I've seen a couple of solid contenders in even my shorty time reviewing stuff for AEntertainment Tonight. Mostly in the Hero category, though as there are very few Villain submissions at all.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.

I would enter, but there's no way I would win (assuming there was before) after they dropped the Crey "Paragon Protector" Lab map. That map wasn't the focal point of the arc, but Mission four is just "meh" on a regular map.
There are laws in RI and QC that make it prohibitive for anyone outside that state/providence to offer contests on their home-turf.
Unfortunately there's not a lot NCsoft can do about it, those residents should take it up with their own legislature.
Yeah Rhode Island has some stange rule sin regards to contests. They are often exculded from ALOT of things.
As for Quebec, Or France West, It obvously thier just to pompous to belittle themselves in some american sweepstakes.
Think I'm going to toss my A Case of the munchie arc into the ring. I don't expect to win, but then again, not entering assures that moreso.

So excluding an excluding... isn't that a double negative.| (excluding the State of Rhode Island, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, military installations and commonwealths, and excluding Québec) |
They excluded commonwealths excluding Québec.
So Québec would be included?
bwah?

Hopefully this will be something they do every year. I'd love to submit the Arc I'm working on, but I don't foresee getting it done in the next week.

It's actually because of these guys: http://www.racj.gouv.qc.ca/index.php?id=88&L=1 who control all games of luck and sale of alcohol in the province (and apparently do so only in French).
Plus, there would be a fee based on a percentage of the total value of the prizes to be distributed, which IMHO, is super lame.
Hurrah for government control.

I think they are under the mistaken impression that because the rep system is anonymous to us, that it must also be anonymous to the Mods. Something that they are likely to find out, is not anywhere close to the truth.|

It seems that someone has a grudge against the AE Contest, as others who have also started threads in their respective server sections have also been -rep'd.
