FAQs

1 Do I have to follow @TheSuggmeister?

  No. You could just set your Twitter search to "@TheSuggmeister OR #defconTH"

 

2 What can I win?

  Well, there's a very limited number of Defcon-ized skateboard decks like these...

 

...and this...

 

  ... and there's at least one deck (like this), autographed by the legend himself Tony Hawk.

 

 

3  When's it running?

   Friday 30th, Saturday 31st and Sunday 1st... at any time.

 

4  Not Thursday?

   No. Sorry.

 

5  How will I know if a prize has been found?

   I'll tweet, starting with "FOUND".

 

Tony Hawk does a Twitter Hunt, aren't you just copying?

    Yes, totally. Come and see my talk and you'll get the history.

 

Why are you using your own account, are you just trying to get followers?

   No. It was a schoolboy error in setting up the event in a bit of a rush... you don't have to follow. If the event's a success and if we do it next year, we'll have an extra special account setup.

 

8  Why?

   Come and see my talk and you'll get the history.

 

And there's no catch?

   Nope. Enjoy.
