So you've got a domain name, you figured out the .com, but you had to have the full twenty-thirteen. Almost, guys: -52 Having a kickoff week for your website: -1337 Lack of MJ Gitter's campaign video: -214 Every 13th visitor wins a t-shirt or scarf: +20000, but only if we're the 13th visitor.

Based on the stats, we think the winner should be obvious.
