The thought that the Romans sent so many coins to India that they were adopted as India&#039;s currency, and then imitated, just illustrates the point that the ancient world was more connected than people tend to suspect. Things like that always fascinate me.</p><p style="text-align: center"><b><u><br /></u></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><u>How the Game Works</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>The object of the game is pretty simple: Guess which CT member the above coin belongs to out of the five participating members.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=74712]@FitzNigel[/USER]</p><p>[USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]</p><p>[USER=28531]@H8_modern[/USER]</p><p>[USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER]</p><p>[USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>There will be 5 total game threads and at the end I will hold a drawing to select 5 winners from those who played the game. Participants can earn multiple chances to win based on the following rules.</p><ol> <li>Guess who the owner of the coin is and give a reason why you think that. (Ex.: I believe that this coin belongs to Curtisimo because he likes that kind of ancient coin.) This is the minimum requirement for entry into the drawing. Please include a reason with your guess!</li> <li>Anyone who posts a photo of a coin along with their guess (related or not) OR gives a particularly well thought out or amusing reason why you guessed a certain person will receive an extra chance to win.</li> <li>Anyone who guesses correctly will receive an extra chance to win</li> <li>Anyone who is a young numismatist (age 18 or younger) will receive an extra chance to win. If you are a YN please say so in your entry post.</li> </ol><p>In total there can be up to 4 chances to win for each member in each thread!</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><u><b>A Note to our Selfless Members!</b></u></p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you may not feel comfortable entering a giveaway because you would rather see the prizes go to a less experienced collector. That is a very admirable sentiment and I am prepared to make arrangements so that all of our members can feel comfortable playing and entering. This series of threads is more about having fun than about exchanging coins and I want as much participation from our long time and experienced members as possible. If you end up winning and you would rather the prize go to someone else you can either designate that person or allow me to choose on your behalf.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b><u>A Note to the Volunteers</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>If you would like to follow along with the results of the poll feel free to vote for yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b><u>A Note to Poll Voters</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been asked some questions about voting in the poll. The intention is that the poll is just for fun and to track general trends and<b> <span style="color: #ff0000">comments only are entered into the drawings</span></b>. If you voted in the previous polls and want to be entered in those drawings please PM me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
