After a long, torturous morning on the battlefield, you may find yourself coming back to the base with an infuriating disposition.
You unload your gear, you lay down on the nearest cot, and that’s when it happens. Over the loudspeakers blares the crackling voice of the oh-so-familiar Base Announcer.
“Attention All Personnel: The new base announcement contest begins today. Your sarcasm and overall witticism is requested immediately. That is all.”
This is where YOU come in. We’re challenging you to devise your very own Base Announcement that, if chosen, will make it into the game!
Once you are happy with your work, record your message and email us your entry. Only one Base Announcement entry per person and email address will be accepted.
Please make sure that your entry is audible, as all entries that cannot be heard and understood will be automatically disqualified, as will all entries infringing on any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, any privacy, publicity or publishing rights of any third party, or deemed libellous, obscene or otherwise contrary to law.
All submissions will be judged equally on the following criteria: originality, creativity, quality and presentation (bad spelling/grammar will work against you so make sure to spell-check your work). There is a maximum word limit set at 50 words so make it compelling!
A group of finalists will then be selected by NC Interactive, Inc. and the Development Team will pick 4 Grand Prize winners (1 US English, 1 UK English, 1 French, and 1 German) from the group of finalists. The First Place winners will then get to have their entry recorded professionally and implemented into the game! Then 8 Runners up from the finalists will receive some great Tabula Rasa® merchandise and their entry posted on the official RGTR website.
05:59am GMT, Monday 10th March 2008 (11:59pm Central Time, Sunday, March 9th 2008) is when the contest ends and all your submissions must be received by then! No entries will be accepted after this date.
By entering, you agree to all of the terms and conditions in the Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa Base Announcement Contest Official Rules and Conditions (below), so please make sure you read them carefully. By entering the contest, you also agree that you are over 18 years.
Good luck! We look forward to listening to your entries!
