From 6 March, any person with PKMN Black or White can choose to participate in The Great PKMN Hunt 2011. The person with the most valid trades completed before our Summer of Suikoden playthrough (begins 5 June) will win a brand new, full price (up to $60 US) game of their choice from Amazon or Steam! This contest is open to Lusipurr.com staff members and guests, but all trades must be set up using the comment system.

NOTE: You must have legitimately caught the PKMN you are trading in an English copy of the game. Trading PKMN acquired from other players, other versions, or which you have cheated to obtain, will result in disqualification.

How To Play:
1 – Each week, Lusipurr will ask for a random type of PKMN. If you have a PKMN of that type from the PKMN specific to Black or White, and can trade with him to fulfill his request, post a comment on this post saying what PKMN you would like to trade him. You may only post one trade offer at a time, and only one trade offer per day; you may only trade once per day. Multiple submissions above this one-per-day rule will be deleted. For the purposes of this contest, the new day begins at 00:00 US Eastern Time.

2 – Lusipurr will attempt to trade with people for PKMN on a first-comment, first-traded basis. If that attempt fails, he will move on to the next person offering that PKMN, and so on, until the trade for that PKMN is successful. Therefore, you may use your trade offer to propose a trade which someone else is already offering, but you will only be allowed to make that trade if the previous offers fail, because…

3 – When a trade is successful, the person who made the trade will receive one point. After week three, Legendaries traded will be worth three points. Thereafter, no one can trade that PKMN to Lusipurr for the rest of that trading week. Running totals are posted at the bottom of this thread.

All participants will have their names and scores read on the Megaphones Ahoy! Podcast, and there will be a number of secondary prizes awarded, including a guest spot on the podcast, as well! Even the smallest contribution is worthwhile. Get out there and catch some PKMN!

Remember, you will need to add Lusipurr to your Pal Pad, and he will need to add you to his own, so be sure to provide your information the first time you comment. Lusipurr’s PKMN name is Lusi and his friend code is 3095 6500 7534.

From 4 July, any person who trades Lusipurr a PKMN will be entered into The Great 2010 PKMN Hunt. The person with the most trades completed before our Autumn Xenogears playthrough (in October) will win a brand new, full price (up to $60 US) game of their choice! This contest is open to Lusipurr.com staff members and guests, but all trades must be set up using the comment system.

How To Play:
1 – Lusipurr will ask for a general type of PKMN until all the base evolution, non-legendary PKMN of that type have been traded. If you can fulfill his request, post a comment on this thread saying what PKMN you would like to trade him. One trade at a time per person, please!

2 – Lusipurr will attempt to trade with people for PKMN he wants on a first-comment, first-traded basis. If that attempt fails, he will move on to the next person offering, and so on, until the trade for that PKMN is successful.

3 – When a trade is successful, the person who made the trade will receive credit for it. Thereafter, no one can trade that PKMN to Lusipurr again. Running totals will be posted every week at the bottom of the podcast thread.

All participants will have their names and scores read on the Megaphones Ahoy! Podcast, and there will be a number of secondary prizes awarded, as well! So, even the smallest contribution is worthwhile. Get out there and catch some PKMN!

Remember, you will need to add Lusipurr to your Pal Pad, and he will need to add you to his own, so be sure to provide your information the first time you comment. Lusipurr’s PKMN name is Lusi and his friend code is 3782 3146 6386.

Do you want to win a copy of Dragon Age: Origins? Of course you do! Here’s how: simply refer your friends to the site and convince them to post a substantial comment that contributes to a discussion on a review, editorial, or podcast. For each friend you refer, you’ll get one point. At the end of two weeks (28 November) the person with the most points will win. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by coin toss!

Now the stipulations: for referrals to count, your friends must post from a valid wordpress-registered account, and their comments must contribute to the discussion in a substantial way. Moreover, a person may only be referred by one individual. Attempts to gain multiple referrals illegitimately will result in disqualification. I can see your IP address, your MAC address, and your WordPress account, so if you are cheating I will know. Cheaters will be banned permanently, publicly shamed, and — need I say it — disqualified. This contest is not open to former or current Lusipurr.com staff members or their families.

The winner will choose the platform of their choice (PC, 360, PS3) and will receive a standard copy of the game by post. If the winner already owns a copy of Dragon Age: Origins, Lusipurr.com will present the winner with a Gamestop gift certificate upon presentation of a copy of the original receipt, for the amount of a standard copy of Dragon Age: Origins at that retailer.

That’s it, that’s all there is to it. Get referring and the winner will be announced in a fortnight. Good luck!
