How about a raffle/Quiz

In one of the online games I play we did something like this although it would take a little time for you to do.

Basically the Idea is like this

Person entering sends you a PM and they get a random set of of questions (say 10 questions you come up with) they have to answer about locks/lock picking/ Or just this site (they are not a loud to ask the questions on the forum or they are disqualified)

Once they return the correct answers through PM you then send them their random set of numbers.

After the decided amount of time has passed you do a random drawing so that it keeps it fair and random.


Also we aloud the members to enter once a day as long as they completed their previous days test, But this would be up to you and how much of a head ache you wanted to put yourself through.


And for such a great Idea do you want me to PM my address =P

That brings up a pretty good point. One obvious issue that comes to mind is that it might not be prudent to send pick tools to minors without parental knowledge/consent.

Something to think about.

Good Idea ! The only issue I see with that is the time factor .. I don’t mind spending SOME time on this .. but I have a job and a family .. so I can’t spend a lot of time with this … any volunteers ?( I MIGHT be able to find a “ special item “ to say thanks for volunteering . ) :D

And to everyone else who has responded .. THANKS! Keep the ideas and suggestions coming , we can make this work .

Here's what we do. I send you a box of cash for shipping and you send me some loot.

...or you could have a raffle/contest.

I like the idea of a raffle a lot more, as it will give beginners a chance to win something too.
