Contest: Enter to Win one of five $100 Amazon Gift Cards

Hello everyone.

I was going to do a "Treasure Hunt" contest this month, but I've instead decided to do something a little different because of the recent discussions on N4G that arose for the recent PewDiePie item as well as it's just a good time to do it since the new site is in full use and people have had more time to think about it and what they do or don't like.

So, here's the other half of the contest for July:

.

THE SURVEY CONTEST

This is a pretty simple contest. You must PM me, Christopher, via http://n4g.com/user/home/ch... , the responses to each of the True/False questions below. This contest is open to all users who are not employees of HAVAMedia and have an account that was open before January 1, 2016. You must provide a valid True or False answer to each question. Closing date on this contest is 11:59 pm EDT, July 31, 2016.

From the pool of acceptable responses, 5 random winners will be selected. Each winner will get a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

.

THE QUESTIONS

1. I browse N4G using a mobile device most of the time, True or False?
2. I like the new site layout/design more than the old one, True or False?
3. I come to N4G because I think it's a good place to get video game news, True or False?
4. I come to N4G to discuss video game news and interests with other N4G users, True or False?
5. If I have a problem, I know how to contact the moderators about it, True or False?
6. I would like the ability to filter out content on the front page of N4G by type of content (opinion pieces, rumors, etc.), True or False?
7. I would like the ability to filter out content on the front page of N4G from a specific source (IGN, Kotaku, etc.), True or False?
8. I think N4G should temporarily or permanently ban sites for misleading titles/content, True or False?
9. I think N4G should temporarily or permanently ban sites for clickbait titles, True or False?
10. I think N4G should allow submissions about all forms of GamerGate, both pro and anti, and similar Social Issues, True or False?
11. I think N4G should allow cursing in the comments section, True or False?
12. I think N4G should allow namecalling/personal attacks in the comments section, True or False?
13. I think N4G should allow trolling in the comments section, True or False?
14. I think N4G should restrict users less often and just focus on hiding most comments that break the Terms of Use, True or False?
15. I think answering these questions is pointless since I don't think N4G will change, True or False?

.

SOME THINGS TO NOTE

You seriously want more PM's!?

Christopher3560d ago

It was the best way to do it. :(

gangsta_red3560d ago

Create a separate account and have people send it there or better yet...give this job to Coolbeans, the lazy bum!

Christopher3560d ago

Oh, managing the PMs isn't an issue. I have some JavaScript help in that regard. Just the volume will increase immensely.

DragonKnight3560d ago

Should have just created a poll and have users comment that they participated as contest entries.

Christopher3560d ago

@DK: No, need to verify personally that people did it themselves.

I appreciate the concern, but for what I need, this is the best option. And it's not 'hard' on me, just more PMs.

-Foxtrot3560d ago

I thought we'd just send them to HAVAMedia themselves

Christopher3560d ago

HAVA didn't create this. I did. So, they would probably be a bit confused.

Deadpooled3560d ago (Edited 3560d ago )

Sent, although I made my account in March/April I've been using N4G and reading the comments on here for years.

Overload3560d ago

This is a fantastic idea. Best of luck to everyone!

oasdada3560d ago

I think pm is the best idea.. and I do think n4g can change for the better.. but 1 question is missing, from where do I see my notifications?

Overload3560d ago

Click or touch your avatar in the top right corner.

oasdada3560d ago

Yea I know that.. but how to see your old notifications? Thanx

Overload3560d ago

Repeat the sets above, go to the gear icon which is settings, you will find notifications in there.

oasdada3560d ago (Edited 3560d ago )

Thanx alot overload! p.s im not dumb im just lazy :P

Overload3560d ago

No problem. It took me a while to find it too, it's kind of hidden.

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 3560d ago
Fullmetalevolust3560d ago

I, too, have a hard time finding the notifications once the blinking icon is gone. Can't see them again and I'm not sure where to go.

Overload3560d ago

I just answered above. Hope that helps.

Fullmetalevolust3560d ago

That's a fun contest and some very pertinent questions about behaviors seen around N4G.

Capcom Says Pragmata Sold 1 Million Copies in 2 Days

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.

asad1974h ago

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

DivineHand1254h ago

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

CrimsonWing694h ago

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

LucasRuinedChildhood3h ago

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan2h ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

isarai_lee3h ago

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

jznrpg2h ago

CD is so big I’ll play it all year and squeeze shorter games inbetween

jznrpg2h ago

I preordered it long ago. Going to start it later this evening

solideagle, maybe the article is wrong but it mentions BG3 as the other.

CrimsonWing694h ago

It’s good, but I’m getting tired of seeing how overrated it’s getting.

andy852h ago

It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time

1nsomniac2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….

dveio1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?

I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.

Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
