Blast From the Past!

Post by Coops »

Way back when most of you were still finding one end of a joystick from the other we used to run monthly competitions for suggestions for the news items that you see in the header. Those are the Green text ones that are NOT about players finding XYZ or a Raid or a Settlement :)

These are fun snippets of news. They have to be short and sweet and not contain any thing offensive or that would go against the grain of the general CE ethos.

I thought as we have a lot of new blood these days that I'd see if you fancied having your chosen news snippets immortalised in CE. Of course there are a few rules, but there is Prizes! We all love Prizes:

I'll run this till March (1st) and see how we go with it. If its a flop I'll retire the idea, if not we'll roll with it once in a while.

#Rules
1: You may enter as many times as you like, with as many single line news snippets as you like.
2: Each entry MUST BE 50 Characters (including spaces) or BELOW Ideally below.
3: Try to stay clear of Religious or inflammatory topics, they simply wont be chosen as winning entries.
4: Make them as fun, as possible.

Prizes
On the 1st March I will draw as many winning entries as I can from the entries.

For EACH of your entries drawn I will award:
500 Fuel Ticket
500 Festive Points
1 Months PA


This competition is open to all (staff included), if any member of the VI / Blind community need help posting let a staff or myself know.

Competition Closes Midnight on the 29th of February

Extended till the end of the month
