I think forum contest should be simple. I like the random number picked type contest myself.

What about a murder mystery game. It would start with a simple setup story introducing the characters and the overall story. Additional clues could be given once a day after that. The first person to figure out who did it gets the grand prize. Each contestant only gets one chance to pick the killer, and I think they would have to enter their guess by PM so no one else could see what they guessed. Maybe you could pick random prize winners during the contest for smaller prizes like gift certificates. The first person to pick the killer gets the grand prize - a SS Vtube. The second person to pick the killer gets a SS mini V tube.

Story contests never make sense someone always fs it up lol

The murder mystery hardly seems simple. I like the idea but it was the butler with the knife lol

Mm the avatar idea is cool, but I don't want to check back every 5mins lol

Kk, I want to know what u would do.

Ogredog wants someone else to win for a change. Imagine your buddy or a random new member you choose winning. That would be awesome for them!

While I understand the idea of a simple contest (I love em), sometimes a little work needs to go into them. I see contests all the time where it is just a person posting again and again to try to win with no interest vested in the contest, the thread, or the vendor. I don't mind working if it is fun and something cool. Not going to put a bunch of time in for a 10ml bottle of juice, but for something substantial I will put a little effort and actually follow the thread. That being said....

I think the contest should be to make a story, in pictures, video, or words, of the adventures of your Apollo (or other) PV. The contest would be judged on the originality and creativity of the story. There would also be a side contest that would be based on the execution of the story (MM would be a tough one to beat on this one). The judging would be done by Apollo crew and a group of peers selected by them. Maybe have the selected guest judges be made up of newbies (maybe have a special side contest for the reviewer who provides the most insight - can you say draw in potential new customers?), that way it wouldn't become such a popularity contest.

I know, a lot of possibilities, but it would be fun.

1st Prize: Apollo SSLT kit, 10ml juice, and a DCT
2nd Prize: Apollo Vtube kit (no SS), 10ml juice, and clearomizers or cartomizers
3rd Prize: Apollo Vtube or Apollo Extreme Starter kit and 10ml juice
4th Prize: DCT, and 10ml juice

Execution Prize: 5 pack juice sampler
Newbie Judge Prize: DCT and 3 pack juice sampler

Alright. That is my idea.

x2 I like this idea too, Ogredog! Call it the "Choose the Winner" contest. Whoever wins gets to choose who the winner is.

Hmm, well, what about having some secret symbol hidden on your website, and the first person to find and post it wins something? IDK, but it would get people looking around at the website, if that's what you're after! BTW, love my mini ss vtube. I drop it all the time and it still loves me. :D

Edit: You could have the winner of a prize pick the item that would have the next secret symbol. It could be something they think the next winner would like. I suppose you could take it a level further where everyone could have the chance to swap prizes around at the end!

Apollo's First Annual Hot Tater Race
Here is my entry. :)
trying to (kiss) Keep it simple

1. The entry will have to be closed at some point. This is called "Sundown". No NEW entrants after Sundown
2. OP will chunk a hot tater at a random member in the thread.
Tater is big, red writing or something easy to see
3. The receiver of the hot tater will be known as "IT"
4. Keep the tator for a while, known as "Bouncing the Tater"or chunk
immediately...it must leave his hands in allotted time. (2 hrs, 6hrs, 24hrs, two days, lol just whatever sounds fair)
5. If IT does not get rid of the tater within the allotted time period, IT is OUT!
6. Once you are out you may not play again until the next leg of the race begins...Part II, of Apollo's Annual Hot Tater Race
((at random intervals OP may pass out (random.org) appetizers (juice) and drinks (disposables or clearos, whatever)

7. When someone is Out of the Race, OP or MOD chunks another tater to someone
8. This goes on for some time until....

A. post count is high enough
B.There are only 3.4.5.6.7....people left (up to OP's discretion)
C.OP just decides it's time and...

9. The game is called SOUP! Time to drag random.org out and pick the winner!
10. During the race, chat as much as you like. It will make it harder for people to find out if they are "IT"...but,
a person can only be "IT" every 3 or 4 or 5 turns. (OP decides)

Even if you are put out...stay and chat. Then you will know when the next leg starts and cheer on your friends. ;)


Special Rules and Titles for Winners continuing..........

1 . The winner cannot play the rest of the games, unless, he/she wants to play for someone else.

2. He may only play for another efc member or to contribute to efc management for contribution of membership games.

3. If he should win again (and this is highly unlikely) the prize will be awarded and HE will be given the title...drumroll please..

MASTER CHEF.

4. Master Chef will be entitled to a 30ml Spice (E-Juice) each month for one year.

5. If for some reason the Master Chef does not need spices, example.... he/she diy's and makes their own spice (juice) then...

Apollo 701 E-Cigar GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!!! or woman:)
or something of equal or lower quality and price. at OP's discretion.

because he/she deserves it. LOL

Special Note, the second and third legs could be started right away or a week or a month later. give everyone time to recuperate. lol

At this time, second leg or Part II of the Race begins. Rinse and Repeat until all the legs (parts) have been concluded. Usually 3 Legs (parts)

1st Prize: Apollo VTube Kit SS with metal tank. http://www.apolloecigs.com/Dual-Coil-Tank-Cartomizer-p/adct.htm
(this is what I want) :)
2nd Prize : something almost as nice
3rd Prize : perhaps a beginner kit or say 3 juices of choice, or cartomizers or clearomizers. (prizes at OP's discretion)


SPECIAL RULES: If you know "IT" you might want to pop them an PM.... or you might not. No way we can monitor that. ;)

There will be a ZERO tolerance for squabbling and fussing. You WILL be disqualified at the first HINT of discord. We are all adults and we want to all have fun. Besides I would be terribly disappointed.

All decisions ongoing and final will be up to the OP.
Might be a good idea to get a couple helpers or Monitors to help out.

I have tried my best to keep this simple and the concept is, the explaining is less than simple. Everyone should asks question before we start, if they have any. OP may simplify the contest in any way he sees fit.

thanks and hugs

Poetry Contests!

Two week contest at a time.
First round could be limericks (clean ones! Well, mostly clean, at least :blush:)
Then we could do haikus.
Then 3 line rhymes.
Etc Etc

1st place - vtube
2cd place - 25$ GC
3rd place - 10$ GC
4th place - pats on the back...

Winners would be decided by ........ Contest sponsors.

Let the ECF community show it's literary creativity!

Example -
There once was a lady from Indiana.
Whose smoking was driving her bananas.
She picked up an ecig
And took her first vapor swig -
The taste was from heaven like manna!

(OK, that was a very poor attempt, but you got the point....)

I like the idea of creative work being featured on the Apollo website or if you guys have a blog or something; it could be good exposure for writers or artists or photographers. Maybe a photo contest of the craziest spot someone can smoke an e-cig and get away with. First place could be a stainless steel and some liquid, second maybe just a regular VTube, third some e-juice and a gift card, fourth some e-juice. I'd probably take a photo of me smoking in a taxi in New York while the driver looks confused - the irony! :p

I'd also like to add that the simpler, the better. I run a small charity site, and when people give away stuff in contests, you would not believe how lazy people are if you even have to take a pic. I was giving away a $25 Outback gift card for the pic of the worst pot/pan/etc, and I think I ended up with three entries. People just don't want to work for freebies, cuz we are in general lazy .......s. ;)
