dragonfish Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 The next karma drawing will be for a Davis Marble Stake from LS Custom Kite Accessories. From what I've seen, these are really pretty marbles, and Walt turns them into kite stakes. I have one of Walt's original marble stakes and get compliments on it. A Davis Marble stake is sure to get more compliments.To enter, start your post with "I'm in" or "Oooohhh, shiny" (any number of o's and h's will do). The drawing will be done on 4/20, and the winner will get to pick the stake from Walt's stock at that time. As an example, the attached picture was what he had a few days ago. The back row are the Davis Marble Stakes. He's already sold a couple and is planning to make more soon, so the selection will be different by the time the drawing happens. Good luck. (Moderator Edit: Entry number will be determined by order of entry and the drawing will be done using the standard RNG method, unless Joanna gets on here and says differently - Standard Karma Note from the Moderators This is a Karma Drawing. The winner of the drawing is expected to pay it forward by offering their own prize for the next drawing. Please do not enter unless you are willing to offer your own prize, preferably not the prize you just won. Drawings should be open for entry approximately 2 weeks, and the next drawing should be posted as soon as possible to keep the Karma rolling.These drawings are run by and for KiteLife members. The moderating team only ensures that your drawing post contains all of the pertinent information (drawing date/time, adequate prize description, drawing rules) before approval. If you are a KiteLife member from the US or Canada, you are eligible to enter. You do not have to be a paid subscriber. Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize. Here is the link to the original Rules and Guidelines thread: http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5426-rules-and-guidelines-please-read/ The mechanism for the drawing itself is entirely at the discretion of the person offering the prize. In the past, entry number has been determined either by order of entry or by the post number in which the member declares entry into the drawing. The drawings have been performed using the RNG method (http://www.random.org/sequences/) or by choosing the numbers out of a hat (I believe an adorable daughter did the picking in that scenario). The only requirement is that the method of selection is clearly spelled out in the drawing post.Entry into the drawings is done by STARTING a post in the drawing thread with the entry phrase chosen by the drawing host (Traditionally "I'm in", but "I LIKE" has been used as well). In order to remove any confusion or misinterpretation, only entries with posts that START with the phrase will be considered. As with all other KiteLife drawings, bantering is encouraged. This is for fun after all. Entries: 1. bbailey49 2. makatakam 3. Tmadz 4. Amexpmh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbailey49 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I am very tempted to be the first one entered on this one, but I think I will wait a bit. I love these stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfish Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Oops, knew I forgot something trying to do this on my phone (no internet right now). Thanks for the edit, Barton. That drawing method was what I was planning to do. Now let the fun begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmadz Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm in. Always have room for one of Walts stakes. You must have the proper accoutrements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfish Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm in. Nice prize Joanna. Wonder where I can get a stake holder for it??? Marshall Walt probably has some. I'm pretty sure Marshall was being sarcastic as he's made some stake holders that have been given away in past karma drawings. I have one. And by the way, the stake in this drawing does come with its own holder in case anyone is wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Cool, now I definitely have to have it. Do you think anyone would be interested in acquiring my stake insertion and removal tool? Makes the job easy regardless of soil or sand conditions, ensures secure holding power, makes removal a snap, and guarantees absolutely clean removal with no residual material adhering to the shaft. It also serves to protect your equipment from people and the elements. Should retail for about $4000 US. I've attached a photo of the prototype: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim P. Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Now that would look cool as a "lifeguard" by my pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfish Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Alright, a little less than a day left. Now's the time to get in if you're still thinking about this. I'll do the drawing Monday after dinner (Pacific time). Entrant list at the bottom of the first post should be up to date as of now. If you thought you should be on there but are not, make sure you used one of the magic phrases or let me know if I accidentally missed yours.
