Some of you may recall last year we created a Star Wars contest timed with the release of the Last Jedi. There were a total of four premium memberships up for grabs, with only one claimed (for a brilliant Farce Be With You trophy). That leaves three memberships that are still up for grabs, so we're doing another quick contest.

419 Eater Sign Contest

The rules are simple - Your lad holding a sign that includes "419 Eater"

The sign can say 419 Eater on it's own, or as part of a phrase. Or, you can get creative and incorporate it into a logo as DSW famously did with his lad who got a tattoo of the name re-imagined as a Bible verse,

Contest Duration: May 5 - June 5

Prizes: The first three baiters who get this trophy will each get a year premium membership.

What do you get with premium: With premium membership, you get increased private message capability, web space, access to premium baiting tools, discussion area for your baits where the lads can't see, a cool custom tag, and, most importantly, all premium donations support both 419eater and ScamWarners.com.

If you'd like to take part in this contest and are not sure how to get a lad to create a sign for you, feel free to ask for help in this thread and/or sign up for a mentor.

Tips for getting your lad to send you a custom sign trophy (other baiters, feel free to add to this in the comments):

1. Seed the idea early on so that it doesn't seem outlandish when you ask. For example, maybe you belong to the 419th chapter of the E.A.T.E.R. church and you're celebrating this new growth by doing donations, etc.
2. Let the ask for the sign come up naturally. So using the example above, you'd talk about your excitement about the church giving programs, etc. and then when the lad wants in on the money, you bring in the requirement that he "show his sincerity" with the sign, etc.
3. Make the lad show you the sign as penance. This works well with romance lads. Your character "catches" them in a lie and then refuses to believe anything they say until they prove themselves by sending a photo they took just for you.
4. Recognize which lads are less likely to send signs. For example, if you have a lad who is pretending to be a white male and he's black (or vice versa) you're going to be less likely to get a selfie. You can still do it, however, if you call him out on his fake picture and follow tip #3.
5. Mention the sign incidentally. For example, during the Christmas contest, I had my lad dress up in a Santa costume after chatting with him for a while about our church's annual Dress as Santa party. Later I mentioned the prize for best Santa is $500. And last year only 5 people entered. And my character, as a woman couldn't enter. And photos of significant others who were traveling were accepted. This led the lad to realize he could dress up as Santa and help my character claim the prize.

Lads Google and if you type 419eater into any search engine you'll quickly see our site. So that's part of the challenge with this one. You can get around this in a few ways:
1. Incorporate the name into a picture and send as a jpeg for them to print or copy. They're less likely to google an image or text that's part of an image.
2. Break up the name visually and/or with punctuation to make them less likely to google or the results less googleable. For example, maybe your character is Edmond Ater and a special day for you is April 19th. 4/19 E. ATER.
3. Like with the sign, introduce the modality from the beginning if possible so it doesn't seem odd later.

Contest runs until June 5! Have fun. Very Happy

65 views and no comments? Someone has to go for this. We need lads proudly promoting 419 Eater. Laughing

I may try if I have time. I wonder if there's some way we could get the trophy out of Ezze without him twigging on us. I wouldn't risk it, but I've already started sending blind messages out to random lads about my church fundraiser and honoring the great cardinal's birthday, which happens to be 4/19.

I just had a lad resurface after a couple of weeks disappearance. I will try to get him on board for this. I don't need a premium membership but another trophy couldn't hurt.

Very Happy

I'm really working on this, but it's just for fun. I already have Premium membership. clapping

In a message to Ezze, father Elephterie wrote:

At this very crucial moment for you, your happiness and your victory can be materialized through the next passage of the Bible:

Eater (4.19): And the LORD said to Moses: "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead!"

Your enemies (the terrorists of Akwoodi) have been defeated by the power of your Faith, and you can go home, to your family and to your wonderful life. You are blessed now!
For the church Panel of Honor, as a personal celebration of yours victory, I need you to send me a picture of yourself and that wonderful Bible verse that suits you current situation perfectly.

Come on people! you can do this.

I whipped this together in about five minutes:

Then, this lad wanted to prove he ate Fish and could be a Fisher of Men.

This lad gets creative:

For those that are attempting this contest ...set it up early in the bait (as has been said, but this will get your pic!) or get your lad so close to the payoff that they will do anything for the money.

Oldie, but goodie:

CC lads are good for a pic or three if you set it up right.

Birlic if you won and don't want the premium for yourself you can always give it to a baiter of your choice.

DSW just a bit too old as the contest just started this month. 😂 But it is masterful.

I have another lad I can try this on. You know the one.

Posted: Sun May 13, 2018 1:46 pm

This came in today. The lad had to prove commitment by writing the first letters of sacred wedding vows which were originally in Latin. Of course this task would be to difficult for him, so to make it easier he could use this format. He first made a bunch of pictures that were not what I requested. Then I had to threaten him to blow the whole wedding off, sent him a pdf format for him to print and finally he delivered.

The vows, as I told him were the most sacred part of the wedding ceremony. The pastor would read them, as a promise and blessing and of course, to show commitment, a future husband must read them in church, before witnesses to his bride-to-be, before the whole process leading to marriage could even start. In this case of course, this part was not possible, so he had to make a picture for me to show to the witnesses.

The vows from chapter 4:19 of the holy liturgy are:
Sacri vinculi caritae vestrae erit:
Eternam,
Aecum,
Transparent,
Expletio,
Redundantia

Meaning:
The sacred bond of your love will be:
Eternal,
honest,
transparent,
fulfillment,
overflowing

Finally some fun use for those Latin lessons Laughing

I want to donate my prize to MrMystery314 because, I enjoyed the Ezze bait so much (and the other baiters involved are already premium members.
A custom tag would be cool, but the rest I don't need (and I don't want to know what I would be missing after a year). Enjoy and keep up the good work!

Meet Miller R. Frederick, a nice chap who wanted to open a new parish of the Eater Church in Nigeria.

He was contacted a while by Kirk, who was looking for a partner to help scam the Eater church. Miller was up for it!

Of course, in order to scam the Church, Miller first had to join it. Rev. Leonard wanted to see his new savior holding the glorious ID Card. Miller messed up at first, sending fake photos to Leonard, and then begging Kirk to "do something" when he realized his mistake. Kirk worked on a Photoshop plan to faceswap a picture of the actual Miller with the fake Miller. And ta-daa, Miller delivered on those pictures, finally.

It's been a pretty funny ride so far. Highlights have been when Miller sends emails to Leonard meant for Kirk, and of course when Miller first learnt that his unique ID was #419!

Quote:

Told Me My ID CARD NUMBER IS (419)... Are You Sure He's For REAL.. Or You Too Are Pulling My Legs.. Please Let Me Know..

Not bad for my first sign trophies Laughing
