Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Welcome ladies and gentlemen, Since making New Year's vows and not keeping them is so 2015, we (Mah2c, Zone Hunter, and myself) are kicking 2016 off in style by starting with a contest and a giveaway. And we have actual prizes too! I bet that got your attention, but more of that later. Contest You may have seen something in the forums called 'Project Platinum'. For those of you who don't know what that is (shame of you), take a look here. You may be wondering why I'm promoting the PP. Well, there's a very simple reason for that: you're all going to play PP games, that is if you want to win this contest. That's right people, the member who plats the most PP games between January 1 2016 12AM (00.00) and January 31 2016 11.59PM (23.59) wins this contest. The timezone we'll be using is GMT+0. Time left until the contest ends: see this countdown timer. I'm sure by now you're all wondering what it is you'll be competing for? Let's take a look: 1st place: a PSN Card with a value of 30 dollars/euros/3000 yen (depending on region). In the event that there are no PSN Cards available for the winner, we will transfer the money using Paypal. 2nd place: a PSN Card with a value of 20 dollars/euros/2x 1000 yen (depending on region). 3rd place: a PSN Card with a value of 10 dollars/euros/1000 yen (depending on region). Be sure to read the rules of this event carefully for additional information. This contest does not require participants to join the PP threads, but feel free to do so if you see one that you like. You can sign up for the contest until January 7. At the end of the contest participants need to provide a list of games they've platted for the contest. Winners All the plats have been counted and here are the winners: First place: Matto_Isi with 13 plats Second place: Ric_373 with 11 plats Third place: minh2t with 10 plats Below are the results of all the participants: Boooda56: 0 plats TheLastSurvivorD: 4 plats - giveaway winner, not eligible for the contest prizes A-Brawl3r: 2 plats MStalker58: 8 plats jem12345: 0 plats zajac9999: 0 plats Ric_373: 11 plats HcG-_Clawz: 5 plats HappyKastanie: 4 plats Kyomi-Okami: 0 plats Fozzyabear: 2 plats noahc66: 0 plats WulfPack3: 0 plats monkeydluffy512: 4 plats whyfire: 3 plats Matto_lsi: 13 plats SyIaris: 4 plats kittyxiii: 0 plats omar280792: 2 plats Hemiak: 1 plat SatoshiOokami: 4 plats daftprophet: 0 plats sundrew: 8 plats Wdog-999: 1 plat - giveaway winner, not eligible for the contest prizes Tosmasta00: 4 plats xFalionx: 1 plat SaucySpinach: 0 plats platinumplayer12: 0 plats Kishnabe: 0 plats bladesoframen: 4 plats Yechan: 0 plats minh2t: 10 plats Lovejinder_LJ: 0 plats bobertwasabi88: 1 plat Xhillia: 0 plats JuriRyuugu: 0 plats NathanielJohn: 6 plats man_with_wdjat: 0 plats Kochiya-Shana: 1 plat Giveaway Besides the contest there's also a giveaway, which will happen on January 10. On that day, all the regular members who sign up for the giveaway are put in a random generator and the names that come out will be the winners.

Zone Hunter will give a lifetime premium membership to every regular member that makes it to the top 5 in the PP leaderboard. Winners These lucky participants won the giveaway: Wdog-999 Riddler535 TheLastSurvivorD Below you'll find a screenshot of the result: Rules Ah yes, what's a contest without rules. This is important, so pay attention! Only platinum trophies matter for the contest, 100% games don't but you can still play them if you want. Cheaters aren't allowed to join and cheating to pop plats will result in an immediate ban. Auto-popping games using cross-saves isn't allowed. Only games from PP threads that have been created are eligible. Platting games that aren't part of a PP thread won't count. However, you can work on games for PPs that are scheduled to be created in January, but the waiting list has been known to change due to various circumstances, so keep this in mind. You can find an overview of the waiting list and links to all the created PP threads so far in the PP General Information thread. In addition to the rule above: only PP games that haven't been started until January 1 2016 or only have 1 trophy unlocked will count. If you obtained at least 2 trophies before that day, the game isn't eligible. NO EXCEPTIONS! Read the first post in the PP threads for more information. Seriously, the PP admins put all that info there for a reason. Each admin has the freedom to add/remove certain things, so the PP threads aren't identical. Anyone who asks questions that have already been answered in the first post, will get a link to this image next to their username in the Participant List every time they waste the valuable time of the PP admins. And trust me, I'll know when that happens. If stackable games (= games with more than 1 trophy list) are allowed in the PP thread, you can do that. If a PP thread only uses unique plats, the duplicate plats won't count (unless you platted the game before the contest and another one during the contest). Members who win the giveaway aren't eligible for the prizes in the contest, though they can still participate.

Dragon-Archon Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) you clearly need some One Punch Man in your life I thought it was supposed to be Aang from The Legend of Aang .

damon8r351 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yeah, except that this isn't. It's a contest that lasts a month. Close enough that you'd get crushed in a real copyright suit. I'd ought be careful, you know how much effort I can dedicate to something as simple as a sight gag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 This is a neat idea. I really like it. It almost makes me wanna bump my Game A Day! to February, just so I can participate in this. I honestly couldn't see myself getting the in more than 3-5 eligible PP games so, I think I'll just stick with my thingy and be a fanboy viewer for this thingy instead. Great idea for an event and good luck to all of the participants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MStalker58 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well, I'm interested in joining this event but the fact that Dragon is involved in running the contest has me worried and hesistant. He does a great job at promoting these events and making them sound like so much fun when in reality they usually bring misery. I mean in the PRD you have to deprive yourself of the joy of popping platinums for months. Then you have the apparently never ending quest to get the Star Ocean 4 platinum. I've scoured the fine print to see if there are any downsides to joining and I can't really find anything, so guess I'll sign up. Maybe this will finally motivate me to start on some of the Project Platinum games I have in my backlog. I actually have more games than I could possibly platinum in a month so I'll be interested in seeing how many I can get done. Sign me up for both the contest and giveaway.

jemmie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'll be lucky to have even two platinums that are eligible for this, but I still want to join to see how well I do. Sign me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zajac9999 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 This sounds fun, dunno how well I'll do in it based on the games I'll be playing next month but I'll join up anyways as I want to get in the top 5 people for the PP's anyways. Great work on the giveaway btw guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireReaper Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm not going to be joining in on this due to the lack of game time around New Years, but I will say, you guys have got some good shit going. Especially this: Anyone who asks questions that have already been answered in the first post, will get a link to this image next to their username in the Participant List every time they waste the valuable time of the PP admins. And trust me, I'll know when that happens. Great image to use and yes DA, I'm fairly certain you'll know when this will happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 So basically... start new year with Ratchet & Clank, Prince of Persia and God of War (well, if you don't have them yet anyway). Seems like the contest may be a bit unbalanced. (People that haven't platted the above games have a bit of an advantage). I'll join anyway, since I like doing the PP's anyway and I have a couple of the games ready to start . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HcG Clawz Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sign me up, i was planning to work on the Project Platinums anyway after the PRD ended. In addition to the rule above: only PP games that haven't been started until January 1 2016 or only have 1 trophy unlocked will count. If you obtained at least 2 trophies before that day, the game isn't eligible. NO EXCEPTIONS! I don't like this rule But i understand why it's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
