Vamper62's Monthly Donation Premium Membership Giveaway

[Vamper62]

So, since I donate to the forums every month (because I love you guys :3) I am starting a Premium Membership Giveaway. Each month, a Dissidia Forums member (or two depending on the donation size) will get Premium Membership (Purple name, Premium Member Icon, and a Character pic in your left side post bar) from my monthly donation. How I pick the person to get this award often comes from good forum activity, useful posts, and sometimes IRC activity (because I am often there). Unfortunately, since I am the one giving these away, there may be some bias, so don't be offended if I don't pick you. There are also a couple things that will make me less likely to pick you (and if you break these often you will likely never be considered)...

- Spam
- Annoying other users
- Bad Advice
- Asking me over and over to pick you...

In order for you to be a candidate, you need to at least make me aware that you are interested (so if only one person asks me about it, they will very likely get it). Contact me via PM, IRC, or below to be considered. As long as you are an active member on the Forums and/or IRC, you have a chance. In general, Forum Activity is what I look at the most, so if you aren't an IRC person, don't think you don't have a chance.

Here are a list of thread/IRC activity that I am drawn to the most (and will easily see)...

Spoiler:

Forums
- Creating useful Guides
- Assist Combo Videos
- Matchup Thread evidence and significant posts
- Activity on Spambin games and/or organizing successful games
- Activity on Misc threads and general contributions to topics
- Tournament Discussion and Feedback Threads
- Helping newbies and giving "good" advice on Support/Character threads

IRC
- Engaging and making good participation in conversations of all kinds
- Being fun (not annoying)
- Providing good answers to questions players may have in the IRC about Dissidia or any other games

Notes:
I don't want any sore losers. If you aren't picked, don't go out and rep me or the winner down because you don't think it is fair. Doing so (or any other poor sportsmanship) will result in never being considered in the future. Also understand that how people are chosen each month is not always based on what they have done during that given month, but in the past as well. This is not a "Member of the Month" award and purely me being extra generous from my monthly donations.

If you registered past the 15th of the month, you cannot be considered until the next month. This is to keep it from certain people who register late in the month to automatically win (cause they might deserve it). This gives everyone a better chance of winning as well.

Currently registered candidates...

I iz winnar. :3 lol It feels good to be gifted Premium Membership. Don't be afraid to jump on this amazing offer, guys.

Um, arent you awarded Premium Membership for donating anyway?

[RavenCarver]

Wow, now I feel like my premium membership has been completely cheapened.

I believe he's saying he's giving $10 to anyone who deserves it each month, meaning that member won't have to pay to receive premium membership.

It's for those who don't donate and/or can't donate. It also supports good Forum activity.

Also, since I've already gotten premium, I might as well use the "gift donation" option now. Hopefully this doesn't cause people to stop donating, because this site really needs it since we missed the goal by $5 last month (in which I am very disappointed about). Also, when gifted "Premium Membership," I don't think you get a little star by your name.

It's a simple matter to gift premium membership. Vamper donates as usual, and tells Mass "Please give premium to Cor Leonis."

While the spirit of the thing is indeed to donate for yourself, gifting donations isn't hurting anyone, and it's actually a pretty neat idea.

[Cor Leonis]

Wow, now I feel like my premium membership has been completely cheapened.

Haters gonna hate. I would LOVE to donate money to the forums; however, I cannot do so. Let the record show I cannot donate, as I do not have a credit card, my parents will not let me get a credit card, and they will not let me use their credit card. I've been a good member, so Vamper62 is being a nice guy, he understands my situation, and gifted Premium Membership to me.

TKG09 for September 2011. It's my birthday month, after all :3

This is actually a really good idea from you Vamper. ;D

But one thing to say: Don't overdue it too much like this Member of the Month buisness. I think if you would look around these threads you may know why.

Allthough this shouldn't be such a big barrier for you. ^^
