So, what's all this about?
I would like to organize a giveaway for the Christmas and New Year season, however since I will be away during that time, I need someone to host it for me. I will supply the prizes myself, all I need is a host(ess).
What traits are you looking for in the successful candidate?
The potential host should be a forum member in *excellent* standing. I won't be asking for any particular join date or rep requirement, but I'd prefer someone who has been around. GA hosting experience is not necessary.
And what do you offer in return?
Unfortunately I will not be compensating you for this job. However, since most GA first posts quickly turn green, you'll probably end up receiving a rep boost, if that's something you're interested in.
I want to apply, but I'd like to know how much time will I need to spend on this.
Not that much. You'll start the giveaway some time before Christmas. After that all you'll need to do is make sure it's bumped from time to time and see that everyone behaves nicely. You will need to do one important job though after the giveaway ends. I'll need you to compile a numbered list of all the entrants so I can quickly run random.org on them.
Cool, I'm interested. So how do I apply?
Reply here and say that you're in. Don't PM me. Since attention to details is something I'm looking for in a potential host, if you ignore this and PM me just to say you're in, you're likely decreasing your chances. If you have any questions, ask here too. You may however PM me if for any reason you'd like to keep your query private. Be aware however, that I don't log in often, so it might be some time before you receive a reply.
I'd like to apply, but your giveaway sounds so cool, I'd rather join it.
Hosting this giveaway will NOT prevent you from joining it. I'll be drawing the winners myself, so there is no question of cheating. So even if you host it, go ahead and join. The more the merrier.
I'd like to apply, but I'm a cat.
Cats (and people with cat avatars) are *gulp* welcome to apply too.
Wait a sec... Mar 2015 join date? And I don't remember seeing you around here. You must be a scammer!
I'm not a scammer. Though this account is indeed an alt that I created just to host GAs, I'm actually an old member. I did create one giveaway already:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_thank_the_fellows_giveaway_3rd_ed
Anything else?
The winners will be chosen later, though I can't give a specific deadline. Semi-randomly, with random.org when necessary.
Please respect my privacy. I'd ask you that should you somehow manage to find out my identity to please keep it to yourself.
