NOTE: THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!
I realise it’s been a while between challenges but with the imminent release of the full game it seems like a good time to launch the Coolest. Challenge. Ever!
That’s right, we’re returning to the land of superbright colours, bad hairstyles, strange dancing and groooovy chicks, man!
Yes, this week’s challenge is to create a creature you think would have fit into the disco dancing scene of the 70s and 80s.
Not sure what that entails? Perhaps you’re a little too young to know the 70s and 80s? Check out this YouTube video and you ought to get the idea. And possibly some bad flashbacks!
And since this is the final challenge before the release of Spore it seems fitting that this week… there be prizes!
NOTE: THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!
With thanks to the good people of Direct2Drive.com I have five – yes FIVE – copies of the full version of Spore to giveaway!
These copies of the game are the digital download version, the same one you can preorder from them now or buy as of the 7th of September.
NOTE: THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!
How to enter:
1. Create a creature in the Spore Creature Creator.
2. Make sure you put “sporedaily.com challenge” as one of the tags for the creature.
3. Include a groovy description for your creature. It doesn’t have to be 70s-80s related.
4. Upload your creature to the Sporepedia.
5. Reply to this post before 5pm, Wednesday the 3rd of September (Pacific Daylight Time), with the name of your creature and a link to the Sporepedia entry for your creature. Be sure to include a working email address with your comment (or have a working address attached to your Disqus account) as that is how I will contact the winner! Put the address in the “Email:” line, not in the comments box.
5a. (Optional) Include a link to a YouTube video of your creature busting some groovy dance moves!
Winners will be selected by me, based on how good your creature looks and moves, your creature’s description and the overall grooviness, dude!
Winners will receive one copy of the full game, Spore, available via digital download from Direct2Drive.
NOTE: THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!
Rules for entry:
1. You must be a resident of the United States of America or Canada. Sorry. As an Australian myself, I feel your pain, but Direct2Drive can only offer me copies for the US and Canada.
2. You must use a real email address when entering as I will need to contact you with details on how to claim your prize, should you win. Your address will not be recorded or displayed publicly, it will only be used to contact you if you win. If you cannot be reached to claim your prize it may be given to the next person in line. Add sporedaily.com to your mail filters if necessary!
3. One entry per person, please.
4. The judge’s decision will be final. No correspondence will be entered into, etc.
5. All entries must be posted PRIOR to 5pm, Wednesday the 3rd of September, Pacific Daylight Time.
6. Your creature MUST be tagged with the “sporedaily.com challenge” tag. I must insist on this to confirm that creatures are in fact owned by someone entering the competition. When the competition ends you are free – win or lose – to remove the tag, it is purely for the purposes of competition verification.
7. Responsibility for downloading the game is the winner’s. Spore Daily will not be providing DVDs, you will have to download the game from the Direct2Drive (Fileplanet) servers. As part of claiming your prize you will need to register a Fileplanet account. Registration is free.
8. The prize is not redeemable for cash. If you do not want a copy of the game, do not enter!
9. Reply to this post directly to enter, do not reply to another comment “higher up” or you will be disqualified. If you do so accidentally, there is an edit button available so you can remove your misplaced entry and enter correctly.
Failure to follow any of the above rules will result in disqualification. I realise there’s quite a few of them but I expect I’ve managed to forget something anyway. Ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse for rulebreaking.
If you would like to participate in the challenge but live outside the US or Canada, please clearly mark your comment “(Non-US/Canada)” so that I know to exclude your entry from consideration for the prizes.
And if you have not yet pre-ordered yourself a copy of Spore then I can recommend Direct2Drive’s digital download store, and not just because they’ve given me fantabulous prizes to hand out. Their system is simple and painless. It is, in fact, how I got my copy of the Creature Creator!
To order the game from the US/Canada store, please click here.
If you’re in the UK/EU, you can buy it from the UK Direct2Drive instead.
Take your time and make sure you submit your best entry if you want to win yourself a free copy of the game. You have until Wednesday!
(Please note, I have never given away anything remotely like this before so excuse the length of the above. I wanted to ensure all bases were covered.)
NOTE: Please wait a couple of minutes before reposting an entry you think did not go through. My site is cached to reduce server load so you may not see new comments immediately. Sorry for any confusion!
