Hi all,

My friend has started a mini competition hosting thing for wargaming, it's just warhammer 40k/fantasy/LOTR at the moment but he's planning to eventually expand to include Warmachine and Hordes. Anyway, he's just started his first competition and got everything set up but he needs entrants so he's asked me to promote it for him so:

http://wargaming-competition.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-ever-competition.html

Everything you need to know is on there. He's also got links to his twitter and facebook page that he's set up of you like the idea and want to follow it more regularly.

I've also decided to take this oppurtunity to ask what is dakka's opinion on competitions for actual prizes worth more than internet cookies?
Also, please post on here if you've entered so that we can get a good idea of where most of the entrants have come from, thanks.

Also, if this sort of thing is condemned by dakka and is not allowed then feel free to close this mods (I'm not saying I want you to, I just don't want to go wrong here).

Thanks.

So, you want to take in £25 and give out a £15 prize.

You are asking people to pay £1 for 1/25 chance to win a £15 model.

Honestly mate, the lotto people and casinos at least have the good manners to pretend to offer fair bets.

Lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.
