No, it didn’t matter what you posted. Every post in that topic was included in the drawing, except mine. Winning my own raffle would be fun for me, but not for anyone else!

Aw, man! Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all, especially when pure chance is involved.

Hope to enter into the next contest if you have one.

Uh, one question, though.

“and tell me what you think about Marty Blog.” is in the rules for the comment/post/whatever. Does that mean that mine (and a couple of others) were not included in the drawing?

Maybe I’d better read the rules more thoroughly next time, or at least not get too hooked on Yourself’s post.

OMG! OMFG! I’ve never won anything before my life! WooHOOO!!!! *does taunting jig*

I’d like to thank the academy for this tremendous honor, my parents for their encouragement to enter random contests, Fred’s evil twin Marty (who really knows how to “play ball”), and all the brave little electrons who gave their lives to make this possible. With this generous (and well deserved) prize, I can leave behind the drudgery of buttmunchery forever. Only in America!

Thanks, Marty!

Truth be told, I would have liked to do a video of the thing running, with a YouTube recording (and a more visual presentation of course), but time simply did not allow it. Next time, I suppose.

Kinda like that, I just had it collect all the names from a text file (each name was entered as many times as was supposed to be, on it’s own line), set a random seed, shuffle the list, and then draw from the top. The name would appear in a message box, the program would close, and I would start again.

I take it the creation code was:
{
array[0,0] = “xot”;
array[0,1] = “xot”;
array[0,2] = “xot”;
array[0,3] = “xot”;
array[1,0] = “CoolGmrSms”;
array[1,1] = “CoolGmrSms”;
array[1,2] = “CoolGmrSms”;
array[1,3] = “CoolGmrSms”;
array[2,0] = “Xxypher”;
array[2,1] = “Xxypher”;
array[2,2] = “Xxypher”;
array[2,3] = “Xxypher”;
winner = array[ceil(random(2)),ceil(random(3))];
} (with everyone)
and the draw event was drawing winner?

I calls foul play on part of the judge! The reff was payed! Fred uses Macs, he’s opinion doesn’t count! The contest was fixed!

Naw, just kidding. While I would have liked to win, I did get the game I wanted as a prize from a friend a few days ago, so all’s good! Hope the winners enjoy their prizes!
