Hello AGD and AGD2:
I am giving out 1 unidentified Torch to one lucky player in US East
Hardcore Ladder. Here's what you have to do.
1. Send an email to my address above with the subject line: Contest
Entry.
2. On the first line of your email, write one rational number between 1
and 10,000.
3. Leave second line blank.
4. Write your account name on the third line.
5. (Optional) Leave fourth line blank.
6. (Optional) You can comment on why you pick that number.
Entry Requirement:
1. You must have at least 1 char in US East Hardcore Ladder who is at
least level 75 and in Hell Act V.
2. Your email must be EXACTLY in the format specified above, otherwise
your entry is invalid.
3. I must receive your email by Friday, Sept 30, 11:59 pm Eastern
Daylight Time.
4. You may only submit one entry (if you have multiple accounts meeting
the above requirement, I ask that you don't send multiple entries using
multiple email addresses).
5. Anyone may enter; you don't have to be a poster in either usenet;
you can tell your friends, families, nosy neighbors, third cousins,
etc.
Winner will receive an email within 24 hours of the closing time. No
other notifications will be sent.
How the winner will be determined:
1. An average of all the submitted numbers will be calculated.
2. The person with the closest number to this average win the prize.
Closest is defined to be the absolute value of smallest difference
between an entry and the average number.
3. Tiebreaker rule:
3.a. The one with the highest character level wins.
3.b. Second character on the same account. The one with the highest
character level wins.
3.c. And so on up to 8 characters.
3.d. The one with most character classes wins.
3.e. If it comes to this, multiple winners are declared, each player
will get 1 Torch.
Miscelaneous tid-bits:
1. I will not reply to any correspondences sent to my email address.
Therefore, any questions should be posted in this thread.
2. On closing time, a bot will be run to scan and compile the entries.
3. For the psychologically and mathematically minded, you can tip the
scale to your favor by picking certain numbers if and only if the total
entries are too small. Therefore, the contest IS CANCELLED if there
are less than 30 entries.
4. "Rational number" means round number; integer; no decimal point.
5. "Absolute value" means magnitude; positive or negative does not make
a difference. For example, the absolute value of (5-10) is the same as
the absolute value of (10-5).
6. "Eastern Daylight Time" is the current time zone in US Eastern
Coast; New York is in this time zone. There are many websites that
have time conversion tables.
7. If there are great interest, I may do another contest afterwards.
