Here are the details regarding the Super Secret Contest:
Prize: Super Secret! Depending on who the winner is, it could be somewhat catered to that individual (i.e. cigar or pipe smoker, interests, etc.).
How to Enter: You can't! You must be nominated by someone else.
Rules: You must send me a private message (PM) with a nomination for someone who you feel has been an excellent BOTL that exhibits care, concern, and good mojo in the community (pipe or cigar). This is someone that has made a direct impact on you or someone who you can easily tell has a huge impact on others because of their words and/or actions. You must also include the reasoning why you are nominating them. What exactly constitutes these qualities? It's Super Secret! Only you know why you are nominating someone so you need to share it with me! You can nominate yourself, but if you do, you're automatically disqualified even if someone else nominates you! Some examples of nominations and reasons could be as follows:
1. commonsenseman - Because he takes care of the Newbie Sampler Trade which ensures that new pipe smokers are assisted down the slipper slope! No real benefit for him. Keeping order and keeping things rolling. Super generous!
2. NeverBend - Because he sent out a handful of samples to 17 different people. Super generous!
3. Branzig - He sent samples because of losing the March Madness contest, but he included a pipe too. Super generous!
How a winner will be chosen: Super Secret! I'm planning to accept nominations through the weekend and probably half of next week at which point I will post that nominations are closed. At that point, I will group together any nominations made for the same person. I'm leaning towards posting a poll and will provide the different nominations and reasonings behind the nominations within the initial post. Those who submit the nominations will remain anonymous. I reserve the right to edit and apply my own artistic twist to any nomination while grouping it together with others and posting it within the poll. Also, I stated that how the winner will be chosen is Super Secret because while there will be a poll, I reserve the right to add my own vote outside of the poll which may or may not Super Secretly outweigh any and all votes! :cool:
Reason for the contest: NOT Super Secret! In my career, I love mentoring new associates! In life, I love giving whether that means gifts, money, time, or anything else I can. I'm extremely lucky in life for so many reasons and have so much to be grateful for and every day I wish there was some way I could give back more! We need to take the time to recognize those who make an impact to ensure they know their efforts are appreciated!
Let the nominations begin!
