yeah. Didn't bother to add how much they would cost to complete.

That's some impressively crass hucksterism.

Instead of giving us a Live Draft, New Cards or what ever WE ask for. All WE get is a Scavenger Hunt. When and where is the Easter Egg Hunt? Do I have to PAY for the Eggs I find?

SOM who is your Marketing Person? You actually PAY some one to come up with this. Please give US what we would like.

Hey, if enough of you send me a thousand dollars I guarantee one of you will win at least a hundred.

Is there are an age restriction for "children"? All mine are legal adults.
#25 and #26 -at the mercy of someone else.

If I create a customized shirt, wonder if I can sell it if I make multiple copies.

Post a Facebook status that tags the Strat-O-Matic Facebook page (“Strat-O-Matic Games”) (screenshot).

Does that site with disgruntled strato online players count?

Sorry guys, but these were hard to resist. Can you imagine how much fun Jerry Sheinfeld or George Carlin could have with this.

Focus this on brand awareness and generating social media hits, take out all of the purchase related items and you have a great marketing promotion! Here's how it would have looked:

- Play 3-Minute Baseball and get on the leader board (screenshot).

- Compete in a face-to-face Strat-O-Matic Tournament (photo).

A little better I think and would be more in the "no purchase necessary" realm for most SOM Fans. I suspect the intent was a social media push, that maybe missed the mark a little.

I just knew there would be a positive spin from a member or 2...

Wouldn't creating a customized piece of strat o matic clothing be copyright infringement, landing you in trouble?

They're trying to set us up damnit.
