RPG LAND

NR · Last edited by NR on Wed Jan 03, 2007 7:38 am; edited 1 time in total

Embracing the material, debatably evil side of the season, entrants will describe why their holiday gift load was dissatisfactory. (Pictures of them with their lame gifts are bonus points.) The staff will decide who needs our help the most.

TWO WINNERS WILL RECEIVE PILES OF AWESOME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
-Wild ARMs 4
-Shadow Hearts: From the New World
-Dark Age of Camelot 5th Anniversary Edition (original game plus all 7 expensions and free 30 days)
-Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny
-Blade Dancer original soundtrack (it's not that bad, actually...)
**We are currently working on adding other stuff to the prize piles**

However, this contest carries some risk. We might make your Christmas better, or we might make it worse.
ONE LOSER WILL RECEIVE:
-Tim Wilson's broken Xbox 360
ANOTHER LOSER WILL RECIEVE:
-Spectral Souls

Send entries to contest@rpgland.com

So send those descriptions of why your holidays sucked, and if you want better chances of NOT getting stuck with Spectral Souls, send pics ASAP.

RULES AND STUFF
*Entries must be received by 11:59pm Central time on the 16th.

*Open to anyone in the world, and not just Christmas--that was just a convenient sounding name for the contest. It can also be about Boxing Day, Chaunukka, Kwanzaa, or whatever the atheists are into these days.

*Entrants must be at least 14 years of age, just because I don't feel like giving free stuff to kids.

*When you enter, fricking, INCLUDE YOUR MAILIGNG ADDRESS or we can't give you prizes. I was disappointed last year to discover that many of our readers are retarded, and when we asked for "mailing address" they only put like, "34 Jackson Drive," with no city, state, or zip. Do this and I will virus the email account you used to send this thing.

*Upon your winning, we will send a confirmation email. Since this is a lot of prize action here, we want to make sure the haul is going to a reader who actually gives a crap, so you must respond to the winning confirmation email within 10 days if you want your prizes.

*Thanks to our sponsors:

There's a chance that I can get a copy of Wild ARMS 4? I'm so dropping the whole "it's not what you get, it's the family you get to spend it with that counts" argument just for that. And maybe the other stuff.

I'd take pictures, but there really isn't much to take pictures of. My girlfriend got me a SA forum subscription and a hand knitted scarf, which kicked ass... but the package she sent didn't arrive until the 28th. I also had to deal with a burst water pipe, which to be fair could have been a lot worse but to also be fair took a fair amount of my time to fix while freezing outside in Montana's friggid winter (although this one has been a bit warmer than most.) Other than that and phone calls, and the gifts I bought myself? Oh, and not having to deal with my roommate (which was an awesome gift in and of itself?) Yeah. That was the extent of my Christmas.

I'll of course drop all the "of course, it could have been worses" to play the pity card up.

Eh... The one year I have a truly righteous Christmas is the year they throw this contest. Weak.

No, I win for sure. I found out two days ago that the cash i got (The trump card of my Christmas) is in my "College Fund," (Which is how my parents borrow my money without interest - they justify it with the argument that they'll pay for my college later). This left me with some See's Candies that I had to eat for lunch that day (And while candy is good, candy for a meal makes me literally sick), and a superman watch worth two dollars. I already have a watch - much nicer, and I don't want a watch made in China, after all. My christmas took a turn for the worst. It's like showing it to me (I had been going to get a Wacom tab with the cash) and then taking it away. I know there's an emo song about this I heard on the radio, so I'd best go find that.

Yay - after some fast talking, I manged to get the cash back, with a little extra (Quoting the fact that of the presents, my parents only got me the watch and candy - none of the money) and I am gonna go pick up the wacom. The downside is that I am out of the contest, but I'll live with it. That alone made this christmas worth not winning that prize.

My stupid ass parents had to go and get me a goddamned Wii, so I was officially exempt from this "contest."
