This month's backlog challenge is going to be a little different. As usually, the objective is just to beat games and post about it here for a chance to win fabulous prizes.
PRIZE #1 - Defeat Rajaah Challenge (WINNER-TAKE-ALL) - Going off of Howlongtobeat.com times and adding up scores as in previous challenges, except instead of a weighted random-off, this prize just goes directly to whoever has the highest score. $50 in whatever form you want: Gift card, Paypal, kilos,

bathwater. The twist is that I can win this one! So you quite literally have to defeat me, the Backlog Challenge Final Boss. The good news is that I'll be moderately busy this month so the odds are pretty much against me, but when I do get to game, I go fast. If I win, I save $50, and a penny saved is a penny earned.
Prize #2 - Normal Backlog Challenge (WEIGHTED/RANDOMIZED) - A normal end-of-month weighted raffle with a prize of $50 in whatever form you want. As this is weighted, we're counting Howlongtobeat.com times as scores and adding it up that way to get a rough idea of the general size of the prey that you're bagging (or finishing bagging, as it were). Even if you only have one game on the board, you're included and have a chance, while people with more points will have a much higher chance of winning the raffle/prize. I'll be exempt from this challenge and won't be included in the final roll-off, obviously, so it's guaranteed to be someone who isn't me.
PRIZE #3 - "Everyone's A Winner" Participation Award (RANDOMIZED) - Now in Double or Nothing mode! Everyone with at least one game gets rolled off with equal chances for victory. I'm excluded from this one as well, obviously. This prize is determined last so that it doesn't lock out a potential winner for the top two prizes. Prize for this one is a cool $50, you filthy animals.
The prizes will go out in the first couple days of June. The same person can't win more than one prize, as that would defeat the spirit of the challenge. The first one is the only one I can win. ALSO, if anyone has any suggestions or things to add, now is the time to do it, before this really gets underway.
INSTRUCTIONS: After beating a game, post a screenshot of your finished trophy or other proof of completion (for a particularly large game that doesn't have timestamped trophies, like a Monster Hunter Tri on Wii kind of thing, consider posting a picture with that day's date included. Also Voter ID is required and mail-in ballots will not be tolerated). Consider sharing stories about how long the game was backlogged if it's been any real length of time, why it took a while to get to it, your struggles, etc.
You don't need to post any HLTB times in the actual posts or keep a tally running, unless you want to, as that'll all be added up at the end anyway and it just creates more work for people while they're posting. However DO make sure that your post includes this image at the bottom, or it may be missed during counting:

Can we get this thread pinned as the new backlog thread please, TY!
