Small Beta Contest

[ArkhMori]

Hi there! :howdy:

The Church is going to be holding a small beta contest to give away the extra Beta CD Keys that we received. However, we have no clue what kind of contest to have. Art contest, comic contest, story contest, best-looking pet turtle contest--we just can't decide. So, I thought I'd ask 'The People' what they thought would be a fair contest. Please post your thoughts here so that I can get a good consensus of what's best. :D

Also, if you're a beta tester who received an extra email and would like to donate it to our contest, we'd love to give it away for you. The more keys we have, the more options we'll have in the contest.

NOTE: Please do not message me, email me, or IM me about how badly you need WoW. A contest does not mean 'you get for free' it means 'you compete and maybe you win,' sorry. I'm not going to be giving it to you without you winning the contest, and you won't convince me.

How about you just give those accounts to me? Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

[ArkhMori]

That's not a very competitive choice :D

[Graav Wolfsong]

No one could stand against my awesome power anyway. Might as well save ourselves the time.

How's about having someone design a mascot for "The Church" - everyone benefits :) - coolest idea wins (could be required to include a drawing or something).

Best role-played introduction of the character they wish to play might be cool too - you'd get some funny submissions, probably some stuff that you could post on the site...

That's all I got for now - I'll mention more later if I think of anything else.

Thats actually a very good idea.
Drawing or designing or whatever tend to weed out alot of us less talented people. Especially all us poor betaless people who have trembling hands and ticks from the withdrawals from having the stress test taken away.

But anyone can think up a good story.

Maybe a backstory, how your character came to be. What brought your character to the point where he starts his training to be a hero in WoW.

Perhaps a quiz about warcraft lore?
Or a short story about anything as long as its fitting to the warcraft lore?
(Of course i chose stuff where im good at lol)

edit: didnt read above im for the char introduction too :)

Thought maybe it could be in audio too - you could send an intro, then introduce yourself "in person". Just some character stuff - with the "less talented" (though creative) members of the community in mind. I mean, I can draw a little, write a little, and that kind of thing, but many of the people on here really excel in creative, entertaining dialogue. I think it plays to the strengths of regular forum posters :)

I vote for an art contest mixed with rpg style description sort of thing! :D

Just set up some questions from the Warcraft lore, that way everyone has a chance.
