Title: [Giveaway] 1swt2gs Very First Bro Giveaway!
Post by: 1swt2gs on Thu, 10 March 2016, 23:06:46
I have been a part of GH for a short while now and have been generous to score a few Bros! I love the community on here and have been welcomed by so many members (jerue, asdfjkl36, and inanis, to name a few!) and honestly feel like this is my second home. It's now my time to give back to the community which has given me so much! I may be missing a few details here and there. If so OG's let me know in comments and I will update original post! I hate RNG, so I will be picking my favorite entry.

This is my first giveaway, forgive me if I did anything wrong or left out any details. I try to use all my caps on my boards and these particular cap do not get much use so looking to give it away!

Cap up for grabs is choice of:

Realgar Grumpkin Mx

Brown Cherokey Topre

*ignore the blue brototype*


Rules:
1. Please do not PM me regarding this giveaway, post in thread. Otherwise I would love to chat with you!  ;D
2. I pay shipping (it's a giveaway, after all). Tracked for CONUS, untracked for everywhere else
3. I encourage Broless peeps to participate (I know how hard it can be to score your very first Bro and get in the game). However, everyone is welcome, especially those who have helped me in one way or another.
4. If you want to post pictures but don't want to be included in giveaway then just mention somewhere in the thread and I'll make sure not to include you!
5. I would love to see you use this cap on your board and not just have it in its plastic baggy, in a shoebox, use it as trade bait, or instantly flip it once I send it to you. If you do, I will hate you.
6. If you do decide to flip it, do so at RETAIL.
7. Account created before 03/01/2016 (no alternate accounts demik, you cheater)
8. 2 max entries per person (in 1 post) i.e. 2 pictures max
9. When: Now until Next Thursday, March 17th, 2016 8pm PST
10. Why: Cause you all awesome

Post a picture of your board or artisans next to something dangerous and risky.

Some ideas: Is your board about to go for a swim? Does your BBV2 feel like jumping off a cliff? Is your poker II about to be run over by your WRX?

Please don't dunk your boards into the toilet, bathing tube, or light them on fire. I do not condone the torturing of keyboards and artisans (I'm looking at you Firebrand + appleonama :))

Good luck and most importantly have fun!

Well, I'll try my luck getting my first Bro!

================= EDIT =================

So here's my entry. It's maybe a bit too risky but well, for a Bro I decided to go all in and risk with my firstborn.

A little backstory. My baby is a hand-wired keyboard, my first and only child. So like all babies, he needs to be cleaned. But he doesn't like to take a ride in the washing machine, nono!

(http://i.imgur.com/rBNcL7G.jpg)

What he likes is a relaxing bathtub! Just don't look too hard because it's just a little 40% and it's shy!

So giveaway winners can choose which keycap they want? I only have an MX-compatible(Gaterons) keyboard, that's why I'm asking.

I will definitely enter in this giveaway! Already have some ideas for the photos. When I'll have them, I edit this post, right?

You choose keycap you want. 1 winner.

Edit the above post with your picture!

Got it, thanks! BTW, I can agree with you about GH feeling like second home. I'm a new member but I already love this community. Never been so active about anything and can finally say, I've found my hobby/passion! My mind is going wild thinking about artisan/PCB/sleeve/case making. I want to try it all even if I haven't done anything related before. Probably because I'm a student and like making stuff because I'm always broke. :D

One Chickey...37 floors up...

It was also a little windy and rainy although you can't really see that in the picture. Every gust of wind while my Chickey was there was like a mini heart attack.  :eek:

Good luck to all the other entrants!
