Since OSN member Durshar created the first ever 3rd party game in December with TSTL’s “Performance Matters” Contest, everyone has been very excited at a world with 3rd party games created around the OneSeason community. OSN Member Durshar was kind enough to sponsor this contest and was giving away credit in TSTL’s online store, and then he followed that up with the 2nd ever third party game the “All Star Challenge”. After that, Dancenham and his “OneSeason Survivor Contest” became a huge hit. Now, OneSeason Nation member Jayhawks is launching the 4th ever 3rd party game that will debut tomorrow! OneSeasonGames has games coming, OneSeasonPro has games coming. Things have started snowballing and I’m sure you will see tons more games coming out there! Stay tuned for the latest breaking news and info on these games and their lists of prizes! Exciting stuff for the OneSeason community! We will compile a list of these games as they hit the community, complete with prizes and any possible cost these games might cost to play. Thanks to all the developers in the community for creating these games!

Another great addition to the OSN GEAR section! I am very excited about this one, because it is the first item I had an idea on, and Art2Shirt hopped on it, and made it happen for the Nation! These are the rubber/silicone wristband that you see many NBA players wearing, and that were made popular by the yellow Livestrong bracelets that were very popular years ago. Except this time, they are OneSeason Nation! They are available to purchase, OR if you win a caption contest, you can get one free. I will be buying some for prizes for the different contests we do. We only ordered 100 at first from the manufacturer, and if you guys like them, and want to get more, the more we buy, the bigger the discount gets. Have fun with these! They are a great way to show some pride, start conversation about OneSeason, or just rock it. They are very slick looking! They will be the most inexpensive things in the OSN GEAR store and great for snagging to give away as prizes if you, yourself want to make a contest. Thanks again for Dean over at Art2Shirt for going outside the box and making this happen for the OSN!

Our 3rd installment of a large scale poker tournament is tonight on our official OneSeason poker room. The buy in is $10+$1. There will be bounties galore! 6:30PM PST is the start time. Don’t be late! You can’t get into the tournament after it starts!

Did you guys know you could dress up your individual profile in the OSN forums? You can add photo albums, and all that good stuff. The forums are very complex, and we have barely scratched the surface of what this ferrari of message boards can do. It is like our own private MySpace or Facebook.

See what Deano did here with his profile.

Congratulations to our January Contest winners! Each winner will receive merchandise from the TSTL store.

Please email durshar@aol.com for details on how to get your credit!

Now on to the February contest. This month we will have 3 prizes ($25, $10, $5) so that is 3 chances to win. LeBron James has been chosen the TSTL’s hero the month for February 2009.

James had a another unbelievable month in January. He racked up 3 triple-doubles in 14 games and was really close to a couple others. After it was all said and done he nearly had a triple-double average for the month.

27.5 pts. 9.6 reb. 8.2 ast. 2.1 stl. 1.5 blk.

Honorable mention for the month of January - Chris Paul; without James’ beast-like numbers, Paul would have been the man of the month. Maybe next month, Chris.

Go here for rules.

HERE IS YOUR TSTL HERO OF THE MONTH! GET YOUR SHARES OWNED POSTED ALONG WITH A MATCHING SELL ORDER FOR AN ABNORMALLY HIGH DOLLAR AMOUNT SO THE SPONSOR CAN VERIFY!

REMEMBER, You can always increase your entries into the drawing if you get more than your first submission during the month. A confirmed sell order with a higher amount of shares than the one you have confirmed will override your first submission.

Good Luck and Have fun!
