    I am creating this thread to let everyone in the Gaming forum know about my holiday giveaway!

    It was suggested to me to cross post here since the prize is a game, and not everyone in this forum may visit the marketplace and vice versa.

    In an effort to keep everything consolidated, please direct all questions to the thread in the Marketplace, found here:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=443004

    If any changes are made, I will update both threads.

    Thank you mods for allowing the cross-post :)

    Surprise: I'm doubling the prize! Except that I won't be picking the 2nd winner, YOU will!

    After the deadline arrives, I'll start a poll in this thread with all the entries. There is a possibility I may have to pick the 20 or 25 best, depends how many entries are received in total and how many entries the poll allows.

    I'll run the poll for 3 days, from the 21st to the 24th, and on Christmas morning, I'll announce both winners.

    Second surprise: I have 2 copies of Audiosurf to gift as well, 2 runner ups will each receive one! One from the initial group of entries, and the first runner up in the poll.

    Enjoy!

    I have to make one small change. I now realize that If I pick a winner and a runner up, the runner up that I pick won't go into the poll, therefore denying that member the chance to get a game of their choice.

    I will only pick my favorite entry and I will let the poll decide the rest. The entry I pick and the most picked entry win a game of their choice and the first 2 runner ups in the poll will win a copy of Audiosurf.

    Will edit main post to match.

    Question:

    What happens if there's a tie in the poll for the winner/runner up?
    For example lets say 5 people have the same amount of votes for runner ups lol.
    New poll i guess for those x amount of people?

    If I have a 5 way tie for the runner ups I'll figure something out.

    Due to abuse, one of the entries had to be removed. If you voted for that entry you probably need to place your vote again. Not sure how the poll works here but that's the most likely cause. Please cast your vote again :)
