[2020] Guild contest for Dev Extra Life stream

Original Post — Direct link

Hi all,

This contest has ended. Thank you.

I am running a contest to help out a guild during my Extra Life stream.

I will pick 1 random winner for the contest. If chosen, I will join you and help your guild claim a guild hall. Or, if you already have a guild hall, I will help you try to upgrade it.

You must donate to be eligible for the contest. You can donate to my Extra Life page, and when doing so include the following info in your donation note:

The phrase "Guild contest". This is very important. You must type it exactly as so.
Guild name
Gw2 account name info (so I can contact someone in game)

Duplicate entries from the same person will result in that person being disqualified from the contest. The cutoff for the contest will be Friday morning. It would be preferable if your guild has their own server for voice chat. You will want to be sure not to run your guild missions/events until the stream.

The time slot will be 11:30pm PST on Saturday the 7th and will go until 1:30am PST on Sunday the 8th. You can find more info about the stream in this reddit post

Thanks and good luck :)

Les

I really support this endeavour. However, there is no need to create three different threads for different contests during the same event.

I thought it would get too jumbled and crowded to put them all in a single thread. You think I should undo that? Is it possible for me to even delete the other threads at this point?

It is possible to delete existing threads, but it is not possible to edit a thread's title, which means that you'd probably have to delete all threads.

In my opinion: Leave it as it is now, because a fourth thread (even with the other ones deleted) would probably get even less upvotes and therefor less visibility. Just keep it in mind for the future. Having one big post not only keeps the frontpage clean, it also tends to lead to more visibility, because people might upvote one thread, but it's unlikely they upvote all three.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. My thought was that there might be questions, comments, or interest in one contest versus another. And, if all of those conversations for the three different contests were mixed together then it would make it more difficult to get the information. I will remember this in the future though. Cheers

Shouldn't it be based on the different account names, I know a couple of people from my guild are on reddit and will likely see this. I'm not saying I'm certain we'll all donate (I'm pretty sure one of our guildmates is also streaming for Extra Life) but there's a pretty good possibility certain guilds will have different people donating and participating in the competition. And are we only allowed to participate in either the guild contest or personal spot contest (can we have "Group contest-<insert start time>" and "Guild contest" on the same donation)

You make a very good point. I will change the wording of the guild contest rule. I was just trying to discourage people from doing dozens of $1 donations to bump their odds, but a guild should be allowed to pool it's members together.

Also, yes, it is OK to enter for the guild contest and one group contest at the same time :)
