Valentine contest:

How many miles are on my red (2002) car's Odometer?

Contest:
-This is going to be a bigger giveaway that will last a week.  It ends at 5 pm US East time next Thursday (Feb., 16, 2012).
-The rules are pretty simple. Guess how many miles are on my car's ODO.
-The only details you get are getting is that it was made in 2002 and that it is a car (compact).
-The only proof you'll get is a picture of my username next to the ODO. Right now I don't know exactly what it is.
-No duplicate entries.
-The first two posters will get .5 BTC each automatically with their guess, as well as a chance to win with their guess!


Winning:
-The person whose guess is closet to the number on the car's odometer will receive 3 bitcoin.
-Second and third place will receive 1 bitcoin each.


*All variables in this contest are subject to my use, misuse and abuse and will be conducted how I see fit. If you feel
this rule, or any of the 'contest guidelines' stated above might conflict with you in any way, please refrain from participating.
Thank you.

Good luck!

First two posters, please edit your posts and display a link to your wallet for your .5!

I want to make sure these are current so I want them posted rather than taking one off a profile/sig.

Thanks!

Ok so there is no editing DUH, just post them please.

Still new to this site guys! Sorry!

Can't edit -- it's an auction post. :)

Hello guys!

Thanks for playing, everyone seems to be going by the rules which is great!

I just want to clarify a few things about my contests. First of all if you haven't read the disclaimer in BOLD
at in the original post you need to do so now.

-I also wanted to clarify that I am not responsible for lost, sent to wrong address or misplaced bitcoins that are won.
-I am not responsible for replacing ANY coins you don't receive for ANY reason.
-If you have a problem with this, do not participate.
-If you feel you can not accept the fact I don't accept responsibility for the coins getting to you and plan on ruin my reputation for it do not participate.

Obviously, with the nature of the prizes it would be very unwise (and expensive) for me to re-send funds and hold some sort
of guarantee. I cannot control all variables, and thus I offer no guarantees. My contest will always consist of at least three winners to try and deter fraud/reputation ruining or any display or active or covert aggression. If other people are getting their winnings and you are not, this is not a good sign. I do realize shit happens, and you need to also.

Aggression, fraudulent claims (signing up for another name, etc), nonacceptance of all rules and guidelines (already stated several times) is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

If I have to I can get real strict in determining who gets to play and who doesn't (requiring post count, etc.) Hopefully, people will have enough respect for my contests so I do not have to conduct in in such a way.

This is meant for fun and I am not here to waste all my time and not send you a prize, we will keep things real professional on here. If you end up on the ban list, I rarely take you off. Any and all submissions/comments by you will be ignored and the game will carry on as normal.

Sorry for the long posts, but I plan on using these are referrals for those who chose to get out of line and for new contests. I will not tolerate disrespectful, immature and aggressive (covert included) members and allow them to participate. I cannot stress the point enough that if you feel you cannot accept any of these, please, do not play.

Thanks!

There is no need to post an address.

I will PM the winners for valid wallets for many reasons, such as making sure its a valid wallet/user.

The main reason is I'd appreciate posting back that you received winnings. This somewhat helps site popularity (my main goal here) because people can't just log in once to vote and just wait for coins without logging back in (in a week). 

People like to see contests with winners. They are more apt to play them if they can physically verify people claiming winnings. Such as seeing someone win the lottery making you want to buy a lotto ticket. The more people that play, the bigger I can make them. When they are big enough I will require people to confirm as a guideline.

Really? So it wouldnt be to inflate your "credibility" so you can convince more people to sell you bitcoins for paypal (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63176.msg741529#msg741529), would it?


Oh, doh, my bad.

P4 you obviously have it out for me. Get over it. I did not need much credibility to obtain all the coins I need through pay pal in the first place. I have met some cool people here along the way to trade and exchange with. I also helped legit noobs get credibility as soon as I had some and have traded with as many people I could who wanted to trade. I did it honestly and with trust, I am not a scammer of any kind yet you seek to constantly, aggressively pursue giving me a negative reflection.

If by credibility you mean meet more connections then sure. That is a great thing to do if you are an exchanger. I get my bitcoins through my own Dwolla account now and trade with people via pay pal. I have many means to get them. I like to trade and exchange. You are not some investigator exploiting a scammer or theif , anyone who wants to see my previous posts obviously can do so.

As you can see, I have already earned some reputation via otc. and as of now I don't really need any credibility. But instead of checking my ratings and seeing I already have the credibility to get coins you'll continue to rant for no reason I'm sure or come up with some other BS. I will continue to do these competitions, even after establishing a solid reputation, making you look foolish. Even then I'm sure you'll continue to rant.

Because you have some sort of personal agenda against me, that I don't really feel responsible to trying to invalidate, nor comfortable with a sort of belligerent confrontation, please refrain from playing or posting in my threads. You seem to have a personal issue with it, which is cool, I have no problem with that and I apologize you feel that way. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Alright guys, about 5 more hours and the contest will end. I have been called into work so winners will be posted today, around 8 p.m. east.
However the 5 p.m. east time cutoff still stands to submit your votes!

So if you have not votes, make sure you submit a vote! Very easy bitcoins!
