Everyone should get to experience what being a subscriber is like, and I'm interested in helping out the site financially.

Enter now for a chance to win a FREE 3 month subscription!

Week 6 has now ended.

Now accepting entries for week 7, ending January 18th!

What do I have to do, Ground_Breaker?

Anytime from Monday through Sunday (you may also post today, November 16th, since I'm starting this today), post once in this thread telling me the first thing you're going to do if you win this week's subscription. Don't tell me you're going to jump up and down exclaiming, "ZOMG A WINNER IS ME!" Tell me the first way you're going to use your new subscriber privileges. Whether it's creating your custom title, or playing all the subscriber songs, just throw out a few sentences. It won't kill ya.

Are you really going to give away a subscription every week?

Yes. Like I said, I want everyone to be able to experience the things we subscribers get to experience every day. As well, I would like to help out the site financially in a big way, like emerald000 does. This seems to me to be the easiest way to achieve both goals, and I want to have some fun doing this. I just got a new job that pays very well, and I want to give something back for everything this website has offered to me. I know that's already what being a subscriber is, but I want you all to get to enjoy this with me.

Is there a catch?

The only requirement you must meet is that you must not have an existing, active subscription. The point of this is to give those who've never had access to subscriber benefits the chance to enjoy them, so if you'd like to try to win a subscription, but you have a subscription currently active, just wait till it ends, then you may certainly try to win another three months.

So how do you determine who wins?

Each Sunday night, I will review the thread and see who all has posted what they plan to do with their new subscription. I will use random.org to choose a number between the post numbers of the first and last replies to this thread since that past Monday. That number will correspond to a post in the thread, and I will order that poster's subscription that evening.

Example: Let's say that seventy-eight people post from tomorrow through Sunday, which means that the first person's post is the second reply to this thread, and the seventy-eighth person's post is the seventy-ninth reply to this thread.

On that Sunday, I will post again in this thread saying that the chance to enter this weeks giveaway is over, then I'll go over the replies. Post numbers two through seventy-nine represent the seventy-eight replies to the original post that are in the thread, so I'll go to random.org's integer generator and set it up like this:

Then, I'll hit the button, and:

So, I'll go look at post number fifty-three in this thread, and that poster, if he/she does not already have an active subscription, will obviously be the winner. If they do have an active subscription, I will let random.org choose another number.

If I post more than once in this thread, do I have a better chance of winning?

No. If you post more than once in this thread, I will count your first post as your entry number, and if random.org chooses one of your other posts, I will have it choose another number.

You stand to gain nothing by posting more than once per week, except postcount +1.

Aren't you going to get confused with people posting in your thread who can't win subscriptions?

No, because if random.org chooses a number corresponding to a post that either is off-topic or comes from a subscriber, then I will have random.org choose another number. That way I won't have to worry about which posts to include and which posts not to include. Basically, I will write down the post number of each post in the thread that isn't an entry into the giveaway, and compare random.org's number to that list. I will include screenshots of each number chosen by random.org, even if it chooses a number of someone ineligible to receive a subscription.

Will you be providing screenshots like this in your posts that announce the weekly winner?

Not only will I provide screenshots from random.org, but I will also provide a screenshot from the completed transaction page of the FFR shop.

Using random.org seems like a bad idea. Why can't you decide based on our answers?

The answers are just for fun. I want it to be truly random because I don't want people saying that I gave them out based on people I like, or that I gave them out based on some other subjective reason. As I've said, everyone deserves a chance, and that includes people who may not necessarily have the most creative responses.

If you win a subscription from this giveaway,
stick this in your signature with a link to this thread. Entirely optional of course.
