The winners will receive the following as their rewards (The first raids will be run during the raid week of JULY 1-7)
1st place: Full BT and Hyjal run, you can loot ANYTHING you want except what is listed in the changelog below (2nd reply), MINIMUM of 6 items, NO Maximum, PLUS an Amani War Bear
2nd place: Full BT and Hyjal run, you can loot ANYTHING you want except what is listed below, MAXIMUM of 4 items, minimum 2.
Wild Card: Based on how many points you have, we will be /randoming 3 spots for a person to come in and loot TWO items TOTAL in BT/Hyjal.
**If you do not receive your MINIMUM ITEM QUOTA, you will be brought with along for up to TWO extra raids to meet your quota, if you have still not matched your quota, you will not be brought anymore.**
Raid spots and loot priority will be based on the following: -First place winner will be given first priority on all loot and raid spots over any other winner. -Second place winner will be given second priority on loot and raid spots over the Wild Card winners. -Wild Card winners will be brought in for bosses from which they need loot, if they need trash loot they will be brought in for trash as well. In the event that two or more Wild Card winners want the same item, the person who had the most accumulated Death Wish Credits will be brought in.
Wild Card Selection: After the final Credits are totaled, the winning contestant's points will be used to assist in the selection of the three Wild Card spots. When asked for, contestants will send an IN-GAME MAIL to Dwcontest with a number between 1 and {1st Place Winner's total points}. Dwcontest will roll /random 1-{1st Place Winner's Points} ONCE. The THREE closest numbers will be selected as the Wild Card spots. You will have 48 HOURS to send a mail in-game to Dwcontest with your chosen number if you wish to partake in the Wild Card race (DO NOT SEND A MAIL UNTIL CALLED FOR IN THIS THREAD). You will not be eligible to win the Wild Card selection if your point total is not 5% or more of the 1st Place Winner's points.
Wild Card example: Winning contestant (1st Place): 2100 points Wild Card contestant 1: Sends mail with the number 1555 Wild Card contestant 2: Sends mail with the number 1200 Wild Card contestant 3: Sends mail with the number 800 Wild Card contestant 4: Sends mail with the number 2000 Wild Card contestant 5: Sends mail with the number 1850 Dwcontest rolls 1-2100, outcome is a 1553.

If you already have amazing gear and only want very specific items, we reserve the right to limit how many runs we take you on in order to meet your quota for the contest.

Items on the non-lootable list may be changed by the time the contest is over (Items may be removed, however, never added), depending on our luck with drops in Black Temple and Hyjal during the duration of the contest.
Good luck to everybody!

The first place winner is now EXEMPT from the "Cannot Loot List" with the exception of: Warglaive of Azzinoth (MH/OH), Madness of the Betrayer, and Shadowmoon Destroyers Drape. This means you can loot ANY ITEM except for the four mentioned in this post.
Congrats Archonus and Saderin. If I had my way, I'd never work. I'd just stay home all day, watch Scarface 50 times, eat a turkey sandwich, and have sex all fucking day. Then I'd dress up like a clown, and surprise kids at schools. Then I'd take a dump in the back of a movie theater, and just wait until somebody sat in it. Hear it squish. That's funny to me. Then I'd paint, and read, and play violin. I'd climb the mountains, and sing the songs that I like to sing. But I don't got that kinda time.
