Who won?

[spyhunterk19]

I wonder who won the 200 gift card...

[Reality's Fringe]

We all win. CAG has saved me way more than $200, so it'd be just a nice little random bonus. Everyone here, if using the website even a bit, should've saved more than $200. *End obligatory, yet warranted, praise*

[zewone]

I did. Selling the gift certificate for $100 cash. PM if intrested.

/sarcasm

[wubb]

Has the winner been picked? I figure Cheapy will either update the first post of that thread or maybe put something on the front page when he has an official winner.

[guessed]

I declare myself the winner. I selected myself at random, so it was fair.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

im really really hoping someone with 1 post doesnt win

[CaptainObviousXl]

well i hope i win, and have more than one post yayyyyy

[guessed]

im really really hoping someone with 1 post doesnt win

I'm really really hoping someone with fewer than 2283 posts doesn't win.

[supermariomelee]

im really really hoping someone with 1 post doesnt win

Noobs should've been DQed for the contest, it just doesn't seem fair for someone who just signed up to win the contest. Hopefully it wil be someone that deserves it.

[Cornfedwb]

Its to congratulate all of the 20,000 registered members (or CAG for 20,000 members, whatever).. it wouldn't make sense to exclude anyone.

[guessed]

Hopefully it wil be someone that deserves it.

That would suck. I want to win it. :twisted:

[CaptainObviousXl]

i think it makes sense to eclude every one but me

[punqsux]

i hope someone with over 5000 posts wins (did casey enter? :wink:)

[MorPhiend]

I hope someone named MorPhiend wins... \:D/

I really don't understand you guys at all. I would assume that these periodic contests are given to draw new people to this site, rather than to reward regulars for having stuck around for a long time. And *certainly* not to reward high post counts (what a horrible thought.) Clearly, a lot of you guys believe the exact opposite...that if only these "pesky 1-post newbies" to the site were excluded, it'd be a great contest. *sigh* If you insist on finding some advantage for long-term members, consider it the chance to have partaken in all of the contests held, instead of just the most recent one, which is all the "undeserving noobs" have had a shot at.
...and for God's sake stop bitching about it.

Can't we all just get along??? :grouphug:

[the_gloaming]

Some of us "newbs" just happen to lurk more than we post.

Wow, someone who has been around longer than me and has fewer posts... I hear ya man, until the past month, I was a lurker as well.

Cool sig by the way. Pro Wrestling rules!

[joeposh]

I agree... when people post things like "I think you should have to have more than (insert number here) posts to win!!!" it just comes off as selfish and misses the entire point of the contest. It's to celebrate the growth of the community, and without those "newbs" there wouldn't even be a contest to begin with. So let's just celebrate the growth and success of this board and be happy that Cheapy and Defender even extended this gift to someone period. Congrats to whoever wins... and congrats to the CAG community at large for becoming such a large and successful gathering place.

[CaptainObviousXl]

I hope someone named MorPhiend wins... \:D/
i dont know who that is but he sounds like a looser, also im not even thinking about winning, sure it would be nice but i have never won anything.

Congrats to whoever wins... and congrats to the CAG community at large for becoming such a large and successful gathering place. dude people here are just saying they would rather see someone that has been here for a wile to win, also pimp just used the mistake of talking about post count, i hate it when people get over sensitive when people talk about post coun. And also i dont expect to win this, there are about 1225 entries. That means you have a 1/1225 chance of winning. I havnt won anything in my life so im not looking forword to anything, but dont get your hopes up.

Actually, he's not a loser. He's really kind of cool! 8)

[CaseyRyback]

i hope someone with over 5000 posts wins (did casey enter? :wink:)

yep.

thats why I think someone with over 5200 posts should win

[Scorch]

I hope it's me.. 'cause I'm in debt by around $200.

[epobirs]

Hopefully it was won by someone born with a platinum spoon emanating from every orifice. Someone who gave out Steel Battalion sets as stocking stuffers. Someone who has a fulltime translator on staff just in case he has the urge to play an import. Someone who tracks CAG deals for the sheer amusement that anyone need concern themselves with the price of a video game.

That is the deserving winner.

[jlarlee]

The only thing that would get me mad is if someone enters a dummy second(or third or fourth name) and ends up winning with one of those

[Scorch]

I read somewhere that an unspoken rule would be that the user had to have at least 1000 posts, since some people registered just to reply and try to win. I hope that's the case.

