Hello Nation:

I happen to have some prizes and am willing to give them away for a price. (Kidding) I have a list of questions and if you PM me the answers I will put you into a draw for the prizes.

Rules:
- The contest is open to all usergroups (members, Loyalists, moderators and admins) provided that you have a minimum of 100 posts.
- You MUST private message me your answers. You will be disqualified if you post them before the contest is over.
- You will need a Steam account in order to receive the gifts. See below.

The people with the highest scores will be put into a draw for a free copy of The Orange Box (SN Orange Box thread). Depending on whether or not Steam will let me give away coupons to certain Steam accounts, runner-ups will receive a coupon of their choice.

The contest opens NOW and will be open until 31 January, 23:59 PST.
Contest is now closed.

I happen to have in my possession three gifts from Steam:

TokiTori coupon:

Valve catalogue coupon:

The Orange Box gift:

If you click on the images they will take you to the store pages and the requirements for the games.

Things to note:
- You will need Steam in order to receive the gift. Steam can be downloaded for free from the service's main page. If you have not purchased anything for your Steam account, you will have to tell me your account name so I can add you as a friend and send you the gift.
- If the trading is working the way I think it is, you will need to have a Steam account that has purchased something in order to trade. Free Steam accounts are restricted to prevent spamming, so many features aren't available to complimentary accounts. This means I may only be able to give the coupons to people who have purchased something on Steam. If so I will "trade" you the coupon for nothing. (I would like to test this out, so if anyone is willing to help that would be great.)


2-Jan EDIT: Should be "Stormcloak" not "Stromcloak" in question list. Proofread fail.

I think I answered them all correct... Can't be bothered to see if Steam is available in Australia, though. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

There's a free point in the list too.

Steam is available in Australia, btw.

Ten days left. Anyone who enters has a really good chance at this point.

Well, the contest is closed now, and I'm afraid I have to say no one entered, so no one wins.


Come on people, they were free games!


Anyhoo, feel free to discuss the answers to the trivia questions.

if you can think of another type of contest i have just come in posession of a bunch of ps3 game promotion cards from a blockbuster closeout. i picked out the top 15 ones i could find, but they would work out as fun little gifts.

It appears that there don't seem to be many PC gamers here and/or anyone who does have a PC that can run the games already has them or doesn't want them. I got no entries for the contest.

There could be another contest, but no one seems to want my prizes.

ive got a netbook, lol. it will run minesweeper like youve never seen! other than that i dont have a current rig set up.

Thanks for sharing with us anyhow Az.
