Earlier me and Damac posted a giveaway of BO3 beta codes on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Call0fDutyWiki/status/593157549815377922) and we got to talking about how we could do a larger scale giveaway. Maybe on the wiki and twitter because it's great for views, publicity and followers.
Damacs suggestion was maybe a digital copy of COD:AW, I had the idea that we could get multiple wiki members to donate money, however little or much they want. That way we don't have to have one use fork out 40 quid because we can instead get 20 users to fork out £2.50 or something.
Idk just an idea for now, any suggestions and thoughts etc leave it below. N7 [T|C] 21:44, April 28, 2015 (UTC)

I'd honestly think that this wouldn't really work. How is the giveaway going to be fair? How are we going todo it? What about the non PC players? Twig (Talk) 21:48, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Our beta giveaway is done by RTs, the people who retweet are put into a generator and picked at random. We could do the same for other twitter giveaways. As for the PC thing, you can easily get digital codes for games on XB1 and PS4. N7 [T|C] 22:09, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- I was more thinking of the lines of the whole "[...] larger scale giveaway. Maybe on the wiki" part. How would we make the giveaway fair here? Twig (Talk) 22:20, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Pretty easy, just do a generic question in a blog like "What is your favourite CoD character?" and then grab usernames from the replies and put them into a generator. I don't think the problem here is how to do the giveaway but how to get the actual thing to giveaway. N7 [T|C] 08:08, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

If we're giving away a game, why not wait until BO3 gets released and do a giveaway then? Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 23:35, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Because that's November which is bloody ages away. Why not do something now to gain popularity etc before the release of BO3? Many people are saying the Wiki is dying (which might be a bit over the top) so a bit more attention/popularity can't be a bad thing. N7 [T|C] 08:08, April 29, 2015 (UTC)
How about we do a giveaway similar to this? Capt. MillerTalk 08:12, April 29, 2015 (UTC)
