Re: October Horror Movie Challenge 7: The Results Thread
Hooray! I received my prize yesterday. Thanks as always, Chad.
Because of participants in the past who would lie about their stats and to allow those who don't have as much time on their hands to win something, people are not given prizes based on their final rankings. There are a few different ways to win a prize.
1) Correctly answer trivia questions that Chad asked; winners determined by correct answer and random drawing.
2) Participate in the contest; winners determined by random drawing.
3) Watch at least 100 films; winners determined by random drawing.
4) Complete the checklist; winners determined by random drawing.
5) Watch every daily subset film; winners determined by random drawing.
6) Watch a film for every theme day; winners determined by random drawing.
7) Most impressive list; winners determined by member voting.
Do you see a pattern developing? Yep, pretty much everything is decided by random drawing. It's the most fair thing to do, especially considering how easy it would be for people to cheat on an Internet contest.
Also, there is a list of the prizes and prize categories on the first post in this thread. Since there were so many prizes, Chad decided to also give some to people who had participated in 5 challenges or more.

You don't need a complex or elaborate list to win something. All you need is to be lucky. Obviously it helps if you give yourself more chances. I won in the "participant" category, but I was also eligible to win for the 100 films, checklist, daily subset and theme days. That at least increased my chances of winning. With nearly everything being random, the only way a fancy list would do any good would be in the impressive list category.
If you really want to win something next year, I would recommend participating in as many of the optional categories as possible. If you aren't sure what qualifies for a prize, always go back to the first post in the main OHMC thread. That has everything you need to know.

Re: October Horror Movie Challenge 7: The Results Thread
sorry to bump this again...lol so anyone itching for horror talk?
despite participating lightly in comedy and holiday challenges im still mostly watching horror and miss having a spot to talk about it with people. i brought it up briefly in the discussion and know the horror movie club bombed but figured id see if any interest at all in a monthly horror discussion thread ? hell we have one for wrestling dvds. if interested would it be better in this thread or prolly in the horror group forum where no one seems to use
