Popular Post grimydawg___ Posted July 3, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) OK folks. Starting in August, I'm going to do a monthly giveaway just like @BDKSimba is doing. The only thing is I'm going do it based on trophies, not for spamming having the most posts Whoever has the most amount of points by the end of each month will be the winner.I'm going to give prizes for the top 2 people that post here. I will post the monthly winners as time goes by within the first few days of the new month. We'll see how this goes. Hopefully, it will run smooth. Let me know if you have questions. Last, but not least: please put the plat and percentage of it in this post, this way I can do the math with no problem. The monthly contest will end on the last day of each month at 11:59 PM EST (GMT-4). The winner will be announced, then standings will be started over for the new month. My idea is not only promote more activity on here, but to motivate people as well. I think this is a good way to perhaps push people to finish their games too This time around, I'm going to implement a points system. I'll change it to how it was the first two times next time, if this doesn't work. Basically whoever has the most points wins. Points For Each Type of Rarity Ultra Rare 25 points Very Rare 10 points Rare 5 points Uncommon 3 points Common 1 point Rules Must be a member for at least a month with 25 posts 1st Place Winner One PSN Card of $20 or of equivalent currency and/or premium membership on this site. If you're already a premium member, then you'll just get the card. 2nd Place Winner Premium Membership How Standings Work See PSXtreme's quote. With this, this will actually be a closer contest. Past Winners July @Ballz August @Enstikto September @Edddyy October @DanielVT November Standings So Far Edited January 25, 2013 by grimydawg 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeMcD- Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Do you mean it was rare when you got it or does it have to still be rare once the month is up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimydawg___ Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Do you mean it was rare when you got it or does it have to still be rare once the month is up? It has to be in that range the day the person gets it. I'll annotate that in the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilebear Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Why does this look all so familiar to me Anyways, this is really thoughtful of you and should probably be considered to be a runner up in next months Member of the Month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Do the rare trophies have to be earned during the month, or not? Either way I'm in the fucking money, the WipEout 2048 DLC trophies are sooper dooper rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Bee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Is this all accumulated rare plats you have, or is it just the rare plats earned between now and the end of August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCChrono Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hmm, a fun challenge. Could lead to some interesting trophy collecting strategy too. Say, I could spend July playin games with said platinums, but stop one trophy from earning a plat. Then, after this month's challenge is over and the game resets, earn all those games platinums for a "plat boost". I just like to find strategies like this. But it is a cool and generous idea. May even get people to test out games they may otherwise have never played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimydawg___ Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Is this all accumulated rare plats you have, or is it just the rare plats earned between now and the end of August? The latter half of your question. Nice I'd like to give this a shot Also is it just open to the people that post in this thread? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimydawg___ Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 i know i wont win but i will still try at least it will help me along with my gamer score This will perhaps motivate some people to play some stuff they wouldn't otherwise or maybe even finish their own stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCChrono Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This will perhaps motivate some people to play some stuff they wouldn't otherwise or maybe even finish their own stuff Maybe add a list of awesome games with platinums that fit this challenge? Games I've played in the past I would recommend would be: Catherine Dead Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimydawg___ Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 OK. As I mentioned earlier, you must post here to be part of the contest. If you want to participate, just say so on this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reys Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I don't even know if I'll get one platinum, but count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimydawg___ Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Someone gave me a better idea I'll do the lowest average in rarity of your plats you earn within the time frame. That seems more plausible What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimydawg___ Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Decided to change the OP a bit to make it more plausible This ought to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myers Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Great idea for a competition! I'll enter not sure I'll win but Modnation Racers is at like 3% rarity Borderlands might bring me up though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
