As of a few moments ago, the board had 9,583,425 page views since the moment the doors first opened. The number, of course, keeps climbing. I thought it would be nice to celebrate the day that view #10,000,000 occurs, so we're having a contest!
It's very simple. You get
ONE entry TWO entries. Write a post here with the date that you think the 10,000,000th view will happen. Posting more than one entry disqualifies all entries you have made. Editing your entry disqualifies your entry. So when you pick your day, make it count!
I will be checking the board at 8PM EST every day (that's 5PM PST and 1AM the following day UTC/GMT) for the total page views. When we reach 9,900,000 entries, I will announce that ALL ENTRIES WILL BE CLOSED and no new entries will be accepted. When we reach 10,000,000 views, I will take all the correct guesses and hold a random drawing among them at random.org. The winner of that drawing will receive one Red Exquisite deck, created by the Expert Playing Card Company - the deck won't even be released until 6pm tonight, but I already have one, courtesy of CARC founder and owner William Kalush, which he has graciously donated for this contest.
The red version of this deck is the rare version, and to make it even more rare, Bill has signed the deck. All Red Exquisites come shipped in an exclusive deck jacket made especially for that deck - your deck will be signed on the deck jacket, so the deck itself will remain sealed in its original cellophane, perfect for retaining its value since it doesn't have a paper seal! It's also great for allowing you to display the autographed deck!
Remember the contest rules, happy guessing and I will post photos of the autographed deck shortly (as well as my opened pack so you can see what the prize looks like inside)! Good luck, everyone!
EDIT: just added the photo! My opened pack of reds and the sealed pack signed by Bill. It has those really cool "old school" faces on the courts, with the usual custom King heads.
EDIT: a chart to see who is choosing what date. No guarantees it is up to date at any given moment, so check your local listings...
EDIT: New rule - at nearly 9,800,000 I permitted all players to place a second guess to help negate the effect of people who may be attempting to boost the page views and trigger an early 10,000,000th view. NO NEW GUESSES PERMITTED after Curt or I have declared we're past the 9,900,000th view mark.
EDIT: the limit has been reached - NO NEW ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED! Best of luck to you all!| Sun. | Mon. | Tue. | Wed. | Thu. | Fri. | Sat. |
