WOW~!~ I did not expect to get to grab first place. I CERTAINLY didn’t expect to grab first place so quickly (57 hours)… Now comes the hard part. The contest runs until September 7th. Brickfish will announce the winner after that, but it may not necessarily be who was in “1st” place. They look at the comments on the post, and the “Viral” value (links pointing to the entry) and other mystery factors. One of which is of course overall placement. So, to stay first, we need to keep voting. Here is my incentive to you. I have already said that I will use any prize money to pay for YoYoSkills hosting, review yoyos, and yoyo contests both online and offline.
Now, If I win the Grand Prize of $1000, The first metal yo-yo I buy and review will be given to the person who commented on the Brickfish entry and received the most “Thumbs Up” votes (go look at the comments, you’ll see what I mean).
So, consider this to be the first contest (it is however, contingent on me winning the grand prize).
This will do a few things. Anon votes are worth a fraction of what registered members votes are worth. This will help keep my entry in 1st place. AND you could win an ADDITIONAL 100 bucks from Brickfish for a registered review and post!
To Sum up, all you have to do to continue to help is to register at Brickfish, keep voting, and start writing review comments on the entry.
I’ll bring this up every now and then, but I don’t want to spam the news site (or the forums) but lets do what we can, because if I win, you could win also!
(PS, a BIG thank you to those that have helped me so much, specifically “DouglasBrown”, who posted on all the yo-yo sites on his accord)
(PPS, fun fact, if you look at the overall entries, then the overall Viral results, YoYoSkills.com is ranked up there with Myspace, Digg, and Facebook. How FREAKIN cool is that!)
Because of the whole “negative votes on reviews” thing, I will amend my half of the contest.
If I win the grand prize, the first yo-yo I buy with that money to review will go to a RANDOM comment in the brickfish review section that has more than 3 sentences.
I am thinking something epic… Like a H20 or something
A new contender has entered the ring! This “Faith” entry has risen quickly through the ranks, and is now number 2. Their score is growing at a rate faster than what Chris’ is. What this means is that you need to get to voting! Vote as much as you can! Ask your friends to vote. Post it to facebook! Post it to anywhere! We can’t let our DrYoYo be toppled!
