Press Junketeer Posts: 454 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | Just my two cents, but provided nobody thinks too deeply about it, neutral will always get the least votes on a "true" personality test. Honestly, how many people actually played more neutral characters than good or evil characters in Fable, KOTOR, or any other game with an allignment system? |

God, I hope not. What a group of shameless posers... |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3425 Joined: 20 Aug 2008    | That bit about "chosen from among the least" makes the game a variation on the Prisoner's Dilemma and really forces someone to think "should I game the system and try to guess which will have the least or just answer honestly because everyone else gaming the system will cancel each other out and make it a game of chance?" Anyway, I chose Neutral because it reflects me fairly well---I always score some variation of Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral on D&D-style alignment tests. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 3 Joined: 9 Oct 2008    | I love how incredibly difficult it must be to extend states contests to Canada. Like changing one line in the terms. "Valid in U.S. AND CANADA except for Quebec." Fail :( Plus+ People gaming the system will vote neutral or evil, people actually voting for how they play will cancel each other out. So vote good ;) |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 983 Joined: 21 Feb 2008  | Why 18? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2273 Joined: 13 Sep 2007    | Can non-Americans still do the quiz thingie but not be entered to get the prize? That's be cool. Also, with all this money the Escapist has now, maybe next time we could have the contest in the top three Escapist countries? Or something? Oh, and people, it's because of all the legal stuff, to have it in other countries, you need more lawyers. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1531 Joined: 21 Nov 2007 | I live in the UK but my cousin lives in New York, can I enter and get you guys to send it to his address? Then he can bring it with him when he comes home for Christmas.... a longshot I know but here's to hoping. |

A) No, >50% are from the US It's not a matter of shipping, or even tariffs. Blame the politicians. |

Yeah, for once I'm annoyed to be Scottish. |

If the entry has a US mailing address, we will send it to them. That is how we determine 'residency' for contests. |

The game, and the badge, are available to everyone. Head to your profile to play ;) |

So it's perfectly fine for non-americans to enter, so long as they're over 18 and provide a USA mailing address? |
CEO & Publisher  Posts: 585 Joined: 12 Nov 2002   | It's perfectly fine for US residents to enter. A US resident is anyone who provides us a US mailing address. :) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1445 Joined: 6 Feb 2008   | "yawn"; was more fun when there wasnt an overly pretentious contest to go with it tbh |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 983 Joined: 21 Feb 2008 | If the game is rated M, why can't 17 year olds enter? |
Red Guard  Posts: 3442 Joined: 18 Sep 2008  | Not Canada? Augh! What if I have a mailing address in the states?? I have family there! Crap, I already entered! Oh cruel fate! |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2163 Joined: 15 Jun 2008   | USA only? That's a pretty raw deal for most of the forum members isn't it? |
Time Lord Posts: 9720 Joined: 13 Feb 2008 | TBF, it's a lawyer thing. IANAL but AFAIK it has to be 18 because of the associated work-laws/ownership/prizes and US only because of the legal ramifications of sending Electronica through the mail. I know Pandora (internet music station) had to block all non-US IP's because of the media laws. |
Paperboy  Posts: 21 Joined: 7 May 2008   | USA only i figured as much , curse you world and all youre rules, curse you! good luck to all contestants |

The Fable II Contest You NEED To Enter!
What's better than the chance to win a copy of Fable II, an Xbox 360 Elite and a Samsung 37" 1080p HDTV? Two chances!
Here's The Deal
Entering our Fable II contest is simple: just fill out your information and you're automatically entered into a random drawing for the prize pack. In addition to providing your vital stats (name, address, ice cream preference, that sort of thing), you'll also be asked to choose your alignment: good, neutral or evil. The skin on our site will change to reflect your choice of alignment. Here's the twist -- the winner will be chosen from the alignment with the FEWEST votes.
So that's one chance to win some pretty sweet prizes, but we promised you two. Play the Fable game in your profile at least five times (you can play once per day between now and October 24th), and you'll automatically be entered in the drawing for a second time but ONLY if you've already entered the contest. Here's the catch - your second entry will be under the faction that you end up in as a result of your game choices!
That's two chances to nab some killer prizes, so SIGN UP NOW!
NOTE: This is for USA residents only and you must be 18 years or older to participate. Sorry, but that's what the lawyers required.
