NoobGalore 2009 Holiday Giveaway

adamnp · 12-06-2009

Happy Holidays to everyone from Noob Galore -- The world's largest gaming community!

We've made it another year, and the most critical part of us achieving this is our donator base. NoobGalore's costs are exceptional each and every month and requires a vast majority of collaboration between all the admins, seniors, donators and community regulars as a whole. This chorus would all be halted next month if our donator base was not here and active each and every month. So to say thank you to our donator's for their continued support of our community and due to the great success of last months giveaway we give you the 2009 Donator Giveaway!

Thank you to everybody, and we appreciate all your support and help. Remember, the bill is due on the first of the month and without your support it won't be paid. Long live NoobGalore!!

For every $5 you donate for the month, you will be given 1 ticket-stub entry into the drawing. The first 4 drawings, [Prizes 8,7, 6, 5] Will include all tickets incurred throughout the month. After the first 4 drawings, all ticket's will be discarded and new tickets will be redrawn for any member with a total donation amount of atleast $20 for the month. You will be given *ALL* of your tickets for the last drawing. If you win and don't wish to keep the prize, you may elect us to redraw for it or you can elect to donate it back to the community for future contests.

Example: You donate $25 and are rewarded 5 tickets, you have 5 tickets for the first 4 drawings. Should you win that ticket will be discarded and you would be left with 4. Once the first 4 drawings are complete you would again have 5 tickets for the final drawings. After each drawing the winning ticket will be discarded.

You must have a total of $20 or more donated throughout the month to qualify for entry in the final 4 drawings.

Please spread the word of this throughout the servers and the community, post it on your facebook your myspace, your twitter. Anyone can get in on it, and we'd love to see our goal hit this month.

Please keep refreshing and checking this thread often as we may (most likely will) add more prizes to the anti throughout the month as we continue to pull sponsors and interest in this. The success of this relies on your contributions and your efforts in helping us promote this!

Thank you to everybody that helps keep us here. We truly appreciate it and acknowledge it. *high five*
