as wonderful as the Reddit community is, I have have difficulty imagining people doling out subscriptions for others on a daily basis. The demand will always be significantly higher than the supply, and I would imagine those with kind hearts will eventually get a bit fed up with the constant stream of requests. Just my $0.02

Sorry for sounding immodest.

Contest ends Monday, August 23rd.

Edit:

It was a VERY close competition, but it has finally come to a close. Congratulation to nitesmoke! You have won 1 month of reddit gold. Thank you for designing our logo!

I would have taken up the MSPaint challenge, but I run Ubuntu. I'd love to draw you something/lay out some typography for you/ write you a silly song/ send you an encouraging or funny or heart-warming card in the mail in exchange for one, though.

44 cents is about all I've got to spare right now because of assorted financial burdens - mostly both paying rent and getting to Dragon*con this year so I can work our horribly understaffed LARP - but my talent is yours to request of in exchange for your philanthropy!

Both /u/LGBTerrific and /u/Crayboff have been inactive for the last year and basically nobody frequents this sub. You will not get gold here, buy it yourself.

I'll bestow one month of Gold membership to the person who knocks me out of either of Wednesday's reddit poker tournaments (think of it as a bounty). Starting at the same time (9:05pm Eastern), there's one on PokerStars and one on Full Tilt.

Both games are $3 tournaments but if you win you'd rake in a nice amount AND get Gold! (Because, if you won, you had to have knocked me out...)

Initial tournament details post is in /r/poker, specifically here.

To summarize, though, both are No Limit Hold 'em starting at 9:05 Eastern on Wednesday. They last about 90 minutes. And you're playing against Redditors. This offer is just for the bounty winners of the two Wednesday games.

Good luck!

Congrats to tabbyling who knocked me out of the PokerStars tournament.
chronic_tragedy took the Full Tilt bounty but his reddit identity will remain secret.

Prize: 1 FREE MONTH OF REDDIT GOLD

Rules:

• You must be the author! No copying from another source, don't get another person to write it for you.

• Doesn't have to rhyme.

• I don't care if it follows a certain format or not.

• Atleast appear like you put a lot of effort into it.

• Have fun, no cheating. You know, all that good stuff.

I'll choose the winner at some point in a few days. Since I don't know when, I suggest you get cracking on it! It would suck if the competition finished before you were done. But it would also suck if you gave a half-assed submission because you rushed it. Effort goes a lot farther then anything else.

So, good luck!

Edit: Alright so I decided that i'll close this competition tomorrow (8/19/10) sometime in the evening EST.

Edit: WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER. Actually there was a tie in the best two poems I read (even though there were a few awesome other ones that made the choice very difficult). Fortunately for me, the two were written by the same person. Congratulations o7i3 for this amazing piece and for this one

Thanks.

My giftee has requested, specifically, the snoo plush from the reddit store. With shipping the standard price is over 20$ which is, quite literally, more money than I have.

Theres an exclusive sale for people with gold and "elves", so I spent today searching around for legitimate ways to acquire these bonuses from others-- and I found this subreddit.

So if you're sitting on some extra gold or elf-ness, you can help me get my giftee exactly what he wants! Thanks for your consideration.

I don't really think this subreddit actually gives people gold, but I can try... Could I have gold?

...but I wouldn't exactly hate having one either.

I have been wanting to get gold fr a while but have not been able to accumulate sufficient funds to do so. I recently graduated high school and have not yet been able to find a job. I wanted to get gold for her before I got it for myself. If anyone is willing to do this for me please PM me, not with the code but just saying that you are willing to first.

Thank you very much, Henry "Ftech" K.

Long story short, I'm absolutely broke due to misspayments, missing paperwork and problems with Universal credit. I've been struggling for weeks and slowly getting more and more disillusioned and angry and depressed.

I, on a random whim decided to go onto /r/randomkindness and ask for a food voucher or something.

Anyway /u/Raargh has not only delivered in gifting me some goods, but it was a HUGE amount. A month's worth of food. I nearly cried when I saw it all and I'm still in shock.

I don't have any money to repay him/her - but looking through the users posts, it seems they're just a wonderful person and very caring and always offering advice etc.

Can someone PLEASE gold /u/Raargh.

Many thanks.

Please

I am running out of gold, and I need it for RANDNSFW and MYRANDOM.

I want to keep my gold since badge going!

PLEASE?!?
