Can I win a helmet?

[Relic]

Yup, DAMN YOU.

[Tiresias]

[Smit1000]

Wow nice site im joining right away.

[Obtuse]

Hehe, I like the merit system, pretty neat. D'oh, should I have said Buggo referred me? :x

[Relic]

Nah, don't bother putting my name.. I can't win anything :(

[Smit1000]

D'oh, should I have said Buggo referred me? :x


She cant win anything so dont :P Say i referred ya, smit1000... i want those points :D.

BTW how the hell are you meant to get 80,000 + merit points... I know there are missions but they only give u 1,000 each... and u only get 50 for each friend ... i dont have thousands of friends hehe.

Will there be other smaller prizes? Such as posters etc.?

Im enjoying the site greatly, very impressed.

[Relic]

Yeah they are putting up lots of other contests so you can win more points.. and some exclusive content as well.

[Druidika]

Too bad that prizes are only available to people living in the United States or Canada :(

[Smit1000]

Too bad that prizes are only available to people living in the United States or Canada

o count me out then, sigh.

[Trizzdog]

Mmm... winning a helmet would be nice, but I already have one (millitary, not a WWII one though :O) and.... I'm kinda lazy... so... yeah....

/me falls asleep

I did sign up for the hell of it though

[Bonnet]

haha, I just realized CJ used his name as the ref in the topic in #homeworld. Bastard :p.

[Shiroman]

My first post!!! I have an orange construction helmet to givaway.

[Pyros]

How many points for that?

[hybris]

Too bad that prizes are only available to people living in the United States or Canada
GAAAH!s

:(

(I got all excited just to be slammed down on earth this hard)

[Smit1000]

My first post!!! I have an orange construction helmet to givaway.

Yay!! cool i can become a village people person now! :dance: :yippee:

[Bonnet]

The able company website quiz section has a wrong answer. It says the Tiger's top speed was 28mph; however, its top speed was 38km/h or 24mph. Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_I).

[terracomm7]

bobet, Earlier tiger tanks had a top speed of 45 km/h ( 27.98 Mph ). You might want to read the article thoroughly since you seem to have missed that piece of information.

[Relic]

Everyone welcome Aldric.. (Shiroman) ... a designer for the SP part of CoH! :)

[Bonnet]

Well thats not fair :/. Yes you are quite correct; however, I maintain that question was unfair. :p Oh, and hi Aldric.

[DatonKallandor]

Hi Aldric. And the US/Canada only part is a real showstopper.


Daton

[LoneWolf666]

Fun. :)


In addition, you’ll get a chance to participate in the open beta of the game

Does this mean only the participants will take part in the open beta? :(

[Moe]

Hi Aldric, is Mokona one of your minions?

[santiago4ever]

Welcome to the forums Aldric.

And a real pity it's just the North Americans who can win stuff :/

I wanted that helmet *crawls into a corner and cries*

I read that as:

totally new meaning.

[NovaBurn]

Ah welcome to the forums Aldric, great to see more relic guys on the forums.

[Corsix]

And a real pity it's just the North Americans who can win stuff :/

I wanted that helmet *crawls into a corner and cries*My toughts exactly.

[CrimsonAngel]

And yet again my chance to get free loot is foiled on the counts of geography.

I have a good idea and a bad idea.

Good one:
Let's give out a lot of free stuff and get a lot of PR that way.
Bad one:
Make it a US/Canada only and Alienate a huge chunk of the gaming market....

[Random Person]

Hee hee hee, I already have one. Aswell as a German and Japanese. Well, they are really my dads, but I use them abit.

[Black]

Curses, I'm not old enough. (And I won't lie either)

[retroholyfire]

I have one of the machine guns off a spitfire so I'm happy enough :D shame I would have liked to try to win something else :( Damn geography!

[Shiroman]

:cranky: Hi everyone, thanx for the warm welcomes.

[JMA]

Ah welcome to the forums Aldric, great to see more relic guys on the forums.

As we get closer to wrapping up CoH I am sure you'll see more Relic guys dropping by the forums and playing online. Can't wait.

[Ax3]

Wow nice site im joining right away.
You cant, you disappeared off the face of the planet.

So therefore not allowed too.

[Soldier of Dest]

Wow there are so many relic members here. I love u all guys :D

[Commissar[PT]]

lol... and i will like them even more when they open up the "Demo Impressions" topic....

[retroholyfire]

2 Relic posters in a row...? 1 Week before CoH release there amy be more Relic people here than loyal to-be players!

[Soldier of Dest]

LoL yeah they'll talk to each other and nobody will mind us :D

@Topic: Able Company... --> :up:

[immortal44]

As we get closer to wrapping up CoH I am sure you'll see more Relic guys dropping by the forums and playing online. Can't wait.

This probally says as much as any positive preview could.

[Ein]

Blast... not old enough, and reluctant to lie. =p

Had I only been born one year earlier....

[darkelf]

Damn! Why? why? I'm not old enough!

[Adonis]

Wow, I'm late here. Welcome Aldric. And JMA, we'll be looking forward to seeing more of you guys on the forums and in the game lobby.

[Tranj]

All the previous Relic posters have been whipped sufficiently and are back at work.

[Ax3]

Ohhhhhhhhhh whipping

**Produce good games and whip people, what more do you want in a games company.

**Drools

[nah]

Buggo tell Aldric to spend less time on the forums and more time working on COH...or I could do it myself :D

[Moe]

Bah, heresy. Time on forums is like work. Or something. Time for a lunch break.

[Relic]

LOL, "nah" shouldn't talk. He's the one organizing all the company basketball games.

[Moe]

How you guys actually get any work done is beyond me.

[Tiresias]

my bets are on robots, but I also think an army of clones is likely.
