Winner announced for M2TW press day in London!

[Phalaxar]

I don't appear to be able to edit, so this was my entry:

Hey, I've been looking around here for a while but this contest made me decide to register. Unfortunately my activation email's not yet arrived, so I can't post this.

The reason I want to win this is simple; I really really enjoy the game. That's all it comes down to, and I can't convince you just like this that it's more than anyone else, I guess. I mean, I've enjoyed the series for years: started with Shogun, progressed to MTW, started to really love it. RTW was a killer for me, and it ranks among my favourite games of all time (it displaced MTW from the top few, since it was just such a great improvement). I just know CA aren't going to drop the ball on this one, and I'm looking forward immensely. I'm itching for it. I can't wait - except I have to.
But hey, all that's easier said than proven (and every civilised society believes in needing a body of evidence before you can convict). So this is the real meat of my submission:

I'm playing to win - but even if I don't, I hope someone at least cracks a smile. :D

[Lusted]

Erm, not to rain on anyones parade or anyting but:

Hi guys how ya doing. Just a quick line on this do have to be sixteen or over I'm afraid as that is the age rating on the game.

That was posted by The Shogun at RTWH.

[Monarch]

Omg, you know how much he's going to brag now on teamspeak?

Well anyway, for some Mancunian Scum to win a writing competition is rare, so congrats mate :P

[tibilicus]

I am 16. Only problem is obtaining a lift down there. If not I have representetives and diplomats on behalf of the Tibilicus empire who cana tend in my place. ;)

[tibilicus]

Woops cant edit but 15. If so thats a bit of a bum. Not liek im going to be mentally distrubed by it..

Tib won by the rules of the Org contest...

If ca have a problem, they should have stated some rules for org to include. Just randomly saying "host a contest", is their problem.

[Myrddraal]

Hmm hmm hmm.

For you're info, this is what the Shogun Posted:

Hi guys how ya doing. Just a quick line on this do have to be sixteen or over I'm afraid as that is the age rating on the game.

He will now be questioned thoroughly, and we'll get back to you tib

[tibilicus]

Gah so im a few months to young and put in all the effort of my entry and people are trying to say I cant go because of a few months?

Im sure the shogun isn't that strict also i did win by .org rules.

Surley people don't want to take that away from me?

Also surley anyway some of the content would be open? Its not like its all playign the game eeeesh.



Tib

[Monarch]

Maybe they could wip up a quick mod changing knights to fluffy bunnys, without teeth of course, tibs small 15 year old eyes wouldn't fit that :P

(Please note not having any sort of dig at the org, I blame this soley on CA for not giving org any rules, then implementing them once the contest is over.)

[Lusted]

I think this is more down to a lack of communication. I limited the TWC contest to 16 and over members because that is the age rating it was given by Amazon.co.uk, and i had seen the comment at RTWH by The Shogun.

[Tomilias Pwnias]

ugg what a rubbish name i had lol :| anyway i dont see why you are trying to enforce a silly rule on this. The only reason your doing it is proly cause u want tib not to get it so you might get another chance! that is completly stupid and selfish.

Tib has won fair and square, the rules of a competition MUST be stated before it begins or at worst after it has begun. If you are bringing in an age rule after the competition is won that is the organisers fault and they should sort it out with the prize people :p

As tib has said hes only a few months out and im 100% sure that he could simply get parental permission to go if its realy a problem. Stop being harsh and let him go!!!!!!!! i comand thee!

[Orda Khan]

Just proves that honesty is not always the best policy. Tibilicus should have said nothing unless questioned, in which case the obvious reply would be "Of course I am"

......Orda

[tibilicus]

Well tbh game ratings are for the parents im pretty sure its not a criminal offence for me to look at a teen game. If so I could get my parents permision like a little school kid no problem.

Also Orda I mentioned my age before I posted my entry.

[TosaInu]

tibilicus won the contest.

[Mount Suribachi]

Hooray!

Can we see his entry?

[Phalaxar]

I'm not sure about the law, but the 16 rating is just an age recommendation by a board, right? Most stores won't let you buy it if you're younger - but that's their policy?

But if it is the law, then I don't see how you can go - they can't give you access illegally?!

Anyway, good luck.

[tibilicus]

Tosa has spoken geeze..

And thanks to all thsoe who congratulated me. Much aprechiated.

Tib

[DukeofSerbia]

Congrats to Tib.

Stop crying and spamming thread with smiles.

[Dutch_guy]

Well Done Tibilicus, I do hope you're allowed to go.

Would you, as Mount S suggested, be willing to post the winning entry ?

I'm sure a lot of people'd like to see it !

[Monarch]

Hooray!

Can we see his entry?

I've seen it, I must bite my tongue, its actually quite a good short essay
