[afsrav]

The person who came 50th made 10 posts in the whole week.

You make a valid point.

Don't worry about it too much, I'm sure there will be more competitions with lower entry requirements.

The person who came 50th made 10 posts in the whole week. There is no excuse, people exclude themselves.

I rather like the top 50 idea.

Here's an idea, how about keeping the two prizes in the same week thing, but select one winner from the 1-25 and one from the 25-50 bracket?
The top 25 bracket winner wins the full package or with something extra.
For example, week 3's top 25 winner gets mouse+mousepad. Whereas the winner from the 25-50 bracket only wins the mouse (or even just mousepad).

Like a booby prize? Could work, after all, who doesn't like boobies?

Top 50 is not much incentive to create activity on the forum... Which is the purpose of an activity competition...

On MyBB it might work, but here just about everyone how so much as says hello each week is entered. Still, it does a good job of not excluding lurkers...

Oooh look at me my name is Roomys and I'm too good for your petty competitions.

Funny one Mr. Pig

Do you want me to answer that?

 

[Sabaen]

If you get 50 people to post 10-20 times, isn't that better than 25 people each posting 100 times?

How about giving more members the opportunity to win - not only based on activity (eg. top 50 etc.)

Did you miss the first competition?

Activity-based competitions (correct me if wrong) only came about some time in last year, but posting was still a requirement, or at least, a certain amount of posts needed to enter into a competition.

Activity-based keeps the forum alive (if you will). Hell, even if you're a casual post(er), you should be eligible to be entered into the draw for a prize within a top 50.

Not like they're contributing so i don't see why they need a chance

There are two competitions running right now in which lurkers could stand a chance to win if they enter.

By my count that means there have been 2 random draws and 2 activity-based competitions in the Rebel Tech series; and an additional random draw to give away tickets to rAge.

By mixing it up I'm hoping to encourage both that lurkers de-lurk, and increased activity on the forum.

Sure they do, all they have to do is enter /delurk mode.
