So what rules are there? None! You can vote for whichever deck you want each day, hassle free. You can promote the deck you want to win to your friends so it can come out on top.

You don't need to leave a comment/critique backing up your vote....

Unless you want to be eligible to win some swag motherfuckin' prizes...dawg

Prizes are selected from the following each day:

- Custom Title
- Custom Badge
- Stickied thread in Lolaq for 1 week
- Your safe for work slogan of choice displayed on the banner for 1 week
- Custom-made forum signature
- You get to choose the next Deck Battle match-up
- +15 to reputation
- +50 to reputation
- Your photo is added to the list of celebrity avatars available for selection in the profile
- Prank-A-Buddy! A person of your choosing from your buddy list will have their display name and personal text changed to whatever you want (rated PG)


The winner of the prize will be selected randomly from the list of non-spam replies to each poll.*

BUT DUDES, how will you stop people from rigging votes, if no replies are required to have a vote count?

Well we have every voting IP and username logged, and while we can't know who voted for what, we can know who voted more than once using devious methods.

Also, large scale rigging is fairly obvious. If we get 20 replies per poll each day for a month, and then suddenly we have 300 votes, it's pretty obvious someone rigged things.

You can check back every 24-48 hours for a new battle.

*Claim within 14 days

So, the winner is chosen randomly from ALL voters who said something more than "X-Brand ftw," right?  That means winning- and losing-deck votes?

Yep, doesn't matter if your vote is for the winner, as long as you post your comment backing up your vote, you're entered to win.

I was in touch with John yesterday and he mentioned many comment winners haven't claimed their prizes.  He's considering setting a deadline for making claims, so get off your lazy butts, you winners!  :))

EDIT: I just read the fine print John added to the first post - the limit is FOURTEEN DAYS!  He made the edit 9:20 Tuesday morning Eastern (13:20 UTC), so in order to not cut off prior winners who didn't know, anyone who won prior to that date will have until that time on April 16th to make your claims.
