3/6/2006 - Lost In Translation

Ok everyone, we have two people who have already submitted a dozen or so links each.  Just to remind everyone,

we are only counting one link from each website, so a couple links will be invalidated because one come from the home page and then the 2nd might have came from the forums of the same website (only one of the 2 links would be counting in that case). 

The number to beat so far is around 9 (I don't have the e-mails readily available at the moment).  Luckily a lot of you have blogs and friends with blogs, so some of you can rack up links pretty quickly. 

The forums are being upgraded tonight, expect some fuzziness.  If we encounter any problems we'll just take them back down, roll back the database changes and try again another night. 

I'm not absolutely sure the dice roller will make it in right away, but there is some new support for modules that makes it look like it should be much "simpler" than it was last time. 

Hello all!

   Those who already have DDO realize that our schedules are a little off.  Jason plays an hour or so earlier than us usually and likewise stops playing an hour or so before we do.  Still, we're having a ton of fun, played a couple hours tonight and really enjoyed ourselves.

The MEU guild is growing, but I think most of the players play earlier than us, as when I log on I often see someone just as they log off.  Hopefully we can get people to keep joining and eventually enough people will be in the guild that their schedules will overlap enough that we can fairly keep people busy.

As part of these efforts, we came up with the idea for our next contest.

Dndorks is changing, traffic is going up, the code is being upgraded here and there, and we're testing out the new Community Server 2.0 upgrade from our existing 1.1 (its quite a bit of work).  WIth all that, we're hoping to get the word out there about the site. 

We're asking our fans to get links from as many other websites as possible linking back to dndorks.com

Here are the rules

• Only one link per site counts for credit.
• Each link must be legitimate (aka the link can't be against good taste or against the rules of the website that  the link is on).
• The first person to link from any given site receives credit for that link, followup links won't be counted.
• The contest ends March 19th at midnight pacific standard.  No submissions after that time will be counted.

Send a list of all the links to me via the contact form or rmathis@-no_spam-dndorks.com .  We'll be adding a page listing all the links submited by person after the contest is done so if you ask a friend to do a link exchange it will be valid and count both ways. 

What are the prizes? (yeah, I know, the important part) 

The person who submits the most links will receive their choice of either a retail box of DDO shipped to them or a 40 dollar gift certificate to Amazon.com. 

The two runners up will receive either 2 month of gametime via PayByCash.com  or 20 dollar gift certificates to amazon.com

With that, let the game begin!  Good luck everyone, and we appreciate any effort put into this contest!  If done well, hopefully the next contest can be even bigger!

Hello all! The contest was supposed to end last night. But I've been having some e-mail problems so I'm going to give everyone until 6am Pacific Time tomorrow to get an e-mail to me letting me know where they linked to us from. If you did "not" receive an e-mail confirmation from me confirming I received your e-mail in some way, please send your e-mail again! The number one position is currently around 25-30 links (I haven't counted, going to go through them before I announce the winner), the rest are floating between 10-15. If you have more, make sure you get it in sometime today!

T-shirts! We're going to have t-shirts hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks. We're going to have some sort of contest to win some free t-shirts, and then the rest will be sold for a reasonable price (so far we're looking at around 12 dollars +S&H). We're going for ultra-high quality, navy blue color shirts as our first real go. So far we're looking at getting a number of Medium, Large, X-large, and some XX-large. If you are some other size and you think you'd like to buy (or try to win) a shirt, please e-mail me via the contact page, I'll include a couple of whatever alternate size. If the whole thing goes well and we like the company we're dealing with, more shirts and other products should be coming out soon.

Hey, Everybody!  There's a new review up for the Player's Guide to Eberron.  Check it out and let me know what you think of the review, or if you've read the book yourself, let us know what you thought of it.