[Pure Apathy]

Hopefully I will win :D

thats is fuckin great.

[evilmojo12542]

this should have nothing to do with the amount of post you make. I have been here longer than a lot of people that have 1,000's of post more than me does that make me not worthy or a newbie?

[MorPhiend]

Hopefully I will win :D

That is the greatest name (except for mine) in the world!!!

(Raw Is Jericho used to be one of my chat room names years ago... Glad to see someone who remembers the good old days...)

[zewone]

Being here longer is no more important than posts. Both are nothing to write home about. If I could remember my password for my first username I would have been here alot longer.

yea when I first came I just looked around and posted once in a while but as time went on I became more active ;)

[Kaijufan]

im really really hoping someone with 1 post doesnt win
I would be angry if that happened.

[Alpha2]

I think most people would be happy if it were them, but I figure as long as it isn't someone who only joined just to enter the contest and then never contributes ever again that it would still be fair.

Contests that draw people out of thier shells are better than contests that only attract bottom feeding hoarders that buy 100 copies of cheap games for ebaying and never try to help the community.

[evilmojo12542]

I for 1 can say I have never bought games just to sell them on ebay. I come to this place for great deal and get them. I just do not chat much as this is only 11 post in 10months

[slidecage]

I really dont care who won, just that they enjoy their free 200 bucks in games. whatever you do just stay away from nascar 2005 (shakes fist at EA)

[evilmojo12542]

I was thinking of picking that up this weekend is it that hard or just not that good?

if your talking about nascar, I just didnt like it at all 2004 is tons better. or pick up Dirt to daytona. Dirt is 10x better then nascar.

Weird, and I use that same screen name on other boards so all those trades I made on your account were an accident!!!

Ahhh, its fun to remember some of the old threads. :twisted:

[hiccupleftovers]

I really don't see what's the fuss aobut the contest. Sure it would be nice to have won, but I never even entered since I couldn't think of anything worthwile to post. Oh well maybe cheapy will see this and think on me sympathy :wink:

[greendj27]

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

i wonder when its going to be announced


im dying from suspense

[magforce x]

It pisses me off that some off you complain about "lurkers". I have a wife and 2 children and work my butt off and don't have much time to look for deals to post. When I do find them it seems someone has already posted it. My life does not revolve around being the first to find a deal. I am very appreciative to CheapyD and correct me if i'm wrong, but don't I contribute something to him when I buy something via a CAG link?....and I do use the links. I didn't sign up for the drawing, God forbid a "newb" won that.....and if I had won, I would have donated that back to CheapyD anyway. He's already saved me alot despite some of you children. So give newbs/lurkers a break. I guarantee you that many feel uncomfortable with some of the prevailing attitude from some of you....

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

i dont care what you guys say. if someone joined and posted once just for the contest and then wins. i will be pissed

even when they ever enter the contest because it decreases my chances

me being cheap allows me to accept anything for free

[evilmojo12542]

that is just stupid! It should not matter home many post you make or made. everyone has to start with 1. some people just chose not to sit in front of the boards all day. they are just as equal as you and deserve a chance just the same as you do

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

but do you know how it feels to be higher in the community.....................and losing to a n00b with one post and joined that same day?

i didnt think so either

[Scorch]

but don't I contribute something to him when I buy something via a CAG link?

Negatory.

[jlarlee]

but don't I contribute something to him when I buy something via a CAG link?

Negatory.

Double negatory you mean

[evilmojo12542]

lets say I won how would that make you feal I am far from being a "newbie" but I do not post very often that makes you better than me? if so you need a bible and a life

[Alpha2]

You dont have to post a deal to be a productive member of the community, just helpful. In all my 1000 some odd posts I've posted maybe 2 deals and I think one of them was already posted in another thread, but I participate in discussions, post impressions on games to help others with their purcahse choices and share information about things if someone has a question I think I can answer.

Hell if everyone posted a single deal we'd all have 20,000 games to choose from, which sounds great but is also just slightly ridiculous. Not everyone is going to find a deal just be greatful to those that can and help your fellow CAGs when it's humanly possible.

[epobirs]

lets say I won how would that make you feal I am far from being a "newbie" but I do not post very often that makes you better than me? if so you need a bible and a life

You get to order the free stuff but you have to let the delivery guy administer serious atomic noogies.

