Contest Rules:
The contest rules and requirements, on a per member basis, are as follows:- Must have acquired a minimum of 100 posts
- Must have posted within 14 days prior to the contest beginning. I will post a thread entitled something like, "Fable 2 Competition Entry Thread", or something along those lines, close to when Fable 2 will be released. All you would need to do is reply to that thread to be entered into the contest.
- Staff and banned member accounts are exempt from this contest
All members who meet the above criteria will have their names entered into a raffle whereby the winner will be determined by whomever is the first name to be picked from a hat. Me, DD and Angel will be in charge of picking the winner's name out of a hat.
The winner will be rewarded with either a copy of Fable 2 or a cash reward amounting to $60 USD (Fable 2 will retail for $59.99 USD upon release). In the case of a cash sum being awarded, please be sure you have an active PayPal account ready.
In an attempt to combat any potential claims of unfairness, bias or cheating on our part, we will be recording the entire drawing a name from a hat process on video. This will [probably] also include recording ourselves writing out every single person's name on a piece of paper and adding it to "the hat".

Hi,
Long story short: I'm currently in the process of brainstorming a 'win a copy of Fable 2 contest' as you have undoubtedly guessed. I'm still deciding on what sort of criteria will be involved in order to win but I just thought I'd let everyone know in advance because Steve loves you.
My first thought was (and I almost immediately threw the idea out the window) a 'whoever has the highest post count' based contest but in the end I decided against it. I'm considering using the referrals system as a factor in the contest but I'm still working on that one.
I'm also torn between offering a free copy of Fable 2 for the Xbox 360 or a cash prize of $60 US dollars - the reason for the $60 is because that is what the game will retail for when it is released.
In fact, if you want to help: please feel free to make some suggestions as to what you believe would make for a fair contest and we'll see if they're fair and, well, at all viable.
Just so clarify: This is a contest where you are able to win a
FREE copy of Fable 2 that I will be paying for out of my own pocket, or failing that, $60 US dollars to put towards Fable 2. There are no strings attached and somebody will win.
Personally, I love contests, and I'm genuinely looking forward to giving back to the community who have contributed and helped make this the premier Fable 2 forum to date. I love you guys!
Want to help? Spread the word of this contest on other websites, message boards, wherever (and include a link back here for pity's sake!) and if I'm satisfied that people are helping to create a little noise about us and this contest then I will give away a second copy of Fable 2 or a second cash reward of $60 to the runner-up!
Long story short(er): Promote this contest and spread some projectego love, people.
Yeah...
