First off, I really want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you that participated, helped this become a success, posted support, and went through this whole process. You are all awesome, and I wish I had the power and ability to get you all a saber for joining in, and being such awesome people all around with this.
This has been (with the minor exception of my goof with the email address) a flawless first run, and I am so, so happy to be able to draw someone's name and get them a new saber. H2soy has been a great asset on the forum and was one of the very first to jump aboard this program, and definitely deserves that saber. Congrats, my friend.
For everyone else, there is always next time! Thank you for the outpouring of support for h2soy in his victory, and being amazing and generally awesome. I am very impressed with how well this worked, and we are definitely doing more. =D
Speaking of more, for the second lottery, it will also be a pre-determined tier of saber, so no poll yet. After this next one, as long as it runs as smoothly as this one did, we will transition to polls ahead of time to make the selection for the lottery. The next one will begin soon, so stay tuned and keep up to date, and for all of our newcomers, get some posts in so you guys can participate this next lottery.
Once again, thank you guys. This was a blast, I'm excited for more! =D
