I would like to see two things happen over the next month
1) More people post about topics they find interesting
2) Clear out the extra items that have been sitting in my Steam inventory

To accomplish both, I am going to hold a 4-Week Contest.

-- HOW TO ENTER --
Simply post a topic on the forums about something you find interesting. Odds are someone else will find it interesting and there will be more material to read on slow weekends like today. Once you create the topic, reply to this topic with a link to the topic and I will count that as an entry. Wash and repeat every week over the next month to get an entry for each week of the contest

I have been trying to do this more, so below are a few examples:

Justice Department tries to force Google to hand over user data

Windows 8 continues to fail

23-Ton, 5.3-Million Lego X-Wing
http://www.gamercide.org/forum/topic/8974-23-ton-53-million-lego-x-wing/


-- REQUIREMENTS / RULES --
You must have a minimum of 30 posts to be eligible. This should allow for any new members that join in the next week to be able to participate before the contest ends.

I will not count entries that were reached by people "spamming" to reach the minimum post requirement. I reserve the right to decide what is considered "spamming".

You must post at least one topic of interest for EACH WEEK you wish to be entered. You are welcome and even encouraged to do more than one, but you will only get one entry for the week

To prevent repeat wins by one person, posts by previous winners will not count for entries in future weeks. The only exception to this would be in the event that the only entries for a week are all previous winners. Even if you win, I would still encourage you to continue posting about stuff you find interesting.

Entries will be assigned a number and chosen via a random number generator

-- CURRENT ENTRIES --
(For the week of June 16 - June 22)

-- ENTRY PERIODS --

This is incredibly awesome of you Skylark!  You are the man, and this is a great way to have fun and also get people to maybe post more. 

I'm going to participate just for conversation's sake, since I think I own almost all of those games anyway. YEAH FORUM TALKY!

Hahahahaha.  This is my entry for the week.

Since ThermoNukePanda was the only entry. I guess you get first pick at the games above.

Let me know what your interested in and I'll send it your way.

And How about you roll the entry since MrsBE didn't know she had to post her entry in here.  I want to be fair you know and I'm not greedy! 

Will do. I'll update the post when I'm not on my tablet.

I already own the games Panda, it's all good. I just wanna boost forum activity TBH

Just toss me in for the next one. If this counts.

Sure Does!

This is where I go to see who has been active on the forums.

You know what, even though I dont have some of those, I've been around forever and would rather try to hype up your contest a little for other people to maybe win.  I dont need them and want other people to feel the Gamercide love too.

Sounds good. I'll bump everything back a week.

Was Running around a lot this weekend and almost forgot about this.

Not to worry though!

Here are the entries:
1.Panda
2. Nick
