It's that time again, everyone. It is time for my 6th character battle contest to make its presence. Welcome to this winter's contest, the theme being Video Game Heroes. This time, we have our most varied tournament field yet: 128 characters from 93 different games, ranging from the days of the NES to the current generation of systems (PS2, GC, Xbox). Alas, the Wii and PS3 are still too new, but perhaps they'll be in the next contest this summer. But now...
For you people who are new and are interested, this is a standard single-elimination type tournament--128 characters divided up into 4 divisions. I set up polls, you guys vote on your favorite characters in each battle, round by round. Before the contest begins, you enter a tournament bracket and make your predictions round by round until you get a contest champion. You earn points based on if your predicted winners win their battles. At the end of the contest, if you have the most points, I buy you a video game of your choosing (or a choice of other fun prizes). If you finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, this is this contest's prize pool:
1st Place: Pick ONE of the following:
-Video game of your choice (please specify the console, and if it’s NTSC or PAL coding)
-$50 gift card to EBGames/GameStop/Hot Topic
-$50 check/money order/PayPal
2nd Place: Pick ONE of the following:
-Video game of your choice $25 or less (NEW!!)
-$25 gift card to EB/GameStop/Hot Topic
-$25 check/money order/PayPal
3rd Place: Pick ONE of the following:
-Video game of your choice $20 or less (NEW!!)
-$20 gift card to the above
-$20 check/money order/PayPal
If you land in any of these places at the end, email me with your choice of prize. Note to people playing who live outside the USA: EB and GameStop do not offer gift cards for use on their websites. Hot Topic does, however. If you’re an international player and you happen to place in any of these 3 places, talk to me and we can work something out, whether it’s a video game or something from Hot Topic, for they do ship internationally.
Note for anyone who places in the top 3 and want a video game: PLEASE tell me the console and whether I need to purchase a PAL or NTSC version of the game.
Deadline for contest entry is midnight Eastern time, January 7. Contest begins Monday, January 8th, 7 PM ET.
How do you enter? One of 2 ways:
1) If you've done any of my contests before and used Bracket Maker to make your brackets, go online to http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=192812 and make your predictions.
2) If you're brand new to this, send me your email and I will email you the Contest FAQ, which will cover everything you need to know about the contest (rules, how and where to enter, important stuff).
Also, if the names of characters seem unfamiliar to you and you want pictures, go to VGH Characters. Here you'll find every character that will be duking it out, listed in reverse alphabetical order.
If you have any questions, IM or email me, or leave an LJ comment with some contact info. AIM: Xcbrian2; YIM: LLoire01; MSN: LLoire1119@hotmail.com. The MSN Messenger name listed is also the email address I am using for this contest.
Oh, and it's free to enter.
Good luck!
