Details:

Get your fingers ready folks for a new MFK Exclusive Contest. POST-A-PALOOZA is the name, absolute nonsense is the game. Here are the rules:

Members must be online and ready to post at the time of the contest. On the start date/time, a thread entitled POST-A-PALOOZA: LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!!! will be opened. Members will be allowed to post according to the contest criteria listed below. A post number will be determined by adding all of the numbers up for the MegaMillions Lottery drawing for the Friday after the contest date/time (For example, if the MegaMillions numbers are 7, 14, 24, 41, 56 with Megaball 7, the winning post number will be 149).The member who has their message in the numbered post wins the prize. It's as simple as that!!!

Members will have to post legible 5 word sentences at the rate of one sentence per post. From there, the posts will be reviewed by MFK staff and pruned as necessary. No repeats will be allowed. If two or more members post the same message, the first one will be taken and the repeat posts deleted. Subject matter can be anything fish related i.e. "I have a monster fish" or "My fish eats shrimp pellets". Profanity, however, will not be tolerated and members in violation will be disqualified. Once the review has been completed, the posts will be organized in numerical order in preparation for the MegaMillions Lottery drawing. Once the drawing occurs, the numbers will be added up and a winning post number will be announced along with the winner.


The contest will occur on MONDAY,DECEMBER 11, 2006 at 9:00PM EST.

The MegaMillions drawing used will be on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2006.



The thread will be open for either a full 24 hours (until 9PM EST Tuesday, December 12, 2006) or until the 362nd post is reached (highest possible MegaMillions number combination);whichever comes first. Remember, the number of chances you get is determined by how fast your fingers are. Get your imaginations ready!!! Be creative!!! Start those finger exercises up now and get ready to type until your fingers bleed!!!!

Almost! Get ready guys!

I think it has to be 5 words, not 5 or more. Why would you even want to post more than 5 words? It only takes more time to post.

exactly five words takes much more time than going over five words imo :)