[biggestinuyashafan]

i think what a lot of the people are saying about the 1 post people is that they registered to win, posted 1 time and probably wont ever post again (unless it is to gloat). it wouldn't bother me if a newbie won as long as they were active members or if someone was here a while just lurking. but the brand new people that only joined for the contest is what bothers me about them having a chance at it. oh well, it is cheapyd's choice and we all have to deal with that no matter how much we may not like it.

[jlarlee]

lets say I won how would that make you feal I am far from being a "newbie" but I do not post very often that makes you better than me? if so you need a bible and a life

I don't think anybody is saying that they are a better person they just feel they have contributed more to this site.
Like for example say there was a contest for volunteer people to paint a mansion and every volunteer got to put his name in the hat once to win the mansion regardless of how long he worked. If you spent 10 hours painting that bitch and then some guy came in and worked for 15 minutes during the last hour and ended up winning that place if your the guy who did ten hours wouldn't you be pissed?

[spyhunterk19]

if so you need a bible


Spyhunterk19's question of the day!: Why does owning a bible make you a better person? Does it really? Does it? Come on, be honest, it dosnt.

'How can I support the site?
The best way to support the site is to buy through CAG's "Cheap Ass Links". The stores pay CheapAssGamer.com a small commission (at no additional expense to yourself) for most sales when purchased through these special links. " -"about CAG"

its a referral link, same scheme as the conga line. get so many people to order from this link, you get this and that and so on...........

[spyhunterk19]

I agree with whoever said that said that some vets need to learn to shop through links, but i also say that people need to stop using religion as a judge of character.

[evilmojo12542]

I am just saying that we are all equal and should treat eachother that way. honestly who cares who wins who ever it may be will probabbly spend it through a link from here supporting the site it is a win win for both winner and cag

[Scorch]

I think that if I won, i'd donate like.. 50 or 100 bucks to Cheapy. I'm not saying that to kiss his ass or anything, I just love the site and the discussion and everything.

If the lurkers are so appreciative of this website, why don't they try to do things for it? Like Alpha said, you don't have to post deals to contribute to this site. You can however help others out by giving them help with games or advice on what to get. It doesn't seem that anyone with 1 post could have possibly done these kinds of things. They may buy through the links, which is an important part of CAG, but they don't contribute ANYTHIG ELSE. That's why we don't like the lurkers.

However, you have made it clear, that you somehow respect the guys who post (I think) by not entering in the contest like so many others who haven't contributed. In turn, you get respect for that. :)

[greendj27]

Seriously, that's just stupid. You're not higher in the community, you just have more free time.

That is so true. Some people get a big head with regard to their post count. Not everyone has the time to post in every little thread that pops up. If I did that, I'd have 8,000 posts by now.

[gokou36]

Post count means jack to me. Most people here either bumps their thread to get a post up or they spam in other threads just to get their post count up.

I'll admit it would suck if someone who just registered to CAG just for the contest to win would suck, but it is CheapyD's contest and we should let him handle it.

[help1]

I dont have many posts cause I only post when necessary, BTW I have been here aslong as the others have too.

On another note, I think who ever has halo 2 GIFS inthere SIG and as their AVATAR should win...

or atleast the most gangster guy around!!! :twoguns: :twoguns: :twoguns: :twoguns: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ :-({|= :-({|= :-({|= Whops how that get there

[spyhunterk19]

Um...we are not talking about you with 268 posts, we are talkign about the guy who joined the same day the contest started just to enter it and will probably never return to cag again.

[help1]

Dead Topic

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

why does no one understand me and spyhunter


ive been here alot during my FULL 9 months of my time spent here. i know there are people who have been here longer but when someone comes into a thread with 2 posts and calls me a n00b becuase they joined before me is stupid. not like it has anything to do with anything but most of my posts are in the trading forum or on game/CAG/deals discussions. i rarely post in offtopic and i rarely make stupid topics(i have made topics to vent though, thats why i said rarely) im just trying to say that i feel that i have been here and talked with alot of people here to not be a n00b. i joined around last years christmas(therefore im a n00b?)

[CaptainObviousXl]

this is so stupid, dude its not a big deal because so many people entered, your not gonna win. It prolly is going to be someone with the rank newbie and people are gonna throw a hissy fit.

[spyhunterk19]

One thing is for sure, the person who wins better not leave and never post again.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

but what can we do about it????




the answer is nothing. this is supposedly a random contest anyways so ANYONE can literally win..........alot of 1 posters entered of course, way more than actual members that post here did because they outnumber us.

