Who won?

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
 
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
 
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

Negatory.

Double negatory you mean
 
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 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.

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

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'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"

Some of you vets need to learn more about this site..

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...........
 
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.
 
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
 
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.

I was mulling keeping 100 for myself and then giving $25 each to the top 4 posters. I have like way to many games awaiting play time right and besides getting Halo 2 and GTA SA I am not getting any additional games for a while

I am rooting for you to win. I got my eye on a copy of Contra:Shattered Solider
 
[quote name='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....[/quote]But so many nOObs and lurkers did enter this. 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. :)

thank you all for entering[/quote]

i dont think someone that got banned is gunna win...how are you even still here?!

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.
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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?)
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

you know you dont want him to call of the contest.
 
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.
