I will gift a game from the GoG catalogue to the last person who will post in this topic before tomorrow, 22-03-2011 at 18:00 (GMT + 1).
To be the more accurate as possible, I have realized a script that will download this page exactly at 18:00:00 (GTM+1) of tomorrow; than I will proclame the winner, basing on the result.
Good luck :)

Just make sure you don't only download the first page, as you may very well get more than 50 replies (and even more likely to get more than 20, which I believe is the default setting).
I think he will just use the RSS Feature of the Board... quite easy to get the posts by the feed.

In any case, I would not expect a lot of posts until tomorrow 17:55 :)

I will base the result on the number of posts (written on every page) at 18:00 :)

Does this imply multiple possible winners (such as one last posting per page), or is the sentence just a bit misleading? Given that the number of posts would be somewhat meaningless to get the one posting closest to 18 CET.

There will be only one winner.
With this

WrathOfTheAngels: number of posts (written on every page)
I was referring to the number written between the brackets, near the title of the topic. This number, downloaded from the script at 18 CET of tomorrow, will identify the winner. I hope to have been clear, but if you have other questions, feel free to ask.
Posting in case no one else will post anymore. :-)
Will there be a particular game you want to gift, or the winner choses it? If he/she does chose, will it be a 5.99 limit, or 9.99 ?

I can't wait to see tomorrow evening how it will look :D
Interesting idea.

As it is my first gift, I will make the winner completely free to choses the game. The only thing is that the game must be avaiable now on GoG (so, The Witcher 2 is excluded :p)

Two other things:
- as I don't have an orary at work, I don't know if tomorrow at 18:00 I will be at home (but the script will run automatically :) ). So probably I'll wait to tomorrow evening to proclame the winner.
- if there will be a problem with the script tomorrow (for example, while downloading the page, the connection is lost... ecc...), the contest will delayed of one day. Do you agree with this?

WrathOfTheAngels: Do you agree with this?
Well, it's your contest and not like we'd all have to sign a contract ;)
I have a better plan, if your connection goes down or the script messed it up, I do win instantly. Agree? ;)

Hmmmmm..... let me think.............. :p
18:00 GMT + 1... that should be about midnight here... which means I will be asleep as I am not a night owl (I have to get up quite early in the morning to go to work), and yet I am still posting in this thread. It is never wrong to try, is it? :-)
