Happy Holiday Giveaway: Our First Winner!

Want free stuff? Just hang out around here!


SURPRISE! This is something I've actually been cooking up for a little while. See, since it's the holiday season, every (week)day of December we're going to give away a little goodie (of our choosing) to a winner on the site. And how do you get to be a winner? Just...participate! Mostly we'll be keeping tabs on comments, blog posts, and forum posts, but you guys can also nominate people who work extra hard on particular wiki submissions or anything else you notice around the site.

...No, really, that's all there is to it. Just keep doing the awesome things you already do, and/or do more of them! This is just our little way of showing appreciation to those of you who really make this site an awesome place to visit. We'll do our best not to double up on one user getting multiple prizes, but the best way to help us avoid that is for as many of you to contribute as possible!

The winner for December 1st is Konanda, who commented on the Winter Season Preview and I believe talked about every single show. Yes, folks, it's that easy! Konanda has won a free copy of Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 for the Wii, courtesy of the TOMY Corporation.

And if you want to nominate anyone-- especially you wiki mods who are always keeping an eye out there --just send me a PM!

Also, a special note to a couple of you who are still waiting for other prizes that somehow got lost in the vaults here at Whiskey Media for a bit: I have your prizes here, and I'll get them out in the mail at the same time I send out Konanda's Naruto game. And I'm going to try and include some little bonus goodies where I can as an apology for you guys having to wait so long! :)

Good idea to try and promote more clickying to the site. I nominate me because I'm about to post a cute anime cat pic! Teeheehee!

Quick question though, can we win more then once? or is it once we win that's it? 
 
P.S. Gia if that pic makes you smile when you see it i win for today, deal? ^_^

oh man AWESOME! though i don't think i will win, as I never win anything and I don't contribute much to the wikis. 
Baku_Senseion Dec. 2, 2009 at 7:54 p.m.

I second that! LOL. I'll be doing some mad wiki subbing once finals are done.

i guess John_Martone and cfatsilis (i know i spelt that wrong sorry) have my nomination.
FoxxFireArt moderator on Dec. 2, 2009 at 8:27 p.m.
Here's hoping that Konanda has a Wii. lol
 
This reminds me of the art contest the magazine PSM used to have. I won that once. They sent me so much cool swag. They sent me PS2 game demos, Winning Eleven soccer jersey, shorts, and soccer socks; and the entire Grand Theft Auto:SA soundtrack.
 
I actually have a very useful tip for users that I need to post in the forums on editing.

I'm guessing this is only for US users like the competitions and giveaways on giant bomb right? If not that would be awesome but if it is then fair enough. Just sucks that I live in the UK I guess :P
Dethfishon Dec. 3, 2009 at 5:16 a.m.
Wow, what a coincidence! I like receiving free stuff and you guys are giving away free stuff.
Little_Sparrowon Dec. 3, 2009 at 7:12 a.m.
I wanna give a massive shout out to all the mods Wiki and forum we do all this for free and never complain....out loud XD. I vote Lan!!

@ThePsychoGamer: John and Len aren't eligible as employees of Whiskey Media, alas. But hey, they get PAID for their contributions ;)
 
@Newten: I can't keep track of where everyone lives, so it's entirely likely that someone I pick will be not in the US. They may just have to settle for very slooooow shipping. ;)
 
@FoxxFireArt: I hope he has a Wii too! Although if he doesn't, it could be excellent for re-gifting or trading in. :)
Daniel_Newton moderator on Dec. 3, 2009 at 8:13 a.m.
@gia: Ah fair enough then that's cool. I just assumed it would be US only like the GB stuff.
 
Man how awesome would it be if WE got paid for our submissions, you should totally hire official wiki editors Gia ;D haha, I can dream...
ComradeCrashon Dec. 3, 2009 at 10:42 a.m.
Hmm...I guess I have to start spamming to win something huh! :P I am only kidding. 
 
So you wont be just giving away Wii games right?

Well not all of us get paid to do what we would probably spend most of our free time doing to begin with. thanks for reminding me of the agonizing process of finding a job. jk

@gia: 
I just bring it up, because it can be quite the let down to be rewarded for submitting with something you can't even use. More so if you'd like to. That's the tricky thing with random prizes.
Konandaon Dec. 3, 2009 at 7:23 p.m.
Awesome! And thank you very much. Unexpected prizes and contests are always great! Good luck to everyone else.

No worries here I own a Wii and now I have a reason to dust it off some.
