[MarkG]

Apolyton in cooperation with Infogrames and Quicksilver is proud to bring you a unique event. The "Match The Races To The Faces" Contest is your chance to become a beta tester for Master of Orion 3!

There will only be 25 winners and the contest ends in 2 days, so act now and make your matches wisely!

Great contest, Mark! I hope someone here takes it. As for myself, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with being a paying beta tester...

Good luck to everyone (I just submitted mine).

Though to be honest, I'd be surprised if there weren't *way* more than 25 people who get all of the faces right. Nearly every race's art is available if you know where to look.

Definitely an awesome contest. I unfortunately cant enter. I wish all of you who enter, good luck. Too bad there wasn't a harvester pic though...

edit by markg: come on.... no info about the "races" or the "faces"

edit by MAD JAMES!!: come on... I was just supporting what Xentax said

You could've just taken out the names

(What I said was that other than ONE of the races that we know we won't see until the game ships - and didn't name - and one other race already had pictures floating around. The latter is the ? and the former is can be inferred by default)

Sweet idea. Nice work in securing this Markos. I wish I had time to do this beta test but I don't and so I won't try to take this spot from someone that would give it there all.

Don't know any of the new races and will keep it that way until the game comes out. No peeking for me. I want it to be all new and exciting. I like to watch the cuts scenes for the first time (no other time though).

I enter the contest just now. I was able to find all the pictures for all the races on the net. I hope I am able to win a spot.

800 responses, and the web research wasn't terribly hard to get all of them right... I really, really hope they pay a lot of attention to the "tell us about yourself" field instead of just picking out of a hat.

I also hope that there aren't more than 24 other people with prior full-time professional game software testing experience.

I don't think you have to worry about professionals competing with us. Professionals want to get paid for their work.

I would hope thay already have their professional game testers. I would also hope these spots go to professional game players. There's a difference - a pro tester will tell you the game crashes when you leave the save dialog blank. The player will tell you culture flipping sucks.

Uuuu if I get my hands on one of those LAWYERS!
Good luck Jack_www!

I can't enter the contest, but it doesn't matter. I'll be suprised if I ever buy MOO3. The art looks nice though.
