That's right, for the first time in over a year, Caves of Narshe is holding a contest. The exact nature of this contest won't be revealed until later this month. At the moment all I'll say is that it's only open to forum members (not staff members) and that your chances of winning will *probably* be higher if you've been frequenting these forums for some time.
In any case, the prizes will be Amazon.com gift certificates and the contest will be unveiled sometime around Thanksgiving (the USA's version), with the winner selected a week or two after the contest's announcement. Let the speculation begin! -------------------- |

Sounds like fun, I'm definitely considering participating.

The CoNtest is to see who can buy me the most presents in the least amount of time.

And if I weren't staff I'd win right now! It's not a prediction contest, I can say that much. I can also say that I hope by the time we have a winner, they'll be willing to buy their Amazon products through CoN so we can recoup a bit of the money.  -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Sounds like a plan, and Amazon's a good choice; Best Buy and such don't carry old games. Contests always get me thinking about Arc the Lad Collection...

I had a feeling, but the prize was tempting so I gave it a shot anyways. I know Elena99 is retired but however she is still on the staff page, I hadn't seen anything from Fradulent Tommah or SSJ Cloud in a while, and I put Climhazzard on there because I was 70% sure R51 was being sarcastic. Because we all know Climhazzard is the busiest one on this site This post has been edited by Cloud_Strife510 on 4th November 2006 21:11 -------------------- "Have you ever seen a baby do that before?" |

Could it be... who has kept his or her avatar the longest?

I'm hoping it's some type of art contest, since that's probably the only type I have a chance of winning.

i dont think its fair that youre having a contest that requires you to be a forum member for a long time. you should give more time before the contest starts to let everyone have a chance to catch up and win. or maybe you should give people a handicap if they just joined or something. otherwise its just going to look like the mods decided that they wanted one of their freinds to win and no one else had a chance. oh well maybe thats how it is after all. what do i know.

All lazslow said was that older members *might* have a slightly higher chance of winning.

Also, chou, if he waited, new people would join and the CoNtest would never start.

Well, chou, there's always someone new, so adapting to new people won't do the trick. Also, Lasz said, that people who've been here for some time will PROBABLY have higher chances of winning. Given that, it's prolly some sort of CoNtrivia competition. -------------------- "I fell off the mountain of words at around the 10,000ft mark.

I'm game for anything, though I have no idea at all what this could be.
