I'd like to welcome you all to this website's very first proper contest!

This one will require all of you to co-operate together, for a chance at winning some AWESOME prizes!

Some of you may have noticed already that there's a new "Google +1" Button on the homepage, so here's the deal:

Any person who votes should comment in this thread to notify us that he did so (plus we'll all be able to see anyway as the numbers go up).

Me and the mods will be conducting a list of all the participants in this contest.

Several prizes are to be gained from participating:

*First of all, regardless of whether you all manage to reach the 100 Mark or not, EVERY participant will be personally awarded 50 Experience Points by me! I want everyone to gain from participating!

*If you guys succeed in reaching 100 +1s, 5 random participants will be selected to receive one of the following Legendary in-game weapons:

Assassins Greed
Bouncers pal
Bushmaster
Gabriels Sledgehammer
Italian Plumber

A 1/20 chance to win something awesome, just for clicking a button!

Not only that, but if you guys reach 200, ANOTHER set of 5 participants will be selected, and so on!

The contest starts right now, so get to work! Feel free to refer friends to get them to sign up/vote, and to spread the word about the competition!

Also, All of these legendary weapons have been generously donated by our beloved user "King" (who will gain a special status as an Alpha Donor once the prizes are handed out). So be sure to thank him as-well!

Good luck fellow Survivors!


=EDIT=

Apparently (due to some coding issues) you can add the suffix /forum.php to "deadislandforums.com" and Google + will look at it completely differently.
I'll be doing my best to fix this, but just know that some users might see different numbers in the +1 counter than others!

UPDATE:

First day Results: 27 +1s - Not bad at all, but you'll need to step up the game a little bit if you want those prizes!

what level will the prize weapons be? random levels? or all 50? or maybe even level 60? for people with the new patch?

Still 24 hours left till the end of the contest!

Don't worry though guys, there'll be tons of more opportunities after this one! I think I'll even choose one participant at random to win one of the prizes as a show of goodwill :)

You guys DID make it nearly 1/3 of the way!

Well, it has been exactly 72 hours since I last announced the contest.

The contest started out promising enough, with almost 1/3 of the way done in less than 24 hours, however things slowed down afterwards.

Not to worry though! Thank you very much to all the participants! I'll be announcing a new contest in a couple of days (if anyone has any special suggestions they think would be good for the site please don't hesitate to PM me!).

As promised though, for getting 1/3 of the way there, ONE random user has been chosen to get ONE of the In-Game items listed at the opening of this thread (which have been generously donated by King).

That user is:

N30J007

Congratulations! King will contact you shortly, and you will be able to select 1 of the items he has to offer!

The rest of you will be getting a +50 Experience Point boost by me over the next day or so!

Don't be discouraged however! Next time you might hit the jackpot!