[Trakan]

Cheapy is picking the winner based on what they said about CAG, isn't he? I doubt he'd pick a noob with 1 post.

[magforce x]

I understand that people that post alot feel they deserve some recognition but.....this contest can be seen in two ways. One, it can be seen as a reward to people that post alot or two, as a chance to attract people to the site. Obvioulsy, CheapyD chose to include everyone. I am not speaking selfishly as I chose to pass on the drawing. Please stop whinning and give people a chance. If this contest did attract alot of newbies, just hope that this community grows. I think most gamers that enter this site will stay. Even if a small percentage of those become active members, everone wins, especially CheapyD.

[zewone]

I think its a random drawing. Pull the name out of a hat type of thing. I think the CAG thing was just for filler so it wouldn't be filled with: "Post+1" or "Bump" or crap like that.

[spyhunterk19]

Na, its random, would take years to read all of those posts.

[CaptainObviousXl]

god it doesnt relly matter who wins isnt he doing this to make cag better. I mean if it brings more people to these forms who are gonna make the fourm a better place i dont relly care if a 1 time poster, or a newb wins, also pimp smurfs a newb i joind 5 days before him

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

nice one captain............when is the damn winner going to be announced. jesus christ how hard is it to pull a random post????????????

[bryankasch]

Myself I don't care who wins. THe contest may have brought new people to the site that had never heard of, after signing up, liked the site and will turn into regular contributors. That 200 would be a cheap deal on advertising.

But then we have elitist people who sit and worry about something as trivial as FREAKING POST COUNTS!! As if anyone but you cares about how many posts you have. I don't anyone sits and thinks man I wish I had as many posts as user x. I post when I have a good deal, a brag, or looking to make some trades. If it was up to me we wouldn't even keep track of post counts, then we wouldn't have this discussion, Oh wait yes we would people would just talk about when they joined next. Geez just move on, it is a contest like 1000's of others on the net. This one just happens to be on a site we frequent.

This isn't directed at any one person (though a couple came close), its just its a way of Cheapy D saying thanks, and getting a buttload of new people to see the site, plus it works for vgd as well.

[CaptainObviousXl]

wow all the op said was "I wonder who won the 200 gift card... "
we got this war over that statement

[Reality's Fringe]

No, the "war" is a result of people thinking that they are owed something for being here longer, having more posts, etc. etc. It's really quite sad that it's gotten this ugly. I say CheapyD should just call it off and let Defender keep his money.

[spyhunterk19]

Has any one else watched Dragon lord frodo "power down" thats one disturbed individual.

[fireball343]

I have nothing wrong with someone who has been here a while and posts rarely to win. What would not be okay with me is somebody who just joined to enter win, or someone who always lurks and NEVER posts.

i can see how we all want someone with 100's of posts to win because then it's like a friend won and not a stranger.

Co-sign that... people seem to be forgeting the purpose of the contest is to celebrate the growth of CAG and be all inclusive. CheapyD is smart, he knew that he'd get people coming here and signing up just because of this contest. I meant that's part of the purpose of having it on the front page and making a big deal of it.

Whoever compared it to painting a house has a valid point... if that scenario applied in any way to this contest. It doesn't. If it was gauging who has contributed the most, embodies the spirit of CAG or helped make CAG what it is today... then you'd have a point. But the purpose of this contest was to celebrate a milestone for this site and give away a token of appreciation by extending a gift to anyone who cared to post what CAG meant to them. This was meant to be a celebration, not an arguement. It's random for a reason... let's just accept that and put this all behind us.

No, the "war" is a result of people thinking that they are owed something for being here longer, having more posts, etc. etc. It's really quite sad that it's gotten this ugly. I say CheapyD should just call it off and let Defender keep his money.
you know you dont want him to call of the contest.

[Reality's Fringe]

Not especially, but if it stops all the fallout, then I'm all for it. Like I said, this site has saved me WAY more than $200, so it would be of no real consequence. The contest is in HONOR of reaching 20,000, not to mention totally random.

[jlarlee]

I say we have death match to decide winner. I will bring my plunger. CHEAPASS KOMBAT!

[Zenithian Legend]

And I will bring my cannon

[Scorch]

And I'll bring my Trident.

[kaji7p56]

I'll bring my security baton.

