givaway prizes

Archive: 9 posts


I've been watching my EXP lately and have noticed that i seem to have far too much of it for my own good. I've also always wanted to do something like the infamous Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing givaway, and similar contests. Now i would appreciate your opinions on what should be given away. Should i give someone an infamous Ultimate Bundle, or split up the exp into smaller bundles (ie: more winners)? Should i just set exp amounts, if so how much each? Should i just give away stickers? Also, i have an idea for one larger contest, should it just be that one contest, or should i try and spread the wealth more with random number drawings?

Results of this discussion will determine when i start said givaway (based on the EXP i need to accumulate first )

I say you make people record a video or audio file of them singing a song they wrote based on a theme of your choosing. This will yield some interesting results, and give the community a good laugh. 2009-08-28 02:24:00

that could be amusing as well... but it could also be painful I'm going to eventually name it "BV42's Hot Stuff givaway" if that "sparks" any ideas. But what i'm more looking for are community opinions on how i should divide the loot. (if any division at all)

EDIT: and i'm not giving away the topic for one of the givaways, no head starts you see

I would make it an all-or-nothing deal. One winner, everyone else loses. Go big or go home.

I'm all for the classic top 3 method. Gold, Silver, & Bronze- with Prize amounts differing for each place. And then have a few runners up who all win the same, smallest prize. . . like say you could have 5 or ten winners in all. This might encourage less competetive people to enter your competition if they percieved they had a higher chance of at least winning a little something.2009-08-29 05:59:00

Thanks for your opinion, if you were to divide it up like that, how much exp would you give each? hopefully not too much 2009-08-29 06:34:00

Figure out how much you wanna give away total. Then i'd say give 60% to first place. 20% to 2nd and 10% to third. And if you wanna include a few runners up i'd give em half of what you give to 3rd- or like 10 exp, whichever is least. I don't know what your competition is. . . or how hard it will be. . . so whatever the amounts; you'll have to judge for yourself if they are fair for the difficulty of the contest.

lol. . . i just did the math and I only gave you 90%- eh. . . you get the idea.
