COMMON QUESTIONS & HELP - CHECK BACK HERE REGULARLY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Competition Slots available: Feb 12, 2006 - 100 entered, 25 spots left

How do I enter this competition? Where? See the link just above here to enter.

Q: What does my $20 get me?
your $20 entry fee enters you into a contest where there will be one winner selected among the 125 entrants. In case of a tie a winner will be randomly selected where you are assigned eight numbers between 000&999. The numbers are all relative to each other by 125. e.g. the person who has #000 also has 125, 250, 375, etc.

Q: How are those numbers determined?
1: You can enter your favorite three numbers when you pay your $20 entry fee (will use the first one that isn't already taken)
2: Kenny will select one at random from a random number picker on the Web. The other 7 numbers are relative to the first number (as explained above)

Q: I paid, now where are my numbers?
Kennydoe, our 'Raffle Guru', is handling everyone's money and all the numbers. When all 125 entries are sold, the list of everyone's numbers will be posted publicly, along with the date of the drawing.

Q: I paid my entry fee 2 days ago but had a dream last night that my winning number was "362". Can I tell Kenny to change my number?
NO. Once your number is assigned, it's set in stone.

Q: When is the drawing?
48-72 hours after the last ticket is sold.

Q: I just signed up for Paypal and I'm listed as 'unverified' - it will take a few days to verify myself, but the rules say I need to be verified to enter. What should I do?
Just sign up and send money. We won't draw without you, unless you take more than a week or two to be verified.

paypal.com: I've [Kennny the raffle treasurer] already received a couple of emails about 'what's paypal and how do i use it?' I'm helpful by nature, but PLEASE...try to figure it out yourself. www.paypal.com. Sign up for an account, it's free. you can either put money into an account or you can hook it directly into your bank account. Paypal will not charge you, as a buyer, to use their service.

email address for all inquiries is winajemAToptonline.net. Glen & I will both have access to it, however i think it will probably be mostly me who's checking it ;) Any messages other than this paypal email that says you paid will be ignored. Do NOT email about numbers, etc.

Winning Number selection: is randomly generated by the same lottery site the winning number will be picked. If you requested a "number" it may or not be assigned and if not you get random numbers. Everyone will get EIGHT NUMBERS that range from 000-999 (1000 combinations = 8x125)

eligibility of moderators & vendors: I have concluded since they all began as forum members and many have contributed to the forum over the years, they are eligible to participate in the raffle EXCEPT the "guitar dealer/reseller vendors" who are comprised of Rich, Matt and Eric. In addition myself and kennydoe are not eligible. See raffle page for member requirements.

its nice to see this thread has nothing to do with jems/essays anymore and is all about desperate guitar nerds..............
bahaha... no kidding...

(sorry if this offends anyone, inc. karma) - but no self-respecting female would post a photoshopped pic of their back side on a forum if they weren't lacking in male attention.

Now imagine the tables were turned and a male posted a picture of similar nature. Doesn't quite work does it... 8|

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think this type of behavior/activity brings the tone of this forum/thread down.

Just my .02.

Since we have some free time until friday, I'd like to comment on this. While you didn't see me commenting over any pics, you also won't see me passing judgement over such behaviour or making grossly unfair comments. "self-respect" is exhibited in many ways, some of which you or the next guy might not understand.

So in short chill until friday.

work out of but then i got sick and set me back again ;/ and remember no
UV's available until mid march [what i'm told anyway]

Glen loves the ladies, lol

Seriously though, my girlfriend would be through the door if she even contemplated posting nude pics anywhere on the net. The good thing is she wouldn't dream off doing anyway.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things we can do until friday, and if you REALLY need to see some naked pics, why not go to some porn site which has pics that go the whole hog?

Like has been said before, I think it brings the tone down. Not only that, but how the hell do I explain a naked women on my screen at work?

Make sure you clean the guitar before sending then or it'll be a "WIN A JEM + SICKNESS" essay competition.

Anyway, I hope it's not serious mate, get well soon and all that.

I'm partial to my three "ladies" (no i won't be posting the third) :)

As shown above, there are various states of "nudity". How about you show her this thread, hand her a JEM and a camera and test your "wouldn't dream of doing" it theory (j/k)

Well if you boss is a woman and/or a man who thinks "a woman's place is in the kitchen" then you might have problems... if i was your boss and saw GUITAR photos on your monitor i'd be more pissed. Still in USERCP you can control the inline images as needed... glen

Kind of what I was thinking...

As for nudity, if it's not showing more than a Sports Illustrated swimsuit shot, then who cares? I mean if they were full frontal shots on a public guitar forum I could see people not being cool with it, but the pics in question are harmless.

Props to the guys who saw the pics for what they were: Funny. And apologies to the guys who were "offended" about "going off topic" and thanks to Glen for his self-respect comment...my sentiments exactly. It was fun gentlemen. Ciao.

My boss is my parents which makes it double awkward. Plus, it's not the kind of work where I use the computer for anything other than entertainment.

Like I've said before, I work in a pub, so it's only a matter of time before you get bored of hearing regulars tell you about there woes.

As described above, parents are damn fussy bosses, but in stranger ways than most can imagine.