[CaptainObviousXl]

ill bring my light gun

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

I have nothing wrong with someone who has been here a while and posts rarely to win. What would not be okay with me is somebody who just joined to enter win, or someone who always lurks and NEVER posts.

i can see how we all want someone with 100's of posts to win because then it's like a friend won and not a stranger.

worded perfectly! if someone who will never post again wins, we will never hear what he got with the money and how happy he is with it. maybe the person is really rich pretending to be a cheapass


EDIT: ill bring my xbox controller and whoop you all(the "duke" controller that is....)

[Zenithian Legend]

I'm also going to bring a stripper to distract you all, while I shoot you with my cannon.

[smalien1]

I'll bring..
my redeemer
my golden gun
my colt python
my AT-ST
my rocket launcher
my sawed off shotgun
my chainsaw
my love for hoagies
my uzi
my chocobo

[mousin]

Let me ask everyone a question.

In all those contests by EVERY company (Pepsi, Fox, MGM, Snickers, etc) do they HONESTLY give a shit if you bought one of their products, saw their movie once, etc etc etc etc, and then never did so again?

No, of course not.

It's a CONTEST. If some lucky 1-post guy wins it, then oh well, that is why it is a CONTEST.

Sit around and bitch all you want. You have the exact same possibility of winning as they do (except for the asses who login under multiple names, but those cheaters can burn in hell).

Snickers doesn't care if I buy one Snickers, win 10K, and then never buy another Snickers. I had the same chance as any other person to buy that specific peice of candy and win the contest.

That's the cold hard truth. There are assholes in real life that will screw with systems for their own personal gain. Game hoarders come to mine.

Just take it with a grain of salt...

[CaptainObviousXl]

good job with words. I totaly agree and couldnt of said it better myself (seriously i suick with words)!!!

Um...I agree to u to a certain extent but then another part of me points out a blatent mistake.

Of course pepsi cares if you buy there products...thats why they have the damn contests in the first place. Do u think that the head honcho who designed the contest thought...I have a great idea....lets give away money for no good reason!!!!! To those companies its all about profit.

[Strell]

But they won't go "OMFG YOU BOUGHT ONE PEPSI AND WON WHILE THE GUY WHO NAMED HIS BABY DIDN'T WIN."

There is a difference between profit and winning a CONTEST and we're only dealing with one of those things right NOW.

[spyhunterk19]

They do hope that you buy more of there product....its there crazy scheme to mabye....i dont know..turn a profit.

[Strell]

You are missing the point entirely.

A contest is designed to sell more products. This contest, probably, is ALSO designed to bring more people here. More people here = more profit for Cheapy.

Now then, as far as the profit metaphor goes, Snickers WILL NOT TAKE MY PRIZE AWAY if I bought only one Snickers, the same thing you poeple are bitching about. THAT'S THE POINT I AM MAKING.

So deal with it.

[spyhunterk19]

Mabye I am, but id like to see whoever wins at least hand around a while and post.

[Strell]

Me too, I'm just saying what the reality of the matter is.

[Kaijufan]

Do we know when the winner will be posted?

[spyhunterk19]

I dont know...how long does it take to pick a random post :lol:

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

yeah man, its been forever......................feels like its been a fuckin week

[CaptainObviousXl]

why are you guys soooooo eger to find out the winner, do you really think there is a chance you will win. I think cheapy should keep it from us as long as possible to tell you the truth. The longer he keeps it from us the more those "one time posters" will be back. I just thought of something couldnt people create another sn just to enter the contest. This would be a reason to look out for those one time posters though.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

everyone who did that is getting DQ'ed

[smalien1]

What's up with your invisible sig? What do you have against defender?

[CaptainObviousXl]

that was from awile ago when cheapy whent on his weding and defender was incharge. It was an undercover secret. if you look hard enuf you might be able to find another person with it but its unlikely cause it was from a wile ago

[guyver2077]

yea lol i remember it. it was when everyone though defender was going drunk with power

[epobirs]

yea lol i remember it. it was when everyone though defender was going drunk with power

It didn't help that we kept refilling his mug.

[Jrunt20x]

Boy would I love to win. But hey whoever wins, congrats and enjoy it.

[Kaijufan]

yea lol i remember it. it was when everyone though defender was going drunk with power
I thought it was pretty funny calling him Mr. Defender.

[LV-426RS]

Word is defender won.....
