The list of all 33 SB Commercial contest winners is now posted in the blog, along with all of the poll results. Congrats to coachgeorge95 for snagging the grand prize, and thanks to everyone for joining in the fun! Any questions?
I thought I was the automatic winner.
Is it because I'm naked? Huh? Is it?
It's because I'm naked, right? FUUU TONY I thought I declared myself automatic winner! What the fuck is this shit?
I got the vote counts for each of the polls and then used a random number generator to pick a number within that range for each question. Whoever cast the nth vote was the winner.
We had freezing rain over night. I am "working" from home, there's no issue for me. My boss called, trees have fallen on the street, he cannot get out and has no power. I'm watching local news, they say 400,000 without power. How about you?
Tom - yes, I was just curious the total # of users who answered any of the questions vs. how many users we actually have. I only recognized two usernames among the winners, so it got me wondering just how huge the total was.
Wow that is terrible. Not bad here. Freezing rain but will stop soon. Still have power but keeping phone charged. Weather channel saying no snow sat sun but all other stations saying 2 feet. Supposed to go to NYC saturday. Glad you can "work" at home
I hope the weather will stay reasonable, I will be in your neighborhood, I'm hopefully flying out of Newark Saturday morning. I live in the city so we never lose power, but just in case I'm keeping the phone charged too.
They are all kinds of people. I'm familiar with 5 of them; most of the others are people who vote but don't comment much. There are 10 private profiles. Of the 23 public, none joined in 2014; 12 have been users since 2010-2012. Of the other
11, almost all joined in early-to-mid 2013. Some have created 0 polls, but some have made 31, 68, 85, 95, 98, 183. Only 2 have under 1000 votes ( both joined 12/13). The others have well over multiple thousands, up to 13408.
I know Susan but i was hoping to see someone very popular like yourself who everyone knows. At least one. And while it is good news for them it almost doesn't seem fair that someone who joined 2 weeks ago wins while some have been here since 2011 jmo
I think it just demonstrates how many users there are. We all see the many votes on the Results page, & draw some of our conclusions from the demographic breakdowns (if we bother to look at that page), & all those people are SOH users.
The only requirement to win was to *vote,* and all these users vote. The "very popular" users are a tiny handful among the thousands of users; it was unlikely many that you know would be randomly picked. There was nothing unfair about it.
And nobody won who joined 2 weeks ago - only 2 of them (with public profiles anyway) joined within the last 2 months. Half of those with public profiles have been users since at least 2012. Most of them have cast thousands of votes.
Yes, I thought it was very generous of him. There were a LOT of commercials! I was standing outdoors (freezing) close to the tv a good part of the day, not watching the game, & my phone was dead. But every time a commercial came on,
I was wearing jeans, a turtleneck, a light jacket, a heavier jacket, a nautical rainsuit (bright yellow overalls & jacket), a knit cap, an Elmer Fudd hat (part of the day), a scarf, and mittens. I may or may not have left the frog pjs on underneath.
thanks Susan! nicely said. what this reiterates is that SOH is still composed mostly of people who just silently vote. us more vocal users easily forget that, but I have to constantly remind myself of it when designing new features
You *did* add a smiley face after your "complaint," cc, so I, at least, didn't take it seriously. I just got interested in what the set of winners might look like, so I poked around a bit, just for fun.
Thanks for the contest, Tony. I probably would have fallen off of my chair and busted my hip to smithereens if I had won anything so it is probably for the best that I didn't, Congrats to the winners!
Most of the winners I've never heard of, sadness. I enjoy commenting more than voting, hell much of the time I don't even check poll results, just vote and go straight to comments
Congratulations to all of the winners. The fact that many of them had zero followers serves as a great reminder that there are a large number of members who aren't entirely active, but they are still very much a part of this community as myself or
any other user.
As sort of an official congratulations from me personally, I followed all of those on the list that I wasn't previously. Just a reminder to all of those who did win - don't forget to email info@showofhands.mobi tell
telling* Tony your screen name, year of birth, and zip code (so he can validate you are who you say you are). Also, tell him the email address you’d like the gift card delivered to. He'll get them sent out ASAP. You have until Friday at midnight PST.
I'm well aware, Tom. ;)
I went through and manually followed them once the list was released... That's what I meant. I didn't expect anyone else to follow them.
Everyone who entered had an equal opportunity. I started with nothing, and I ended with nothing. I am not at a loss, and I didn't expect to win.
Thanks, Xerces. :)
Awe, haha... I don't think it's anything special, at all. Thank you, regardless. I look at it as a friendly gesture, congratulations, and an invitation to get more involved.
