VIP Passes Competition: General discussion thread.

I wanted to go in and chritian Bella's lovely new clean carpet with my big muddy feet but I'd have sullied the post count for lottery tickets and been told no cookies for me.
So I thought I'd start a thread to discuss the competition and supply a place where we can *****, praise and generally discuss it.
Contest thread here.
So first up:
Is that downtown Manhatten, New York City, Thailand?
-Art|||Too bad I'm not planning on going to Manhattan any time soon. I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to win this competition considering there are 30 passes, a very near date in the future so not much planning time, and the whole New York thing.|||Hooray! I live in Manhattan :)
Lottery post said that it is in Midtown, on West 58th. I didn't Google it exactly, but my guess is that it is close to Times Square (eewww).
I'm wondering if we will be able to bring a friend... Probably not, but would be nice.|||I'd enter if free travel from Europe was included.
Sadly, it doesn't* include that.

But yes, agreed.|||Quote:

same here, sigh|||I have a question about the lottery actually. I can't go myself, I'm busy on the date of the event, but I have a friend who currently lives near there. Can I post to get a vip pass for that friend or does he need to be a member of the forum to get his own pass?
I didn't want to ask this in that thread because I didn't want it to be considered for the lottery until the question was answered.|||Quote:

Sure I guess if they really can't be bothered to register and make one post...|||By the way, I posted about it in the Kotaku tips section. I figured getting more exposure for the site isn't a bad thing?|||I would think there would be more on this community who would be more interested in the VIP tickets. So far only 2 posts??!
...ok, it's 9 posts now. Still...but I guess many have the same problem as me: no money to fly to NYC.
