Contests open: WIN A COPY RON NOW!

[MarkG]

The race has begun!



The official Rise of Nations contest is now open, giving a chance to be one of 1000 lucky people to get a copy of the Rise of Nations beta!

Official contest

Apolyton contest

But this is not your only chance! Several fan sites will be having contests as well. The Apolyton "LOVE your NATION" Contest is now open as well! Later today look out for contests opening on RON Center, RON Empire, RON Heaven and RON Planet!!

[Alex]

Wow! This is nice, Markos, I did not know that the fan sites would be having their contests too.

[Alex]

A small question: can I participate in both contests (the official one and the Poly one)? It seems so, judging from what you said ("this is not your only chance"), but I'd like to know it for sure.

[MarkG]

YES!

[Sarxis]

BTW, when will we know the results of these contests? I could probably look this up myself, but I won't.

[RONS_thesimss]

Im all signed up lets hope i get a copy!!!! I want one really bad!!!!! I can't wait for monday to see who won and get more ideas about the game!!!!

[Locutus]

I think I know the answer but, like Alexmn, I'd like to be 100% sure:

Can I only send in 1 entry for 1 nation or 1 entry for each nation? So only 1 entry for the Mongols and nothing else, or 1 for the Mongols, 1 for the Greeks, etc?

If it's only 1 entry total, is there any chance you can tell me for which country you're receiving the least correct answers for? As a history buff answering all 25 questions is a piece of cake so being forced to choose only 1 country is quite a dillemma (I was pleasantly surprised to find that two of the Chinese questions actually challenged me - briefly )

/me prays to god that he doesn't make a fool out of myself by screwing a question up now

BTW, who came up with those questions? I think I discovered a (very) minor mistake in one of the Chinese questions But before I detail this I'll go to the library first next week to make 100% certain. I hate making false accusations and I hate making a fool out of myself by being dead wrong

[MarkG]

our contest ends on the 21st and the results will be announced on the 25th

[Locutus]

Markos,
Did we crosspost or was my question too stupid to warrant an answer?

[MarkG]

only 1 entry for the Mongols and nothing else

that's it

If it's only 1 entry total, is there any chance you can tell me for which country you're receiving the least correct answers for?

come on....

BTW, who came up with those questions?

Dan and me

I think I discovered a (very) minor mistake in one of the Chinese questions

please mail me privately

[Locutus]

Thanks for clarifying

Never mind, I was wrong after all I knew it was a good idea to double-check Please accept my apologies...

And now to make a tough choice... which nation to sign up for?

[tniem]

That is the question. Which one do people know the best but then they might shy away from that one. I guess I will probably just pick one and answer the questions I know and guess on the other ones. Figure that no matter what I have little chance - probably tons of people entering this contest.

[MarkG]

in the end it will be pure chance
we are already in a three figure number

[Alex]

Funny, I thought that the questions would be about the nations as they are portrayed in RoN, not in real life. Never mind, I'm sure I answered them all correctly and now I'll just have to wait.

[tniem]

Mark,

Is that equating to a large number of clicks into the rest of the site? I haven't seen many new people on the boards since the contest was announced.
