Heroes,

Yesterday, I detailed the current sweepstakes but this post will be entirely bullet notes. Here goes.

-Everyone who is Steam-friends with me (spec/spectre_howhegivesawayfreeshit) got a free entry into this give-away. It is *one entry that is not multiplied by group-tier*. Any entry after that requires you inviting one member. One member=one entry.

-For A-tiers (assuming they get a member to join), that's 2 entries. For S-tiers (supra.), it's 5. For Cheddar Bob and spec, it's SEVEN BECAUSE WE ARE THE O.G.'s. If you do not know about the tier-rank-thing, see the Bizon Heroes Hall of Fame in the discussion threads. Also READ PP-BIZON 101 I GIVE AWAY FREE STEAM POINTS TO ANY COMMENTS/NEW POSTS/THERE'S SO MANY SECRETS IN THERE.

-To be entered for the grand prize (Bratatat Fac New/Nebula Crusader .01), a member must *recruit at least ten members, regardless of tier-rank, before the end of the sweepstakes. Reason: the grand prize is worth almost five-times any of Bizon Heroes' previous grand prizes.

-One person on the market is actually selling the Nebula Crusader (5/29) for over $350 and all I can say is: it doesn't have any stickers and its float could not be better, logically, thank a .01. Right? Right.

-Spec may actually increase the sweepstakes-length for entries (depends on how many people enter!) so *EVERYONE* gets a chance to win what is literally the most 'collectable' skin I've ever found playing CS:GO. Or to put it another way, unboxing a .01 is in someways, rarer than unboxing a vanilla-knife. Actually, the odds are about as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ either way. Point is, this is good ♥♥♥♥.

-As you get people to join, REMIND THEM OF WHY YOU INVITED THEM. COLLUDE. They can...enter too. That's the point. And honestly, I do this because it makes me feel like Santa-Claus.

-If you're a new member, check to make sure you have admin rights because uh, all Bizon Heroes are admins. Your permissions are limited but hey, you're still an admin in a fairly big group on Steam. It's cool. One thing you can all do though is INVITE WHOMEVER YOU DEEM WORTHY. I believe in you.

-As of today, shout-outs to our first entries: Wizard and Miya. Miya now has three entries. Wizard? He's got six. Oh yeah. How many entries do I have in total, you might ask? Answer as of right now: exactly ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY. That's dope.

-I'll try not to repeat much in these posts (if you have any questions, first see the announcement prior to this one) but as always, feel free to message me and remember: at all times, if any member of this group hits 10,000 kills on a stat-track Bizon, you get instant Bizon-Hero-O.G. status *AND* on my honor and love for the Bizon, I will personally buy you a new Bizon unless you just want me to do some sticker craft on yours. Winner's choice, and what not.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK. ONE LOVE. SPEC OUT.

Heroes,

This will not be short and I have too much new ♥♥♥♥ to talk about so, let's not waste time. In short, we've got a quick rank-recal (more like, I created a global elite in this group), we've got an update about the sweepstakes and most importantly, I have all the values/wears/grades of the skins ready to copy and paste. Let's begin.

First up, we have a new *tier* in Bizon-heroes and while it has the usual rewards, *IF ANYONE GETS TO BIZON-HERO O.G. STATUS AT ANY-TIME, SPEC WILL PERSONALLY BUY YOU A STAT-TRACK BIZON OF YOUR CHOICE OFF THE MARKET.* Seriously. I'm that guy. Don't believe me? ASK CHEDDAR BOB. HE HAS A BIZON, the ANTIQUE, that I NAMED BIZON HERO O.G. YOU CAN GET ONE TOO!

To get to Bizon-Hero-O.G., well, check the Bizon Heroes Hall of Fame. There is one requirement. None of you, except me and Cheddar Bob, have it. Take a guess. Not only will such folks be rewarded with *seven times the entries they themselves get* but also, well, I'm not repeating what I just said but here's more on tier-ranks real quick.

S-tiers get FIVE TIMES the entries they themselves get for a sweepstakes. A-tiers get TWO TIMES the entries they themselves get for a sweepstakes. BIZON HERO O.G.'s get SEVEN TIMES THE ENTRIES. You get it.

To get to A-tier, recruit a member. To get to S-tier, I've detailed how to do this too many times so GO TO THE BIZON HEROES HALL OF FAME. It has all the questions/answers you need. Moving on, the sweepstakes. It's on. It's also officially, GOING TO LAST THROUGH THE END OF JULY: FINAL ENTRY DATE IS NOW 7/28.

Reason: I already have more entries than I have counted and more importantly, to be entered for the grand prize (the first two skins I list after the dashes): A MEMBER MUST RECRUIT A MINIMUM OF *TEN MEMBERS* IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS. TIER-RANKS DO NOT APPLY EXCEPT FOR THE OTHER FOURTEEN SKINS/ONLY TO ENTRIES YOU GET.

"How do I get entries?"

Recruit a member. I'll see it. When they join, it's an entry. No cap. Once you get 10, you are S-tier and including the freebie everyone got: congrats, that's 51 entries and a shot at...the most expensive stat-track LMG skins on the effing market. I'm wild.

