since there's been some confusion on the rules I'm going to lay them out here.

1) Be an active member of AOG
If you're posting here you're already an active member, conratulations!

2) Post in the designated thread for that contest
When the thread is posted and labeled a contest thread, simply post in that thread.

3) Be the designated poster in that thread
When the post number is revealed (ie be post #25) you simply try to be that poster to win.

4) No back to back posts (not possible with the boards flood control)

5) Claim your prize in the designated time period.
When you are designated the winner, by being quoted and declared the winner you must contact the mod running the contest via PM within the designated time period or you lose your prize. After all contests for that night are completed we will begin accepting PM's.

6) No "fake" contest threads
Start one and get banned, end of story, no discussion required

7) No mods or admins or sponsors of the site can/will win anything

8) You can only win once per session.
So if you win on the first contest of the night, you can keep playing, but you can't win again. Sorry guys, but we've got to be fair to everyone else.

These rules are subject to change at any given time by the Staff of AOG.

when that happens the according post is removed from the thread, and the new post # is the designated winner, there is no choosing of prizes.

so for example in the thread you're supposed to be post #15, you have already won that night, and as such cannot win again. You post to help the thread move along (that's a good member!) and you end up being post #15, your post is deleted, and the new post #15 wins.

Didn't think it really required that much explanation, thought it was pretty self explanatory. You can only win once a session.

So How many time are you allowed to post on 1 contest thread.

Example Can I post 5 times on one thread in hopes of being the lucky post?

You can post as many times as you want, they just can't be back to back (which won't happen because of the software anyway).

Yes, according to the rules as outlined. If not, then there would be a "waiting term" established between wins.

Considering we only do contests once a month or so .. that most likely wont be happening.
