Are You The Biggest Command & Conquer Fan?
Are you? Yesterday, myself and a lot of other C&C webmasters and non-webmasters received the following email from Aaron Kaufman:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are You The Biggest Command & Conquer TM Fan?
Prove it! The producers of Command & Conquer (C&C) want you to create an original video showing your C&C pride
This is your ONE chance to define your place in C&C history. All it takes is passion, a little bit of humor, and a 3 minute video showcasing why YOU are the biggest C&C fan in the world!
Over the past 10 years, you've seen archetype characters such as Tanya, Kane, Yuri, Alexander Romanov, CABAL, President Michael Dugan, Albert Einstein, and more, come to life in the vast C&C universe. These memorable characters defined a classic cinematic period of videogame history that hardcore fans of C&C will never forget. Now is your chance to become a part of C&C history by showing us why YOU are one of the biggest Command & Conquer fans ever.
We’re looking for you to submit the most entertaining fall-off-your-chair-laughing videos proving your undying devotion to C&C. Maybe it’s you dressed as Kane reenacting your favorite cinematic from the game… Perhaps it’s you showing us your fancy website... Or maybe the life-size GDI tank you built in your garage… Or maybe it’s a memorable match that changed your life. It’s up to you, but we want your very best.
We’re also looking for any photos or fan art you’ve created. This could be of you at the top of the Swiss Alps holding a C&C Gold box...Or a drawing of Tanya (rated Teen please)…Anything to get our blood pumping with C&C.
Whatever you submit, make it your best! We have something BIG planned, so make sure to check out www.CommandAndConquer.ea.com on November 3rd.
Submissions must be received by: 12pm on November 14, 2005. No exceptions.

So, do you have any free time for this impossible mission? It might not be impossible for you, but for me it is, since all the mailing services that I can use in Brazil are unable to send a mail (with priority) in 2 weeks to the USA, even with the mail leaving my country in only 2 days. Or a certain EA Gift Pack for Open Map Competition never arriving at my home and not even logged in FedEx database. I'm starting to believe there is a conspiracy or I'm being acused somewhere of being a terrorist or... being linked with terrorist activites. (In this case, the terrorist activity would be this site or Revora )
Anyway, in short, I wish everyone else a great luck, but I won't be able to participate from this one.
And remember, on November 3rd there will be something 'big' at http://www.commandandconquer.ea.com. Make sure you check it out on thrusday... it could be a new game, a new patch for Zero Hour, a new W3D exporting tools? I don't know... maybe a new site for C&C series? Maybe it's better to not expect the heaven, but it should be something good.
If you want to send your submission to EA, you'll need the following forms:
I will travel into space and put the Yuri flag upon the moon and I will be crowned THE TRUE C&C FAN!
*Cough* Ok so how we're gonna get to the moon again?
I know!
Giant Ladder,
Nuclear Powered UFO,
Nuclear Detonated Chair w/ Breathing suit,
Hijack a Shuttle,
Stowaway in a Shuttle,
The possibilities are endless!
(Seriously though.. it's a good idea! But I don't know what would be "memoriable" enough to blow the competition (Or how to get there or get the materials ) ) _________________
I really love the terms, especially what they amount to.
Welcome to the real world. It doesn't really imply that they intend to rip you off, I have seen similiar terms from more or less every corporation holding some kind of contest. _________________
Hmm.. I was thinking of submitting a music video kinda thing I did a while ago but after hearing you talking about that it wouldn't arrive for two weeks I'm having second doubts... I live in Sweden so.. I did send a mail to U.S.A once, and it did take some time.. Well whatever.. Those terms are pretty "strict", yeah. So what it means is, they can show it to everybody they want and change it and everything but you won't get any credit for it?
He said that this is your chance of making C&C history or something like that, what does that mean? The only thing I can think of is being in the next C&C game somehow...
And the prizepack isn't in the FedEx database? Maybe you should contact Aaron and see what's happening? And btw, how will the free game of choice and the money (as it says @ the CNC community OCM section) be given out?
Anyway, I feel something good is coming towards our way in the C&C community I mean not even EA is foolish enough not to make any more C&C games, just wish WS was still doing em, twas more.. magic or something over it... _________________

While you all moan and groan over EA, I'm going to go build my new computer.
For I find this little "Event" is a poorly conducted one by EA in hopes to get more fans and more selling from their fucked up C&C Series... _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
