John Barresi 5,752 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Alright folks, it's time for me to eat a little crow. I must express my deepest apologies for an error on my part when doing the drawing last night and literally (somehow) mis-reading the winning number on the list... It was an odd day but I'll forgo excuses to simply issue an official correction (after speaking with Mike beforehand to clear the air) and announce the correct winner, subscriber #1359 - this kite is going home with @Tim Grosse. Those of you who have been here long enough know that I work to try and be as humble as possible in these things, and to use (even mediate) as much grace as possible throughout the forum - please accept my heartfelt apology, and I hope that my transparency continues to speak toward the ethics behind the curtain here, and my sincere interest in all our members (subscribers or otherwise). @Mike Klaiber, direct apologies to you, and my ongoing thanks for your good grace. ❤️ 16 hours ago, John Barresi said: Drum roll... A brand new Djinn XT is going home with subscriber #1331! #1359 Huge congrats go out to @Mike Klaiber @Tim Grosse I'll be in touch to confirm shipping info - fly it in good health! Deepest thanks to all for your ongoing support, as I've said elsewhere, this community would not exist without your good faith... Stay tuned for a new prize as soon as we line one up. 🙏 "Let me have it" on any front if it's due, I'm willing to take it, with any ensuing healthy discussion. 😇 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bunduki Vlieger 74 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Oh Oh... I don't want to complicate this now, but isn't this the same list as the one from December? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riffclown 3,121 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 wow... Maybe Mike did win and @John Barresi accidentally pasted the wrong image? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Barresi 5,752 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Oh shoot, you're right, good catch @Bunduki Vlieger and the subscriber terms clearly dictate a subscriber cannot win twice in a row, I didn't even remember that. Quote “Skip one” When a particular subscriber number wins any drawing, it is excluded from the next (immediately following) prize drawing and automatically re-entered into subsequent drawings. This rule applies only to that winning number, any additional subscriber numbers held by a member remain eligible to win. Obviously it's not "automatic" in the strictest sense, it still requires an acute operator on this end to remember such things. Normal process when a winning number is ineligible is to draw randomly again, not to work down the first list. Stand by. 😚 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Barresi 5,752 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Oh ho! I see now.... Gimme a second to explain all in the next post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Barresi 5,752 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 The first drawing with @Mike Klaiberis actually correct... I just mistakenly posted last drawing's screenshot (amidst others on my desktop) in my rush to complete the drawing, then got lost in all the ensuing confusion. The last drawing, the line spool for Tim on 12/15/20: The current drawing, Djinn HV for Mike on 2/10/21: Again I deeply apologize for my ineptitude, will amend the winner announcement accordingly and make arrangements with @Mike Klaiberfor shipping... At least the first draw was actually correct, and it was just my confusion that threw everything askew. 😊 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
