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...
Contest Update:
At the moment 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.
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).
