Title: Some Giveaways: Part II - Spooky Scary Giveaway - OVER/Winners announced
Post by: jerue on Mon, 26 October 2015, 13:45:46
IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME

Welcome one and all...to a spooky giveaway...
This giveaway will run fairly similarly to my last one. Anyone can enter until Midnight on Halloween Eve (October 30)....if they dare....



(http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Magneto-Evil-Laugh-X-Men.gif)


There will be 3 prizes to give out, to three different ghouls and goblins. You can win the first two by testing your knowledge and your might. The last one you can only win if you wish to enter a different realm.

HOW TO PLAY

THE KEYBOARD UNDERLORD DEMANDS KEYBOARD GORE POSTS


FIRST AND SECOND PRIZES winners: ansario, nubbinator

More
In a past life, I was a mere mortal slaving away for THE PIG. Whilst slaving away I encountered a special keyboard. What was the name of this keyboard?

  • You must guess the EXACT name of the keyboard to win, part numbers included IF applicable
  • Posting an image of the board is not required but may be helpful to other mortals
  • You get one guess per day, please do not break this rule or you will be banished  >:D
  • I will provide a hint to all of you silly pleebs HERE in the OP once per day.

  • First hint - 10/26: This is a keyboard I DO NOT or have EVER OWNED...the key may be in this answer
  • Second hint - 10/27: Travel back to the days of white and beige...the key may be in this answer.
  • Third hint - 10/28: THE PIG has significant meaning. Take my location into account. It might help narrow down your selection...the key may be in this answer.


 >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D


 >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D


UP FOR GRABS TO ANY EARTH-MONGERING MORTAL:

TRICK OR TREAT...
(http://www.brettmartincomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/MysteryBag.jpg)

First Prize: TRICK OR TREAT - YOUR POOR CHOICE OF HORROR STEM (MX/Topre/BS)

Second Prize: TRICK OR TREAT- FORCED UPON MX


Remaining Prize: TRICK OR TREAT - YOUR POOR CHOICE OF MX or Topre

Anything could be in these bags. It could be sweet treats. Or it could be nothing but tricks!!!

Guess: IBM 5140, but I'm not entering


I wish I still had my friend's roommate's board. It was so grimey when he gave it to me to fix after spilling coke on it. Coke + 3 years of no cleaning is a bad idea.

I did not make mechanical a requirement :)

Both guesses so far are incorrect. One is closer than the other though

I'm going super over reading into the clue and saying the IBM Model F122 (Model 611034x) because of the F key and F22 and F12 keys (get it, keys on the board are in the answered name)

Only reason I guess that is because the Dell L100 is what every school and office I've ever been in uses, and they are garbage.

edit: oh, white and beige? well it must've been pre 2000s when the Dell keyboards took over.

A couple of you are getting warmer, but are mostly still wrong. I think only one user has come close to deducing the main clue (the same user with the extremely close guess), so I posted another hint that may help.

There are 2 winners for the guessing game. You and ansario both guessed right first.

If only one person got it right by the time I checked this again, I would have just said "be the first to post the correct board and win"...alas the surprise is ruined. So now people gotta watch for the next update.

But for your sincerity, pick your preferred stem type as well, like I stated above :P

It isn't in most places in the world. Heck, there are probably about 1-2 dozen stores remaining in the USA. The company was bought out by Kroger and Winn-Dixie, sharing stores. All stores left are independently owned and operated. This happened about a year after I stopped working there. Hopefully, googling "the pig" brought up the company name, I tried it on an incognito search to see if it worked.

Now you all know a little bit about a fraction of what I did in my summers/holiday breaks between college. :)
