Karma; I am offering a free tank

sable · 04-30-2008, 01:25 PM

Id like to introduce this game to MCB, we play it on another message board for Nissan Titans, and the stakes are much higher trading truck parts. It’s called KARMA, here’s how it’s played.

I offer up something paintball related; in this case a like new 20oz co2 tank. First 20 people that respond to this thread (or 3 days, what ever one is sooner) gets their name in the hat; after that ill pull a name from there and they will be the winner. Now only respond to this if you have something else to offer up. That’s part of the game, you get something for free then you offer up something paintball related for free to the MCB community, and it keeps going on from there. SO if you respond have something in mind, and not like something lame.

Now on that Nissan Titan board this has had great success for a long time. Some parts are being offered run around $200 on down. But the game over there has brought the community closer together, and has earned the trust and friendships of others. So I was wondering if the same can be had here.

when making a karma game post, (after you have won something from the karma game, then its yeur turn to post up a free item for the game) be sure to put **KARMA** in yeur title so we all know waht it is. then C/P this intro into yeur post and replace my item and winner names with yeur own. its easy and it should catch on quick. i hope this helps someone out. its like pay it forward games, but with a twist. (someone actually wins the item) (one person can win over and over, its all about chance. but be fair and let everyone have a chance to enter. theres only 20 spots.)

Like I said the moral of the game is to offer up something to someone that needs it and return the favor to others. I’m sure this will be meet with speculation at first but give it a chance. Mods I didn’t see anything about something like this in the COC, so if im out of line take me out back and smack me around.

Time limit ran out! NOXX55 won!

That's fairly similar to our Pay it forward thread here.
