EDIT:
This competition is over. The winner is Ben. Only 4 people got the required amount of posts and PMed me that they were in the competition. Oh well. I'll try another competition and hope to get more people.

START: 18 JULY 2009
END: 31 OCTOBER 2009
The duration of the posting competition shall be 3 months.

TO ENTER:
Anyone can join the competition between the competition start and end dates. You must follow these instructions:
1. PM me with the heading "Start Comp XX posts" where XX is the number of posts you have at the time of PMing.
2. Make 25 additional posts. You must not make these all at once. You must spread them out over at least 3 days.
3. PM me with the heading "End Comp XX posts" where XX is the number of posts you have at that time. It should be 25 more than your starting number.
4. Put a reasonable effort into your posts. Try and match the quality of the other posts (on average) you see on the forums. Try to have LESS than 50% of your posts in forum games since they are generally one word replies.
4. At the end of the competition, you must not be banned or have a negative reputation to be eligible for the prize.

TO WIN:
The winner is determined randomly from all those who enter. I may give everyone a random number and ask someone to choose a number out of a list. Hopefully we can find someone to do this.

PRIZE:
The prize will depend on how many people sign up (and make the required no. of posts.)
2 to 3 $10
4 to 5 $20
6 to 7 $30
8 to 11 $80
12 to 15 $100
16+ $120

I will check IPs of entrants and assume that anyone with the same IP is the same person.

All money will be donated via Paypal. The above list is in Australian dollars. If you don't have Paypal it is simple to get a Paypal account as you don't need a credit card. Alternative arrangements may be possible if you can't get Paypal.

PAYPAL
Signing up to Paypal
1. Go to paypal.com
2. Click sign up
3. Choose your country then click get started (under personal)
4. Enter your name and address
5. Click Agree and Create Account
6. Click go to my account at the bottom

Even if you don't have a credit card or bank account, you can still receive money from others. The money sitting in your paypal account could then be used to purchase online goods. You will need a bank account only if you want to withdraw money or add funds yourself. A credit card can also be used to add funds.

Cool~!

I'm not sure if my mom would let me recieve money via her paypal and I don't think I can get one. Either way, could the money possibly be donated to a charity of my choice if I win?

Yes - so long as it is the same monetary value.

Anyone can get paypal. You just need an email address to sign up. However, to get money into the paypal account you need at least one of the following:
A) Someone else with a paypal account sending you money i.e. me
B) Bank account - draw funds from the bank account
C) Credit card - draw funds from the credit card

I didn't have a credit card when I signed up so I used my bank account. It was a few years ago since I did it so I can't remember 100% the process.
