Contest Time Again

My good friend Jeff Buzz, just recently won our Itunes Giveaway and i remeber that as soon as entries were closed for that contest, more people wanted to take part.

Well i say, lets give the people what they want.

So here is our new contest.

To make it a bit more open it’s all about the points.

On May 16th we are officially launching this blog and so on that day the person with the most points wins…….(Drumroll please)

First Place Gets

  1. 2000 EC CREDITS
  2. $100.00 BY PAYPAL

Second Place gets

  1. 1000 EC CREDITS
  2. $50.OO BY PAYPAL

Third Place gets

  1. 500 EC CREDITS

Now, how do you earn points might you ask?

Well it’s simple.

  1. 200 points for posting a commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles
  2. 100 points for posting a commuter experience or review of commuter chronicles oh your blog with a link back to here
  3. 100 points for a second post on this site about a commuter experience (two post maximum will be counted)
  4. 100 points if your post on here crosses 20 comments
  5. 50 points for a second post on your blog
  6. 40 points for a blogroll link (drop me a comment on this post to let me know you added me to your roll)
  7. 30 points for each time you make 10 comments on this site (and 1 point for each comment – in other words you get 1 point each time you comment and an extra 30 point at each 10 comment interval)
  8. 20 points for subscribing to the rss feed
  9. 2 points each time you drop a card on the blog.

So there it is.

I have tried to do it in a way that even those who don’t post on my blog have a fighting chance.

Again on May 16th i will annouce the winner. All past winner can still take part.

Good luck

p.s. if you want to sponsor and add more prizes feel free to contact me. :)

sorry to be a bit ignorant but is this contest limited only US citizens. And to write about the commuter experience, can I write about commuters in different places for example the tube in London or the Metro in Moscow?

Hey Peanut, welcome, and the contest (as a matter of fact the entire site) is international. As long as you have any commuting experience, be it the drive on the way to work, the tube, riding your bike through Amsterdam, or climbing Mt Everest.
Just as long as it’s about moving from one point to another.

I want to make a post on my commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles but I do not know where to submit it.

Oh, I already found where.. Sorry…

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.18.08 at 7:51 am

I have done my first post here (200 points) and it already has reached 20 comments (100 points).

I have also added Commuter Chronicles in my blogroll (40 points) and subcribed (20 points).

…I have 7 comments including this one. (1 point each). Hopefully, I can have 10 comments to earn additional points.

And, oh… I dropped an entrecard but I do not know how many. Can you check how many entrecards have I dropped here?

So, overall, I have 367 points! :)

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.23.08 at 4:18 am

and an additional 100 points for my second post here! a total of 467 points. If get 20 comments, do I also earn 100 points? :)

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.26.08 at 7:20 am

Oh, also reached 10 comments… hmmm…

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.26.08 at 7:26 am

good going pweng, yes you do get the extra points for the comments

posted by raymondm on 04.26.08 at 11:16 am

I am confused. I want to ask something regarding the options to gain points for this contest.

It is said that I can post a commuter experience OR review of Commuter Chronicles on my blog and a second post on my blog. Hmm…I can just make two posts or, one post per blog? What if I make a post on a commuter experience and another on a review? Does this earn me more points?

I am also confused which post will reach 20 comments will earn additional points.

And oh, can you check how many times have I dropped a card on your blog? I just want to clear thing up so that I can gain more points because I really want to win this contest.
Thanks!

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.30.08 at 7:52 am

Also, I would like to know how many points have I made… based on your calculations. Thanks!

posted by Pweng Bee on 04.30.08 at 8:14 am

ok pweng bee, let me see how well i can cover all your questions.
on your blog you can make as many posts or reviews as you choose but i only count two of each (one experience and one review for the 100 points each and one experience and one review at 50 points for the second post) the other posts as long as they have links back to my site, should give you trackbacks/pingbacks that will show up on my site and count as a comment for you. Also it might just halp with getting more of your visitors on your site to come comment here on your posts.

you make the extra points for each group of 10 comments. So if you reach 10 comments you get the points, when you get to 20 comments you get more and it goes on.

and i have will check on your drops for you.

