    Forge's Blatant Ripoff of HTWingnut's Giveaway

    Reference this thread. But this is not like Santa Wingnut's sale. I'm not going to be as nice.

    The day before Thanksgiving was my birthday, and I got some money from friends and family. Black Friday rolled around, and there were many deals. There was much rejoicing.

    I noticed that Left 4 Dead 2 6-pack was at a ridiculous price. Remembering that most of my friends, on here and IRL, have this game already, I wondered what I could do if I bought it. And then my malicious surfaced. Bluntly, "I'll just use them as carrots to make other forumers act like fools to amuse me."

    I already made member Mega Man X go on a wild goosgle (wild goose, google, get it?) chase to get a free copy. And now you can all act like fools, too.

    I have three copies left to give away.


    It works like this. I give a task. There will be a set number of days for anyone interested to complete the task. I'll then pick the person who I amused me the most to receive a copy of Left 4 Dead 2, given via Steam.

    Rules are simple: Complete the task. If you already own the game, don't enter. If you don't want the game, don't enter. If you lack the emotional, psychologial, physical, or grammatical maturity to play a frenetic zombie-slaying co-op game, don't enter. If you're not legally able to own the game--for whatever reason--don't enter. You can enter the next contest if you don't win the previous one(s).

    The tasks and their specific rules will be documented in the below post. Enjoy. And remember to entertain me.

    <s> TASK ONE
    Beginning: Immediately
    Ending: December 15, whenever I get home from work.</s>
    TASK COMPLETED.
    Trottel was the winner
    TASK OVERVIEW:
    Look at this snapshot below
    [​IMG]
    Your task is to tell me what the snapshot is.



    RULES:
    *Your answers will be judged on how fast your turned them in, how thorough they are, and how much they entertained me.
    --Be quick with how fast you answer, because you get Forge-points for how early you submit your answer. However, you get Forge-points for a thorough answer, so the more details (name of the series, name of characters, episode number, why it's funny, etcetera, etcetera), the better. And don't skimp on entertaining me. You get points for that, too.
    --You can use any resource you want. Hit up the internet, chat rooms, your IRL friends, or the anime thread.

    *Answers MUST be submitted to me via PM. If you goof and give away information because you posted in this thread, tough luck
    --You must address me in the PM as the High Lord Forge The Greatest, and sign the PM as "This lowly homunculus who grovels at your feet for your charity, [your username here]. SPATULA!"
    --You get only ONE PM. If you turn one in, and a few hours later, send another one with "oh, here are some more details!" I'll ignore the second PM. Be perfectly certain before you send your first one.

    Get cracking.




    <s> TASK TWO
    Beginning: Immediately
    Ending: December 23, whenever I get home from work.</s>
    TASK COMPLETED
    XFlameWithin, lozanogo, and Scytus were the winners

    Winners, join the NBR Steam group and PM me your ID so I can friend and gift you.


    TASK OVERVIEW: Post a picture of you with something amusing on your head. Must be posted in this thread. There will be three (3!) winners.

    RULES:
    * Very simple: Take a photo of yourself with something on your head and post it in this thread. Can be anything you like.

    * You must show some proof that it is you in that picture. Much like the Selling Forum rules scribble your username on some paper and make sure it's visible when you photograph yourself.

    * Your picture must be in (reasonably) good taste and not violate any forum rules.

    * You may change the picture that you post anytime before the deadline. However, don't clutter the thread. Simply replace your old picture instead of posting the second one in a new post. Don't worry, I'll go through the entire thread to make sure I see everyone's.


    MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS

    The anime is Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge.

    The girl on the left is Anna Aoi, and the girl on the right is Miyako Kippei. The scene is from episode 12, right after they "locked" away the perverted ghost from hurting anymore young girls. It was really funny because Miyako doesn't realize she locked away her perverted uncle by accident instead of the ghost.

    Edit: Shoot, didn't realize we had to PM this. Guess I failed big time.

    Also if anyone PM'd forge with my answer, I feel sorry for you. You fell for the easiest trick in the book to increase my own odds of winning. Also I already own L4D2 as well, and since I don't really know the answer, I'll just have to sit this one out.

    I don't know that I'll bother entering either this contest, or HTWingnut's (although his does end at a very auspicious time)... I am, however, definitely subscribing, for I find them both quite amusing.

    First contest has ended. Trottel is the winner.
    (Even though he technically shouldn't be, since he didn't follow the rules completely; then again, no one else did, either. I am disappoint.)

    Next contest will be put up shortly. Should be a lot easier. And funnier.

    I'll ask Trottel if I can post his exact answer, because... yeah.

    Anyway.

    The anime is Utawarerumono ("Undewater Ray Romano), from episode 17. Character on the left is Karula, character on the right is Touka. Touka, despite being one of the best fighters in the serious (and also an overprotective bodyguard), suffers from Cuteness Proximity.

    Take a picture of you doing a headstand, and then flip it upside down. That's what I would do.
