Names, Names, Names, Names, Names. Last week, we announced that we are changing the name of this little contest from “The Smart Rewards Challenge Thingy” to “Swaganigans.” And everyone was really really nice about it. Congrats ladies, gents and others! Because you were all so nice, you can now accept challenges involving the naming of bigger and better things.

This Week’s Swaganigan Challenge 

In case you have not yet guessed it, this week’s Swaganigans Contest is to give the official blog of Swagbucks a new name. 

In the comments below, write down either your most serious or witty attempt at a name, along with a brief explanation about why you like it… the key word their being “brief,” ok Batty?  But don’t tell us which is which, satirical or serious. It will be more fun that way. Like a giant week long game of Balderdash.

Extra SB for not using the word “SWAG” or “BUCKS.”

Prizes

First-prize winner gets a 4000 SB plus the honor of having their blog name used as a Swag Code. The submission with the most likes will also win 4000 SB. Provided that both entries are of a serious naming convention (and not chosen for being witty or satirical) we will face them off in a daily poll, perhaps amongst other name ideas, perhaps not. If either winners name gets chosen as the new name then, and only then, do they get to ride a Swagbucks luck dragon and chase down their enemies into a dumpster. Other runners-up receive 1000 SB. Members that get posted are immediately given entry into a select group club of “posters,” all of whom are competing for the coveted Poster of the Year (member who gets posted the most). Is anyone keeping track?

Guidelines

Winners will either be be selected on the basis of  humor, wit, wisdom and originality or on clever serious name choices and originality.  Write your entries in the comments below. 11 entries max. Please include your Swagname, city & state at the end of each entry. Entries must be posted on or before Sunday, July 5t at 11:59pm (in whatever time zone you happen to be in). Judges reserve the right to alter entries for taste, humor or appropriateness. No purchase necessary. Employees of Prodege LLC and members of their immediate families are not eligible for prizes.

Now it’s time to take a look back at last weeks Swaganigans.

Professor Jockey and Last Week’s Winners:

I bet you thought that the Swaggodore would announce the winners this week. Nope! Wrong again! I’m back to announce. I’m back to announce and judge. Here I am, judging all of you. Finding all of your faults and pointing them out. Well here are some SB to those of you with the least amount of faults:

The Most Likes (500 SB or a limited-edition Swaganigans Mouse Pad or pen signed by Tapito Brunner when possible):

Swagbucks Daily Poll: Where a penny for your thoughts means what it says. (SeanDenny)

First Runner Up (2200 SB):

Everyday Swagbucks helps me to Discover Special offers that don’t offer anything special. (WardoSmash, Oak Lawn, IL)

Grand Prize (3500 SB and your name used as a Swag Code):

Thank God I don’t have any illnesses or I might’ve qualified for one those 200 point surveys! (Jessacuh)

Additional Runners Up (1000 SB each): 

Swagbucks surveys are so fun, they are over before you even start! (beachy111, Palos Verdes, CA)

If Shop & Earn credited properly every time, then it wouldn’t allow me the chance to make some friends at Swagbucks Customer Service! They are such a great team and probably never thanked enough for their dedication to our great Swagbucks experience. (Blu3yez, Bountiful, UT)

The lack of number of free to play swag games just makes me better at the ones there are. 🙂 (ziastarr, Fallbrook, CA)

Honorable Mentions (10 SB each):

•Swagbucks enCrave activities are like going to your relative’s house for Christmas: You have about a 50/50 shot of liking what you get, you can make money of it regardless, and your whole family gets to share in the joy. (MChason)

•Thomas Edison supposedly had 10,000 failures before inventing the light bulb. So, if you replace “failures” with “survey disqualifications” and replace “inventing the light bulb” with “earning any Swagbucks”, then I’m pretty much Thomas Edison. Wow, I’m a genius. (SwagDiggler, Atlanta, GA)

•one of the great thing about swagbucks is I learned how to take screenshots and upload pictures. Seriously, I never knew how to do that before. (andrea11pink, Flemington, NJ)

