Where's the Winner?
« on: May 22, 2006, 11:02:19 AM »
We've got the winner for PGC's DS Lite Contest, but we can't find him!

Daniel Solem's entry for our recent DS Lite Contest was great, and we were excited to award him his fabulous prize, but unfortunately, he hasn't responded to our confirmation email, and by not doing so, he isn't eligible to win the new handheld. We'd hate for him to have just forgotten to check his inbox, however, so we sure you're reading this, Daniel! Reply back from the email you used to submit your entry, and we'll get you your DS Lite right away.    


Unfortunately, if we don't recieve a reply ASAP, we'll have to disqualify the winning entry and move on to the runner up, Zhen Yu Li.  So hop to it, Dan, or Zhen's gonna steal your prize, and there won't be a cage match to win it back if you're slow on the draw!

I am Karl Castaneda's news-posting clone, also known as Karl Castaneda #2. I have an inferiority complex, thanks to my being a clone. Fear me!

(And decoy's tiny speck of hope whirls away like a pebble down a bottomless pit. )

Aaaaand... I'm over it.

Wow, tough situation indeed, KN. Daniel will be kicking himself, and Zhen will know he was this -><- close...

More than likely, yes.

That'd be rough. I should've entered this contest. Luckily I've freed up a bit of credit for mid-june and my new DS lite. It is a mid-june release, eh?

Ummm...

So, what are the chances that both Daniel Solem and Zhen Yu Li are stranded on an uninhabited desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (an uninhabited desert island that doesn't have a net connection!) and I'm in 3rd place?  Pretty good, right?  Eh?

Let's see if I can make a 'Lost'-esque conspiracy theory out of this -

Daniel Solem's initials - DS?
Zhen Yu Lite?
DS in first place, Lite in second place -
But it won't be released in the U.S. in June!

Daniel Solem and Zhen Yu Li are being held hostage by Satoru Iwata until they're put up for a ransom of $1300,00.00 in June - someone contact Jack Bauer!

I don't know what Rob is talking about. I'm Daniel Solem.

Shame you're not eligible for this contest.  Neither am I.  
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

What drama! What intrigue!

How much longer can this suspense last? (i.e. - When's the cutoff for Zhen to become the winner? )

I still stick to my theory that you're keeping it for yourself.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Hey, do you guys think you can post the winner's entry and the runner up's entry as well? I'd love to see both their ideas. Also, how close was the race between the two? Did Dan win by a landslide of votes or was it neck and neck?

Both of them were very, very good. I'll be posting them both, along with a secondary runner-up later today.
