Whats with the 50 posts thing...

Yet another reasonr for the requirement, intelligence. You should have a good knowledge of spudguns before you enter one. The post requirement helps ensure that knowledge. So go learn.

not to mention...if you don't have a good knowledge of them....you could injure or kill yourself or someone else....

If anything the 50 posts is saving you from embarressment. If you really want to be a member, just learn from the site and then put forth information of your own.

Let me put it like this, my knowledge of spudguns is basic. I would still like to enter the contest though, mainly for the fun of it; I don't have any expectations of winning.

With what cannon though? And dont take my post as trying to yell at you, I am just commenting. Also, why are you so intent on entering the contest?

I know basic things about them, enough to keep me and people around me safe.

Why not enter the contest, my cannon was just finished today so it seems like perfect timing. As far as the cannon I guess you will see soon, its nothing special.

Ok well, when is the due date? If you have time to keep posting then keep posting, as long as they remain inteligent and helpful to whatver topic your adding too.

No offense, but it seems to me that the entire point of entering any contest is to test skills and knowledge and to attempt to win said contest.

Its not just about winning...... add some stupid motovational quote about how losing isnt the end of the world, and that winning is not everything. But in reality, winning is everything.

paaiyan · Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:57 pm

Winning isn't everything, but losing sucks.

homeflake210 · Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:57 pm

I mainly want to see how many votes I get on my cannon.

ShowNoMercy · Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:59 pm

Very true, but you can do that anyway if you just post your cannon and put a poll up right?
