Default Member of the Month - January 2010

Member of the Month of January 2010 :Misjief!

First I would like to thank all members who were active this month. After all its not only one person that makes up this site but all of us. Thus said, there are still some of those individuals who make a big difference and which make it THAT MUCH more fun to be here...

Congratulations Misjief!
PRIZE: The prize awarded for this month is a choice between some really cool products, respect, and a neat award that will accompany you for the rest of your LIFE!

Please private message me and let me know what you would like, you can choose from any one of the items listed below:
  • Tally-Ho deck of cards
  • Silk
  • Invisible deck with DVD
  • Triumph deck with DVD
  • Disappearing Card - 2 card monte with gimmick
  • 30 Tricks & Tips with Magic Spongeballs (includes 3 red spongeballs)
  • Packet Killer with cards
  • $10 ExoMagic - Learn / Teach / Evolve gift certificate

Click to enlarge:


Misjief has been here and has shown his support time in and time out. He has done quite a bit since he came on board. He's started and shared a number of ideas on gimmick construction, created the Magic Principles thread which we are working to expound upon, and has been very helpful with advice in the field and has been an overall nice guy (member) to those on the forum, and in tinychat.. We have spotted him assisting users and just being part of what makes ExoMagic us. So post a response in this thread, congradulate him, and have some fun!

Thus said we have decided Misjief is the MOM of March.

What is this Member of the Month thing?!?

Abstract :
There will now be a MEMBER OF THE MONTH PRIZE draw, everyone is as a regular member is admissible. The prize will be an award icon and in some cases tangible prizes. Members Alex Hess and Brandon are in charge of the development of this contest. All members of ExoMagic.com are defacto participating in this contest. The Member of the Month (A.K.A : MOM) will be selected through participation on ExoMagic.com.

To make things clearer here are some traits that the MOM could have :
  • Good forum participation
    Pertinent posts (Example : A user who thought of a great thread)
    Publication of Articles
    Quality of the Articles
    Publication of Reviews
    Quality of the Reviews
    Publication of Academy videos
    Quality of Academy videos/reviews
    Answers other member's requests
    Shares his knowledge of magic to the community
The MOM will not necessarily be the most active member however. The MOM will be randomly selected among those who were considered by the contest administrators (Lyle & Alex) to be the most qualified in the past month.

By this prize we wish to thank the communities most active members and encourage everyone to participate actively on the forum. Mc Donald's has an employee of the month but ExoMagic's Member of the Month is far less CHEESY (Wow! That was a double layered joke... think about it.)

All in all, we want to thank all members for their participation.
We wish you a good month!


More about the Member of the Month :

Exo, Dotti, USAnarchy, and Mindslur had an online meeting and brainstormed about a different amelioration that could be added to make the site more appealing. Being an intricate motivator towards user participation we decided to begin a MEMBER OF THE MONTH PRIZE! and thus we discussed about various possible prizes that could be given out.

Many very good ideas came out as we discussed, some of which might be included in the future prizes. We wanted good prizes that members would enjoy having. Also, we wanted to ensure the prize's shipping cost to a minimum while having a maximum of value for its size and weight. Among other ideas we thought of : gimmicked cards, invisible thread, card decks, rubber deck pull-hookups, wrap-it up bubble gum trick by Jay Sankey, gimmicked coins (Ex : bite-out coins), stand up monte, color monte, ultimate monte, svengali deck, stripper deck...

Our choice ended on a deck of Tally-ho cards because not everyone has a deck like this: it's design is neat and they are very good cards for card manipulations. This prize is of course pending on the particular months budget. Please review the titling prize information to see exactly what is applicable. Prizes are tentative and may alter during times.

Great Job Misj! *slap on the ass* I'm proud of you.

BTW - I can help you pick out the prize. Ohhh, and I'll make sure to give Alex the right address to send the prize to if you need any help.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

Score!

I'm a mom? I am prego? When did that happen? Isn't there an um... 'event' that has to occur for one to become a mom? Time for some mental review! Lets see... there was that one time....


First off I'd like to thank all the little people in my life. *Sniff* Thanks Mom! Thanks to my little fuzzy assistants 'Bash and Scooter' even if they ran away and didn't help me put out the curtains I started on fire with the 'burning bible".

No seriously I had a lot of fun... And this place has been a source of therapy of me to take my mind off of all the things going south lately. Thanks! What a great way to start off a new and magical year*... I hope and trust all of you will all continue to be part of it here at exomagic!

*"I think it is the Chinese year of the Ass - so I am a perfect fit....What do you mean the Chinese don't have an ass? What do they sit on? You are not making sense!"

That said a special thanks goes out to Seeker, Sammy, Mofo and Alex. You light up my life... LOL

Also I'd like to say a big wahoo on behalf of Lyndsi and Drake Eastburn at the Eastburn Institute of Hypnosis who never knew what uses I'd put their teachings to. LOL

BTW Alex... I was kidding when after you brought it up I asked if I won it ... Can I have my twenty back?

The AWARD WINNING...

Haha,

When I read that I was like "oh crap... how did he know he won already?". Because last night we made the decision :p.

We received quite a bit of votes in, so this wasn't an unanimous staff decision, this was a community decision.

Great job, glad to have you aboard.

Anyone else who didn't win?... Beat Misjief up, and maybe you'll win next month :p
Accepting VOTES NOW! For February Member of the Month: http://www.exomagic.com/forum/recomm...php?award_id=1

P.S. - Don't forget to private message me with your address and choice in prize.
