Skill Rings! [Giveaway] [1.12 SC RWM/RRM]

[RibGriller]

'Lo there, this should be fun. This giveaway is intended for people who do NOT have a skill ring yet, or have 'only' one. There is 4x Soj, and 2x BKWB in this giveaway!

Rules:
1) You must have at least 100 posts.
2) Tell me your plans for the next couple builds (or current) that will use it.
3) Pick a number between 1 and 500.
4) Post how many Soj's you have. :)
5) The four that are closest to my number, will get a SoJ. The next closest two will get a BKWB. (If you'd rather have a BKWB, lmk)
6) If there are any left, I'll consider people that already have 2x skill rings.
7) Post here by Monday @12 noon (MST) == 7 PM GMT to be considered.
8) First person who can answer these questions, gets to pick two numbers (to increase their odds of getting one ring):

a) A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says...
b) What did the rug say to the carpet?
c) What's big, red, and loves to eat rocks?

I'll PM my number to the Mods, so there are no discrepencies. :smug: Without further ado:

Let's keep it on topic folks :nono:

[Smips]

I started a hammerdin who will be using my only one(he's level 19) and I want to start a Lit sorc. Since i don't have godly items for her, I need all the +skills I need.
As I said, I have 1 SoJ and no BKWB.

I pick....379.

My guesses to the riddles:
a) "Why the long face?"
b) "I've got you covered."
c) A volcano.

I think I've heard them before...:whistling:

Edit: Forgot to mention. If I win anything, I will take a BKWB over SoJ because I don't have one yet.

[Simbacca]

I have zero skill rings: no SoJs, no BKWBs.

I'm just got back to D2 after a four year hiatus about a month ago. I play single player now and am starting from scratch.

Right now I'm working on a Shockalot Paladin (Telsadin, whatever) and a Sorceress (not sure if I will do Meteorb or Blizzard). After that I know I want to build a Fishymancer as well as a Bone-spells Necro. Eventually, I know I'd like to build something in each class.

I would first use the SoJ on my Sorceress, but she's not the only one. I'm sure I would use a BKWB on my Paladin, and definitely on future planned melee builds. No matter which, it would make its way around many of my future builds for a long time to come (though I feel I need a SoJ a little more for my builds than a BKWB). That is of course unless I get some freakish MFing luck and end up with a SoJ/BKWB surplus, which I highly doubt as I have quite a bit less time to play D2 each week compared to the dedicated MFers here (some many builds I want to try, so little time...)

I would pay the kindness forward and giveaway the SoJ/BKWB when I'm done with it or find enough of my own. It is the same with all items I have been generously given; I keep track of them in a seperate stash. Of course I would give it back if you ever needed it back as well.

I pick... 497.

I have no guesses for the second pick riddles other than what Smips already beat me too.

[1.12a RWM/RRM SC NTPP]

[Rummski]

I have 1 SoJ and no Bul-Kathos (I would prefer the Bul-Kathos)

It would go on my Frenzy Barb to increase his Leech and Life. From there I am thinking of starting a Whirly Barb (I like clicking :)) and it would treat him right as well.

I pick 187 - because it will hopefully help me kill more monsters :)

A: "Did a horse seriously just walk into my bar?"
B: "Hey, get off of my floor!"
C: Diablo (At least when a MeteOrber is around)

Thanks for the giveaway(s)!

[RibGriller]

Haha, good answers. Smips got two, except for

c) Big-Red-Rockeater

I had a few beers when I posted the questions. :p

If there are no more takers, you get two each.

[Derivial]

I have zero skill rings so will most likely pass the ring around like the town w. . . . . anyway, i'll guess 250. Also, excellent third joke.

[Simbacca]

oh I hope I get a SoJ, especially now that I realize what a low probability I gave myself with that pick! :crazyeyes:

[RibGriller]

Hey Derivial, could you elaborate a little more on what goes on in Derivial's D2 World for me?

Simbacca, it looks like you'll be fine. I think a Mod having to post here scared people off.

[bassen]

rwm rrm sc fts 1.12a

I RG. I wonder if I may participate for a SoJ. I do have 2 skill rings already, a SoJ and a BKWB. However I prefer haveing two SoJ's (since I have noticd my spellcasters really need the extra mana). However my prpoposal is that I giveaway (for freeof course) my BKWB if I win a SoJ.

I wont take a number until I get your confirmation.