For the other 14 skins, technically, you're likely entered but your tier-rank does not/never applies to free entries like the ones I gave to all my steam friends in this group. In other words, if you do not recruit, your chances of winning anything, regardless of tier-rank are roughly 1-3%. Not good.

So, TL;DR: today is the first day of entries and the last day I'll accept them is Friday, July 28th at 12AM EST. Without further ado, the skins being given away this drop and I'll repeat one last time: if you want the chance to win...over 30$ worth of skins/the grand prize, see the above requirement.

Side note: you do *NOT* need to notify spec of your entries, except, for the grand prize because I'M ENTERING FOR THAT ONE ALONE FOLKS. Can you beat...the founder of this group/co-founder cheddar bob at their own game? I'm excited to find out.

As always: HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND MAY THE BIZON EVER BE IN YOUR FAVOR. One love. Spec out.

Bizon Heroes--New and Old, Young and Older-still...

In case you missed it, well, two things. No. Three.

Happy Friday, first. Hope u r good. Spec is good. V good. So good. Now, two things.

One: the third-annual Bizon Heroes Sweepstakes, the Heavy-Class, begins this Sunday.

Entries will be counted until 6/28 at 12 AM EST. The grand-prize winner, I decided, could be ME. That's right: I'm EFFING ENTERING MY OWN SWEEPSTAKES. More on that...Sunday. On Sunday, I'll list the values of all the skins/the skin names/wear/maybe float if I'm not too high.

Two: if you are friends with me on Steam, congrats. You've already entered, at least, for 14 of the 16 skins *NOW VIEWABLE ON SPEC'S PROFILE.*

The skins being given away this sweepstakes are in spec's *SECOND PROFILE SHOWCASE.* Not the first one.

The SECOND PROFILE SHOWCASE (scroll a bit). It's the one with the hearts/sword thing that I use in my gd announcements, folks. It's the one that is solely Negevs/M249s/shot-guns. The. Second. One.

Spoiler: the grand prize is two skins and one of them is, somehow, a .001 float M249. Yep.

It's also the rarest skin in the game for this weapon, at least, according to the steam-market/my research. I've seen it once before, I think. No, seriously. Anywho.

For this sweepstakes, as always, there is *no cap* for entries. And to repeat, those will officially be taken/start/invite people and just tell me/on Sunday (or before the end of the sweepstakes).

"How do I enter?" Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Add me as a friend. If you are already friends with me, you have exactly one entry.

Want more than *one entry*? Recruit *one* member. No cap.

Tier ranks apply and if you get 10 members to join, including the one freebie you likely have, that is exactly...51 entries and you get to be memorialized in the Bizon-Heroes hall of fame. Currently, over 150 people have entered and do not even know. I'm friends with about 65% of the people in this group but I'll just add that the free-entries do not apply to tier-rank because I wanted to be like 'yeah you're all getting rewarded, in theory, solely for being in this group.' But for the grand prize? Different story but no more spoilers.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. ONE LOVE. SPEC OUT.

PS. If you have any questions about...anything related to the sweepstakes/Bizon Heroes/ask me about the PP-Bizon, respond here, message me, whatever. I'm down to clown. PEACE.

Heroes,

First, boy-oh-boy, pro-league was nuts this major. GL in the gd grand finale? Yeah, y'all know damn well I'm a proud Heroic fan-boy but I also like Vitality (and GL, actually). Ultimately, well, the 0-2 spoke for itself today. Great job, ZywoO et al.!

Anywho, let's skip to the point: I have a huge announcement. Big one. Biggest one I've ever made, actually. Weirdest part is it will only be a sentence.

*ENTRIES FOR THE NEXT BIZON-HEROES SWEEPSTAKES WILL BEGIN...(SPEC RANDOMLY PICKS A DAY)...NEXT SUNDAY, 5/28.*

For this sweepstakes, I'm feeling super generous. You know what? We're going full-psycho this time. But first, I will also quickly repeat the tier-rank-thing/how to get there (if your name is not in the Bizon Heroes Hall of Fame, you are B-tier). If you already know, skip to the bold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIZON HERO TIER-RANK REQUIREMENTS/PERKS:

A-tier: recruit one member.
A-tiers get 2 times the entries *they themselves get.*

S-tier: recruit 10 members, gift a fellow Bizon hero a skin and tell Spec/prove it to spec, get TEN THOUSAND kills on a stat-track Bizon, or, find a cheater in our ranks (like...with a ban on their profile) and kick them. Also message Spec if you do this last one but be warned: if you kick an innocent person, I will kick you/permaban you from this group. Don't test my patience.
S-tier members get 5 times the entries *they themselves get*. But here's the thing...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR THIS DROP...EVERYONE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH ME ON STEAM GETS EXACTLY ONE ENTRY SOLELY FOR BEING IN THIS GROUP. Consider it my love-letter to you, or what-not. A thank you, if you will.

To say this another way, regardless of tier-rank, *all PP-Bizon Heroes that are currently friends with Spec get one FREE entry.* Perks of knowing the founder, I guess.

