Popular Post effdeegee Posted November 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) *looks over at the calendar... "Oh for the love of... Is it November friggin' 15th already? My goodness; didn't I just do one of these damn things? ffs whatever...Let's just try to get through this piece of... Oh, hey there! Didn't see you come in! Well, don't just stand there; come in, come in. Have a seat. If you'd like, you can go ahead and just click this button right here and we'll pack up the whole fam damily and get this road on the show. Alrighty, folks! It's that time again fooor... Your Next Game - The Lottery! Are you bored with your games? Sick of the same ol' poop? Want to try something different? Don't know what to play next? Don't even care what you play next? Just wish someone would pick a game for you? You've come to the right spot. The concept is simple; you sign up, you get a random game chosen for you, you play it. Seems simple enough, eh? Before you go thinking that it's all easy peasy lemon squeezy, let me remind you that you might get ANY game and that game might be very expensive to find and play. It might be a PS Move game and need a camera and wand, a music game and need a mic or guitar, or a foreign game that's impossible to find and costs a fortune to import. So, you may want to ask yourself, are you: 1. A baller and/or shot caller (either one is totally acceptable) aka. Big daddy fat sack with pockets on swol? 2. A person that's gone full retard and has disposable income? You just don't give a crap and got tha dough? 3. Living a life that's half crippling depression and half bloody reckless? You need to be told what to do and would do it just because it's something different? 4. So lazy that you can't even muster the gumption to ask Google or the chat box for game recommendations? "Like, OMFG seriously?! I have to point the remote AT the tv?! FML." We here at FDG Inc. accept every type of freak. We simply ask that you bring money, or security will immediately ask you to stfu and gtfo. Don't worry; we've cleared it with our legal department and it's fine. Okay, seriously; the way it works is; I will gather a pool of participants, ask each of you for a specific list of game titles that you think others should play, randomly pair you up with another and then use an RNG to select a game for them to play from your list. In order to suggest a game, you had to have played it before and the must still be attainable. For the recipient to play it, they must own the system and not have played the game before (or it has 0 trophies on their profile). It is a ~6 week event (mid Nov to end Dec/start Jan); a few days to sign up, be confirmed, get assigned a game and begin the hunt for said game, 4+ weeks to recieve your game and play it and finally, a few days to shut 'er down, draw ballots and issue prizes. Ballots and prizes, you say? Oh yeah, baby. It should be made perfectly clear that is in no way a competition or a race. You don't need to finish the game, or 100% all dlc, etc. This is nothing more than a fun event, created with the spirit of building a stronger, more tightly knit, friendlier PSNP community. During the event, I'll be awarding extra ballots, for the prize draw at the end, for each person's level of participation. I'll be looking at things like posts in this thread, likes given, likes received, if you got your game, trophies you earn, maybe write an event review, game review or a trophy guide; it's all gravy. I always say, the best part(s) about this event are the conversations that happen during it. Now, be aware that I can giveth and I can taketh away so, don't think that spamming up the joint will get you anywhere. There's only room for one Like whore in this house and you're lookin' at him. The prizes will depend on the number of participants and their level of participation but, we'll be shooting for 3-4 prizes of $10-$20 each. They usually come in the form of PSN cards, PSNP lifetime premium memberships, PayPal cash deposits; whatever. So, let's open the phone banks and start taking callers, shall we?

cybershark91 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) This event sounds quite fun Count me in, maybe I even get a game from my backlog We will see. Is it a problem if a participant can't finish their assigned game? There are quite time consuming games out there EDIT: btw, can we get games from any platform? Or will somebody who don't own a vita won't get vita games? Edited November 15, 2015 by cybershark91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you may want to ask yourself, are you: Since it's not specified as an exception, I'm assuming the ante is up from the last event and you can get a game from a system you don't own?

effdeegee Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I've edited the first post. I got so wrapped up with simply launching the damn thing, I totally forgot to mention a couple of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantFox Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think I'll sign up for this. I've been really bored recently, so I might as well ^<>^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we established last time that, although I can't flat out tell people they can't participate, I can kindly ask that folks not participate in back-to-back events, so that others can have a shot.

chubaqc Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Would definitely like to participate. I have all 3 consoles. Would need to clean the dust of my Vita though . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I would sign up but can't guarantee I'll be around to participate in all aspects. So have to sit this out and hopefully join the next one. Edited November 16, 2015 by feral611 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I gotta say, I'm slightly confused as to why this thing hasn't take right off. The last installment was released in the middle of the night, so Europe would have it when they woke up but, for some strange reason, the list was filled in a very short period of time, before anyone had a chance to wake up and read it. This time, I held off until the actual launch date and waited for the most courteous time for the majority of nations and now, 8 hours later, we sit at only 6/10 spots filled. Very odd.

Boooda Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Give it time, im sure you'll fill the spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Give it time, im sure you'll fill the spots. I'm liking the fact that 4/6 signups are Canadians, though. The odds of having a winner(s) that receives full value cash prizes are getting better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