/Bassen


Edit: That would mena that the 7th correct closest guessed number hre would get it.

Edit2: Thanks. The number I'm choosing is 135

[RibGriller]

Yeah, that'll work Bassen. Pick a number, and we'll see what happens.

[Thyiad]

People posting in giveaways still need to use trade tags to confirm they can accept the version offered and are not playing 1.11b.

Please ensure you do that. Thanks.

[Smips]

I'm [1.12a RRM/RWM SC NTTP].
Sorry Thy!

[Derivial]

[1.12a RRM/RWM SC FTS]

Very well RibGriller. For now, it would most likely go to finishing off a Fishymancer who will then be running the Pits. It would also find use on my currently clvl 29 Fishyzon. I also plan on starting a Hammerdin someday soon and he would very much appreciate a SoJ. I imagine it will be used by pretty much every character I make for the rest of my D2 life at one point or another.

[RibGriller]

There's 1 hour 25 min to get in on the sweepstakes.

[bassen]

rwm rrm sc fts 1.12a

seems like to few have shown their interest in this giveaway (wierd IMO) and most of those who have, want's the BKWB's instead. Which is good for both them and me:thumbup: cause as promised if I get a SoJ I'll be giving away my BKWB the 7th number ;)

Edit: It's over now :)

[RibGriller]

Very odd indeed. I think people are getting fed up with all the giveaways, or they're all numb to its effects. I'll make my next giveaway very very fast.

30 min left

[scottee]

Holy cow- are there even enough people signed up for all the skill rings?

If not, I'll sign myself up- even though I already have 2 SoJs and BKWB- just cause that would be silly, to not have enough takers for a frickin SoJ Giveaway!

Of course, if there are enough people signed up, ignore me ;)

[RRM/RWM 1.12a SC]

Oh, and I would choose... 123

Oh, and Edit: I guess I'd use it for my up-and-coming nova sorc, when I actually get through with the other 4 characters that I'm playing right now. She's definitely next on the list after that.

[Zefru]

17 posts short.... and I wasn't going to post non-sense to get there but I thought about it. :) Good luck to all involved.

sorry for the OT.

[road to elysium]

If it's not done already, I'm in! :whistling:

77
0 skills rings atm.
[1.12 SC RWM/RRM]

Will be going onto a tesladin ;)

[bassen]

The Giveaway aended 3 h ago. sorry

[road to elysium]

Oh well, no biggie ;)

[RibGriller]

Sorry everyone, I had to leave before it ended. The number I picked is 498. I'll post the results when I get home.

Edit: Gratz ppl!

1) Simbacca, very nice guess!
2) Smips, BKWB as requested
3) Derivial, Soj
4) Rummski, Soj
5) Bassen, you made it to a Soj, thanks to Smips asking for a BKWB. ;)
6) Scottee, BKWB

Go ahead and post or PM me your addys, and we'll finish this thing off. I really thought it was going to be a little more competitive, but I'm happy for you folks. :)

Edit2: Sorry Zefru, in hindsight, I should've had less restrictions.

[Simbacca]

I won I won, yeah :D. Lol, I believe I picked 497 because I figured "1 through 500 is an unusual range, his pick must necessitate the max of 500", so um, there you go. Well unlike most everyone else, I prefer a SoJ, and it looks like that's what I'll get. I am very happy, you made my day. I posted my email and trade tags in my original post, but here it is again: Simbacca82 at yahoo dot com. [1.12a RWM/RRM SC NTPP]

Thanks again RG!

[Rummski]

If Scotee would rather have a SOJ, I'd rather have the BK, but I'm happy either way! Thanks for the giveaway!

No worries RG, the 100 post rule is a good one and I think it should be used more often. Participation is the key to a good community and we've got a great one here. Besides, it all worked out in the end. :)

[scottee]

Um, honestly, if you want to give my ring to zefru I don't mind. If I get a ring I may end up just trading it away in any case, after I get over the fun-factor of having so many skill rings.

If you're set on giving me one, my email is frid_harry7 at msn dot com.

These giveaways are teh awesome, and you're a prime example of what makes this community so cool, RG!

Thanks Scottee but I was already fortunate enough to have someone "Pay it forward" so to speak. (See giveaway post in the forum) :)

I'm sending out stashes atm. Please post your readouts when you get em. Thanks guys. :thumbup:

All right, I tried- I still can't believe how little traffic this thing got!
