Thread: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Faceplate Contest

  1. #1

    Default Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Faceplate Contest

    Thanks to the community manager at the 2K Forums, we will be giving away a CivRev faceplate to one Faceplate Addict forum member.



    Hopefully there will be MORE than one, and hopefully there will be additional prizes to go along with the faceplate, like a poster or t-shirt or something like that.

    *******MAJOR EDIT**********
    Yeah, we're geting more than one. We're getting TEN CivRev faceplates AND lithographs. TEN prizes. TEN winners. Don't suck. Enter now.
    **************************

    ******MAJOR EDIT #2*********
    I have the prizes in hand. There's good news and there's, well, it's not really bad news, it's just not good news. First the good news. I have ten faceplates right here in mint condition. The plates are numbered out of 2000, and the numbers are in the 230-250 range. Also good news, there are actually TWO lithograph posters instead of one: there's a Lincoln poster and a Napoleon poster. And the best good news, one of the Napoleon posters has been autographed by none other than Sid Meier himself! Now, the not-so-good news. Two of the ten Napoleon posters suffered a pretty major tear on one side, and a number of the other posters received minor damage either from a creased corner or side, or a small tear on one side (nothing like the other two posters though.) The worst of this news is that the signed one is one of those.

    So here's how I'm going to handle this. When I email the winners that they have won, I will ask them if they're interested in the posters. The #1 winner will get the lowest numbered plate, the signed Napoleon poster and the best condition Lincoln poster. Anyone who isn't interested in a poster will not get them and that will make for better posters for the ones that DO want them. If I still end up with more people wanting posters than I have good posters, I will do my best to make sure that everyone gets at least one near-flawless poster (a Lincoln or a Napoleon.) The fortunate will get both. I will give up my posters for you guys.

    Oh, and if you guys REALLY wanted to be nice to me, you could go back and edit your entry posts and mention whether you want the posters or not (#1 will get them regardless).
    **********************


    So here are the details of the contest. There are two things you have to do.

    1) You have to take a test. I won't tell you the answers, but I'll tell you where you can FIND the answers. DO NOT post the answers in this thread. PM them to me. (I guess that means I better clean out my PM box, huh?)

    2) Make a post in this thread that you sent me a PM. I will check my PM's, and if your answers are right, I will edit your post to say "CORRECT: ENTRY ACCEPTED". If it is NOT right, I'll post "INCORRECT: ENTRY DENIED. TRY AGAIN." You'll then get another chance to PM the right answers to me.

    Our winner selection program will look at everyone who posts in this thread, so when I run the program to pick a winner (or winners if we get to do more than one), anyone who doesn't have "CORRECT: ENTRY ACCEPTED" by their name will be rejected and another winner will be chosen. Let's say some guy named "ChuckLOL101" posts "Sweet," in the thread, never sends me a PM and then gets picked as a winner. Chuck is a moron and didn't follow the rules, so he'll be rejected and I'll pick another winner.

    If you PM the correct answers to me but don't post in the thread, the "winner picker" can't pick you, so make sure you do both parts of the contest, mmmkay? Otherwise, you're no smarter than Chuck.

    Also, our "thank you" to the 2K Forums for giving us this prize for faceplate collectors is that we want you to check out their game and their forums. If you have the game, if you've played the game, if you've played the demo.... please share your impressions in this thread for other members to read. They also have other games represented in the forums, like Bioshock, so I know there's something of interest there for you. Please post to your hearts' content in this thread. It won't affect the contest.

    OK, now to the test and again DO NOT post the answers in this thread. I will delete them and you could possibly compromise this giveaway. The way to improve your chances at winning is to be coo', don' be no foo'. PM the answers to me ONLY.

    2K GAMES and SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION CONTEST

    1) What are the names of the two historical leaders that could be played in the demo? (Xbox LIVE - download it and find out!)

    2) How many civilizations are playable in the game?(www.civilizationrevolution.com)

    3) Who developed the game? (www.civilizationrevolution.com)

    4) What is the *EDIT** "North American" ** ESRB rating for the game? (Look anywhere that sells it or reviewed it.)

    5) What is the name of the 2K Community Manager at the Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution official forums? (http://forums.2kgames.com).
    The contest starts NOW, and will run until 11:59 PM PDT August 17, 2008. Entries after that will be mocked.

    I sent you a pm with the answers.

    Good luck to all. I know there are a few hardcore fanboy's out there that just adore this game as much as I do. So with that I bid everyone good luck.

    "CORRECT. ENTRY ACCEPTED."

    I will take both if I am lucky enough but if I can only have one I would like a Lincoln one. Thanks!

    PM Away!

    I've actually spent a pretty good amount of time playing Civ: Rev. It's a lot of fun but sim games are hard to play on consoles - control issues are most of the problem.
    Since the 360 has achievements, it's an added incentive to replay the game as different civilizations and on different difficulties. The difficulties available also run the gamut of "so easy a monkey could win" to the very aptly named "Deity" since you really have to be a Civilization God to win.
    If you like sim games it's worth a play.

    "CORRECT. ENTRY ACCEPTED."

    I'm cool with the damaged posters if I end up being one of the lucky few.

    Pot is a plant,
    That grows in the ground.
    If god didn't want it,
    It wouldn't be around.
    So all you fuckers that don't get high,
    Shut the fuck up and give it a try.
