[HEADING=1]Have fun, and Good Luck to you all![/HEADING]

 

[Kuliani]

I approve of this message. Good luck!

Edit: After reading through the questions, without researching, I probably would miss 1 easy and about 5 hard.

 

[Cortheya]

Fantastic job on the quiz... I hope I won but I'm not sure.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Impressive Master Bra'Tac.

You plan on entering?

Impressive Master Bra'Tac.

You plan on entering?

No, I don't think it would be fair if I entered considering that I'm the Community Manager. Besides, I'm likely to buy it anyway, so folks that aren't able to afford it shouldn't have to worry about my entry.

 

[Andy Chalk]

I'm good for maybe seven in the first list and two in the second. Nice. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[TimeLord]

Woo I just entered and think I got them all right, had to look up only 1

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

(Taken from your group) And for the record, the "easy" set is hard and the "hard" set is wtf. Good luck.

That was probably the funniest thing I've ever read.
You know that half of the hard questions were taken from a quiz that I submitted for the normal Escapist quizzes?

 

[Caliostro]

Entered. Most of the easy questions are "general Stargate knowledge", but a lot of the Hard questions are quite difficult.

I do have a problem with one of the questions though, which I mentioned in my "reply".

That said, I'm surprised I knew as much as I think I did...



...I hope I knew as much as I think I did...

Me too, I mentioned it as well if it's the same one. None of the answers were correct in said question.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I approve of this message. Good luck!

Oh, well that answers my first question. I guess if you approve then it's not against the rules.

EDIT: So what? Do I just PM my answers to the respective contest holder?

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

Well, those were some hard questions. Still i think i got them all.
Must say, nice job on this guys

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

So what? Do I just PM my answers to the respective contest holder?

Yes.

I do have a problem with one of the questions though, which I mentioned in my "reply".

Yes it seems that one of my sources was off, so I'm just giving answer 1 (hard quiz ONLY) correct to everyone who answers it.

Sorry it was our fault for faulty information. We thought that it was all ironed out. xP

 

[Chickenlittle]

The one time I actually have a chance at winning something, and my computer isn't good enough.

;_;

Good luck to everyone else, though!

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Well according to my clocks here it is now 12:03PM meaning the Stargate Contest is now OVER.

Thanks to all that entered, the winners shall be notified in 2 days, maybe sooner.

 

[sogortheogre]

[Firia]

Sweet deal. As SG1 was building up to the fall of the System Lords, I was looking for a game based on the show. Sadly, only HL2 mods showed any hope of that, and they never came out (while I was looking). Glad to see that at last, Stargate is seeing something video game related.

In a marginally unrelated vein; Stargate Universe is pretty dang good! I was not a fan of Atlantis, so Universe was a nice surprise.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

So, does this get unsticky'd now?

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Damnit wish I had won
Oh well, guess I'm not as large an SG nerd as I thought.

*too ashamed to look at himself in his Stargate mirror*
Congrats to the winners.
