mnd, you out there ?
Seein' as how there might be a Californian or two in that there list, and seein' as how I done made some of 'em plenty mad enough without hardly tryin', better just go ahead and grant amnesty to the whole dang bunch. Holy Crap , man!! For this , Larue Tactical will receive a significant portion of my discretionary income from now on. Thanks Mark.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: grant amnesty to the whole dang bunch. [/span]  thats a touchy subject out here.... My .02... (which counts for nothing) This is my first time entering the contest. No one explained the rules, but I was aware (through basic observation) that there were infact rules, and that there are PLENTY of threads explaining the rules. So... I did a search. A gleaned from that info that you are to make ONE post, NO edits, containing three Integers, from 000 - 999, and that ML allowed (required? thought I read that... reading is fundamental) a smiley to accompany it. Font, Size, and Color mattered not. I found out that MND did this nifty statistics report that contained all the posts and numbers picked, and that it went down on the first of the month. I then looked at the approximate time of when ML posted his "GO" post, and was around my computer at that general time to get in before the numbers were picked. When I did find the "GO" post (not hard, as it is instantly the most active post in the entire website), I was able to use my intellect, and visit MND's statistics page, pick a number that WAS NOT PICKED, and made my single post, with 3 integers, large red font, and a smiley. Nothing less, nothing more. I found this information out in less than 5 minutes. My first entry, without having my hand held, went off without a hitch. It really is NOT that difficult. I dont think ignorance/stupidity is an excuse to circumvent the rules. And then have a rifle sent to you.  But, its ML's contest, his rules...  ??? you quoted my post because why? It was a joke... about amnesty... for illegal aliens... And this thread was about amnesty for illegal aliens? I am sorry. I thought you were posing a response to the SUBJECT matter, not something you pulled out of your ass. And as far as "here" goes... how would I know where "here" is... you do not have a state listed... just USA. I was under the assumption (wrong on my part apparently) that you would have been talking about the granting of amnesty to those that DQ'd themselves by not knowing the rules. That letting them back into the contest would have been the touchy subject. But, what do I know... I only read and use logic... you must be the other guy. |

I think he is pretty well justified seeing how hostile the state govt is to business in general. Anyone at all familiar with the politics in this state knows that the CA R party sold us out to gerrymander the districts to keep their seats, and more recently to pass the largest tax increase in US history. You can see how 2AM proponents would feel a little abandoned. It doesn't excuse the vitriol toward Mark though, it's not his fault, and he sells everything else here. Hell, he just cut a big old check to help us out. I guess the point of all this rambling is that even though the quote was out of context, anyone who has paid attention to national politics for the last 5 years would recognize the relevance. |

You selling those bottles of awesomeness yet?? ok... first, you owe me a keyboard and a new sinus cavity. Your avatar made me laugh so f'n hard w/ a mouthful of frosted flakes that I think there is one still lodged up there. That is awesome. I honestly cannot stop laughing at it. On the dillodust... knowing governments and their laws, if LT started selling the dillodust (food product), they would insist that LT be registered as a "food processing plant" and get special insurance, licenses, inspections, etc. Most likely would end up being 100 more miles of red tape to add to the millions of miles LT is wading through currently. Probably wind up being harder than selling lowers in California. Or trying to hide enough money from your wife to buy your gun parts. Which, in all honesty, is proving to be perhaps the most difficult thing I have ever done. Like trying to hide steak from a lioness. |

Went and bought a team membership just for this. Figured I'd give it a try. All numbers were taken so I sadly had to dupe someone. I actually punched around till I found a number that had only one post.
Here's hoping it works out. Does winning a LaRue upper qualify you to buy a LaRue lower? |

No offense intended, but I certainly understood what he meant. Read the context - Mexican sombrero-wearing smiley in LaRue's post... amnesty... see the few comments before the one you quoted. I assumed the guy was from Texas, but Texas is more like GA - we're proud enough of our states to list them in our profiles. Based on what Ive read in other posts, most of those with no state listed seem to be from NJ, NY, or CA for some reason. I can only assume they aren't proud of their home states like we are. God only made one Texas and only one Georgia (US state anyway), and then He broke the mold. |

The primary reason is that I'd prefer anyone "monitoring" this board not hone in on my location and cross reference misunderstood information and images and bring undue scrutiny upon me. I think I live in one of the best places in the world, its the morons in politics I am not proud of. I will admit to being a bit weary (and I've only been here a few months) of the "he's a kalifornian, he's a whiner, he can't have real guns, he blames everything on everyone else" stereotype that comes with what some of my fellow residents have said and done. The unending "move to a free state" and "vote if you don't like it" gets old too. Plus, my screen name might abandon me if i give out too much info. |

Maybe the number is 559 this months for cinco e mayo in 09 and all the madness. I think SOMEONE is going to need a high precision rifle in order to defend themselves from the madness going on.
Edit: Nope two people picked that number. Two people picked all the numbers I could think of picking myself. |

<snip> naaaa, i'm good. contests aren't my thing anyway, which i suppose is why i had no idea how this one worked. but i would like to ask mr. larue a favor. since i'm disqualified but it's clear that my number at least is a valid pick.......................if 243 magically comes up would you give the prize to a Green Beret team member friend of mine that's about to deploy to afghanistan again? ETA: he has otherwise not entered the contest and hasn't been on ARF in days Hmmm, there's a point here. In my laziness, not draggin' and droppin' the rules, some folks are left in the dark. My bad.
I look up, and it's the 1st again ... what can I say. I'll do better. In the meantime, how many entrants slipped-up for lack of how the contest is run ? ML by my count there are 22 (including myself) that "didn't get the memo" 304 63 367 135 1000 332 43 65 35 258 163 665 687 384 772 547 040 037 667 186 352 + mine were all numbers picked in good faith and were disqualified by additional text which, i have to assume, was due to not knowing the rules. except mine of course, which was disqualified by text in addition to a double post asking what the hell was going on!! i figure if you're gonna do something, you might as well go all out
now, it should have been apparent, in hindsight, to see that there was a pattern of numbers only in posts. however, i looked at page 1 and the last page only before i posted my number and simply figured that people were posting numbers only in an attempt to make it in before the contest end. wouldn't have mattered in my particular case anyway since my first post was #4 and didn't even know where the hell i was. certainly not a failure of your contest or how it's run but maybe a rule tack in your forum? i looked around everywhere current (but neglected to search or archive) and came up empty.................... mnd, you out there ? Seein' as how there might be a Californian or two in that there list, and seein' as how I done made some of 'em plenty mad enough without hardly tryin', better just go ahead and grant amnesty to the whole dang bunch. |

Quoted: Actually, from an odds standpoint and factoring in the way most "free" random number generators work, you seem to have a better chance of winning if your number is toward the middle of the range. This is assuming that a pseudo-random number generator is used <snip> my PhD research that was based on a network simulator <snip> a lot of packet destinations in the middle address ranges and almost none at all on the far ends <snip> bell curve <snip> standard C-language "rand" function <snip> how the random number generator is seeded <snip> only returns an offset <snip> (hardly random) <snip> you can bet the middle numbers are slightly better than the outside numbers <snip> Plus, it never picks my number, so something must be wrong with it.As so clearly stated by engineer2001, it doesn't matter if I'm duped 'cause I'm in the badlands part of the cuve |
