Smitten's Christmas Contest 2015 - Over $200 in Prizes!

[Falkeid]

Here in Norway, we just had a huge storm and my entire basement got flooded, and pretty much recked. And so did all my computer gear So the Steelseries Rival Mouse would be a nice little thing to not have to worry about replacing during the holidays

I've spent the last 1.6 years in the army, so I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute with when it comes to best memory of Ownedcore. But one is the macro where you could link peoples names in WoW trade chat. I got back to raiding few months back, and my oh my have that caused me to get a shitton of hate, and (maybe) a temporarly ban!


Good luck to everyone, and have a lovely holiday wherever you may spend your time

first off merry early xmas ^.^ .hmm this year so far best i was able to do was write a guide on how to get unstuck out of those pesky auto d/c stuck traps.

The logitech mx is def an upgrade from my 5year old 6$ mouse i have that has its right button wanting to work whenever it feels like it Q_Q. would be really nice to upgrade from that to that. i live in the us-arizona.

My favourite thing on ownedcore has been the reliable buyers, traders, sellers, and otherwise hustlers I've seen around here for various games, and the honest feedback from the users regarding these traders. I have yet to have a negative experience! Also, the shoutbawx. I know these services can be found elsewhere, but I appreciate the community here.

As far as replacements, either the RGB Death Adder, as my headset is the Razer...Whatever, it changes into over 7 million colours (Or so it says), and so does my keyboard. My mouse is just green. It gives my room a nice ambience at night. Otherwise, probably the SSD so I can dedicate Windows to it for faster boot times, and perhaps a small amount of other programs.
I live in the US.

For me personally, the best thing that has happened was me stumbling upon Torpedoe's Yeti software suite. Reason being is that I found it very interesting and it motivated me to start researching and fiddling around with programming. After learning to program for a few months, I realized that I really enjoy it and so I ended up changing my major to Computer Science this past September and now I have an amazing internship lined up starting January.

I think I would mostly benefit from the SSD as I would love to install a clean OS on it and use it just for programming/learning.

I most admit the best thing for me from 2011 until today was to be able to trade and become a respectful seller and buyer on OwnedCore.
I have almost 1000 Skype contacts almost all from this site and for this i'm grateful.
Here i found a lot of customers and suppliers for the trades i have done and for this i need to say a big Thanks to OwnedCore community and staff.
Some of them have become even friends with me in time and even now days when i don't trade so much i have some nice chat with them and with few of them i even talk in WoW in game on Real ID.

All these tradings i have done here bring me a nice PC with a nice HyperX 240 GB SSD and a WoW gaming mouse SteelSeries so i don't really need anything but if i win any f the prizes i would love the equivalent to be donated via Red Cross to Colectiv Victims from Romania . Not long ago we had a tragedy here with more than 60 young people died and burned alive (and many others wounded).

Happy Holidays to everyone anticipated !

I really hope this counts, because I don't have anything specific to mention; the reaction from the OC community on so many matters is what really impresses me. I'm not going to single anything out because I dont believe it's fair to, but I think the people who positively, and actively engage in other people's real life/in-game issues, requests, or questions, all deserve a chance to win these prizes.

The Samsung SSD is the biggest upgrade for me, only due to the fact I need a reason to stop being lazy and put my OS on an SSD rather than a mechanical.

This year, one of the things that has helped me out tremendously- Is Probably Engine. I remember when it first started and how great it was that I could focus on other things while tanking rather than making sure my rotation was absolute on-target. It helped me take World of Warcraft a little less seriously while still keeping me at the top of my game. Not only that, but throughout the years of me being here on Owned Core, I've learned to ride the line a bit further than I have before. Such as exploration in the various games I play to exploits or botting in those same games. Through Owned Core Probably Engine has even made me want to get into writing rotations to further my goals as a tank and learn something new.

The prize that I would pick would be the Logitech MX Master Mouse. I used to have the Steel Series Legendary WoW Mouse with 11 buttons and got used to that, but after going through some tough video games and some emotional moments in my life over the years, it broke beyond repair. Currently I'm using a Microsoft Laser Mouse 5000 (from 2001) that's also paired with a keyboard that I don't use since I have a Razer Deathstalker Keyboard that I'm actually quite fond of. Now granted as a gamer I would prefer a wired mouse, but I personally enjoy the look and the feel I imagine the mouse would have.

