Congrats too all
That would be a great way of deterring trolls "oh god lots of words run" . | |
Woohoo! At the current conversion rate, that's about $35,000 NZ dollars.... Cheers Colin | |
Nice work winners! I like all of 'em. | |
I still just want that nifty pen... | |
That one is my favorite, great job to all who won!
Maybe it will be the gift the staff gets at the staff Christmas party! | |
That is such a lovely pen... | |
I forgot to give a reason with mine. Woops. Well done for winning, winners. | |
"OMG!!1!!11!!!eleven!!1!!! A Pen!"-Were the First thoughts I had upon laying my eyes on the glorious pen. The following word were the second thoughts-"ME WANT NOW!" Congrats to the winners though. | |
Damn you Amazon Voucher, you elude my grasp once again... | |
Xitel's is still my favorite. | |
Whoa! Sweet! *adds that to his resume* Seriously, though. After reading through even the ones people were willing to post in the original thread, I'm in shock. Congratulations all, indeed. | |
No, but I did get some really nifty shuriken magnets, so it's still a win. | |
Were they shurikens of lightning? Sorry couldn't resist. Do the shurikens actually work?Because that would be pretty sweet! | |
It looks like a couple people took their cues from Enormicom.com ( http://www.37signals.com/enormicom ). | |
Geez, I didn't even think I'd be in the running. Thanks Escapist Staff. | |
...I'll get you yet, prize... and your little dog too... Congratulations to the winners, bastards to the man thought they are. | |
Congratulations to all parties involved. I'm thoroughly impressed with the simplicity, yet functionality, of the winners. Since I said I would, my submission was: | |
mine was "THE exit from boredom.", using the whole ESCAPE theme. but...whatever. congrats to all. | |
I liked "We have issues." better. But congrats to the winners. | |
Mine was, "Welcome, welcome to the Escapist, it's safer here." But on reflection it doesn't seem so good anymore. | |
Mine was "game chat matters". Also not very good upon reflection. | |
Well done to the winners.I don't mind not winning this one, really. That EvE one was the only one I got me hopes up for. Be damned if I don't enter anyway though! | |
Well played guys. You definately deserved it. | |
IT EXISTS?! | |
Congrats to all who entered and won. | |
Congrats. These probably beat my suggestion: "The Escapist, where stupid people need not apply." | |
Trust me when I say there were a lot of GREAT slogans. It was very difficult to bring it down to 5. | |
That pen needs to go on a diet. | |
awwww If I knew about this contest I would have won easily with | |
You know, I'd like to think a site like this would choose something a little funnier or to-the-point. The bland vagueries here all sound like capital M Marketing to me (my wife works in the Publishing Industry as a Marketing Manager, so perhaps I'm a little jaded by it). They're not bad at all, just sort of generic. You could apply them to any gaming website. My entry of "We have more than Zero Punctuation......promise" (with promise in italics) was obviously the right choice. :) | |
Good job to all the winners: My personal favourite was Adair_The_Skull's. Oh, and if anyone wants to know, I entered with: The Escapist: On The Right Page. | |
I don't understand why these captions won. Not only do they lack any creativity, but they are cliched and boring. Mine was at least worth a mention, I think. "The Escapist: Ensconce, Efface, Educe." It is perfect alliteration, and unless you have never read a book, you should know what the words mean, and that the phrase makes sense. To Escape, you first settle into a private, comfortable place. Then you you erase all prior preconceptions of yourself or the world around you- you start with a clean slate. Finally, you develop previously latent potential in yourself. All of these things make up the act of Escaping into a video game. | |

Thank you to everyone that participated in The Escapist Slogan contest! There were so many awesome slogans and reasons behind them, we couldn't pick just one, so we picked 5 to receive $50 gift certificates from Amazon.com.
