Send a Member to CGE 2007 LIVE DRAWING II

[digitalpress]

Approximately fifty Roundtable members entered this contest, and one will reap the ultimate reward, a trip to Las Vegas to attend Classic Gaming Expo on July 28th and 29th with all kinds of "extras". The LIVE drawing will be held on Monday, July 9th at 9pm EDT.

Per tradition, myself and my wife will draw names from a cup on live webcam, and we'll also be on IRC chatting live through the event. You can keep track of the action via the video, the chat, or both!

DETAILS:

See ya's on Monday.

Come one and all to #vbender!!!

A few things of note:
If you've got an actual IRC client, use it. It'll work better and handle the really heavy traffic of the channel on a nite like this a bit better than the jirc client thats on the site, but if you don't have one its not a big deal the JIRC client will work just fine.

Using the JIRC client lets one easily change text colors. As nifty as it seems, its really an eyesore. Lots of the regulars use a white background (and most clients run a white background as a default anyways) and do you know how hard it is to read yellow or lime green on a white background? So just resist that urge and leave the text as its default color. This also ensures that everyone can see you because once you've messed with your default color and try to move back (to white/black) your text is treated as such on everyone elses clients and your text tends to disapear.

Like a normal net chatrooms mutiple conversations happening at a time are a norm, so if someone (or the room isn't responding to you) give it a minute before you start repeating stuff over and over. Sometimes it takes us a minute to catch up or to notice other stuff. The same goes with stuff that you might have missed in a conversation. Just scroll back up, it'll still be there.

Remember your netique! ALL CAPS is still yelling, and r0x0rz yur 1337 s0x0rz is still just as annoying.

See everyone tonight!

[RetroYoungen]

WHO WON!?

Inquiring minds (and people who couldn't make it to the drawing because of that whole work thing) wanna know!!!

[digitalpress]

Blissfulnoise won the big prize.

I have it written down at home, why I didn't think to put it here I don't know. The only other one I remember is Damaniel, he's the entry that got eaten.

Gonna need an assist on the others, when I'm back home later I'll fill in the rest.

[Damaniel]

Funny -- I was trying to figure out if that was my name on the slip that you were eating. Hope I--er, it--was delicious! ;)

And while I'm posting, congrats to Blissfulnoise!

Thanks guys, I had no idea since I hadn't gotten a PM yet or anything and couldn't make the webcast! Sending you a PM now Joe! I'm looking forward to that dinner most of all!

The prize pool will be spent responsibly and wisely on hookers, blackjack, and booze just as the rest of you would have it!
