PV although I like the idea, I just don't like the structure. I like to randomly give away things when people don't expect it. Sitting around in a circle playing spin the bottle to see who gets a gift doesn't sound like as much fun.

I like to share! I think it's a good idea, but I like games and contest as well. Broke/Drunkcon was a good example, people had a good time. The anarchy of the whole thing is what made it fun. There needs to be some type of Monthly thread, but you don't want to over moderate. Hmmmm. As Yoda would say,
"Think on this, we must"

PitViper, I think it's a good, solid idea.
There two reasons I wouldn't be willing to participate. 1)If it's the type of thing where there's a set limit of participants, and eventually everyone will win, you'd be better off just saving that $5 every month and buying exactly what you want when you save enough than putting $5 in the pot every month and hoping when you win that you get something you like. 2)It will be difficult to administrate. You have to have someone to control the money, ensure the randomness of the drawing, etc, etc. The logistics could be somewhat difficult to iron out.

BrokeCon is a perfect example. I gave away several prizes, and only won once... technically not even that, Unclassified donated his prize to me . But it was a blast. I think the fun sort of dissipates the more regulated these kind of things get, and what you're proposing would require a fair amount of structure and administration.

Well I think going to one of the mods first before starting a contest/event pass it on. Another thing is getting peoples real names and address.
I had an idea, but I don't know if it would work. Get a list of people, first person on the list buys/sends an item to the next person. Lets say it starts off with me. And I send out a 25th Stinger, and let's say Pit Viper is next on the list. I mail it to him. If he likes it, he keeps it, and sends something that he buys/has to the next person on the list. OR If he didn't want the Stinger, he just mails that to the next person, and keeps nothing for himself. The next time around, he may get something that he wants, but if not, he's just out the postage for shipping it on.

Pitviper - count me in on this one. We would just need a note to put in the floating box, so I know what it is and not just a gift from the joe gods. Which would be hella cool. And would be a pimp daddy defiant with a tiger force manimal.

That is a pretty good idea too Llama.
I had a similar one, basically the same thing--lets say someone mails me a Stinger--instead of just mailing it to someone else, I break it, put it in a bag...with say a dead mouse I found in my backyard and mail it back to the person that sent it to me. The original sender and now reciever of a broken Joe vehicle and dead rodent, then takes a pics of his face, which is sent to me and uploaded here. I REALLY went the longest route possible to get a laugh--but you take what you can get. Either way, your idea is pretty good too |

Is there a deadline? When? Is there a link? Where?
It's a great idea by the way, and I'll get involved if I can.