•Swagbucks Surveys always help to inspire wonder. I wonder if I’ll get DQ’d. I wonder why they keep asking me my age. I wonder how long the 5 minute survey will actually take… (WardoSmash, Oak Lawn, IL)

•Swagbucks is like a can of Pringles. At first you can easily eat all the chips off the top, but after a while, you can’t get them out anymore…until you figure out you can just tip the can over. (GabrWald)

•Swagbucks is just like pizza. When it’s good it’s great and when it’s bad…it’s still pretty good! (Smogcity)

•Thanks so much for giving us device-specific swagbucks opportunities… they make all my electronics feel loved and appreciated. (timidmouse, Longwood, FL)

IN CONCLUSION

This time we can all truly say… good luck…we are all counting on you.

Lady Elocine:
Prof Jockey, why do you look so sad?

He takes off the Swag Icon and hands it to her. She looks at it, and then him for an explanation.

Prof Jockey:
I have failed you Lady Elocine.

Lady Elocine:
No, you haven’t. You’ve brought them with you.

Prof Jockey:
Who ?

Lady Elocine:
The members. The ones who can save us all.

Prof Jockey:
You knew about the members?!

Lady Elocine:
Of course. I know everything.

(Prof Jockey grows angry with her)

Prof Jockey:
My horse died, I nearly drowned in enCraves, and I just barely got away from my SB not redeeming. For what ?! To find out what you already knew ?!

Lady Elocine:
It was the only way to get in touch with a member.

Prof Jockey:
But I didn’t get in touch with any members!

Lady Elocine:
Yes, you did.

A member sits up slowly as we hear what she’s saying.

Lady Elocine:
This member has suffered with you. He or she went through everything you went through. And now, they have come here with you. They are very close. Listening to every word that we say.

Prof Jockey looks around, as does she.

The Member:
What ?!

Two channels of Discover collide and explode shaking the Swag Blog Violently.

Prof Jockey:
Where is this member? If they are so close, why doesn’t he or she arrive ?!

Lady Elocine:
The member doesn’t realize that they are already a part of the Swagbucks Story

Prof Jockey:
The Swagbucks Story what’s that ?

Lady Elocine:
Just as they he or she is sharing all your adventures, other members are sharing his or hers. They were with him/her when s/he hid from the agents in compliance.

Member:
But that’s impossible!

Lady Elocine:
They were with him/her when s/he signed up for the website with the Swag Icon  on the homepage, in which s/he’s online reading his/her own story right now.

Member:
I can’t believe it, they can’t be talking about me.

The Swag Blog cracks. Prof Jockey turns around to see where it cracked, then he turns back to Lady Elocine.

Prof Jockey:
What will happen if he/she doesn’t appear?!

Lady Elocine:
Then our world will disappear, and so will I.

Prof Jockey:
How can s/he let that happen ?!

Lady Elocine:
S/he doesn’t understand that s/he’s the one who has the power to stop it. S/he simply can’t imagine that one Swagbucks Member could be that important.

Member:
Is it really me ?

Prof Jockey:
Maybe he doesn’t know what he has to do !

Member:
What do I have to do ?!

Lady Elocine:
He has to give this blog a new name. S/he’s already chosen it, s/he just has to call it out.

Member:
It’s only a blog post, it’s not real. It’s only a blog post.

The Swag Blog shakes and cracks some more. Prof Jockey falls over backward and is knocked unconscious.

Member:
Prof Jocjey ! NO!

Lady Elocine:
Prof Jockey!

EXT. VIEW- the home page is losing its most earnable offer cards. Because of the members new found disbelief the Nothing-to-earn has grown stronger and is now attacking the last remaining part of Swagbucks.

Lady Elocine:
Dear member, why don’t you do what you dream, member ?

Member:
But I can’t ! I have to keep my feet on the ground! Earn whatever SB are left and cash them out quickly for gift cards!

Lady Elocine:
Say the name ! Please ! Save us !

Member:
All right, I’ll do it. I’ll save you. I will do what I dream!
