Hey all.

January 29th marks one year of me being on the discourse.
It's become my second family as of late, I've met some amazin and cool people on here. I've learnt so much while being on here and now I want to give something back to the community as my way of saying thank you

The Contest

It's a pretty simple contest. I've randomly selected one card. All you have to do is guess what the card is

52 cards, 52 possibilities.
Only one guess per person.
I'll give you a clue to start you off, there's no joker.

"What if you change the card, how will we know?"
Fear not, I've randomly chosen a card using random.org, taken a screenshot and forwarded the results on to Mr Don Boyer. That way, there's no way of me cheating any of you (not that I ever intended too)

"What if more than one person guesses correctly?"
I will take away all the correctly guessed winners and randomly select one using random.org

"What if no one guesses correctly?"
If no one guesses correctly, I'll choose another card. I'll check it against the answers, and again, if there's more than one, my friend random.org will decide

"Will you be shipping anywhere?"
Correct!! No matter where you are in the world, I'll be sending these out to you. Even if you're in Australia

The Prize

I like to think that the prize is a pretty sweet prize to give away.
I'm giving away a sealed S&M deluxe edition box set also referred to as the V7 boxset.
http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/smoke-and-mirrors-v7/250/

Contest ends January 29th at 23:59 GMT. Any answers after this will not be accepted.

Best of luck and have fun

Well, I ain't ever going to buy S&M cards, so if any of them make their way into my collection, I suppose this is it.

4 of spades.

Edit: I realized 5 of spades have already been taken.

I choose 3 of diamonds instead.

Queen of Hearts!

GBAllison · « **Reply #36 on:** January 22, 2014, 08:35:13 PM »

So far: most popular is diamonds; clubs are least favorite, the majors are practically tied.
Only one each of 10s and kings.
Semi-interestingly, 4 people chose Jacks, but not one of each suit. Same with the 2s.
Only one of the one-eyed Jacks is chosen. The one-eyed king is taken (KoD, Man With An Axe). But look!
The suicide king hasn't been chosen yet, and since 'random' gives an equal chance to every card--famous or obscure ...

I'm guessing the King of Hearts.

MrMollusk · « **Reply #39 on:** January 22, 2014, 09:49:46 PM »

Awesome contest! Thanks!

I was gonna guess Penn and Teller's card (3 clubs), but that was taken. So, I shuffled a deck, and the one on top was the Queen of Diamonds. Good enough for me!

Super cool way of honoring your first year! But what if Mr. Boyer wants a stab at it?

Hmm... Why use Random.org when you could simply pick up a pack of cards and shuffle it?

I'm glad everyone is loving this so far

I would have loved to have Mr Boyer enter but he suggested I send him the screenshots. I might send him a little something as a thank you. What do you give a man who has everything he already wants? Lol

I'm not going to guess as I don't think a retailer should win this, but - this is really generous of you, and a really nice idea. Yes - i'm going to steal the guess a card from the 52 for our next promo!

Good luck, and fair play to you Nurul.

I can't because the card was pre-drawn before the contest and I have a copy of the results in order to leave no doubt that the drawing was honest. In simpler terms, I already know the winning card! So that's how I could not venture a guess - it wouldn't actually be a GUESS, so to speak...

Thanks everyone for participating

unfortunately no one got the original card right. There were so many close guesses, the card was 7 of Spades.
I'll do another random card..

And it's 8 of diamonds. We have one correct guess. Congratulations DarkDerp. PM me with your address and I'll send your prize to you.

Again, thank you to everyone
