5 days to 2015 Contest - Prize Awarded & Contest Closed

Unread post by badpete69 »

Hello UC Members

Another great year come and gone for our hobby and 2015 looks promising. To celebrate the new year, I thought it would be fun to have a small contest and I am offering a little something from my collection. I know it's nothing to fall off your chair but free decks are always good especially if you passed on them when they first came out.

The rules are simple and similar to past contests we have had on the forums in years past

I have picked 5 cards from a deck (actually my daughter did) and yes it is guess the cards.
On day 1 which starts at midnight pacific time on the 27th (about 2 hours from now) you have to guess the first card I picked. On day 2 you have to guess the second card etc etc so it gets easier every day

Everyone is allowed 2 picks every day and anyone that guess right each day is in for the final drawing for the prize which will be held on January first 2015. That means that yes you can pick cards that have already been chosen for that day. Each day at midnight pacific time, the picks reset and you now have to pick for that day.
5 days left until new year so five days of guessing to win 5 decks. This contest is for UC members only that have been registered as of December 15th or previous

I am offering a couple decks from D&D the latest Fulton Halloween deck and the HMNIM octopus deck. I am also offering one black gator back and one green gator back from David Blaine and finally the first limited to 1000 deck from Collectable playing cards, the Crystallum deck . And of course free shipping anywhere in the world for the winner

UPDATE: Looks like Necromanced has agreed to add to the prize pool and generously donated a heretic Uncut sheet that he will ship himself to the winner. I have thus decided to make a second prize for the contest and thus a second winner. When I draw the winners from the qualifying names, I will let the first winner pick his prize, the cards or the uncut. Otherwise the rules stay the same. Good luck all

UDATE 2: Mike Encarnacao who used to be the lead design for Elite cards has generously offered to add to the prize pool by offering 11 decks, yes 11 decks from his collection. This would make 3 different winners for this contest. We will use the same method of determining the winners, and winner number 1 will get to choose from the 3 prizes pool. Here's a pic of the decks he is offering

Happy New year everyone and let me know if you have any questions


DAY 1 Qualifier: Ashe ----------- Winning Card: King of Hearts

DAY 2 Qualifier: Ryansworld4 and Dazzleguts -------------- Winning Card: 4 of Clubs

DAY 3 Qualifier: Ashe ----------- Winning Card: Jack of Hearts

DAY 4 Qualifier: Cbkimble and Calypso -------------- Winning Card: 10 of Hearts

DAY 5 Qualifier: Ashe ----------- Winning Card: Seven of Spades


DRAWING RESULTS:

I assigned each of the winners a number based on the order that they had picked the right cards and won the day. Using Random.org to pick the numbers. So we had this

1- Ashe
2- Ryanworld4
3- Dazzleguts
4- Ashe
5- Cbkimble
6- Calypso
7- Ashe

DRUM ROLL PLEASE. THE WINNERS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

FIRST PLACE: Ashe... Number 7 came out first. Ashe picked the Elite deck set. Your info has been sent to Mike E for fulfillment of your prize

SECOND PLACE: Ryansworld44 Ryan picked my deck lot and those will be mailed by Monday

THIRD PLACE Calypso wins the uncut from necromanced


Congrats to the winners. Ashe please PM me as soon as you can with the prize you are picking and your shipping information. I will contact Ryansworld44 and Calypso after I have Ashe's choice

Once again thank you all and have a wonderful year. Don't miss the 5 days to 2016 contest coming in 360 days or so

The odds of any one person guessing correctly for five days in a row are 1 out of 9,746,100.

Since we do not have that many registered members of the forums, I'm guessing that it is very likely that nobody will guess correctly for all 5 days. Still... I'm in!

Day 1: 3 Clubs, Jack of Diamonds.

Thanks, BadPete! This should be fun!

Hey Rousselle

Hope you enjoy the contest... basically all I am looking for is for someone to qualify each day which will be very easy.. I am not looking for someone to guess it right each day as it is nice to get as many people in the final drawing..

Gotcha! Okay, now that is funny. I totally misread your first post.

The odds of any one person guessing at least one day correctly is one out of five. Heh. I like those odds. :)
