...and I was feeling reasonably good about reaching #18 efficiently. But don't really have the time to burn to claw my way up another 15 places. I was hoping that the raffle would be weighted by the number of points you have...oh well. Time to just hope I'm lucky.

By the way--thanks for babysitting this thread and responding to everyone.

Ah, yes, weighted raffles. We'd love to have weighted raffles. We were fooling with that awhile ago, but there's a sticky legal point. The whole no purchase necessary clause. If we had weighted raffles it sounds like we'd need a way for people to send us a postcard and have equal treatment as the highest person on the leader board with the raffle. That didn't sound fair. We'd love to figure out a way to do it though.

> The whole no purchase necessary clause.

But none of the games/tasks cost anything anyway... so no purchase is necessary. (What am I missing?)
