You seem to have some inside information.

What did it have to do with, then?

Owen decided to leak the message that was sent to him, and I cannot go into any more specifics... Just a case of trolling.

The ban was not because TeamCC wanted this contest to go under, that's just silly to think of.

Trolling, eh?

I guess if you get to change the definition of "trolling" whenever it suits your purpose...

It is an unfortunate fact that team cc have decided to take the course of action they have. Owen's ban was because, according to Andy, he was trolling for having unilaterally posted his negative reaction on the subject of cc giving away a derisory 3 months premium membership to their winners. He then responded to 3 posts taking the opposite view to his by holding his ground. Team cc decided to strike by wiping out his facility to post his thoughts and responses. Shame on you Team cc and shame on you Andy.

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, true to our word, this competition will continue.
The Bandits look forward to giving away 12 months membership to our winner.

Thanks CC!!!

I think that it's incredibly classy that you guys are continuing the contest despite Team CC's best efforts to demoralize your fine organization.

If you stick your tongue in just a little bit further, I'll bet you can reach the transverse colon.

Oh the shame. When will it ever end. My guess. Never.

Whoa whoa whoa ... I sent him everything except the one mysterious one that no one can identify ... who do I need to resend this to?

Have resent the answer key, all save the one obscure one ... I just checked in/found out because I realized August has concluded and was wondering where my free premium prize was ...

Gilligan, I don't know what anyone does or why ... but this it seems pretty poor timing to ban someone from forum while they are in the middle of a free premium contest. Just saying ...

Jbrettlip: You have, per requested above, my response via PM ... please let me know ASAP. From a review of the previous posts, I am thinking I got the most correct, but then again, I don't have all of the responses either, we don't know that people didn't submit without engaging in dialogue on the forum, etc.

I don't want what isn't rightfully mine, but I think I deserve this ....

I'm really impressed by the hard work some people put in! I wish we could give prizes to all the people who got them all or were only missing one.

Yeah, sorry Cheat, but I think I got them all and, from squishyg's post, I'm not the only one. Guess it's going to come down to a drawing.

Ahoy, Ahoy Conquer Club! (stealing Andy's greeting since his allowing Owen's ban to stand has complicated our contest.)

As you all know, Owen still can't access PM's and has several entries that were sent to him before the witch hunt errrr, ban began. We are trying to sort it out, as we don't want to award the wrong person the prize. Therefore, this deadline has been extended until the 15th of September.

Currently, there are multiple entries with all the right answers.

As for clues/hints etc: many of our less active members had albums assigned to them based on user names or where they are from. The more active members picked their own.

C'mon, seriously? You've already got multiple entries with all the right answers, for which, as squishyg said, I worked very hard, and now you're giving clues? Bad form, imo.

One may think that saying such may incline you to not give me the prize, even if you draw my name, but I know how much you value the right to free speech.

That is no worry. We aren't "fixing" this contest. Whoever wins, I am buying the prize for. We have done similar things before. Owen already bashed me on email for posting that, but since I already did, I am leaving it up as public info. Pulling it down now doesn't make sense.

I believe you.

Yeah, I totally agree. Actually, I wouldn't even use the premium as much as some others. I don't play speed, I don't play that many games, the only thing I would use it for would be to start private games, so I don't really care that much if I win. I gotta say, though, I thought this contest was great fun

I'm do glad you enjoyed it! The last bpb sig contest was the main reason I got involved in the CC forums and community, and of course, what made me want to be a bandit in the first place!

Of course! The only other sig contest I knew of was the Black History Month one, way back in 2009. I didn't do all that well on that one, but I did think it was a great idea. A lot of fun and educational at the same time. Rocked this one, though.

Indeed, it was!

Hello there, BpB!

What's happening with this contest? Is Owen back from his forum "vacation" yet? Did he have a good time? Did he take lots of pictures? Did he look into his Inbox and say, "Wait, we don't have multiple correct entries! Ffraid has the only truly correct answer to my, most difficult, album cover?"

Yes, my curiosity knows no bounds and is matched only by my capacity for inane chatter.

If look look further in the forums you can see robinette has a very lovely thread about the return of El jesus negro

Thanks for the info, CrazyIrishman. I had no idea he had been banned for that long. I thought Brett had said that the contest had been extended 'til 15 Sept., so I figured his ban was for 1 month. November! Wow.

Love the countdown clock, though.

It will be announced next week. Sorry for the delay. I simply have ahd no time to get this straghtened out.

Oh, it's no problem. I was just curious 'cause I hadn't seen anything in a while and I thought that Owen would be back by now.
