can't figure out what the h ell is going on around here, or you want to just sit and B.S.

 

Don't make me send Greggy after you.

 

Iron Man has tissues available after you realize the guess you made was fricking wretched and a complete waste of thought and energy.