Country: USA

I think the best thing i have had in this forum is having so many contacts with all of the guys on my skype list.we have business trades and also pleasant talking on our lives.
As it's the first forum i have been staying for so long on doing this business,i have suffered some problems on dealing with issues.However, i have to say thanks to those who had blames on me for my mistakes and also to those who helped me out when i had troubles.And i am sure we could make it better by sharing and improving All the best!

[Nylina]

My best favorite thing I've seen on the forum this year. Hmm..

I come here so much its so hard to decide which would be my favorite. I would have to say the best thing is all the gold guides. I personally love love love farming and reading other peoples guides on how to farm more efficent or better makes me a very very happy girl! I'm so glad to be a part of this site <3


I'm in the US & I'd totally rock that SSD in my computer~!

Thanks for the chance!

Merry Xmas everyone

The best thing I did on ownedcore this year was trying to find the puzzle box of yogg-saron, it took me several days to find out all the trying was futile but it was insanely fun, I still ask the blizzard support about it every time I contact to maybe get a solid answer from them. I also enjoyed playing with the battle.net client to let it download Overwatch and Legion beta.

I'm from the Netherland and would be very happy with the SSD because it would lower the cost of my new build for a nice bit.

Happy times for everbody, and expecting alot of more fun from ownedcore

My best contribution to OwnedCore, or MMOwned as it was back then, must be the OpenBot tutorial or ZG farming.

This year it must have been the puzzle box thread that caught my eye not too long ago, after having forgotten all about it.

My favorite exploit or guide must be the Dire Maul book farming as a hunter back in Vanilla. I earned so much gold by farming the books and selling them on AH, not counting the book of Dragonslaying. I was one of the richest on my server back then, even though, I had no idea how to play the AH.

Then I learned how to play the AH and together with botting made my first gold cap. Two months later I had 4 million gold.

The best time OwnedCore/MMOwned wise must be the “good old days” where we used to get a little bit drunk and sit in the bawx till the middle of the night. We used to be a tight knit bunch since the site and the community was smaller back then.

Experiencing how certain individuals have grown up and changed throughout the years have been great too. Some of the people I respect the most on OwnedCore are also some of the people who have been the maddest at me. However, in most of the cases they have said that it was simply because the truth was ill heard and that they are thankful today, so in some way I am glad that I have helped a tiny bit in shaping them to be such amazing unique individuals as they are today!

SSD would be nice, unless people think it is unfair of me to enter since I am admin. If that is the case, I won't enter

Ah, I remember those days. I still remember how I raged at you and how you made me feel like a total dumbass for doing so and completely turned me around on this site ^_^
As far as competing, I think it's only fair you can, especially since you're one of if not the most dedicated member here.

best thing of this year is Legion sandbox, I think

I want one of additional prizes, because my country not in list

[[Soul Eater]]

Best thing for me was the Model Editing section way back in 2009 I think? It was during that time where lots of creativity (but also drama actually lol) bloomed and it was really active. For me personally it opened up a whole new thing. I learned lots of things during that time, from simple texture swapping and recolor in WoW to injecting custom 3D models. Discussing, learning, sharing, showing off, appreciating the things that the members made was such a great time for me. It was really a fun and meaningful experience for me that I appreciate it to this day.

Right now the present I actually want is a new mouse. Preferably the Logitech one. The reason is because my current one is just a cheap chinese one which easily broke (which I kinda did) and right now I use duct tape so that it doesn't fall off. Here is a picture of it:



Apparently you can just break it if you press too hard on it in multiple succession....RIP intensive mouse clicking.

Best of luck to everyone and have a happy holidays, share it all with friends and family!

The best thing i did on OC this year is that I hope I made a few nice guides that I hope can help people in their gameplay.

I would love to get Deathadder Chroma RGB because my Logitech Performance MX is about to die, Using it for 5+ years so new mouse would help a lot. I'm from Serbia
