Winner announced for M2TW press day in London!

TosaInu · 10-23-2006, 11:57

There will be a Community Gold code day at SEGA Europe HQ on the 3rd of November.

A small competition will decide who can attend this meeting.

It's short day and for that I apologise. The competition will be simple: explain why you should go.

You can explain with a poem, a short essay, music, a comic, some drawing or anything else.

Entries have to be send Saturday 28th of Oktober 2006 24:00 GMT the latest. You can either submit it to the forumtopic that will be opened for this purpose or e-mail/PM your work to me.

Please understand that you have to travel on your own expense and have to be able to actually go there.

People who can not go to the meeting, but like to participate the contest, are more than welcome to participate. But please, tell whether you play for going to the meeting or not.

We'll announce who win at Monday 30th of Oktober 2006 21:00 GMT. Please be around to confirm.

Elite Ferret · 10-23-2006, 12:09

Where is SEGA Europe HQ?

alpaca · 10-23-2006, 12:18

London, England, Great Britain, United Kingdom ;)
Kew Bridge was a hint by the way.

Lusted · 10-23-2006, 12:18

As .org got the same email i did as the TWc CA liasion, you just need to be able to get to Kew Bridge station on that date.

Scurvy · 10-23-2006, 13:07

well thats okay, i live really near to kew bridge - when i saw thre announcment thing i was like wtf! how do they know where i live :P

Myrddraal · 10-23-2006, 15:27

Just to expand on this a bit more. You'll get a chance to play the full game, meet a .org staff member, meet 4 other members of the community that I know of (from other sites), meet the CA (marketing people I guess). All in all, a good day out

Lusted · 10-23-2006, 17:02

Ill be TWC staffs representative there so you'll get to meet me, though im sure that whoever wins will be too busy playing the game to notice.

Just like i will

edyzmedieval · 10-23-2006, 18:30

WOW!!! Awesome.

Now, even if I don't win the competition, can I participate? I mean, I wanna meet you guys and I wanna play M2TW. I'll travel to London, don't worry.

Scurvy · 10-23-2006, 18:31

is there an age limit (or more to teh pint, minimum)?

TosaInu · 10-23-2006, 18:56

No age limit as far as I know. A 9 year old girl who can get a lift from her parents could go too. I don't know whether the parents have to wait outside (I suppose so).

Lusted · 10-23-2006, 19:11

I put an age limit on the competiton at TWc as Medi II is rated 16+.

alpaca · 10-23-2006, 20:18

Well if you have to sign a contract that you won't leak anything (what was the word for that again) you'll probably have to be 18 - or not?

Myrddraal · 10-23-2006, 20:26

I don't think you'll have to sign any such contract. It's a press day, it's meant to show things off to the public. They want you to come back here and talk about it lots

alpaca · 10-23-2006, 23:41

Yeah they'd probably have told you of an age restriction.
Hmph, anyways: No Englishmen out there who'd like to participate? I mean, if I lived near London I'd be sure to try :P

No you just don't mention the no CD crack that they are using

Big King Sanctaphrax · 10-24-2006, 03:14

Wow, suprising lack of interest.

Probably because the net is so saturated with info.

-STW 15+, STW MI/WE 15+, MTW 11+ (execution of prisoners) MTW VI 12+, RTW 12+ (allows civilian atrocity), RTW BI 12+, RTW Alex 12+, M2TW ESRB Rating: RP=Rating Pending

-9 year old girls play these games, as well as 60+ granddads. Them both going would be a nice statement.

Lusted · 10-24-2006, 13:47

Rating pending? Damn Amazon miselading me with its 16+ rating. But i would think it wil be around that given the fact there is blood in it.

Myrddraal · 10-24-2006, 18:50

C'mon guys! No British people here? I don't believe it...

Furious Mental · 10-24-2006, 18:52

Hasn't this event already happened? There was some guy on the www.totalwar.com forums talking about going to some event in London. Didn't look as though it was worth the trip- from what I could tell they just showed a bunch of videos and repeated what has been said in every preview so far.

alpaca · 10-24-2006, 19:03

Well it's scheduled for November 3rd and you supposedly get to play at least a bit of the gold master, so if you live in England that might well be worth it :)
Plus, it can be turned into a nice week-end in London with your girl

I'll also give you a good reason that'll make sure you win, it is: "I'm the only one who participates"

Myrddraal · 10-24-2006, 19:11

Well this thing is on the 3rd of November, so no, it hasn't happened yet. You'll get to play the game, and ask some questions where they're more likely to be answered. There was a similar event a while back and a list of questions were submited by people online to the lucky guy who was going. This is an opportunity to be there in the flesh and do the asking yourself (plus play the game, not the demo)

Aracnid · 10-24-2006, 19:44

i live in Central London and thus can get there easily, I am 18 and I would love to see it. On the other hand I am new here so if no one else want's to go consider me. The one problem is I tend bar atm (am on my gap year) and my shift starts at 7.30 and I need to get home for 7, but as its about 5 seconds on the tube I should manage.

That doesn't matter, all are invited to try.

edyzmedieval · 10-24-2006, 21:02

I wanted to go to it but I can't...

Time to persuade my dad till Saturday... Praying to God.

Scurvy · 10-24-2006, 21:22

I live like right next to it, but its a friday, and i'm at school on fridays - what time does it start?

I don't know Scurvy. I'll ask.

TosaInu · 10-24-2006, 21:23

And make something for the competition: you have two tasks.
