Playtime!!! yay!
Quicklinks: Rules Major prize Winners Prize Winners Points Winners Prize Pool Donates Prizes
Its that time of the year again when we have some fun to start us off getting in the mood for whatever celebrations each of us have around the end of the year.
Normally we do this in late November but to give time for the prizes to arrive before the end of year these games will start in early November.
So this is advance warning for you all to get ready and if anyone wishes to donate more to the games then please let me know.
Description and Rules
As we have alot of new members since Playtime!!! was last run we'll go over the rules here
One of the moderators will create a new thread at a random time and in a random forum which will have the title of Playtime!!!
The opening post of that thread will nominate a reply number which will be the winning reply. It will also nominate the prize to be won in that game
Remember that the opening post in a thread is not a reply itself so the first person to post a reply after that opening post is reply number 1.
Sometimes its possible for the same member to make two or more consecutive posts (i.e. 2 or more posts in a row with no other member posting in between). If that does happen and one of those posts is in the winning position, then it will be ignored and the very next member to post after that member will become the winner. Multiple consecutive posts not in a winning position make no difference so don't worry about those, they will be counted individually.
Each reply you make must be different from your last otherwise you are disqualified. This stops people just pressing submit and then pressing back in the browser and pressing submit again, i.e. this slows you down a little
If you make 2 or more posts in a row (with no other member between), and one of those posts is in a winning position then you are are disqualified and the reply position after your posts then becomes the winning position with this rule then reapplying.
This year we will also limit the number of prizes won by each member to 3
Major prizes
For the major prizes of the C902 and the T250, each game will have a second, third and fourth reply positions nominated which will also follow the same rules as above. The member who posts in that position will earn 3 points, the member in the next reply position wins 2 points and the member in the next reply position wins 1 point. You may only collect from the first points paying position in each game.
Once all the smaller prizes are won, whoever has the most points will win the C902, and the runner up will win the T250.
...enjoy!
Prize winners will get an honourable mention in the Esato's Playtime Hall of Fame

No real biggy, but I don't think the hall of fame has actually been updated for the last few playtimes...
Posted by NightBlade
Wow, it's playtime already?
Can't wait! (to win that bluetooth speaker!)
Posted by masseur
in fact, apart from MWEB, no one has actually donated anything yet as these are all items I have bought during the year since last playtime... its my way of giving something back for all the grief I give each year!
but lets not forget Tranquil who started all this.. I'd like to see hime win something too!
the point of posting early is in the hope of getting some more donations
(please!)... if you do donate, you'll also be asked to post directly to the winner (anywhere in the world) as I seem already to have plenty to post myself, thanks!
hmm, oli, you're right, the hall of fame has been neglected... I'll bring that up to date before this kicks off... thanks!
