This is a 'free to enter' competition where anyone has a chance of winning an apartment...it's just a small one on Calypso...I have two or three so can't remember location but I'll post in the F.A.Q.
The competition will run until my birthday, October 28th, and I've decided to deem that the start of Kev's Golden Age.
So consider this a special KGA apartment prize.
There will also be a second prize, not sure of the value but probably around 300 peds...I'm bored and this will amuse me and be cheaper and with less lag than hunting!
OK a few more details for now....
Basically the competition is in two parts:
1) to win the apartment you'll have to vote for a particular music video and guess which one I rate the best performance.
You vote here:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...38-richard-thompson-apartment-prize-vote.html
(but best to listen to the following 18 music videos first before voting)
At the end of the competition the person who has voted for the one I like the best wins the apartment...if there is more than one vote for that video then it goes to a ballot determined by the UK's national lottery numbers.
2) to win the second prize you have to choose the song/video you like best and give your reason why...I will choose the winner of this prize.
Simplez isn't it?
OK now for the (potentially) hard bit.
Those of you who have read my blog might have noticed that I'm a massive Richard Thompson fanatic and you will have to choose from a total of 18 of his music videos that I've posted in my blog (so far).
This type of music isn't to everyone's taste but you could just take a stab in the dark and win the competition anyway without listening to any of the tracks.
I'll be posting all 18 music videos in this thread and will set up a poll: remember you are voting for the performance I rate as the best one, not your own preference (you post your own preference and why you like it in this thread).
So good luck everyone, plenty of time to enter so don't panic.
