He hasn't been active on the board in nearly a month. Very weird. I've always wondered what would happen in one of these challenges if the person in charge of it vanished. Guess we're finding out,lol.

If anyone's interested, I can tally up the very basic results. I'm not interested in getting involved in the prize stuff but I wouldn't mind getting the results together and posting them a bit later.

Re: First Ever November Comedy Challenge discussion/suggestions/comments thread
Since it looks like takingchase is MIA, I don't mind doing it.
How does this sound -
Everyone who participated (i.e., watched something during the challenge and listed at least one item in the list thread) is eligible for the drawing. I'll exclude myself.
4 Winners will be picked using random.org.
Here are the prizes:
Winners will be announced in this thread and contacted by PM.
Winners will have 5 days to respond and claim their prizes. Then I'll re-draw names for any unclaimed prizes.
(Basically, I'll do it the same way I picked winners for the Make Your Own Challenge.)
Here's the list of eligible participants:
3onameathook
acubfaninmd
Ash Ketchum
Bladz
BobO'Link
cardsfan111
Chad
coyoteblue
DarthMaher
davidh777
Doc Moonlight
EdTheRipper
Giles
hbsub

If you want to opt-out of the drawing let me know.

OK for prizes we have:
Comedy Classics 100 Movie Set
Mae West: The Glamour Collection
Sgt. Bilko: The Phil Silvers 50th Anniversary Edition
Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII: Time of the Apes/Mighty Jack/Violent Years/Brute Man
As always, I have 0 input in who gets what or how. However you guys decide this one, just let me know the winners and their addresses. (Normally when you are notified you won you just pm the challenge runner your address and he passes it on to me).
Congrats to whoever wins and it looks like this was a very successful inaugural challenge!

Not to be critical of those volunteering to step up, but this was from the OP:
This will seem self-serving since this is the first time ever I completed a checklist and participated in a theme night option. But not to worry. I've never won a prize from a monthly challenge. And although my odds will increase if this approach is taken, I've now jinxed myself.

Re: First Ever November Comedy Challenge discussion/suggestions/comments thread
The prize winners have been chosen, and have been notified by PM.
The winners are:
William Fuld
KaBluie
Ash Ketchum
MrTerrific
Stealing another idea from Chad, I decided to let them have some say in which item they won (to avoid anyone winning a DVD they already had, Chad asked us to let him know if we already owned any of the Horror Challenge prizes). I've asked the four winners to list the four prizes in order of most wanted to least wanted (in case two, or more, people list the same DVD as their favorite, the first to respond by PM will get it).
I'll list who gets what after I've sorted that out.
If I haven't heard back from all of the winners by next Monday, I'll have another drawing for any unclaimed prize(s). So if you didn't get picked this time, there's still hope.

If you have a Big Lots nearby check there for a S1 set. It is in a recent batch of $10 TVonDVD seasons. I was lucky and found one!
Now... if GoldenWheels wants to throw something extra towards Cardsfan 111 and me, I'm OK with that!

Re: First Ever November Comedy Challenge discussion/suggestions/comments thread
I've received the first response from one of the winners. William Fuld has claimed Sgt. Bilko: The Phil Silvers 50th Anniversary Edition. I've forwarded your info to GoldenWheels. Thanks for the quick response.
Yeah, it's kind of rough to see people not be rewarded for that much effort, but it was decided long ago to go with random drawings for these challenges to keep people from getting too competitive (and argumentative). You won, fair and square. If you decline your prize, I'm just going to have another random drawing, so there's no guarantee either of them will get anything. (On the other hand, I did only request an address for GoldenWheels to send your prize to, I never said it had to be your address. If you want to work out something with someone else, that's up to you.)
I was lucky enough to find one of those last Friday. Unfortunately, I didn't find Lucy S1 or S2 at either of the 2 Big Lots near me, and it's not worth traveling to the next closest one just to hope to find one or two things.

I've received the second PM response from one of the winners. KaBluie's first choice had already been claimed (who knew Phil Silvers was so popular?), so he will get his second choice, Mae West: The Glamour Collection.
I've forwarded your info to GoldenWheels. Thanks for the quick response.
Two down, two to go.
Comedy Classics 100 Movie Set and Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII are still in play.
