BPN Fill the Ranks Contest

[Schlup]

What it is:
The BPN Fill the Ranks Contest is a recruiting contest for some sweet hardware.  We're giving away 12GB of DDR3 1300 RAM and a $25 gift certificate to Newegg.com!!!  It will be a point based contest and all members and recruits (even new recruits) will be eligible to win!


How it works:
Each new recruit that's brought in and submits a membership application will be worth 1 point.  If that new recruit gets voted in as a full member the original recruiter will gain 3 more points for a total of 4 points for that recruit!  If the recruit does not participate or breaks BPN rules and does not become a member the recruiter will lose 1 point.

So obviously the goal is to bring in BPN material, by that I mean people who are active, who game, use TeamSpeak, forums, website AND who enjoy gaming the way everybody else at BPN does, by NOT cussing, hacking, belittling other people (aka "rule breakers")...we don't want those people.

The contest will run for (3) months, starting today, November 1st 2010 and ending February 1st 2011.


What you win:
The person who has the most points (aka First Place) will be awarded with 6GB DDR3 1300 RAM & a $25 Newegg.com gift certificate.

The person who has the second most points (aka Second Place) will be awarded 6GB DDR3 1300 RAM.

In the event of a tie, the person who has the most recruits that have become members will win.


How you submit your new recruit:
Tracking will be done by this forum post, if you get a new recruit to fill out the membership application YOU will come here and post "I recruited... & the recruits name".  Once the membership application is received the post will be verified and moved up to the main post next to your name and your point total will be updated.


Contest rules & notes:
1)Any modification to the main (first) forum topic by anyone besides Schlup will void the recruits of the editor to the post.
2)BPN Bucks will not be eligible during the contest.
3)Fraudulent recruits will void you of eligibility for the contest (aka fake recruits).
4)The winning members MUST be current members or recruits at the time of the contest ending to be eligible.

Hardware has been donated by our very own Alamode and the gift certificate has been donated by Sir Diealot.


Tips for Recruiting:
1) Talk to your real life friends or co-workers to find out if they game or want to try to, get them to join.
2) Talk to acquaintances or friends in game about joining BPN.
3) While in game talk to people who seem to be pretty cool, talk to them individually about joining for best results.
4) Verify they are at least 18 or older before asking them to join, list a few of the main rules of BPN to make sure this is the right place for them.
5) While spamming messages about joining will work every once in a while, talking to people individually works WAY better.

While we want to get the membership base larger we also want to do it with the right kinda people, we're not for everyone but there are a large number of gamers out there who are tired of all the hacking, cussing and general rudeness going on in gaming.  These gamers are perfect for BPN!
