CoN 25th Anniversary: 1997-2022
Another Special CoNtest

That's right! In honor of the Caves of Narshe's upcoming 10th anniversary, a second CoNtest (quite possibly the first of several) is coming up very soon! This CoNtest is going to be quite different from last year's, with concept by Del S and code by Rangers51 and Tiddles. I won't tell you exactly what it's about yet, but here are a few hints:
1) This CoNtest will use a tournament-style setup coded directly through the website; no more emailing in submissions. 2) Again, this CoNtest will almost certainly favor contestants that frequent the forums and chat more often than others; it's similar to the incognito CoNtest in that respect. 3) For the most part, this CoNtest will NOT be about video games, not even ones that CoN covers; if you have an extensive knowledge of video games, it isn't going to help much. If at all. 4) Bogut. That's all I'm saying, so let the anticipation begin! This time there will be guaranteed prizes for the first, second, and third-finishing contestants in the form of Amazon.com gift certificates, so the stakes are pretty high. You can expect this new Contest to drop sometime in the next few weeks. Until then, prognosticate away! Want to sign up? Signup should be available in the evening of 18 June or sometime on 19 June - it's as simple as clicking a button. To stay updated so you know when you can sign up, either subscribe to this thread or make sure you can receive email from board administrators.

I'll open up a signup as soon as I can. We want this to be big fun, so feel free to bring your friends - but they have to be CoN members to join.

Damn, I frequent the forums, but due to lack of computer (mine's broken down) I don't visit the chat at all. I hope that it's not THAT necessary.

Sounds interesting. I may not post as much as most other members, but I do a lot of thread following, and I'll be on the active members list for most of the day, every day.

Amazon.com certificates are not redeemable at any of the international locations. Amazon Grocery store will be unlikely able to export, due to legal issues with cross-border foodstuffs.

Can't wait, since the other one I have to admit was pretty tricky and pretty sneaky. I'm also expecting the same thing this time around, except harder.

A CoNTest! Damnit. I've never been able to use this sites chat. Everytime I get it, somehow it manages not to work.  Will Chat be necessary or will we be able to get the same clues (or wateva) from the forum? This post has been edited by mertinatron on 16th June 2007 11:05 |

Well the last CoNtest it would help to know the staff better, so when they acted there "fake account" you might be able to tell whos who. But just another question thats the same as the last CoNtest, do you have to accept the certificate?  -------------------- Kel'Thuzad: She is persistent. Reminds me of you, death knight.

I'm a thousand miles from home right now, but I think I'll be able to finish getting this thing ready in the next week and start the real signup process. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Bogut!
I sucked at the last CoNtest and I hope to keep up that standard this time. -------------------- "I fell off the mountain of words at around the 10,000ft mark.

I think I will have the signup portion of the game all set up either tonight or tomorrow - it's as simple as clicking a button. To stay updated so you know when you can sign up, either subscribe to this thread or make sure you can receive email from board administrators.
