GAF Bingo 2012! (Bingo over! Thanks to all our prize gifters!)

I will be hosting another round of NeoGAF Bingo this year! There will be two nights of Bingo over this Holiday season. The first night will be Friday, December 28th at 5:00PM EST, while the second night will be Saturday, January 5th at 5:00PM EST.

Here is a clickable card generator for you!

Rules for Bingo:

1) You must post your Bingo card in this thread before the round starts. If the game has already started, you can post your card to get in on the next round. Hopefully, we will get a random Bingo card generator up and running again this year. It is encouraged that you stick with a single round for the whole night, but it is not mandatory.

2) I will state all the prize bundles before the night begins.

3) I will start a round by declaring what prize bundle is up for grabs. Everyone should clear their boards at this time.

4) I will then begin to announce drawings on ~20 second intervals by simply posting them here. It will look like this:

Other people can still post in this thread, but you should be able to pick the drawing out because it will be underlined, in bold, and attached to a red name.

5) If you get 5 in a row in any direction (column, row, or diagonal), post "bingo." If two people win off the same drawing, then the first person to post "bingo" is the winner. After you have called Bingo, please follow up with your winning numbers and a link to your card.


Other specific rules because we're playing on the internet:

1) Once you have posted your card, you cannot edit that post under any circumstances. This minimizes the chances of people changing their card to create a winner.

2) If you would like to post a new card to replace an old one, please go back and edit the old card out. This is to avoid people trying to have two cards and choose which one to hand in depending on which wins first. You can also keep the same card (and thus same post) throughout, if that is what you would prefer.

3) Your board does not have to be reposted between rounds, but it does need to be reposted between Bingo days. That is, even if you want to use the same card you used for Bingo last month, you must repost it for this game. This allows for tidier book keeping for me, and greatly improves my ability to make sure everyone has one card only.

4) Prizes will be handed out after all rounds have finished, to minimize downtime between sessions.

5) You can get a Bingo card generated here:

Lastly, Enjoy the Bingo games! This is more about our generous, happy community, more than it is actually winning prizes. Although prizes are also fun. Let's all be grateful for a community that makes this sort of thing possible.

If you are interested in donating, please begin browsing the Steam Holiday Sales and see if there is anything you'd be willing to buy to throw in the pot. This games only works because NeoGAF members are so generous!

In addition, this year we will also be allowing non digital games to be allowed in the pot. 3DS games, Vita games, etc. will be allowed, as long as you are willing to pay shipping. Please note if you are unwilling to ship across the ocean, etc.

To donate an item, please PM me here and I will begin to collect all our prizes for the Bingo night. Thanks!

Guys, please sift through these Steam sales and see if there is anything you're willing to donate. Be patient, as I don't need everything donated today. Again, this works off your generosity first and foremost.
 
EDIT: here's my bingo card.

Yes! Boyfriend participated in this last year but I missed the thread and didn't get to. Obviously it was his fault for not telling me! I'll definitely be participating this time around!
 
I'm definitely going to buy some copies of games here and there throughout the sale to donate as prizes. Should be fun! Is it okay to ask for requests on what some people may want as prizes?
 
Very cool, I've been wanting to do a GAF Bingo since the summer sales.

Won Silent Hill last year. Hopefully I'm not working during the games this year!
 
Will see what I have to donate this year.
Loved it last year, even though I never won. It was ridiculous seeing the meltdowns and thrown table jpg's
 
This sounds awesome, I'm in. As for donating, I will throw something in the pot when I get paid tomorrow.
 
I don't recall what the rules for the cards are, with regards to numbering.
I don't think we used the typical b1-15, i 16-30, and so on, last year, so I'd rather get it out in the open now and avoid issues later.

This is correct. A/B/C/D 1-20, for a total of 80 random choices.

I did this simply because it was easier to randomize from my end, but I'm happy to switch if we'd like to. Last year's rules:

I'll keep this near the top -- we need people to remember throughout the steam sale, because I'm sure there are good deals every day.
 
Just pointing out - if the bingo cards are image based, it would be possible for someone to go back and change their card without editing their post, if they uploaded it to their personal web space or something. If you want to remove that possibility, you might want to create ASCII cards, or host the images on GAF's servers, like avatars.
 
is this open to people of all the world or it is US only?

Everyone. That is, in fact, why I host it at 5PM EST: that's early for a lot of US GAF members (2PM GMT), but late for EU gaffers (11-12 PM). It's my attempt to include as many of both groups as possible.

If you're from somewhere else, that's obviously fine too!

Yes, I ask people to do ASCII cards. Image based versions are optional, and you can do both.
