Momo1991: Another rare and elusive creature sighted!

Thespian*: Reminds me to some of the creatures in "Beyond Good and Evil".... :P

Just kidding, Ralackk. Your avatar is more like the Emperor of Mankind in Warhammer 40k lore. ;)
I think it is a snippet from the inlay of one of the WH40K rulebooks...
Also adding Psyringe and AFnord to the exceptionlist.

Thank you all for the suggestions on who to add, it helped me out a lot, althrough, it being so many, I likely missed someone along the way.

I won't be adding anymore people to the excetionlist through, as I'm hoping to draw the winners one of these comming days. Can't say when exactly as it depends on when I have enough time for it and whether the GOGwebsite is working properly for me then or not( had some trouble since yesterday).

To those of you who suggested Momo1991: I did consider her and while I agree that she has been a very postive addition to the forum since she came along, a 2013 join date is just "too young" for this particular giveaway imo. ( Already had a very hard time putting Thespian* & Licurg on the list for the very same reason.)

Also, samlii just generously donated another $10 GOGgame to the giveaway, please make sure to thank him as well!

I didn't join in 2013 , and neither did Thespian. You got my "re-birthday" wrong :P

I meant you are also quite "young" ;)
I can understand your decision since the giveaway is reserved for "longtime members".
I'd like to ask for permission to enter. In a few words, I've run a number of giveaways (in the form of Twenty Questions) previously (none recently, no money) and I also maintain the sticky thread in the Deus Ex Series forum. I've done some minor work on the community wiki as well.

Its actually Bioskull by Anne Stokes http://ironshod.deviantart.com/art/Bio-skull-31752387. Though she claims it's borg inspired I did originally choose it because it looks like it would fit right into WH40K. Also who doesn't like skulls?

Ralackk: ... who doesn't like skulls?
Here here ;)

Austrobogulator: I would like to add another vote for Momo1991. Also I think AFnord should be here, he's almost at 750; furthermore, he's a very friendly dragon.
avatar
Thespian*: I support this. ;)
I support this as well!

Thespian should be in there as well!

According to the search engine his/her username hasn't been mentioned in this topic. I'd like to recommend Almabrds to be entered into the list. He/she's got 832 rep pts currently. Maybe he/she misses this topic. He/she currently hosts this giveaway. And today (May 28th) it's his/her birthday.

Gigathanks to the generous contributors and K_1269 for the giveaway. It's a wonderful idea to honor the "Elders" of GOG.com. Hail to the elites of GOGers. Maybe one day I could be one of them.

In fact, I am, thanks to K_1269's exception list. Also, akhliber and Kristian donating prizes in a price range I'm a bit more comfortable to ask for it was a a deciding factor to decide to enter as a contestant myself). ;)

And thanks for thinking of me, niniendowarrior! :)

(as well as Momo, prior to that) :)

It struck me immediately as of WH40K when I saw it. I don't see any actual connection to the Borg canon, in fact. ;)
