Cheap Ass Gamer - View Single Post - Contest (CAG Foreplay #25): Win Capcom Swag

Justme8800 · 12-06-2007, 06:07 PM

I just want to remind some people to put reasons for each of the packs they want to win. It can be anything as simple as "because it looks cool" or as elaborate as you like. But just posting an order without any reason doesn't quite cut it. It's not too late to edit your posts, and that's fine, just do it before the contest is over. For example:

Anyways, you get the idea. For some examples of how to do it right, see these:

Please and thank you!

XD at eating zombies! Thanks, that cracked me up.

Objection! pack: Phoenix Wright keychain plushie, Mega Man buster pen
-top of my list. huge fans of both games. the pen's great and my Gamestop "ran out" of plushies. they "runout" of preorder bonus all the time

Xbox pack: 1600 LIVE point card
-just got rock band and all that DLC is expensive or new halo maps...damn microtransactions

Zombies! pack: Revive, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition game guide
-i mainly just want the drink, it's just cool. strategy guide? are you saying i suck at games

Yo-ho-ho! pack: Stickers, holographic puzzle, and stress squishy treasure chest
-i just got a wii for Z&W as well as mario and i had to make the horrible choice of picking one over the other. Z&W lost but i'll pick it up later. damn mario galaxy hype

Awesome! pack: Monster Hunter "My Pet Poogie" WATERMELON PIG plushie,
Lost Planet Collector's laser matte print w/ certificate of authenticity
-i hate monster hunter and lost planet...the fuss about those 2 titles confuses me. on the other hand, i know someone who's a fan of monster hunter, and he LOVES (i'm not kidding) lost planet. so he'll be the one who gets this stuff. i'm kinda embarassed that he's such a big fan of mediocrity. oh yeah, the person with the horrible taste in games is my brother

p.s. i'm still eyeballing that shirt.

Excellent post, good sir. So excellent, in fact, that you win the secret contest! Well, the secret one I came up with just now soley for you to win because of an awesome post. The reason the shirt wasn't up for grabs is that I've already worn it a couple times, but if you don't mind that, I'll send it to you (it's washed and all). All you have to do is read this post and PM me!

I wonder if I've got any more secret contests? Maybe...

I want to win these because I have a stressful thankless job and I have never won anything. The last 3 years my company has had a raffle for prizes like a wii and a 360 and I was 1 number off winning both. Close but no cigar. Take pity on a Sys Admin / Software engineer and hook me up with some loot.

Interesting story, thanks for sharing! The reason doesn't necessarily have to do directly with the prize (though that helps), just with why you want to win it.

or

The Xbox pack because points are always handy, even if none of the arcade games have been good lately.

Thanks Shipwrecks

Yeah, kids would love these stickers! Thanks, Shipwrecks!

I should win the Xbox pack because I gave away all my point cards as gifts or sold them to fellow cags, and now still haven't purchased a single arcade game yet :(

Zombies! pack: Revive, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition game guide

I should win the Zombie pack because I haven't seen that Revive energy drink in any stores around me. And it says it's made by the Umbrella corp. Which is frickin' awesome.

Awesome! pack: Monster Hunter "My Pet Poogie" WATERMELON PIG plushie, Lost Planet Collector's laser matte print w/ certificate of authenticity

I should win the Awesome pack because I have a place on my wall itching for that plaque.

I should win all these packs because I actually took the time to write out reasons for all of them, instead of being cheap like the other CAGs and using just one reason for all of them.

Nice post, I agree, you should win! We'll see if the random number generator agrees with us. >.>

To everyone who said thanks, you're welcome! I don't have much money, so I'm glad I got this chance to share the love. Merry Xmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, and/or Happy Birthday. Happy Holidays in general, you get my point!

Good luck,
