"How did you spend your TMP Poll Prize gift certificate?" Topic

Seems like we never hear back from people who chose the gift certificates as their poll prizes.

So, how did you spend it? What did you get?

I'd tell you if I EVER WON ANY!

I picked up some western buildings from Total System Scenic.

I haven't won one yet Bill (hint hint). I 'spose I would if I actually did the polls….

Well, to be honest, I never did, as I didn't get the certificate.

I think TMP had some sort of collapse just when you were supposed to send out the code, and then I didn't pick it up.

When I won I just ignored it.

give me one and I'll tell you, sort of a market research approach perhaps….:)

Sorry, Henrix…

Since IIRC you have to submit poll ideas, I haven't and
won't be winning any.

However, if I did, I'd choose the free membership and
ask that it be given to some deserving person…

<<Since IIRC you have to submit poll ideas, I haven't and

Wow, I thought you just had to take part in the polls, not submit. That explains some of the real lame polls and some appearing to win twice.

I've never actually received mine either. However, since I asked for a QRF certificate and they seemed to stop endorsing the polls right after I won thought there might be some sort of link there…

Baddaski, drop me an email and I will look into that.

We stopped doing them only because we got through our initial allocation rather quickly (seems they were popular), although we may do another batch shortly.

Re-upped on both…

It's ok, Bill, no big deal. ;-) It's more important that the site is up and running.

I'll win another soon anyway. The only question is whether it'll be before I win all those millions on lotto.

I thought you just had to vote in the polls, not suggest a poll! No wonder I haven't won anything!

Put me in the same group as Henrix and Baddaski.

No big deal as I participate in the polls regardless of prizes.

I added to the certificate and picked up some nice limber animals from Cavalcade. I think they are water buffaloes, but look the part for my armies in India 1840's. Really nicely done miniatures and the price and service were right.
Thanks again Bill

A variety of 14th century troops.
Scots from QRF
Assorted Minifig knights and whatnot from Caliver

The prizes definitely spurred purchases I wouldn't have otherwise made, so they are indeed good for business!

sniff sniff
I missed my chance during a trip with the Army, came back just in time to see that I had missed the deadline. Harumpf

I would likely have taken a membership. Just to see what it is like in Camelot ;)

Oh, it's much the same here in Camelot – better food, fewer peasants, much singing and dancing. It is a silly place.

Mine was great!
I took an all-expense-paid trip to the Bahamas and was able to attend the next "Playboy goes to the beach" photo shoot.

…. no wait!?….. that wasn't me.
I never won. DARN !!

Got some spiffaroo gabioned earthworks from Black Cat for my 15mm SYW armies to hide behind.

had bill give it to a random person whos membership was running out.

How many have won a poll more than once??

Participated for several months, saw several multi-poll winners. Haven't won myself. Still answer polls when they pertain to me.

Since IIRC you have to submit poll ideas, I haven't and
won't be winning any.

Correction

All you have to do to qualify for a poll prize is participate in the polls. It has nothing to do with submitting a poll suggestion.

Participated in every poll except for a 10-day period in which I had no internet access for most of my time here.

Never won anything here yet, so I can't say…

All I ever won was a tongue lashing from anti-poll curmudgeons.

I haven't found anyone who accepts it as currency.

Has the poll prixze thing stopped? Not mentioned in a few days, and no open polls, not neccessarily a bad thing :)