posted by raymondm on 04.30.08 at 12:39 pm

Okay. Now ,I get it but I will read this again later for further under understanding. Thanks raymondm!

wow.. that is a lot of points that i need to keep up to if i’m still interested in winning.. Lol.. anyway.. good luck!

now, lets see.. i think im the only one here that’s so eager to win this contest… hahah… well, at least i got the chance to be one of the contributors of this site.

posted by Pweng Bee on 05.05.08 at 10:57 am

Well it’s a toss up between Pweng Bee and Peanut as the two top people so far.
I have a few people who emailed me and ask for me to extend the contest for another 2 weeks to give them more time to try to catch up.
But that’s a question that Peanut and Pweng Bee will have to answer.
If you two don’t mind adding more time for others to try to catch up with you, i’ll do it.
I want to be fair to those who have been in this since the beginning.

posted by raymondm on 05.05.08 at 12:34 pm

Hmmm… Let me see… There are also some contests I found that I was too late to join… especially for contests like these. But, if Peanut will not mind, I won’t either.

posted by Pweng Bee on 05.06.08 at 2:05 am

As long as they can catch up with us… (that i hope they will not, i am sorry to say this but I think there’s no more time)

posted by Pweng Bee on 05.06.08 at 2:07 am

My vote is for Pweng Bee to win it. I’ve just had too many updates for every…single…comment made by Pweng Bee. I know these are the rules to earn more points, but this will teach me not to subscribe to posts with this requirement.

I do wish you all luck though! ;)

posted by Mark on 05.06.08 at 2:15 am

RaymondM? I have added Commuter Chronicles again in one of my rolls. Does this count too? Thanks! -(feed the virus)

raymondm,

I don’t really mind actually.. it is just for fun =)

posted by peanut on 05.06.08 at 9:41 am

Ok, so here is what i am going to do.
i am extending the contest until June 11th, which is my birthday BTW, and everyone will get more time to enter.
As an incentive to Pweng Bee and Peanut, they will now get an extra way to earn points.
I will give 50 points for each person that you refer to make a “post” on this site.
So what that means is simply that if you tell someone about the contest/site and they come and post an experience on here, then you get 50 points because they posted. You just need to let them know that at the end of their post they have to say that they were referred to here by you.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:25 pm

The latest posts are mostly stated that is it referred by Riyanne.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:27 pm

I cannot imagine that all those posts are approved for publishing here at COMMUTER CHRONICLES at the same day. If you noticed, this blog is updated at least every other day. Why is it that posts from her referrals are approved all at once even she is not eligible for making that kind of entry? I really smell something fishy here.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:37 pm

I was given a privilege to make additional points but I did not refer anyone. Riyanne just joined this month. I agreed to extend this contest as long as everyone follow the rules.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:39 pm

Riyanne is like a computer virus or a spam in your mailbox…

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:41 pm

I hope Raymond will look on this or else I will investigate further…

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:44 pm

Her blog will be a month old this Saturday…. compared to my blogs, I have been blogging for 4 months… I think she just started to blog because of this contest.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:49 pm

her blog has no pr too

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:50 pm

I am just concerned for the blog’s reputation and for others who have waited so long for this contest to end… and to others who made unlawful ways to make entries… Everyone should be treated fairly.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:53 pm

Please Raymond, I am really confused and disappointed that you allowed such things to happen. Of course, I want to hear your story… and don’t forget to send me a copy of my points so that I can check it with my list.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:56 pm

it is your responsibility as the blog owner to monitor the participants of this contest especially their entries and if they follow the contest rules.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 4:58 pm

i have patiently waited for this contest to end and i hope it will end peacefully without any disputes or misunderstandings.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 5:01 pm

I don’t care anymore if I win this contest or not, as long justice will be served and all my questions are answered…

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 5:02 pm

I also noticed that comments on Riyanne’s posts or referred posts are mostly done by her. Not a very good tactic.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 5:11 pm

My posts here have unique commentators coming from all over, not just by myself.

posted by Pweng Bee on 06.11.08 at 5:15 pm

I hope the winners of this contest are really deserving to win.
