It's a spam bot that copies a message and puts a link with apparently random text in it.

I have to wait three months!? Oh well, I may have ignored this contest last time, but no more!!! Count me in on this contest, Sniper!  :atkLove:
I'd be happy to have you.

I'm not going to go through the whole "pre-registration" stuff this time. Basically, what I'm going to do instead is have the prize vary depending on the number of qualified entries. That way, more participation is encouraged, and I don't have to pay $100 for a train wreck like last year.

Granted, the winners from last year's contest certainly deserved the prize in my mind, but the fact that I lost more than half of my participants really pissed me off.

To be honest, I'm no fan of cash prizes. So, if I do end up winning, (which considering the competition is unlikely.) I feel uncomfortable giving my personal information.  :atkCry:

Well, if such a situation arises, I can be flexible. I could gift some games on Steam if it comes down to it, or something of the sort.

PayPal is another option. Only snag there is that PayPal takes a small cut.

If it makes you feel any better Matt, I gave Yosniper my address last year after winning, and I have yet to be hunted down and killed :Kappa:

I guess the rabid bear he sent to you got stuck in the mail.

Not sure if my PM reply went through, so I'll just say it here.

The contest begins in March. I am happy to have anyone who wants to participate/judge post their hype about the contest before then, though.

I will make a formal announcement when the contest begins. I am working my schedule around another event, and I'm trying to be more forgiving with people's school schedules and such.

Just as a heads-up, I am not expecting a complete game from anyone this time. The minimum for a submission will be one area plus one boss, but more is usually better in my mind.

In the meantime, please keep posting ideas about the random dictionary word. If it is very obscure, however, please include a definition.

All right, well there are still a couple of weeks to get your random dictionary words in!

The special word will be selected by a roll of a die or a couple of dice, depending on how nice and round the total number winds up being.

Fear not! I will ensure that every word has an equal chance of being selected.
