I have [edit: make that had] 5 Steam keys for Divine Divinity to give away. EDIT2: The contest is over. Thanks to everyone who entered and all who participated in the forum discussions. Simply describe the game in 140 characters, or less. If you can not contain your verbosity to within such a diminutive restriction, then use a few more characters... but then you'll have to do it in the form of a haiku or a limerick (I checked, there is no Nantucket in Rivellon), or something. Just be creative (and brief). Email submissions to raze@larian.com, with 'Divine Divinity contest', or similar, in the subject. You can enter multiple times, if you wish, but only win once. In the event of similar submissions, the first received will be given priority. The contest will run through the weekend, with judging to occur Monday, and the winners announced late Monday or early Tuesday, and contacted by email with the Steam key. I will confirm receipt of entries, but not by autoreply, so don't expect an immediate response. When the contest is over all email will be deleted, and only the addresses of the 5 winners will be kept. EDIT: I've gotten a couple paragraph style descriptions, which wasn't really what I was aiming for. An example from a Russian contest to describe DD in 140 characters is "the bastard child of Planescape Torment and Diablo". I wanted to allow a little more flexibility, but still have a poetic / structural limit. Also, I don't want to read dozens of essays.
There are only a couple days left to enter the contest. I have not been flooded with responses, so if you have an inkling of an idea, give it a shot; you might just win. If you are reading this at work Monday morning, you can check sports scores and update your Facebook status later; a little creative exercise practically counts as professional development. Submissions will be accepted up until the winners are announced.
Wow a few suggestions would be: Broken in 40 minutes... Buggier than a baby bugbear in a pushchair! Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a plot! Steam Really??? Should have gone to GOG.com!
The contest is now over, and the winners will be contacted shortly. It was tough picking the 5 best, but here are the entries (shortest first): B.B. I'm surprised that I only got a couple entries using alliteration. Pessimeister (RPGWatch forum) J. and a second entry is worth mentioning: D.S. A.P. I'll post some runner-up descriptions, as well, though unfortunately do not have any consolation prizes. There were other entries just as good (maybe even better), but I should probably have less runner-ups than winners. M.M. T.P. D.O. B.A. Thanks to everyone who entered and all who participated in the forum discussions.
