A short question about the Xmas contests

[Soulweaver]

Well, I could not ask directly in that thread, so...

Are there location restrictions on entering the contests (in terms of prizes)? This concerns me since most contests I see on the interwebz that look OK have a rule that the contestant must live in U.S. (or U.K., or Germany, or Canada, or some other "common" area of residence).

Not that the prizes would be the most important aspect (I think I'll give the theme contest a shot), but a pre-ordered HGSS (btw, is that a choice between the two, or both?), even if it was a NTSC version (DSes should not have region codes IIRC), sounds excellent.

I have updated the primary announcement thread with an answer to this question, since you're not the first who has asked me.

Long answer short....no real region restrictions, so long as we can find an online retailer who'll ship to you who accepts paypal.

 

[Atara]

well do you get to choose between hg and ss or do you get both versions?

 

[Archaic]

You choose.

 

[Our Wasted Years]

well do you get to choose between hg and ss or do you get both versions?

You get to choose which game you want, iirc you don't get to have both games unless you won both contests or something...but it'd be better if Archaic answered this.

Edit: He beat me to it ;_;

And even then if you do win two contests, you might have to choose between one or the other as that isn't very fair? You'd get the honor as in First Place but the prizes would be pushed down (i.e. second place = first prize, third place = second prize..)

 

[Archaic]

No, if someone wins first prize in two contests, somehow, they still get both. It's fairly unlikely, so we're not really worried about it.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Ah ok Well, anyway good luck to all who will be participating~

 

[Nando]

Weren't the rules supposed to go up today for the various contests? Some of these demand time to properly do.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Its being taken care of~

 

[Archaic]

Most of them should go up within the next couple of hours. A few may be delayed slightly, mainly due to the judges of those contests being unavoidably away, but if you want to ask any questions here I can clarify them for you.

 

[Nando]

Archaic, are you at liberty to at least reveal what the theme of the fanfic contest is? I really want to get started on mine...

Blackjack is posting the thread like right now, so chill~

Now we just have to wait for the Theme Making Competition thread to appear.

Okay, thanks for the quick answer. I'll have to peek around some sites to check if they ship to Finland

Now we just have to wait for the Theme Making Competition thread to appear.

Yeah, seems the official thread for that is not up yet (unlike most of the contests).
