No seriously.  Over 2000pts in prizes!!! JUDGES WIN TOO!
Ends October 10th midnight cst

SIMPLY post a link to a reply which you found helpful or that helped others (more info below). Thats it no explanations needed. No replies older then 1 week from today and try to notice replies from lots of different members.  You may not post your own replies just to be extra clear.

Ok I see a lot of support contest that are balls (at best). Recommending your own replies is pretentious and ridiculous becasue it rewards people who only made replies to win shit. I decided to fund my own contest instead of hoarding my points or donating to a contest I don't really like the entry requirements of.  


IN THIS CONTEST you the contest enter-er guy will when you notice a really helpful reply from ANY member post a link here. 10 entries per contest enter-er guy maximum will be enforced so I don't have to read a shit load.  

PLEASE POST A NEW REPLY TO THIS TOPIC FOR EVERY NEW ENTRY, unless you find two at once but don't go back and edit your post becasue once  I clear a page I'm not going back unless you message me and tell me where to look. Also you can message me the entires if you prefer. I will try to update this topic twice per day, morning and late night, I will make a list of all entries in this post.

A HELPFUL REPLY CAN BE: Any thing which serves to provide answers or insight to other members. It can be tech, teen or college help and from support or non support leader members. Verbosity does not always (or usually) == helpful. Consice and to the point is more likely to be read and use. Also added wit is always a bonus.

I will select a top 10-15 entries which volunteer judges will vote on.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JUDGE: Please message me I need maybe 2-4 people, non mods preferably and who are relatively new members would be appreciated. EACH JUDGE WILL EARN 50 pts for their time and effort after the contest is over.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE: I don't know if this will be on the contest page, you are welcome to volunteer points and distribute them yourself or donate to the contest page, or transfer them to me, whichever is easiest/best for you. Just post what you would like to do and I will add your name and amount to the awards section. Thanks.


THE AWARDS WILL BE:

1st
the person who entered the reply: 6$ or 500pts your choice

the person who made the reply: 500pts

2nd
the person who entered the reply: 250pts

the person who made the reply: 250pts

3rd
the person who entered the reply: 100pt

the person who made the reply: 100pts

Funny/ most entertaining replies could win 15 pts. each no limit and those replies are still entered. (my choice)  


Plus whatever if any donations are made to this  
contest.

JUDGES: (Needs a judge with no bar. Then all full thanks.)
Young Deezy
orange joy
Mattie17

MEMBER ENTRIES:
vicky91 (first entry so I gave her 5 bonus points also her first entry was before the amended rule about back dated entries so its accepted, all future entries must be no older then one week from today.)

So you make replies in hopes of someone discovering it and then glorifying it? Or you get a friend to publicise it for you?

You find helpful replies and post them and can win points + the person who unknowingly made the reply can win points. This is to reward people for being unknowingly helpful without ulterior motives.

Support contests usually encourage support and not just reward those that already do it and spend a lot of time and effort on it (eg, Define Your Line). I just don't see how it would encourage support at all, just get people to post good replies. In essence it rewards the reply owner and the person that discovered it, but people who make those replies are generally already dedicated enough, and this doesn't seem to drive support.

That said I like the idea.

Yes but I would really prefer if you entered replies not already being used by another contest.

OK.  That sounds really good.  Also, like the other contest, do these replies that we report have to be after this date and time?

Its not to encourage support, its to recognizes and reward those who do it already.

Couldnt it also be said that the other contest, which gets you to post a helpful reply of your own, is just as bad, because many of them merely post a helpful reply in order to get points. donations for it, then cease to make helpful replies as soon as the contest is over?

Good question. No however they must be recent. to be fair no older then this last week.

Fair enough, those people do need to be recognised.

I suppose, but to be honest the people dedicated and driven enough to make decent replies which will go on to win the contest are usually supportive at heart anyway (going on to become a SL if they're not already and being supportive on LW).

It's a fair point, because you will get people like that, but I highly doubt the winner(s) of those contests just stop supporting after the contest is over.

Yes my point exactly. Instead of people getting to presume there reply is helpful someone else nominates it and both people get rewards.

Why hello there Iivewire. I would like ton make a humble submission.
Clicky.

A troubled member named DayXTripper had a very serious problem solving his issues writing an essay on what he believed to be a very limited prompt. Here is hiis cry for help.:

TOPIC TITLE:

WHERE THE FUCK DO I GO FROM HERE?


"You are what you eat." Granted this saying is old and cliché, but the reality is that food can serve as an identity for people.

Topic sentence...I'm stuck, I hate this essay



Topic sentence...I'm stuck, I hate this essay


My benevolent response.


I only concerned myself with following formula in timed essays, and even then, I was very liberal with it.

This essay is an assignment, meaning you have all night or longer to finish it.

Don't worry about the topic sentence, you can change it later a your leisure.

Write this essay on the way we change our eating habits based on how much sex we're getting and based on whether or not we're having sex with multiple partners, on whether or not your partner/s is/are sexually open to oral and anal, and whether or not you're having kinky sex.

That may be too much so just go with frequency of sex, whether or not that sex is with one or multiple partners, and whether or not you feel you have a future with one of the sexual partners. That's good meat for a full essay.

This will be the most creative essay out of everyone else using that same prompt (or likely any other prompt) and will guarantee you bonus points with your teacher. I don't recommend getting illicit but I personally would.

If your classmates find out you did this  they'll think more highly of you giving you an avenue of approach toward solving whatever social issues you may have as well.

Write this essay without worrying about structure, after you write the essay, print it out and cut each paragraph into it's own slice of paper and reorganize it, then re-write it with the essay you just re ordered in front of you, making sure to accommodate formatting requirements.

Print three copies and save it to your computer.

You will get an A on this essay. When you leave class, tape it on your teacher's door.

Some curious person will read the beginning, realize what it is, and see that you got an A, and then soon a shitload of people will know.

You will have not only impressed your teacher and your peers, you will talked about among all your teachers. This is always a good thing.

Remember, address the subject completely seriously, if you aren't actually sexually active, lie but be logical about it.

1. Write essay on the subject medjai gave you.
2. Follow instructions.
3. ??????????????????????????????????
4. Profit.


From the title we can see that this member was lost and confused, I was on my radical streetbike and saved the day though.


-- Posted by DayXTripper at 8:57 pm on Sep. 21, 2008

I must say, Medjai's advice was certainly the lubrication that my brain was needing. His radical and very original approach to the subject was exactly what I needed to start writing about something I can feel passionately about. Honestly, there is so much correlation to sex and food, it's ridiculous. For example, pineapple serving as a cum taste enhancer, or as food being a fetish.

He was also very supportive in any apprehensions that I had with writing about such an outrageous topic. "If your classmates find out you did this  they'll think more highly of you giving you an avenue of approach toward solving whatever social issues you may have as well." I'm my opinion, this is the epitome of supportiveness.


-- Posted by medjai at 10:00 pm on Sep. 21, 2008

Being a Moderator means I have to Protect and Serve

Serve may com second so it's obviously less important, it is there, and I have not ignored it.

So then I can count this as an entry? Obviously it would be pretentious and obnoxious for someone to blatantly disregard the rules and enter themselves in this contest however this amazingly helpful reply was fortunately saved and entered by you, right daytripper?
