>what if i would have be picked right after the 1000
>person? And they put a time limt on the signing up? 11 >AM PST what is that?
what are u talking about? a random draw make it so you wouldnt end up as that 1001 person who didnt make the cut. You have the whole entire weekend to sign up, and you have as much chance to win as the first guy who signed up. You also cant expect them to give that many more out, I mean it costs them money to make these cd's and sent them to a thousand people.
and dood as for contributing to the scene....Ive written about 10+ full length essays for Rise of Nations HG fansite, and posted on many forums on the game since beginning of last year, and thats just for RoN. I do it cause I enjoy gaming and contributing, not cause I necessarily think I will get something in return. If I did, I would cut a deal (like warpstorm suggested) up front, and it would be business. Cause the time Ive put into this is worth a heck of a lot more then 50 bucks.
When MS and BHG was asking the fansites how they should do this, I suggested a random draw when Obsidian from Heavens Games asked the HG crew for opinions. The idea is so that people can get a chance to win, and not get reamed cause they were responsible and werent willing to skip school for a game. and I didnt want to see another AOM situation where a bunch of sites went down cause people were hammering the sites so hard. Fansites are trying to promote gaming, and popularize a game we are enthusiatic about, not contribute to delinquency and obsessive behaviour.
Furthermore, If I had a kid who skipped school for a computer game, you can bet I'd ban his ass from gaming for a good long time.
How does scrambling and skipping school or staying up to god awful hours so you can try to beat the rush any easier for you to win. Trust me, even if you didnt have to do all that your chances arent that much better then a random draw, for every 1 person who thinks they are a die hard fan, there's a tonne of others who are also willing to sit there and bang at a site to get in past the gate. So now you can relax and sign up at your leisure knowing you can be a lucky winner and have as much of a chance to win as some **** who has nothing better to do then to sit on the comp hammering a site to be the 1st one to sign up.
