Perhaps the most hilarious thing would be that even if I won $100 from this, most of it would go right back to Tom via the NG store.

I've already spent $85 there but I might buy another shirt if there are any new designs I like.

RubberNinja has been keeping a list of all the NG folks who will be attending Comic-Con, as well as the Anime Expo in LA and Supanova in Perth, Australia.

Another Comic-Con already? Why don't they make one for the southeast coast. :(

For the next 20 days, my goal is to post once a day with some snippets of NG-relevant news. For example, we just renewed our bandwidth contract and are now paying considerably less per month than we have in the past! It's crazy to think that at one point, our bandwidth bill was over $20,000 per month - and that was back when we were just scraping by to survive.

How you can afford that plus giving money away for prizes is beyond me,seriously how do you profit.

To celebrate our initial savings, I'll be giving out $100 per day for the next 20 days! We have a raffle script that we run once a month to pick a monthly winner from users who deposited their daily points. Every day you have the opportunity to vote on five submissions and deposit your points, and each daily deposit counts as one entry in the raffle. If you vote every day, you are entered in the raffle 28-31 times per month. Only for the next 20 days, I'll be running this script on a daily basis, and only for the previous day. So if you deposited your points yesterday, you were included in today's raffle.

Do you contribute to charity too,you are truely a saint Tom.

Our first daily winner is Pokelord-EX! So $100 is going to Pokelord-EX and tomorrow someone else will win $100.

A pokemon fan winning the first day,who seen that coming. :P

This is very exciting. Finally, making a deposit actually takes some sort of physical impact on our lives. Instead of it just boosting your NG-Penis.

Not sure if you'll read this far into the thread, but...

What if the person who wins doesn't respond to the PM? Is there a time limit to respond with contact information? I was just thinking, with the influx of new users every day, there is a slight possibility that some one who shows up for 1 day and deposits will win, but never read the PM and get the money.

You know, I've been losing my urge to deposit lately. I've hardly been active on this site, but a slim chance at an easy 100 for doing something I've been doing for what feels like a lifetime? Sure, why not. Congrats on saving some mula too.

This will make voting more interesting =)

Out of interest what are the average number of users who vote daily? Well is there an average? Just to know what our sort of chances of winning are..

The only thing about this is that my mom knows jackshit about Newgrounds, so if I do win $100, she might get a bit suspicious that I'm getting free money from the internet.

I'm liking this whole free money for 20 days idea...it means that relatively noob animators like me have a chance to earn if they can only just scrape past 3.00 after voting 5 on their own submissions for months.....but then again, there are still very low odds of winning.....

On the subject of Newgrounds, look out for a new version of Newgrounds: A History which should be coming out within the next week. It features brand new title and credits screens, as well as the most important change, a narration from Nerky: same script, different voice!

Just thought of something..

Is it fair that there are people who vote daily on their alternative accounts that they use when submitting spammy flash or just to make their stats look really cool get double or triple the chance to win some money?
