I was glad to get the PM. Winning such and awesome prize would lighten up anyone's day, and I'm glad they are offering it.

Good Job Escapist People!

And this goes to show that people will whine about anything (although I do understand the people from other countries not being able to win, but that's the law's fault, not the Escpaists!

Yeah, what's wrong with it? They give you a chance to win some cool stuff, and remind the people who don't know, and you're angry?

Is there something wrong with this picture?

Damn, I wish I could enter. I'm a US citizen, but I'm living in Austria until June of 2009, so I bet that disqualifies me as a "US resident."

EDIT: I do have a valid US mailing address, though. Does that mean I can enter? Anyone know?
They want an address, not an interview. You're fine.

Y'know, I'm not that interested in Fable 2, but I like that you guys are getting cash from it.

yep! I think you need to arrange some sort of prize that you can mail for all us second class Escapists who dont live in the usa. Just a Thought hey? seeing as though we help pay your bill's maybe some music cds or some downloadable game/s were not asking for the plasma and the elite just a little something to show you recognize all your users or maybe just close off the contest part of the site to anyone outside the US so no one is offended.

Though apparently every single contest requires you to be 18 or older (why is that?), so I should know that before I actually read it.
It's an odd beast, but when you're dealing with large amounts of prizes, you're basically paying the winner for some work, which means you've employed them...which means if they are under 18, you're bending the child slavery laws.
Similar rules apply to parental/guardian responsibility.

Yes, I know it's beyond stupid, but from my lawyer friend, that's the thing they have to be careful of.
IANAL though, so if someone can find out a better reason, please let me know...I'm fascinated as well.

I have one question regarding some wording:

Does the alignment we choose in our profile only get us an extra chance if it matches the alignment we chose for the contest? Or can we technically get a chance in two alignments?

It gets you an extra chance in whatever alignment you end up with at the end of the game. So you could end up with two chances in one alignment, or one each in two different ones.

I understand that I 'NEED' to enter this contest, but alas, I am not old enough.

Does this mean that Peter Molyneux will hunt me down and kill me in my sleep? More news as this develops.

The only major thing I'm concerned about as far as Fable II's advertising blitz is that if The Escapist reviews the game Gerstmann-gate will be at the back of my mind.

Then again, Yahtzee's bulletproof, so letting him have at it will do a lot for my faith in the site's editorial integrity. In light of how much fun his review of the first Fable was, the second should be a shining example of Croshaw at his best.

Can we get the address changed if we win? I entered my address (which is good ol Canada) and then read that it was US only. Luckily, I do have a contact in the states that I could ship things to. I just don't want to bother with the getting the info unless the off-chance occurs that I do win.

Read the whole post or the rest of the thread and you would have your answer.
