Contest Time!

At the time I posted it said that 11 other people had read the thread. I assumed each was a different person who had PM'd Stan but obviously I was very, very wrong.

congrats to you ghost9!have much fun with the usagi shirt!
what I was wandering today was sensei's words spoke of strategy and I think planning, but what was the trick to win the contest if not with luck?
to look at the number of how many people viewed the entry doesn't work...any ideas somebody?
peace, marcel

I'm sure there were some of us who read the thread but didn't enter; I didn't because I already have the T-shirts for example.

Good question. I think Colin Solan's strategy makes a lot of sense, and would have been the way I would have done it if I were smarter. To be honest, I was working yesterday and was waiting on the contest to be posted/started. Then, I got caught up in work and forgot about it until I got home. Then I immediately sent my PM. Sad to say it was just dumb luck, but I'm so thankful for it.

hey, some of the best things were created out of dumb luck!

well, the thing with watching the number of views isn't a sure way since not every visitor was a safe pm sender...but anyway, high five to you for this nice adventure that you had;)
peace and since I won't be here tomorrow I wish all usagi dojo members and readers/admirers a happy new year or 'an guaden rutsch' like we say over here in germany

see y'all in 2010!!!
