I’m waiting for my delayed plane at LAX, so I thought it’d be a good time to check the forums.

We’re giving away Blacksmith shaders to seven (7) DBOers tonight. I’ll collect names while I’m on the plane and I’ll randomly select winners when I get home tonight. :)

All you have to do is RSVP to this FTB event: http://destiny.bungie.org/ftb/720

Forum accounts must have been active since today at noon Pacific.

(if you don’t see the event on the main page, check your filter settings for XB1 -- the jerk FTB developer didn’t allow “no platform” as an option. ;-) )

…drum roll…

Here’s what the cards look like. Codes are on the back.

Here are the seven winners of the Blacksmith shader!

• Relativiox
  
• Zero Point Fox
  
• Stuntmutt
  
• Funkmon
  
• ChaosSociety
  
• CougRon
  
• Kermit

Congratulations, you seven! I’ll be sending codes out shortly. If you don’t receive one from me by the morning, please send me an email.

A note on logistics: Results were generated from the list of RSVPs from the original entry with this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM ftb_rsvps WHERE event_id = 720 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 7;

One result was disqualified because the account was created after the contest went live, so an additional query with LIMIT 1 was run to fill in the last spot.

Congratulations to the lucky 7 :)

• Vortech
  
• Dame117

Boom!

This... this is what winning feels like?
Awesome!

Want to correct some slightly erroneous information that I sent out to the winners. Tess Everis does have the shader, but it also appears at the Post Office the first time you log in. Also, it looks like one code activates the shader on ALL platforms linked to your Bungie.net account, so it’ll apply to both Xbox and PlayStation if you have both linked!

Well, that is nice! I entered because I actually preordered Call of Duty and got this shader...then when I upgraded to Xbox One I got locked out of it. It was gone. My fave shader! Gone!

Unoudid had the same problem! I'm glad to see they've fixed it now.

On a night where one-third of my Raid team got Vex Mythoclasts (and I got two pairs of gloves), it's nice to learn that at least the DBO RNG likes me.

I actually have it. But it's system locked to the xbone ;)

It's a great shader that I would love to have available on the 360 since I play there so much.

Out of 11 winners, I only failed to recognize 2 names. I call shenanigans!

;)

Congrats everyone!

Can confirm.

Awesome! Thanks for hosting this contest!

Quick question, how are you sending the codes, email? I haven't seen one yet, but maybe you haven't processed the second set of winners.

Thanks again for your generosity!

It couldn't have happened to nicer people. I hope you guys like the shader.

I didn't know there was a SQL query variable for "nice" I need to brush up on my SQL!

He sent mine through the built in DBO forum mailer.

Probably a stupid question, but where does one go to check the forum mailer?

Your e-mail client? The mail goes to whatever address you provided.

I've been checking the email associated with my DBO account. Nothing so far (already checked spam folder).

Maybe just hasn't been sent yet.

I should let Beorn answer, but in your case I'd check Bungie.net or your xbox account. I would have sent it to one of those since you haven't provided an e-mail address here.

If you don't have one in either of those places, I would send Beorn an e-mail (click his name here, use the site's emailer).

I don't seen an e-mail associated with your account. Don't assume Beorn can see it.

It's hashtagiconicbanana@gmail.com ;)

Someone had already taken iconicbanana@gmail.com, which is bullshit.

Ah, that is likely the problem. I didn't realize it wasn't showing. Thanks!

I used the verified email address you provided when you set up your forum account (the admins can see/change your email even if you don’t have ‘contact me’ enabled for the forum).

However, it sounds like a bunch of messages I sent via my bungie.org address didn’t go through, so if you did not receive your code, please email me at beorn@bungie.org and I’ll get it sorted out.
