Get ready folks. The winners of my raffle will be announced Monday and Tuesday. If you don't hear from me by Wednesday, sorry, but thank you again for your participation. If it weren't for you, Extra Life would not have surpassed the $450,000 mark.
If in the unlikely event we reach $10,000 before the 2010 deadline (Nov. 15), I'll include the Fist of the Northstar clock and some other unlisted items as thanks.
I too will announce the winner for the $25 Amazon gift card around this time.

~ Prizes ~
That's right. Thanks to the generosity of other CAGS, we now have prizes!
Basic Rules : To enter, please donate directly to the CAG who has the prizes that you are interested in. Because the donor page does not list CAG names (only real names), we ask that you post in the thread your name, how much you donated, and to whom you donated (or if you posted in bluedotlounge's contest thread post, here, that's ok too. Just as long as the prize donor knows). This makes it easy for the prize donor to have a comprehensive list of donors to match with a CAG. There are two kinds of giveaways.
(1) Raffles
(2) Donate a certain amount, receive prize.
Beside each person's name will be the specific rules for that raffle/giveaway.
Let's look at what is behind door number one...
RAFFLES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- bluedotlounge - Donate by clicking HERE ----
Here is how it will go. For EACH DOLLAR you spend you get ONE ENTRY into my raffle (this goes for both donors donating to his page or players raising).
Example :
Donate $2 to bluedotlounge's page, earn 2 entries.
Raise $2 on your own page, earn 2 entries. (Those raffle entries will apply to you as the donor, not the people who donated to you.)
You will also earn a BONUS if you donate more.
$5 will get you 6 entries
$10 will get you 12 entries
$20 will get you 25 entries
$50 will get you 75 entries
I estimate to have about 75 items to give away so if you spend $50, you could theoretically win all of these! After the end of the marathon, the raffle will be held through random.org, which will keep everything legitimate and transparent.

Hey fellow CAG's!
I decided to dip into my personal game stash to help support the cause.
For every donation of $50 or higher from a CAG member I will send you any ONE of the xbox 360 games below.
The games are used but in perfect working condition. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
After you donate, PM me on CAG with the name on the donation (so I can verify that the donation is legit), which game you want, and the mailing address to send the game to.
I will update this post ASAP when each game is taken so that you know what is still available. If I receive multiple donations requesting the same game, the person who PM's me first will get it and I will ask the others to request a different game (you can PM me a second choice if you'd like). Once all games are gone, sorry but I'm out of prizes after that. I WILL run this honestly and fairly. Worst case, you are supporting a great cause!
PRIZES:
Donate $50 and receive as a gift :
Just Cause 2
or
Red Dead Redemption
or
Split/Second
or
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
or
Fable II
or
Gears of War 2
or
The Orange Box
or
Little League World Series Baseball 2010
or
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
or
Lego Batman
or

NOTES :
Thank You in advance!
I know not very game listed is worth $50....but its for a good cause :-)

GOOD LUCK!
GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, VIET...I MEAN CHEAP ASS GAMER!
As many of you know, 10/16 was a very, very special day.
That's right. It was Sweetest Day, your favorite hallmark holiday! Did you tell your significant other how awesome they were?
That's not why you are here though, is it? No. You want to know how much money was raised, don't you?
So how much money did the star studded CAG team raise? Last year, cheapassgamer.com raised over $5,000. This year, as of 10/17, we have raised...
$9,222
(In before "OVER 9000!!!!" joke)
Outstanding. Exceptional. Amazingly Awesome. Look at that total! Not only did you almost DOUBLE last year's total, but you have proven, once again, that cheapassgamer is one of the most generous gaming communities on the web. In a world where gaming is often looked upon as an immature hobby fully of 13 year old racists, you have proven that the activity is evolving into a hobby that can be used to make the world a little less sucky.
Pat yourself on the back. That is an order.
So how about everyone else? Did this trend prove consistent across other gaming communities? In 2008, $120,000 was raised. In 2009, $170,000 was raised. In 2010, as of 10/17, the world raised...
$423,877
Holy sh*t. Good job EVERYONE! That is an amazing total that deserves to be recognized.
So how did the night go? Personally, I had a hell of a time. Aside from a few problems caused by the new Xbox dashboard beta, the night was full of new friendships, hilarious glitches, and a 4-person Halo Reach CAG team that could not be taken down...in team deathmatch (CTF was a different story). The chat room was also a great time!
I appreciate all the "Thank you for putting the team together and running the thread" messages. But without you, I am just a man running a little thread. YOU are what held this team together and made it what it is. You deserve just as much praise as anyone else. EVERYONE INVOLVED - GOOD JOB!
About the prizes -
Please, feel free to continue donating. What really matters is helping these children out. They are still accepting donations, and they will be for a while (November 15th!).
But because we want to get these prizes out at a decent time (and before the zombie takeover),
WE WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING PRIZE ENTRIES ON MOST PRIZE GIVEAWAYS (unless clearly stated). HOWEVER, BLUEDOTLOUNGE'S RAFFLE IS STILL GOING ON!
Raffles will be completed and prizes will be handed out ASAP! Keep an eye on this thread for updates!
And once again...
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