Thing is, if you don't recruit anyone, uh, any S-tier/A-tier member will get claim to the skins/get a choice. Speaking of which...

I HAVE PURCHASED 50% of the skins aslready (hidden in one of my storage cases until the GRAND REVEAL). The two grand-prizes will be a FACTORY NEW STAT TRACK NEGEV AND M249. No, not one, BOTH.

In total, there are two skins for each shotgun, and four for both the aforementioned LMGS (8 shotgun skins, 8 LMGS). In total, 16 skins will be gifted away and I will be announcing the skins/wears (90% fac new) before entries begin sometime next week (probably Friday!). Here's the TL;DR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How do I enter?"

Are you friends with me/in this group? Then you have already entered. However, this entry *does not* reflect or impact your tier-rank in this group. And just like last time, this time, there is *NO CAP FOR ENTRIES, I WILL COUNT THEM ALL.* Any entry you get yourself will reflect your tier-rank (S-tiers get 5 entries for RECRUITING ONE MEMBER, A-tiers get TWO). B-tiers get NOTHING. Well, except this time, kinda-sorta, considering the majority of entries this time are *not* S-tier/A-tier! V EXCITING!

"Do I need to add members as an S-tier?"

Yes and no. I mean, if you're S-tier you're DEFINITELY already entered but, unfortunately, you do not get the five-times-the-entry benefit because I gave everyone a freebie. So, in short, you *should* recruit but, it's also not *necessary* to enter. It is, definitely, necessary if you want more than (looks at entries) a 3-8% chance of winning *ANYTHING at all.*

*WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED...A MONTH FROM NEXT SUNDAY, 6/29, ENTRY DEADLINE IS 6/28 AT 12AM EST.*

If you want an entry that does impact/is impacted by your rank, *add at least one member.* You can get to S-tier in any drop/A-tier as well. Do it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I figured this would be a nice way to be like 'thanks for rocking the tag/you don't have to actually recruit to win but you do if you want the dopest skins.'

I also did this to say 'this sweepstakes already has more entries, in total and collectively, than any past sweepstakes by Bizon Heroes.' I'm also going to drop big $$$ on the M249/Negev grand prize so, look forward to that waste of money. We love it.

QUESTIONS? CONCERNS? Did you know the PP-Bizon's max-running-speed is *the same* as the MAC-10 and MP9? Please know this. For me.

Anyway, that's all for now folks and as always, I thank everyone in this group for being a part of...Bizon-stuff and especially those that understand what the purpose is here. It's not just the Bizon, folks. It's you. It's me. It's Cheddar Bob. WE. ARE. THE. PP-BIZON. ONE LOVE. SPEC OUT. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

--SPEC

Heroes,

Hey, hi, hello. It's me, spec. It's been a while. Hope u have been good. No, I hope you've been AMAZING.

Me? My GD PSU BLEW UP but fear not: I got myself one that can support a 4090 and uh, I now have a 3070 ti. Thanks, tax-refund. More like, thank me for like...paying taxes to get refunded for. I did it, not the government. Eff the feds, man. I digress.

Anyway, I'm currently in the process of picking skins for then next drop. SIXTEEN WILL BE GIVEN AWAY. I'm hiding them in my skin-storage crate because this drop is going to more...fun. Surprises are, folks. Not PSU failures, though. I actually have a super-cool idea so, I'm just gonna write it out here *timing will matter more than anything in the next drop and it will be a first come first served thing.* TL;DR--you'll get to pick your skin if you win (from whatever I buy, I mean). Yep.

If you have any recommendations for me for skins that can be bought for the weapons below, feel free to respond to this announcement/message me on steam but HERE ARE THE WEAPONS I am buying skins for below (skip to dashes).

It's the HEAVY CLASS GIVE-AWAY AND ENTRIES BEGIN IN TWO WEEKS (exact date TBD but likely the last week of May!). RULES WILL BE NEW, FRESH, FUN...Idk, we'll see. Stay tuned!

-----------------------------
WEAPONS FOR THE HEAVY CLASS SWEEPSTAKES:
-All shotguns (XM, MAG-7, Sawed-Off, Nova)
-All LMGS (M249/Negev)
-Grand Prize: TBD, POSSIBLY A PP-BIZON. Maybe...the min-wear souvenir AK spec just opened from the final CS:GO major, ever? It's worth more than any souvenir I've opened and I didn't spend money on it? Dope. It literally is worth more/about as much as the gd viewer pass so, that's a first for me.
--------------------------------------------

Anywho, that's all I've got for now. QUESTIONS? CONCERNS? Did you know the PP-Bizon was originally planned to be a T-side exclusive SMG in CS:GO like the mac-10? I have so many Bizon facts, folks. I keep forgetting to include one in each post. Shame on me.

As always, thank you all for helping me recruit/remaining in this group and a special thank you to anyone who adorns this group's-tag when maining the Bizon. You are the Bizon hero, too. HAVE A GREAT WEEK FOLKS!

ONE LOVE. SPEC OUT.
