Vote for a winner! $10,000 Blog Contest - Page 8

**Zap** · #**141** (**permalink**) 10-16-2006, 07:54 PM

I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the contest.
The competition was fierce and helped to keep me on my game.

Congratulations to Julie for winning the contest.
Congratulations to Trapper for showing composure and class throughout the contest.

Thank you to John for providing the prize money and the premise for an interesting contest.

All of that being said...

If I am, indeed, one of the 70 runners up then that means there's $100 coming my way.
However, knowing the effort that I put into the contest and the effort that Trapper put into it, I wouldn't feel right about getting the same prize as him.
So, John, if applicable, please give Trapper half of my prize. ($50)

And, I challenge the other 68 runners up, who aren't Zap or Trapper, to do the same.
If you are a runner up and you honestly feel Trapper did a better job than you, give him $50.
He's certainly earned it.

Trapper came up with the "12 blogs in 12 hours" concept and I thought that was a fantastic idea.
It took the challenge to a different level and that action should be rewarded, IMHO.
He played a much better game than I.

I'm with you Zap, if I am one of those runners up I'd like Trapper to have half of it as well!

my bank account has $34 in it... but i'll gladly offer you a free trial of ... me.

I'd also like to congratulate everyone who took part. And also John Scott for putting together a contest. Hopefully there will be another one soon.

If everyone does that, it would mean Trapper got more money for being runner up

James Trotta · #**146** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 03:23 AM

Same here - thanks for running the contest John and please give Trapper half of whatever I win (if I win anything). Trapper and Julie - thanks for some great blogs (especially Trapper for turning me on to Kineda, the blog that has lots of pictures of hot Asian women).

I totally agree. That's what I'm aiming for.

I did the math too.

Louis · #**149** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 05:54 AM

We just need to figure out how the runner up process works.

In my opinion, those who made the top ten are definitely runners up.

There is 85 entries total. 1 Grand prize, 70 runner up prizes.

Heather · #**150** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 06:14 AM

Zap.....you're the man!

JuggoPop · #**151** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 06:48 AM

John please add my total $100 in winnings to trapper's total.
He did a better job then I did and I believe he deserves it more than me.

kristeejo · #**152** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 07:06 AM

please give trapper my winnings too

oh nevermind - i didn't play

Dustin07 · #**153** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 08:11 AM

Please send half of everybody's winnings my way as well, John.

JuggoPop · #**154** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 08:16 AM

for the record... mine is not a joke.

Louis · #**155** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 08:29 AM

So right now, the Trapper fund:
Trapper-> $100
Zap -> $50
Colleen -> $50
Louis -> $50
JuggoPop -> $100

Total = $350 for Trapper. That is of course, if we all make it runner up...

James Trotta · #**156** (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 08:31 AM

Help! I'm invisible! No one knows I here!
