[Defunct]

Simms, put VoR in the comp and take me out.

A live shoutbox for the draw will be a great idea. Just let us know when you want it run and one of us will sort it.

Thank you oh! gracious one, but that is not necessary :sign15:

[Enjoy~The~Game]

When is the draw?

Aw that's kind of you.

I was searching for a website or something to do it but I guess i will just have to physically write them down and do it by hand.

I'm pretty busy up until my exam on thursday, so maybe thursday evening?

[Defunct]

Thank you oh! gracious one, but that is not necessary :sign15:

Shut it and take the place. If you don't I'll just edit you in anyway. Sorted! Simms, do it.

:naughty:

Thursday evening it is. 8pm OK?

Two piles of paper, pick a name, pick a team, post on the shoutbox as you do it. It'll be dramatic.

[TheDon]

Can't you do a video draw and upload it to YouTube?

[simms]

Yep sounds great.

I'll also write it down as Im doing it and post a full list in this thread.

[PaddingtonsYellowArmy]

i was out all day yesterday and didn't see this - what about a terd batch of 16?

[simms]

i was out all day yesterday and didn't see this - what about a terd batch of 16?

Would there really be enough interest?

I'll leave it up at Admin to decide.

[Smithy]

I'll do the shoutbox if needed.

[Defunct]

Would there really be enough interest?

I'll leave it up at Admin to decide.

I'd have to say no. Leave it at 32, the bear will get over it ;).

My own competition has unlimited entry places so everyone will have at least 1 to play.

[PaddingtonsYellowArmy]

u can expect to hear form my lawyers -feckin animal racists...

canuts!

You can have the place admin offered me Mr Bear, I really don't mind :cool:

[PaddingtonsYellowArmy]

very kind of ya vor - but i funk i'll go the way of the lawyers at these animal haters.. there is something very fishy in their organised monopoly of entry to this torunie. They will be summonsed to the small clams court and trust me that aint a red herring and no i aint shoved them no bait.

[darave8]

I'm in.

[TheDon]

Please use that page and do a video draw. That'd make my life.

[simms]

OK Draw has been completed.

I shall verify it and double check, and the results will be posted live at 8pm in a shoutbox hopefully.

Be there for be unsynchronised.

[Wazza]

Doh! Missed this

[simms]

Just realised Im relying on one of the Mods to have remembered and to open the shoutbox soon.

[simms]

Oh wait it's friday. What day is it today? Oops.

[The PozzMan]

Thursday Simmsy.

[YellowKicks]

What's happening?

[LLST]

Yep, Thursday at 8pm it says.

[simms]

Ah I got confused and saw I wrote it closed on thursday, but nobody opened a shoutbox up at 8 anyway.

I'll post it up after I've finished my takeaway or wait for a mod to open it up.

[simms]

Congratulations to the winners. I'm not sure what to do about the prizes because originally I intended it to be 1 person per team so you may have to split the prize money or decide between you who wants the letter/money etc.

I'll let admin decide.
