Personally I'd be looking at those who have supported SS over the years, whether financialy and or by other means and give due recognition.

Of course I exclude myself from the above.

Neal:

Giving away SH5 indicates you have friends to lose, right?

ANYWAY, how about a, "Most Humorous Subsim Anecdote" contest? Comical comment could be summed up in a thread that was open ONLY to people who don't have, but, "WANT" SH5, which, of course, is a whole different kettle of fish - pun intended. Entries could be voted on by existing Forum participants. Trust me: no one who currently has SH5 is going to lie and say they don't so's they can score another copy!

By the way, I'd be willing to donate my, "Experienced" copy of SH5 to the event...

Members make a "I want a Subsim SH5 game because..." sign.
Have them stand at any one of the numerous webcam locations throughout the world for a "publicized in advance" 30 minute period.

Subsim members can log on, view the "show" and vote on the person they (the members) think has the best reason.

Pro: How low will Subsim members go for a game? Advertising for Subsim. Members choice of best performance.

Con: Camera subject availability.

How about where you have to write the best excuse for not buying it. :D

LOL Last man standing.... my first thought was that it's a competition where the last guy who does not leave SH5 for some bettter game - wins :up:

My response to that is, anyone who wants to tackle SH5 is going to need some experience with the SH series with all it's bugs, patches and mods.

That's cold:nope:

let them lads write a submariners story, with at least xy letters/words long...

them with the best story (not copied of anywhere) wins

A destroyer depth charged us and we sank very very very very very ...// x989 "very"s //... very very very deep and died. The end!

My 1000 word essay is done!

Cough couch* Subsim hunt (like we did with the before)

and the ones who have Sh5 dont get it. even if they win, the one who lasts the longest who dosent have it does.

Ditto Jim! :up:

Why not give a copy away for the one who makes a proper fully working crack to play SH5 without DRM?

How about... because Subsim does not support piracy?

I liked the werewolf idea.

such activities are not to be promoted here

:har:

First post ( Neals) sums up all that is SH5 right now.

"I have to figure out a way to give this game away".
