Earlier this week we slapped up a No One Lives Forever 2 give-away. We now have the winners, each taking home a free copy of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way.
I'm really anxious to hear how people liked the give-away. Was the format fair? Did you like how everyone on the site has a chance to win? Tell us in the comments![break="more information"]On a related, I just got my copies of NOLF2 (click for an image of the box and what's inside of it). I got two of them absolutely free from Sierra for helping their tech support team get some CS files during the 1.4 release.
One copy of the game will go in my computer. The second will be autographed by me and sent to MikeJ (the picture doesn't show my random writings, but I can assure you that MikeJ will be pleased to find that I ruined his NOLF2 box)! Since he lives in my state, I will hand deliver the package. To the post office.
The rest of the copies will be bought by CS-Nation with the funds accrued from advertisers/sponsors and the readers who support the site. Because everyone has been so generous the last few months, look for another give-away very soon.
The selection was as follows:
For people who sent us money by upgrading their membership or someone else's membership, the selection process was delightful. Their PayPal and Amazon.com e-mails were exported to a plain text file. We used mIRC's $rand to get a random number between 0 and last line of the file. We then used control + g within notepad and entered in the number.

CS-Nationalists:
SELECT id FROM users WHERE admin = 256 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1admin = 256 means CS-Nationalist status.
Members:
SELECT DISTINCT userid FROM comments ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1The member has to have posted at least one comments to be entered into the drawing. This is so we could have a better shot of landing a valid e-mail address. CS-Nationalist status information is not put into the comments table. It is mere coincidence that a CS-Nationalist won the "members" give-away, but I'm sure that winner's not complaining.
