[NeoPet_online]

According to the rules... I think TOSO won! Congrats!

[Miyu]

I think it is; one single person can NOT post more than 200 times in this topic.

Oh.

That also makes sense XD Guess we just have to wait for TWW's confirmation.

[Combusken BG]

And of course I don't know, because Neopets offically stopped loading from me about... 1 minute ago.
Yay...
Congrats to the winner, tho!

I know! I was mad because it wouldn't load. xD

Tell me about it. I pulled a all nighter because of this and it wouldn't load which made it difficult to time right.

[Daze]

I don't know if people would cheat or not to get 200k, so I'm going to set the post limit to 200 posts to win this contest.

I am sure that means a limit of 200 posts per person.

Otherwise it would be written as " a person must have a minimum of 200 posts to join".

Aww *hugs JCMidore*

For what it's worth, I don't think you're a lurker - I've seen you around the boards enough to recognise your username, and know that you didn't just appear out of the woodwork just for this thread.

Though I can't really talk about post counts, can I? I post entirely too much

Guess it's all up to TWW, though.

Awww! That's sweet of you. XD Brought a smile to my face atleast.

Edit : Roar! How rude of me. I didn't see your post, TOSO, until now. As much as I genuinely appreciate the offer, I don't think I could accept anything from you if you won fair and square. It just wouldn't be right. XD But thank you~

Well, you were only 42 posts away from winning, so it would be fair, but whatever.

And you're welcome

well guys.... im in kind of a bind now. I planned to come on here at it would be super easy..... but now after reading all this lovey dovey stuff I don't know WHO to give it to...

so, i just decided to keep the 200,700 neopoints to myself.

...

...Okay, just kidding. Um, I figured that when we have a "post limit" on contests... that automatically means that that is the number of posts a person must have on these forums to participate or win a prize. Would I really think that any one person would post on this thread 200 times before the contest was over? I think that's just unrealistic thinking. When I said "I'm going to set the post limit to 200 posts".... that means the post limit, or by definition, the "limited number of posts a person must have".... is... 200 posts. I figured that people would just naturally catch on to something like that, but if that was really all that unclear, then I am in a dilemma.

By my rules, 'theonlysaneone' won this contest. He was the last poster of 2006 who had a post count of 200 posts or more. Technically, 'JCMidore' had the last post of 2006, but as I said ahead of time, assuming I wouldn't have to spell it out in dictionary definition formation, the winner would be the last person with 200+ posts, making all participation of a forum member with 199 or less posts invalid. While 'JCMidore' has approx. 3/4ths the number of posts needed, it isnt the number of posts needed.

If the rules were really that unclear, I'd give the prize to CDMidore, the last poster of the year. If I go by the rules I posted, Theonlysaneone would be the victor. I guess I need a second to think this over....

[WIS]

Maybe just split it?

[Miyu]

I had figured it was no more than 200 posts on this topic.. because you mentioned cheating and such. Sure it is a bit outlandish.. but I just figured eh.

Yah, what WIS said.

[Daze]

I am one person that thought the the 200 limit meant that you couldn't keep posting over and over again - thereby keeping other people from posting.

Even though the intent was to only allow people to post that had a minimum of 200 posts, unfortunately the wording was a little ambiguous.

I like the idea of a 50/50 split.

[Anoohilator]

Splitting it is the only fair way

[sily_sicily]

Didn't make it.
Nevermind...

( Hate being goosed )

[Tymaporer]

But doesn't the word "limit" refer to the maximum, not the minimum?

[Anoohilator]

I thought limit could refer to both ends
