Competition Time! - Forum Related Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

As promised, we are very excited to offer a competition to all new recruits on this forum! :)

We have 10 x "I Am The Other Half" t-shirts (printed especially for #JollaLoveDay back in May) that we are going to give away to 10 lucky sailors here. :)

The competition will run for a month until 9th December 10pm when the lucky winners will be announced.

To win, all you have to do is contribute to our new community space, and as you go, you will notice Karma points being given to you. The top 10 contributors with the most Karma points will be sent out a t-shirt each.

The choices are limited with 3 ladies fit t-shirts and 7 unisex of all sizes and colours. The choice of size/colour/fit will be given to the winner first and then going down the list so the 10th ranked person will have no choice but to except the last one ("I am the last" is still better than "I get nothing"!).

We'll contact you via the forum message system to organise finer details once the competition has ended and will ship as soon as we have the relevant details from the lucky winners.

Just to wish you good luck and here is a photo of the competition t-shirts below:

i have the slight feeling that the competition may cause a higher spam-count as the karma rules are not too easy to understand ;)

Yes. I also don't think it doesn't quite make sense that most karma points come from visits, yet likes and questions answered barely factor in. For example, I don't think it's fair that I have more karma points than @blitzschlag for example who has been really active in the community whereas I have mainly been in the background observing.

Karma doesn't seem to be clocking correctly and i'm looking into it.

Technically @Lacrimosa you could also get karma for passive participation ie. visits, but for example, actively contributing should offer higher karma.

Lacrimosa

Sounds good. I find the whole karma system intriguing and unlike, but I kind of got disenchanted when I realized that passive participation constituted most of the karma points. Hopefully the error will be fixed soon and karma will get its magic back :)

By the way, is there a way to lose karma? It would make the whole system more interesting and could be a better indicator of recent contribution/activity in the community if karma expired or you lose karma for not visiting the site in the long time.

I agree ... maybe ... just maybe one can select to see in a thread only posts from people with above x karma?

JollaTides

As the karma has been playing up (fixed now), I think we'll announce winners via a combination of variables ie. visits, active contribution, and karma. ;-)

@JollaTides

Yay 8| :D

JollaTides

Just a reminder that I'll be announcing the winners later tonight. ;-)

JollaTides

Okay the judge has decided and I'll be contacting the t-shirt competition winners individually to arrange finer details shortly (most probably tomorrow now). ;-)

@JollaTides

JollaTides

:))) good one

JollaTides

Okay, just to update you, I'm contacting each winner individually via the forum msg service to ask for their t-shirt preference/shipping address.

Before I can contact the next person in line, I have to wait for the previous winner to select a colour/size option. So please bear with me, as you may be in line, but it might be I'm just waiting for a response from the last person.

Thanks!

JollaTides

@Lupin

I'm still waiting for a response from you on the t-shirt competition as I need to get your choice/address so I can contact the remaining winners. If I don't hear back in the next few days, I'll give the t-shirt to someone else. Thanks in advance! :-)

Howdy, Stranger!
