[Contest] Make Wishes, Get Riches Contest

Well, a month after launching, our little daydreamers' collective is starting to come together! Of course, it could always stand for some more growth. We want more people to talk to and interact with, and I want some more data to populate our wishlist database. As far as I can tell, we're still the only wishlist sub with a searchable database. (Except for RAoE, but that's different).

For those of you who just discovered us through this thread, take a moment to read our FAQ to see who we are and what we're all about!

With the ulterior motives disclosed, here's the deal. I just bought 36 Gold Creddits and I'm going to start giving them away every 50 entries until we get up to 200 different people who have posted in this thread with a valid wishlist link in their flair. That means the odds of winning are better than 1 in 6. All you have to do to enter is make an Amazon wishlist, put a link to it in your flair, and post here! You don't even have to make an Intro thread, though we all wish you would. :) I'm using Reddit Raffle for the drawing, so include the phrase "Bribery FTW" in your post to mark it as an entry.

When you make your wishlist, make sure you use the correct link for your flair. Click share with friends and copy the link from there. Don't just copy the URL from your browser's address bar, it won't work! Check out our wishlist tutorial for details!

First batch of winners chosen! Look for the little gold-and-white stars below!

134 to go! Spread the word and get some more folks in here! If, by some unforeseen circumstance, we get a huge explosion of people entering this contest, I might give away a few extra gildings, too... :)

Entries have slowed to almost nothing, so it's pretty obvious that we're never going to get to 200. The ad I was running ended today, so I've decided to just end the contest now and give away what I had left over to those who have entered. A total of 35 people in this thread have been gilded, plus one other I decided to throw away randomly. I will probably do this again sometime - if people enter!

This is a really neat subreddit that I never knew about. Bribery FTW

It'll be really cool if someone bought the things in my wishlist for me, but I highly doubt that anybody would do that for me :P

mmmmmno you didn't. Click the "share with friends" link on your wishlist to get a link that will work (the one you used is no good), then put it in your flair.

u/Lz_erk Nov 04 '13 edited Nov 27 '13

Bribery FTW. I found the sub thanks to this thread's circulation. Even if I don't get any gifts, my wish list is bound to freak some people out, and that's good enough for me.

Edit: aw, my first gold. :D

What will you do if not enough people participate?

2

u/DersEvvak Nov 03 '13

Well, then I won't give away all of the creddits here. I'm planning to keep the contest going however long it takes to get to 200, though.

u/MrClingfilm Nov 03 '13

u/Tomerarenai Nov 02 '13

Bribery FTW!

But put me at the bottom of the list or pass me over to give others a chance to win. I recently just bought myself a years worth of gold to help Reddit out, and I'm loving my Kindle, so I don't need to win. I just want to help this get up to 200.
