A blog Q&A with various WoW players and encounters with ~idiots.
15 Questions for $15 in 15 Minutes
Posted 04/08/09 at 5:09 PM by Nayt
After a few minutes of blog ideas while watching/sleeping through the NCAA championship (WTF snow in April in Missouri). I remembered something that I do best: Contests. After a downpour of nut shots at my first 2 blog entries (still surprised people read anything with my name on it) I decided on a contest, made some phone calls and logged onto a few WoW servers to track a few old "e-friends" down.
The contest is called: 15 Questions for $15 in 15 Minutes. Each week I'm going to pick someone that I've come to know through WoW or someone that EJ:BB picks and give that person a series of 15 questions to answer. I don't want to waste anyone's time which is were the 15 minutes comes into play. I thought to myself what kind of reward I could offer. The overwhelming response from my server and my servers IRC was pizza of course. To be fair to those that I may talk to that aren't comfortable giving me personal information, I have been told I'm allowed to PayPal said person $15 to help pay for their WoW sub for a month or a tank of gas or maybe a couple bottles of Bacon Lube. So 4 people each month will have a shot at winning $15 just for answering a few WoW questions, EJ:BB questions (from the audience per say) and a few random questions.
When I play video games I'm a fairly competitive person. I enjoy networking and will read about the character I play, but as seen on these forums I usually don't have much math to back up my thoughts on mechanics. I have played video games with many people that do: What they think works or base their play style off of what other people have discovered what works. So first contestant is a person that used to play on my server, not someone I know too well, but I've talked to here and there about being a Shaman.
Stay tuned.
