WCG Recruitment ideas?? - Page 2

El Fiendo · Jun 9, 2009, 09:02 PM

Yea, just once you get to that number you have your name dropped in a hat. Weeds out people who just sign up last day attempting to get their name on a list without the points requirement.

Yes. That may not seem entirely fair. However, this is about recruiting new members. Most of us who are dedicated to the cause will be included, but most of us already crunch for greater reasons than a prize. The prize will help new members to come, and hopefully they will stay for greater reasons.

Mindweaver · Jun 9, 2009, 09:09 PM

I do like prizes.. but what if we exclude the over all pie members? I don't know how the other 9 members in pie feel, but the fact that I get pie is enough prize for me.. Don't get me wrong don't exclude the daily pie receivers that don't have over all pie.

I do like the concept Paulieg great idea!

I think people should be able to choose if they're eligible or not (meeting the point requirement not available to choice lol). I mean the people in the top 10 are also donating massive amounts of electricity so they might like a prize to show a little extra recognition. But, either way it'll do good to bring in people.

Good deal. You should open a paypal account so people can help donate to the "prize." I have access to my moms, she won't mind donating a few bucks

Any ideas on a prize yet? Hard to give away mobo/RAM/CPU as if its DDR3, DDR2 people can't use, mobo = too specific to ones current equipment. Maybe a newegg giftcard? PSU? HDD?

I'm working on a couple of donations now. What I may ask for is donations to help cover shipping, since one of the potential donations will be heavy. This will also need to be USA only due to the shipping costs. What I need to know, is who would be willing to donate a few bucks to help out with some shipping costs!!

El Fiendo · Jun 9, 2009, 09:56 PM

Well, if I win (in Canada) I'd gladly pay shipping for a free whatever. On any of the prizes. As long as you aren't shipping me an elephant. The prize isn't an elephant is it Paulie?

Bundy · Jun 9, 2009, 10:06 PM

It's a car of course!

If freighting the prize is not worth it, I guess the prize could be donated back to TPU for another contest.

Guessing its a case!

I'll chip in a couple of bucks.

Assassin48 · Jun 9, 2009, 10:11 PM

We can make a contest each week who ever has a personal best gets there name shown on the front page for a week and so on

I would gladly help out except my 4870x2 dont do well in folding as i been reading

for prizes it could be games, software, maybe a video card or something ?

we shouldn't really be giving prizes because you should feel good about giving back

It's not folding, it's crunching and cpu bound. Of course it should be for giving back, but some people need some encouragement.

I think this raffle is a go. I'll be working on getting it posted as a news story, and I need to hear from those of you willing to chip in a few dollars for shipping. For those in the the top 10, I'd like a vote on whether or not the "power crunchers" should be included in the raffle. Since I moderate, I will take myself out.

Baleful · Jun 9, 2009, 11:17 PM

Paulie, we did a WCG contest a few weeks back, which failed ultimately lol. However, if you need any help/tips/advice whatever feel free to shoot me a PM.

Duxx has pledged a couple of bucks, and so will I. Anyone else? I already think I have a prize donor. I'm going to contact the news staff about this, and hopefully in the next couple of days we can get some buzz going, and have the competition going within the week.

HammerON · Jun 10, 2009, 12:35 AM

I wouldn't mind contributing some cash for shipping or for a prize ~
Just let me know how and when to donate!

be sure and let me know BEFORE MONDAY. I leave for vacation on monday to Peru and I most likely won't have internet for 3-4 weeks. (definitely not transferring money from some internet cafe down there...

)

BUCK NASTY · Jun 10, 2009, 12:56 AM

Great ideas here guys! I will use this recruitment program as a model for the Folding Team! I may be able to scrape up a little cash and/or hardware to help.

sneekypeet · Jun 10, 2009, 01:13 AM

I really think paulie should get some cookies made up and ready to ship

I'm sure you guys will do great. Ours never took off because of bad implementation. Did it at the wrong time and in the wrong way.

Good luck to yah

Paulieg · Jun 10, 2009, 03:11 AM

Anyone wanna know what the prize will be, or should we keep it a secret until the news posting? LOL It's a good one....

http://www.xclio.com/products/case-x...00.htm#details

Thanks to a very generous donor...

bogmali · Jun 10, 2009, 03:56 AM

NICE PRICE

.....As one of the "top-ten" crunchers, I'll be the first to eliminate myself from contention

Paulieg · Jun 10, 2009, 03:59 AM

As soon as we can get a news post done on this, we'll open up the contest. I'm hoping this will happen in the next couple of days.

Mindweaver · Jun 10, 2009, 04:00 AM

Very nice prize! Paulieg!

It's good to see the leaders give new members and under performing members a better shot at this prize. Night all. More details on the contest to come tomorrow.
