LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

Re. the latest DDMS add, how exactly do they plan on giving the winner of the "100k amex points" the actual prize?

Saw the flyer at shul, was thinking the same. I'm assuming they are giving the equivalent in cash, or someone will book 100k out of their account.

Equivalent in cash is just a cash prize then, nothing to do with amex. Having what booked? How exactly would that work? A transfer to one of your own airline accounts could possibly work although I think that's a terrible idea for a raffle prize, too many things can go wrong.

Why is it a terrible idea? They should just put stipulations of how it can be redeemed (like all at once) and an expiration date to use them, the winner says how they want to redeem it, and the owner of the points books the flights (or hotel) for them. It's just like all these "2 tickets to Israel" prizes except this can be used for one 1 business class seat to Israel or 10 cheap flights on JetBlue.  We've had a 5 night Hilton stay (anywhere in the world) as a main prize of our auction (and also did a DDMS ad) and it did well and wasn't hard to arrange at all.

Also you'd be shocked how people choose to redeem these prizes and it's not in a way to maximize their value...most prize winners aren't savvy DDFers.

This is exactly my point, since the majority of people aren't going to be able to know what to do with them, let alone maximize the value, it seems like a waste of money to me. Sure someone with the knowledge can maximize the value but said person can also take $1500 cash and buy the miles if they wanted. A 5 night hilton stay anywhere in the world is a lot easier to deal with, the winner picks a hotel and, based in availability, you book it for then, pretty simple. Having MR as a prize is not the same thing.

Spoiler alert. Most auctions offer cash values of many of their items.

I'm aware, doesn't negate my point.

You're not incorrect but your missing the perspective of the "seller" here...this is prize isn't costing them $1500 and the donor might not prefer to donate cash...also even though it might be counter intuitive its often more exciting to win a prize that can't just be spent on grocery or bills but has to be used for something more "frivolous" or fun.

For a bland tasting vegetable, cucumbers are quite feisty.
