Yuri Van Vliet is in a bank in Paragon City when a psychotic villain shows up and starts wrecking the place. Immediately she goes into civilian mode, becoming indestructible yet running in an uncontrollably zig zag pattern.

If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.

Is it time to throw in the towel yet? Or is 2 posts when only 10 was needed still not enough. At this point, I think even changing the rules won't matter because no one will even look to see that the rules have been changed.

Honestly why not do an in game announcement about this or put it in the news when you login? I'd participate but I never know about it its not advertised enough.

Well, this particular Friday seems like a bad example. Weren't the forums down pretty much all day? I was mostly on the road yesterday, so I wasn't paying attention, but it seems to me it wasn't a fair test of the game.
