Hmm.... Don't you reckon we should let the first one to respond thing go for a bit longer? Cause it would be unfair if we just started winning again and again, and other members don't get the chance... I'd say let it go till about round 35 maybe? Then free for all after that....

karrlot this is a fantastic idea!

I'm glad you think so. I was worried this would be one of those ideas that are fantastic in my head, but once they make it out of my head, people wonder what I've been smokin'.

think there should be a 50 posts limitation?


Hadn't thought of that, but its a good idea - we'll do that.

I think if you wanna take one out and add several to justify the value, it would be best to group those in one pack, so that the others can see...


Yes - that's exactly right. If you replace one coin with two coins - those two coins together are a single fabulous prize.

Wait a minute, theres a flaw in this system though, cause if you do that, eventually things start to pile up, and become very very expensive to ship.....


It might, but the person that sent it to you is thinking the same thing. S/he is not going to want spend a lot to ship it to you either. If it becomes a problem, we'll deal with it.

Yes, I thought about that, and 15 is kind of low, but I wanted people to be able to play again. People on this forum are generous enough that I don't think they'll be a prize hog.

That sure answeres all my doubts and worries, but it is a FANTASTIC idea... Kudos to you... Now let the game begin.... Actually, I think this should be a supplement to the exisiting PIF, so PIF 1, PIF 2, and this one... It'll be great... I don't think theres any need to abolish level one and two, but this can be totally separate... Hows that sound?

Karrlot,

Great idea for a contest. The package will need to make its way back to you at some point though. All those fabulous prizes up-front must earn you something in return!

Maybe call it Geopick or Pick&Pay or something similar and leave the pay it forward for the Pay It Forwards already running. Just an idea.
