MyGaming Brute Force Competition 2016

Mr. Nice Guy
Last year we had a little competition to generate some new threads here at MyGaming. It's often times easier to reply to threads than to create new ones and this often leads to a fairly quiet forum. DarthMol and MalicE were the only people to make it to the end of the competition and the eventual winner was DarthMol in a random draw.

This year things will work a little differently. The goal is to create one new thread a week. However it can't be a news post. Example of a news post:
http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthr...izes-for-quot-Steam-s-troubled-Christmas-quot
Dohc does a really great job with that but it's not what I'm looking for with this competition.

The thread that you create can be anything else though but try and generate discussion. Whether it's a thread for your favourite game:
http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthread.php/31712-The-official-Witcher-3-thread
Or a thread about some gaming topic:
http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthread.php/48831-I-m-suffering-from-FPS-fatigue-and-this-is-why
Or even an Off Topic thread:
http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthread.php/48073-Loot-Crate
They will all count.

The prize is a gift voucher of some kind to the value of R500. Currently it's a choice between a Makro or a Checkers voucher but this may change towards the end of the year. Maybe I will be able to give the winner a choice.

If you wish to enter please post in this thread that you want to participate. Entries close on the 18th of January when it will start.

Only people with 100 posts or more may enter.

A week starts on a Monday. I will check every week to see whether all the participants created a thread. There's no need to post your entries anymore.

I am the organiser of this competition and my word is law. If I disqualify someone then my word counts. I won't be unfair though. I mean the whole idea is to create discussion not have fights and things.

The competition ends 27 November 2016. After which the draw will happen shortly after. I will ask an admin here to do the draw and if they won't then I'll do it using a random number generator.

The competition will only commence if we have at least 5 participants.

This competition is not affiliated with MyGaming and they won't be sponsoring the prize. Don't bother MyGaming admin and mods with this.

If you are going on holiday and can't post then please let me know beforehand and you will be required to create threads before you go on holiday.

Hopefully that's everything. May this be an awesome year for MyGaming! :D

You underestimate yourself! And even if you aim for off topic you are now officially entered for le g.p. :)

Id rather not have the entry as i may not be able to post every week, do we start posting this week?

Nope, only from the 18th of January. And if you do not post a week then you just fall out of the competition. Last year most people fell out. Some very quickly. So rather take the chance of winning something than not taking the chance at all. :) You'll see, one a week isn't that bad. You can start making a list of thread ideas now and then just pick one a week.

Slight correction - I was the winner...
 
[MENTION=14824]Donisia[/MENTION], so is it alright if I add you as a participant? I don't want to force you into it if you don't want to. :)
