This is a great idea! I have a question, is this for any card related contest, or just bigger ones hosted by bigger companies? Could there be some youtube contests mentionned here or not?

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
Simonart - I know we have an international, multilingual user base here at the Discourse, but the majority of the people here are probably American - meaning they might be confused at your use of numeric European dating conventions.  It gets particularly confusing on dates that are equal to or less than 12 - for example, for Americans, the Independence Day holiday (July 4th) this year would be 7/4/12, which you would write 4/7/12.  With no clues to know which number you're using as the date and the month, an American would read 4/7/12 as April 7th, 2012, and assume you're simply living in the recent past...  :))

I usually use European-style dates in my KS report every week, but I tweak it for better understanding by Americans by writing out the month or at least an abbreviation of it.  For example: since it's after midnight where I am, it's now Sun 24 June 2012.

I knew there was a difference. I had just ended writing the list, when I said to myself that this problem could occur. I'll change dates. And you can put in any contest if you like. Also the youtube contests.

Updated (with BlueTune competition and Andyfieldmagic). If there are any other competitions, please post on this topic. I think it could be cool to have this page filled with them. So youtube contest are also allowed.

That's pretty scary. They appeared in an instant and disappeared the next second. They are as well in my friends list, but the link to their page is unclick-able, and I can't erase or block them either.
When trying to send them a message, it says their email address is invalid. Perhaps that is the issue. I hope so.

Oh man, I wouldn't understand why they suddenly would go. Everyone loved their deck, so it has to be a technichal problem. I won't erase the competion, cause maybe they'll be back in a few hours...

Or maybe they have nothing to do with the deck. I don't know why someone who designed this deck would suddenly disappear like this.

It would have been strange if they were scammers. Where should they bave found these pics and so... And they didn't win anything if it was a scam. Still glad they're back and these will be for sale.
