Maybe your view is skewed because you're just looking at the US, as it does seem at first glance to have an overabundance of familiar faces in it. However, even just counting up those recognizable as regular posters/those with 1000+ posts (which, being someone with, is not the same as being influential or "big") the "small" posters outnumber the "big" posters, in both the US and Europe. I'm sure the number of active posters that tried for a shirt and didn't get one outnumber the amount that did, too.
Eh, I dislike random accusations of bias, so I had to respond. :p
Congrats to all that won shirts!

I guess there's no 100% way to verify that we did it legitimately. I suppose you'll just have to trust us that we didn't rig it.
Basically be mad at those who won for their insane luckiness. Especially DaGGeR, whose name came up three times for a shirt and once for an alternate, for a total of four positive draws. He needs to go to Vegas immediately.

Curses! 
Congrats to everyone that won though. I wish my name was the one that came out 4 times haha..

I know it looks pretty ridiculous that two of the largest postcount people won (thedeadhaji and IntoTheWow). One of them doesn't really need it anyway, as haji already has a CJ shirt.

okay, for all u doubters hating on me, even Hot_Bid agrees with me. don't do random accusations of bias towards low posters. -_-

since haji already has a shirt does that mean he cant get another one or what?
if thats true i get bumped up one for the white small usa shirt alternates =)
|
question, what is the general time being given for the winners to claim their prize, i know people are either at work, sleeping, or the like at the moment in diff areas of the world, just asking for general knowledge
As well, whats the next event you hinted at ?
|
So approximately how long do the winners have to pay before going to alternates?
I need to know the rough time frame I have to dispatch one of the white large winners...

Damn. Hopefully they'll be persuaded by the high interest to ship you guys another batch of shirts sometime in the future. I'm definitely not holding my breath though.

Average post count of Europe lottery entries: 385
Average post count of USA lottery entries: 840
Might explain the difference in the number of regulars in US vs Europe. :p

So basically americans spam a lot?
edit: what would the average postcount be if you remove haji and ITW from the calculation lol
|
so does that mean DaGGeR can buy 3 shirts and possibly a 4th???
|
if someone wants to sell me their shirt i'll give them 100 for it + SnH. just pm me.
