**CLOSED** Help Create A New Contest Contest - November 17 - 23

[NDN]

Each day members choose 1 of 4 suits and NDN randomly selects a card and whoever choose correctly gets a card.
After 1 month the average person should have 7-8 cards and the lucky one may have up to 14.

Prizes can be awarde for certain hands obtained as well as best

That would still be too much work to keep track of.

you could make it easier if you use the football spread sheet to display each persons collective cards

[NDN]

Still a significant amount of work!

the games are meant to draw traffic to the site... the question is, what accomplishes this goal... incentives to the exsisting games or the formation of a new one

I sleep with hot women. You all guess who votes me the best. Winners gets a royal flush!

The contests are geared more towards motivating our existing members to stay (or become) active in forum discussions. If we pick up some new traffic because of the contests in the process that's an added benefit.

But, knowing the real purpose behind the contests (encouraging existing members to become active), does that give anyone any new ideas?

do a email shot. 10 posts after the email and win!

you can simplify the card scheme as well by offering different prizes for different hands.

say you offer a $5 amazon card for a 3 of a kind
$10 for a straight or flush or FH
$20 for a 4 of a kind
$25 Straight Flush
$50 for a Royal

Make it a monthly contest so members will be encouraged to earn as many cards as they can get.

If you limit the max amount of cards to say 3-4 a week per person, the work load and odds will be in houses favor. Also to reduce workload, award cards on a weekly achievement basis.

1 card awarded per week for 15 posts
1 card awarded per week for participating in 5 or more days of trivia
1 card awarded for downloading a casino ??
1 card awarded for posting a top 10 score in an arcade game
1 card awarded for logging on all 7 days
1 card awarded for winning NFL contest
1 card awarded for correct guess of contest
ect ect
