Hey there curious traveler! Welcome to my exciting little thread. I assume since you've ventured here that you're seeking the treasure hidden deep within the confines of this thread – a free Minecraft account! If so, then welcome! Enjoy your stay and test your luck with a roll of the dice! If not, well, see you next time! Within this thread I will be giving away one (or more) accounts every month to a random forum user for free.
"Wow, a free account! But wait, what's the catch?"
Don't worry wayward traveler, this thread comes with no hidden mob spawners. It's merely a simple way for me to give back to a community that has brought me boundless entertainment within the past three years.
"Whoa! Well, give me my free account!"
Hold up there, take a breather. Before we get to giving away accounts I'll need you to confirm that you're eligible for the giveaway. If you're not, then just try again next month. To enter the raffle you must meet the following requirements:
-You must have at least 100 posts on the forums. (I will check to make sure you aren't simply spamming)
-You must be a member for at least 1 month at the time of entry. (I will check this too.)
If you meet these two simple requirements then you can go ahead and proceed deeper into this thread!
"How do I enter? Tell me! Tell me now!"
Okay, okay. So, you've ventured deep within the forums and returned a month later, your 100 glorious posts in tote. So what now? Now you can post a reply to this thread with your forum username in it. Your post can simply be your username and nothing more, but if it doesn't at least include your username I will not count your entry.
"Here, take my username! Now, how do I win?"
Now that you've given me your entry I'll add it into a spoiler at the bottom of this post and assign you an entry number. I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner each month. If you've won you will recieve a confirmation PM from me here on the Minecraft forums. I WILL NEVER CONTACT YOU BY E-MAIL, SKYPE, OR ANY OTHER SERVICE. ALSO, I WILL ONLY CONTACT YOU FROM THIS ACCOUNT. Once I PM you I will expect a reply within 1 week or you will forfeit your account and I will draw a new winner. Once I receive confirmation I will send a code from a Minecraft Pre-paid card that I purchased earlier in the month and instructions on how to redeem the code. I will then post the winner to the thread and move along with the next month.
"I thought giveaways were against the rules though, Relyh. Won't this be deleted?"
I have already received confirmation that this post fits within the MCF rules.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns you can feel free to contact me in this thread or by PM.
Q: If I already own Minecraft am I still eligible for this giveaway?
A: Yes. While I hope truly that you will pass this free account onto another instead of hoarding it for yourself, anyone is eligible for this giveaway.
Q: If I win this giveaway can I enter again?
A: No. I will only permit each forum user to win once. I'd rather not just continually donate accounts to a single user.
Q: I don't currently meet your entry requirements but want to enter. How many giveaways will you be hosting?
A: I can't really answer this definitively; however, I will strive to maintain this so long as it doesn't become a financial burden.

This is pretty nice. I would love to get my friend an account.
It's just a way to distinguish between people who are simply commenting and those who are actually aiming to enter. I imagine they'd say if they were entering, but still.
Might as well throw my name in the hat. Maybe I can finally stop sharing an account with my stepson. We could actually play together on the same server if we want!
Update the OP with the entries. If you don't see your name on there it's because you failed to follow the instructions. Please carefully reread the post and reply again.
I am not calling you shady or inaccurate, but how the lottery system has rolling cages with numbered balls to choose numbers instead of programs... we learned in statistics class that the only "true" random numbers are ones pulled from nature, as all computer-generated numbers using only software are merely doing a complex equation that appears random to us.
But I perhaps shouldn't have said all this. If you feel like this may give you poor PR, I'll edit it up. >.<
I'm kind of sorry I brought this up; I think too much... and numbers are fascinating to think about, to me.

Good on you for doing something like this anyway.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
Might have some uses for this.
Thanks in advance if I win man!
Nice to give gift codes to people who don't have money to buy an account, Relyh.
I am an artist. All the art you see on my profile is by me, if it's not I will say so and whom its owner is.

Why wouldn't it be random?
