Yeah but I don't think, "We have dictionaries, Brains, Thesauruses, and a hole assortment of other tools which can be used to better our language" quite has the same ring to it. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 610 Joined: 27 Nov 2008     | I forget who said this, if it was you, tell me, and I'll edit in credit: Welcome to the Escapist, we've got manners and dictionaries. Though that would be more of a slogan for the forums, not the magazine itself, which is what I assume the contest is for. |

I know, eh? No pun intended. EDIT: My submission comes with a virtual essay of explanation! Let's hope that isn't a bad thing. |
On the Record Posts: 5938 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 |
My explaination is also quite long. I don't think I'll win, but I'm glad I submitted. |

Yeah I'm feeling the same way. Like, if you can't be the winner, you have this warm fuzzy feeling being a part of something bigger. That's the magic of The Escapist. THAT'S IT! "The Escapist - We Give You Fuzzy Feelings...Magically" |
Beat Writer  Posts: 151 Joined: 27 Oct 2008     | What does it mean when you want "Slogan" and reason why in bold, blue letter? Just making sure that's what you want me to type in the text box, and if so, whats the html for making it bold and blue? I'm an absolute n00b when it comes to this. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2703 Joined: 20 Jul 2008   | "The Escapist: come for the games, stay for the witty threads." That's my post and is alright if I posted the reason why I chose such a slogan right beneath it in the text part? Edit: Same here, I have no idea how to change the style and color of my words here. |
Paperboy  Posts: 12 Joined: 8 Nov 2007     | I highly doubt it's supposed to be in blue and bold. It's just to emphasize that you need to have the quotation marks around the actual quote and it's in the beginning, not in the middle of a piece of text for example. |
Brand Manager Posts: 2392 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | Okay...a couple of questions have come up: 1) Yes, if you are in another country do your best to fill out the shipping information. That rule was set because too many people would just put their first names or just a zip code...and personally, that drives me nuts. 2) Yes, you NEED to have a reason for your slogan. If you don't, you did not fulfill what the rules have stated and it is dismissed 3) You can only submit once 4) Yes, there is a badge but it is not immediate but I promise if you filled everything out correctly and submitted everything correctly, you will get a badge. Any other questions, PM me or just post them here. PEACE! |

Slogan first, surrounded by quotes to make it easier to identify apart from the explaination following it. The coloration in the instructions was to make it easier for to spot the rules. |

Make sure that is input into the actual contest page or it doesn't count. |
Brand Manager Posts: 2392 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | Also, YES...this is INTERNATIONAL! :) YAY for the world! |
On the Record Posts: 5938 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 |
I'm guessing that the reason so many of your contests are US only is due the nature of the prizes, Copyright laws or something international trade related, am I right? |

I believe you mean "whole." Just saying. "Our flame wars are grammatically correct" |
Brand Manager Posts: 2392 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 |
Yeah, that is mostly what is has to do with. If we had our way, all of our stuff would be international...but sometimes that just isn't possible. We really try to create events that every community member, regardless of where they live, can participate in. |

I want that to be our slogan. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 730 Joined: 29 Feb 2008   | Is there anyway of changing your submission? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1054 Joined: 14 Dec 2007   | "The Escapist. Like other game sites, only not bleeding-eye horrible". What can I say, I've only ever found one forum besides this one that wasn't set up in a pants-on-head retarded way, and that one's not about games. God I love this place. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 567 Joined: 22 Apr 2008   | I'll do it for the badge! Now to think up a good one.. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1615 Joined: 16 Jan 2008  | Eh, entered. I don't think it's very good, but hey! Trying counts, something something... |
Brand Manager Posts: 2392 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 |
Well said sir. Trying counts and if you tried your best, who knows what will happen! :) |

Muckraker  Posts: 338 Joined: 12 Oct 2007   | Why do you need to know so much personal information to submit a slogan? I can understand needing it for the winners to send gift cards, but I'm very uncomfortable about giving out that kind of information just because. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 610 Joined: 27 Nov 2008 | So wait, is the slogan contest for the forums or the magazine, or both? |

YAY, GO WORLD! I honestly think that American only prize draws are really horrible and unfair, well, ALL region specific competitions are! |

This. Oh so much this. Definitley better than my idea. |
