[NeedfulKings]

Here’s a quick reminder of the 2008/2009 Dark Tower Football Pick Contest prizes!!!

First Place – Trophy + 7,500 Beam Bucks
Second Place – Trophy + 5,000 Beam Bucks
Third Place – Trophy + 3,000 Beam Bucks
Last Place – Trophy + 3,000 Beam Bucks
Fourth Place – 10,000 Beam Bucks
Fifth Place – 7,500 Beam Bucks
Sixth Place – 5,000 Beam Bucks


I don’t know if he wanted recognition, but Brice donated enough Beam Bucks that I was able to double the original prizes. Thank you!!!!

Here are some pictures of previous years trophies:

The first year, there were only 2 trophies awarded—First and Last Place:

Randall Flagg won while BedOfRoses and Myself tied for last place.



Last year we doubled the trophies:

There was a tie for 1st place with Chasing Dragons and Phoenix Ignition. RUBE took 3rd place and Spaceman took last place.




Keep with it everyone!!! Only a few games separate many of the prize spots!!!

Please remember, if you miss more that 2 weeks of picks this season, you cannot qualify for the Last Place trophy.

I don't mind that you mentioned it. I was happy to help.


So...do all those books go with the trophies?





If so, I may be taking a more active interest in this...even though I don't watch football.

Seriously, those are some nice trophies. It's pretty cool of you to do that.

[NeedfulKings]

Haha! For you, the books come with the trophies, Brice.

I think it's great that there will be 7 prizes awarded this year. And all good ones!!!

Thanks again, man! You rock!

[RUBE]

May I suggest the trophies match last year's color scheme so that my new one will look good next to the one I already have here above my computer?

JK, there is still way too much football left.

[gsvec]

Tres cool!

[Brice]

It's my pleasure.


I'd lose if all I had to do was tell what the object of the game is.

[NeedfulKings]

Game? What game???



RUBE, I will be sure that your trophy collection does not clash!

Gretchen, us "middle of the pack" players need to start making moves. And I don't mean on the dance floor!!!!

[gsvec]

Guess I need to make worse pics since I can't make better ones!

[turtlex]

Wow, neato trophies!

And thanks, Brice - very cool of you.

[Nerak]

We need to start sabotaging all the higher players so my 11 - 5 picks actually mean something!!!!

[NeedfulKings]

Ahhh...the starting of a revolution!!!!!!!!!! I'm in!!

Wait...I just picked Seattle to beat Dallas...

I'm out!

[SpaceMaN]

I hope I get 6th place, I sure could use 4000 Buicks.

I AM the tanking champ, so try to out-suck me the rest of the year, if you think you can.

Wait, that sounded dirty.

[NeedfulKings]

OMG, it DOES say Buicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With today's gas prices, I'd take 4000 Toyotas!

[razz]

well if i'm lucky, I'll win something
maybe title of worst football pick...er.

I'd rather have a Takuro Spirit.

That's a coveted prize.....but there will competition for it. And, coming from experience, it can be difficult to pick losing teams too. The NFL is a weird league!

I'd rather have a Takuro Spirit.

True!!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

Thanks to a VERY generous donation from one of our players, the Beam Buck prizes are going to change dramatically!!!!!! I won't go into detail until this weekend, but I will say that the donation was "epic."

THANKS NERAK!!!!!

[SpaceMaN]

What are those good for anyway?

[NeedfulKings]

I can't find the post, but somewhere is a list of membership upgrades you can "purchase," such as bigger sigs, avatars, etc.

Mainly, if you click on the "Casino" up near the top, you can use your Bucks to play the wagering games. Warning...they go fast!!!

[Nerak]

Welcome. Someone might as well use em! LOL

That's very likely. I'll redo the original post on Sunday to reflect the updated prizes.

[NeedfulKings]

Last Place – Trophy + 3,000 Beam Bucks
Fourth Place – 10,000 Beam Bucks
Fifth Place – 7,500 Beam Bucks

I am holding back about 9,000 Beam Bucks that will be awarded at the conclusion of the contest!

Thanks again to Brice and Nerak (okay, and me) for really jazzing this thing up!

4 trophies!!!

50,000 Beam Bucks!!!!!

I'm loving it!

[Nerak]

And I can't get my ass out of 7th place!

[Ruthful]

I wold definitely enter these contests if they didn't entail a more elaborate thought-process than simply picking The Lions to lose every game.
