Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2583285, member: 10461"]So there we have it.  This is essentially a look at how this contest will play out.  It should take months if not a year or more, because I have hundreds of dug coins to image. Present point rankings (these will count if we launch the contest for real)<ul> <li>[USER=28531]@H8_modern[/USER] :10 points - for guessing type of DD-002</li> <li>[USER=79993]@Mad Stax[/USER]: 10 points - for guessing date of DD-002</li> <li>[USER=72818]@Mikey Zee[/USER]: 20 points - for guessing country and type of DD-001</li> </ul> These points can add up in each round, and at at the end of each round (of 20 coin finds) we can have a redemption and the points can then be traded for coin prizes or rolled over and accumulated until the next redemption period. I do reserve the right to tinker with the point system, but if anything, that's to make it more generous rather than stingier.  While I do not wish to bankrupt myself providing prizes for this contest in addition to all the work it will take, I do want it to be fun, and if the prizes seem too piddlesome, we'll have to fix that. So now... what next?  We've done our "beta testing" or "practice round". I think what I'll do is solicit [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] 's input- some of my past contest or game attempts have had flaws or just were not allowed on this site. If I get the mods' nod and it looks feasible, and the poll votes for it being potentially "AWESOME" outweigh the less enthusiastic responses, we can proceed, and I will open the contest on the Contests Forum where it belongs. In the meantime, I'll watch the polls and shoot some more dug coin pictures. Thanks for those who've expressed an interest so far.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
