JadeCon ’08 – The Quote Menace

It’s Sunday morning and we’re starting the Post-Con Depression Kick-Off Breakfast.  Once again, it appears we were foiled by actually having fun (and those annoyingly addictive Olympics) and prevented from blogging.  Since clean-up is about to begin, I thought I’d capture the remaining quotes from the weekend that were taped on to the wood-paneled wall with painter’s tape.  (We won’t cause any duct tape damage this year!)  We might have some good quotes from PCD Breakfast, but we’ll be too depressed to capture them.

LOTF week: Invincible giveaway!

TEASER: InvincibleClubJade.net has teamed up with NJOE and EU Cantina to bring you… Well, it was originally supposed to be a week – of fun as we gear up for the finale of Legacy of the Force series.

We’re first on the fire with a giveaway of the book itself – Invincible by Troy Denning. No, you won’t get it early, but it will be for free – and we’ll even spring for one-day shipping from Amazon.com.

How do you win this fabulous prize? It’s really quite simple: Comment on this very entry, telling us what you like best about Legacy of the Force. Comments will close at midnight (Eastern) May 9th, and the winner will be picked (based on their comment number) by the fearless and inventive random number generator.

Fine print: One-day shipping offer applies to U.S. addresses only. Please use a valid e-mail address and NO SPOILERS. Only one comment per person, please – and be aware that if you haven’t commented on ClubJade.net before, your entry will have to be approved before it appears. (We reserve the right to reject inappropriate comments, including Invincible spoilers.) All entries will be approved before random.org is consulted. The winner will be contacted on May 10th, and must reply before May 12th or another will be chosen. Direct questions to dunc@clubjade.net.

FRIDAY, MAY 10th 12:01am: Comments are closed.

SATURDAY, MAY 11th: We have a winner!

Last call for Revelation poll!

Our second sidebar poll expires at midnight (Eastern) tonight, so get your answer in while you still can. The next one relates to last night’s Stargate: Atlantis season final. (Don’t worry – Paula wrote it.)

Poll: Indy IV smashes all competition

IMAGE: Pie Chart! The poll closed at midnight yesterday, and what 132 CJ readers are looking forward to the most for this year is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indy IV took an early lead and stayed the top pick all week, ending with 53 votes. The Clone Wars finished second, with 34 votes, closely followed by the finale of Legacy of the Force with 31 votes. And The Force Unleashed takes up the rear, with only 11 votes.

Be sure to vote in the new poll, What did you think of Legacy of the Force: Revelation? It will run through March 9th.

Democracy comes to ClubJade.net!

Take a look over at the sidebar, and vote in our first poll, ‘What are you most looking forward to in 2008?’

It’s not technically our first poll, as old-timers may recall, but that was back when the site was teal and at a URL I no longer remember and thus can’t look up on the Wayback Machine.

Future polls will (hopefully) be slightly more imaginative.

New year, new blog

OH HI I UPGRADED YOUR RAMIt’s not quite the new year yet, but switching over the blog after a few drinks didn’t seem like the wisest course I could take. (CJers, see the list for user instructions.)

There are still some issues, but it seems to be working… And now you know why posting over the last few months has been rather sparse!
