Hi guys,

I've decided to start a new long term giveaway thread, that I will ultimately sponsor, though others can also put into.

The task: you have to be active on the forums in supporting users with problems. I was inspired by this thread: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_guild_gold_edition/cant_advance_levels_help where I gave up, and many others would too, but JMich stepped up and really put a lot of work in to get the guy sorted out. He's the first winner, and need simply post a message of his desired game to claim his $9.99 GOG prize.

I believe that we need to start applauding and rewarding these acts, though they are done without desire for reward. So if people have other examples then please do post them, and they'll get a free GOG. The giveaway does not act retrospectively though, has to be dated after this thread. I would also consider sustained support effort, such as that of Stuff on the DivineDivinity thread.

I'm afraid that in order to prevent situations being engineered, you can't refer yourself, and both the nominee, and the nominator have to be >=30 rep.

I know this is not why people help out on these threads, but I think we need more focus on them.

Nice idea I will look around later for somebody to be threated like this :)

+ 1 vote and rep .

That's an excellent idea!

I'll definitely keep an eye out for that sort of thing, though I actually notice it quite a lot already, which is really nice. :)

Awesome idea, +1 wpegg.

very good idea! you might want to add this link on top

Whilst a useful source of information. This thread is more about encouraging and rewarding others engaging in the game specific threads, and trying to fix the problems.

If someone fixes a problem from that thread, then they'll be GOGged up.

It's a Shame it's not retrospective... I would've mentioned the guys who helped me install and make Fallout 1 work on my mini-laptop...

Just too big a can to open I'm afraid.

Oh I suggested to have that link only for the purpose of encouraging people who would like to participate to spot the problems that seek solution :)

Great idea wpegg, +1.

While I totally understand, I'm still gonna put the link to show the devoted helpers they were.

I'm not expecting anything, rules are rules, but still, just to show an example as to which extent people go to help each others on this forum, and to encourage others to do so,

Thanks again guys.

Bumping this for night (or US) visibility. Thank you wpegg, and you have PM.

Damn, you guys are awesome. +1 rep
:D

Awesome as always wpegg :)
