The Reef just off the Florida coast
He came in on the last 1/2 hour of a contest and won 4 prizes

4 Prizes! What a lucky bast!
Lox, have you checked your lottery tickets?



BTW, Redd, you gotta talk to your contestmaster buddy. It don't look good when he's picking numbers and his wife wins twice in two days. I'm sure it was all on the up and up, but it's just the appearance. ???

I appreciate your concern Turtle but as you know I am not usually the one to pick the numbers...everyone that plays has an equal chance at winning prizes...there were 13 V Tubes given away 2 TGo Kits and numerous bottles of juice...all drawings done randomly with the results from Random.org posted publicly for everyone to see....the exact same way as you do it as I understand. Additionally I do not participate in the contests that I help with unlike other Vendors allow or helpers do as I feel that would be unfair to the participants. However allowing a friend/spouse/relative/neighbor/significant other/domestic partner to participate in a contest is perfectly fine in my opinion. Everyone... regardless of age, marital/domestic status..sex...race..national origin..handicap..etc..should be afforded equal opportunity to participate and win these great prizes that the Vendors through their amazing Generosity make available to the Members here at ECF.
Happy 4th of July Everyone!!:)

BRAVO - BRAVO ! ! ! Well Said "My" Friend . . .

However, as you know I have absolutely no respect for that other individual (nor care what they think about anything) and although I agree with you about a lot of this and what you said, I will say that "Bad" and "Dano" of GotVapes do run a very clean and fair Contest . . . More importantly, I personally know for a fact that "BAD" WOULD NEVER EVER put up with any inappropriate "stuff" - epecially IF HE KNOWS about it or that it is happening . . . Just sayin' :D

Indeed...and I'm not implying that any shenanigans are occurring...I believe results speak for themselves. I think that corruption is always a potential if fairness doesn't come first...like they say Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. I will ALWAYS be Fair and Impartial.

I wanted to emphasize these two statements. I have no doubt that you were fair and impartial, Kk. But do you really think it doesn't raise eyebrows when you pick the number and you wife wins? It's just all about appearance, not integrity. I do not question your integrity.

:)It may raise eyebrows.. I don't know...you have been the only one to bring it up...however Appearance and Fact are two entirely different things. The Members that frequent the threads that I do know me well enough to know that I do NOT play favorites...perhaps it only Appears to you that way?? In point of fact when I do the Random Number Generator I am on the phone with Redd and she looks the Winning number up and I look it up afterwards to confirm it and Post it. Perhaps Redundant but it insures that more than one person is involved in confirming the Winners identity. Assumptions may be made about many things regarding me..however my Honesty and Integrity is not one of them.

I ran a contest at Nu-Vapor and redd's post numbers came up the first five times I did Random.org, she did, of course, get first prize but I decided to send the other places off to others (I think I still spun her one more time!!! :laugh:) and knew she'd be cool with it -- but I knew redd so i made that decision. All I mean by posting here is that Random.org is an arm of Satan himself meant to befuddle me and cheat me of clean wins!!! :evil::evil::evil:

Happy Independence Day!!!

In point of fact I drew my wife's name 3 different times to win a V Tube...and chose to pick a different Winner exactly for the reasons of impartiality. It is an Arm of Satan!!! :evil::toast:

GESS - It actually never fails when "YOU" do the "RIGHT THING" by Some People . . . They Will Never Ever Be Satisfied or Happy (and even have the unadulterated audasity to complain) . . .

Matter of fact, something happened in a couple of Contest that I ran and "My" Own Personal Ethic's just "kicked-in," so I just had to do right by the person . . . I corrected a problem - that really was not a problem at all - and even helped them out when they were wrong . . .

AND - Don't you know they actualy came right-up behind "Me" and "BIT" Me on the "buttocks" anyway - not just once either - this type of situation happened twice with the same person ("STUPID ME", but it will not happen a third time - I am not that "dumb" ;) ) . . .

BTW - You know what the funnest thing is about the whole situation they weren't even suppose to have "Won" anything the second time, especially given the rules and how things went - but I gave them a "Consolation Prize" anyway . . . Talk about being impartial and fair to someone who didn't deserve nor actually win anything . . . AND - IMO - Given their personality and demeanor during contest, I know they probably wouldn't have even thought about what was ethical and fair or have done the right thing if they could . . .

NOW - Again IMO - It Is Without A Doubt An Absolute "SHAME" And So Horrible That - THEY GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY GET AWAY WITH AND WHAT THEY DO - and so many people know about them and what they do too . . .
