PAX Prime Cookie Brigade Bingo!

aerynkelly

At PAX East this year we tried out a new Cookie Brigade Bingo, and it seemed to go well, so we're bringing it back for Prime! There will be some tweaking of the rules based on feedback from East, but for now here are the rules:

Cookie Brigade Bingo!

Rules:
-Open to the first 25 people who sign up
-Brigadiers can play, but are not eligible to win prizes
-Cookies/Brigadiers must be found "in the wild." This means if you find a brigadier/cookie in our super secret staging area, you will be disqualified from winning the prizes.
-The 1st person to get Bingo wins the 1st prize; the 2nd person to get Bingo wins the 2nd prize; the 3rd person to get Bingo wins the 3rd prize; the 1st person to get blackout Bingo wins the grand prize! You are eligible for 1 prize only.
-Instead of numbers, the Bingo card has cookie types, and donation amounts.
-If you get a cookie from a brigadier that is on your card, the brigadier will mark your card.
-If you donate (to Child's Play) the amount on your card, the brigadier will mark your card. Donations are cumulative.
-The center square, Attend PAX! is free

How to join:

Send me a PM with your desire to play and your email address and you will receive your Bingo playing card! Please make sure to print it out to bring with you to PAX!

How to win:

You can win by getting Bingo in one of the following ways: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or blackout. If you get Bingo, advise the brigadier who will escort you to your prize.

Prizes:

Grand Prize - PAX forumer beer stein full of cookies, a challenge coin, and an extra special embroidered souvenir!
1st Prize - PAX forumer beer stein full of cookies and a challenge coin

The bingo last East was GREAT! One of the prizes was a huge assortment of of all the best cookies.

Question: does the list of non-eligable people for prizes include people who baked cookies? (Note: I'm dropping these things off Thursday so it's entirely unlikely I'll have any idea where the staging area is :P )

Getting a consensus answer on this. I'll get back to you

In other news, 6 players! Who else is in?!

Versuserik

This makes not being picked as an Omeganaut less disappointing. Adding to my already impressive size for a good cause makes me happy.
Let the cookie games begin!

Eh, no problem, I thought I'd ask in the name of full disclosure before I took a spot :P

tsrblke

Edit: Damn my trigger finger (and apparently crappy internet connection.)

aerynkelly

Sorry tsrblke, but even though you won't be distributing, as a baker you have access to our site and info. To keep the game fair, you can play, but would not be eligible for prizes. Thanks for being upfront and asking though

tsrblke

Totally fair response . I suppose I could have dodged it entirely by having my wife register (I kid, I kid.)
It's cool, I have enough on my plate anyway .

ElmoFuntz

I'm interested

Ghostly Clockwork

If there's any spots left, I'd love to play! I bet my sister would as well but she's, sadly, not a fourmite, but she'll be at PAX, so she'll be able to assist in the search. It's my second year at PAX, and I'm a huge fan of the Cookie Brigade!

sanovah

You should both be fine, if you want to PM me your email address when you can as well as sending one to aerynkelly so she can update the list.

For everyone else, an email will be coming soon with more information. My kids are (finally) heading back to school tomorrow (YAY!!) I'll be working on the cards and last minute details tomorrow and Tuesday and cards will be emailed on Wednesday/Thursday.
