The minecraft litterature contest! Minecraft beta acc!. [Presented by Gird3r]

[Gird3r]

Minecraft litterature compentition!

We all know how it is. It's that goddamn epic game that some of you wants but cannot buy for various reaons. Or you simply cannot afford it.
Well, how about I give you the chance of an lifetime?

I present to you, Exclusive to the Argonath RPG players, an chance to grab an FREE copy of minecraft

That is right. However, there can only be one winner. My funds are limited, and so. I can only afford one copy of minecraft.

Here is the price!

An free copy of minecraft. Account type will be beta!
With this in mind. The beta account will net you all updates for free until the full release of minecraft. Any updates shipped after that is not guaranteed to be free updates (as notch will change the license of minecraft. Any and all alpha purchased accounts will still be subject to the old license, wich means free updates for aslong notch develops the game in some form. The free updated for aslong notch develops the game does not count for beta accounts.
Once again, I stress the fact that the copy you can win is beta! Therefor, I am not held viable for any form of WTF if you do not get free updates after full release.

Now, for what you need to do:

The compentition is about having some good writing skills. In short, that means creative and fantasyfull litterature about minecraft. This means in short that you are going to write an story or litterature of some sort that contains only minecraft related words. Argonath RPG is not an topic in this subject.

For those of us with less grammar skills in english, do not worry. The judging is more about how creative and fantasyfull you are. This does not however mean that you can WRITE LIEK THIS PLS PLOX LOL. Serious attempts is only counted. If I see any sort of writing in the submits that contains any sort of flame, rulebreaking or any of that sort, is disqualified.

Here is what I expect of those who will attempt to apply:

*Should follow the Argonath RPG rules fully.
*Should be as clean as possible in regard with bans and such on Argonath RPG, you may still submit, but it will have lower priority.
*This WILL be an biased judging. Why? I am sponsoring this with my own money. If you do not win, do not complain. Any complaints and whine in my pm will be instantly reported to forum moderators or Forum admins.
* Judges are: Gird3r and an IRL friend of mine that I will not disclose the nickname.

Terms of service:

1. I am not held viable for any loss on your part.
2. I will be saving all and any checks and proof of purchase of the code. Yes that includes your nickname on minecraft.net if problems should arise.
3. Those who already own an minecraft account (purchased copy) may not apply. If I find out. I will request an refund and the account terminated. You have been warned.
4. I am not responsible for any technical problems or accidents in general that prevents you from using the purchased copy if you should win.
5. Notch and c.o aka Mojang is responsible for your account, not me. I am not responsible to provide any support other than neccessary to get your account working if you should win. Anything other than that is outside of this.
6. I may disqualify any players without giving an reason for it. Once again, this is from my own pocket.
7. Any form of cheating will result in an disqualify, if I find out. The account will be requested for refund.
8. You cannot work togheter with eachother. What I mean is that you cannot submit litterature togheter and so on. Your own mind is in this, not others.
9. Only english. No other language accepted.
10. Compentition rules and terms of service may change at any time, notification will be given in this topic.

If you agree to these terms. You can enter the contest. However, break any of these terms and/or any of the rules for the compentition will result in an disqualify. If I find out about it later if you have won, your copy of minecraft will be requested for refund.

I wish you goodluck. Make sure to read the terms carefully. Failure to do so is not my responsbility, you have been warned.

I also reserve all rights to cancel this compentition at any time if any serious problems arise. Once again, you have been warned.

Good luck people. 

[I forgot to add that beta accounts will still recive bug fixes and updates for that sort of problems even after full release. As according to notch.]

Good luck to those taking part.

Don't let this go to waste guys!

I do have some checks that need to be fullfilled if i'm going to fix this copy:

*Atleast 25 unique user submitted. This means atleast 25 people needs to parcipitate for me to continue this contest. I do not want just 5 people to submit. I want to see some contest.

This is something that you cannot miss out on.

[Squeak]

Will participate.

[LoCoMoToR]

Hey, uhm, i got a question : D
do i have to register on the minecraft website now? or if i win will you do that for me?
just a question, not implying anything.

[LoCoMoToR]

wrote my story and already submitted it. thanks Gird3r for hosting this!
since i can't buy it because of needs of money, i hereby thank you for giving me a chance to win this valuable game.  :hurray:

[Gird3r]

DO remember people that this is not just an simple "game", by submitting material to me you are agreeing on terms on swedish laws.
However I trust you people to not break the terms of service/rules given.

I once again wish you goodluck.

[LoCoMoToR]

How many entries is there right now?

[Gird3r]

Currently there is only one entry.
I once again want to remind you all that there needs to be atleast 25 submits if there is to be any contest at all.
Why not submit? You have nothing to loose, and i'm eager to see what you can come up with.

I will manually review all the litterature sent in.

As you asked LoCoMoToR, let me tell you how it works.

When I am asking you guys about your name on minecraft. I mean an name that you have taken. I will also ensure to not only one time, not only two times. But triple check that the minecraft account you have choosen is real and belongs to you. I strongly suggsest you register the name you want right now, and do make sure to choose an password on minecraft.net that you will remember. Since if you forget it, it's not my duty to help you get the account back!


I do stress the fact also that if you include any lies (also on your IRL name) you will be disqualified. So be honest to me and do not lie. I also guarantee that all information (IRL name being the most important) stays an secret. Here's the privacy/misc terms that I forgot to add:

1. Your Real name will not be sold, submitted, told to any 3rd party. The name stays with me.
2. Any information and documents you submit will not be shown to public. An exception to this is if you agree for it to be shown in this topic after the contest has ended.
3. You retain copyright on all fictional content in the submits, however. Any names or ideas used that does not belong to you (for example the name "Minecraft") is copyright to thier respective parties.
4. Expanding on point 1. Your irl name is an secret aslong as you wish it to be.

If you have any questions about any terms or rules, feel free to PM me.

[Gird3r]

The money is on the way to paypal now. Any leftover money will be donated to Argonath RPG.

[Gird3r]

Due to unforseen money problems, I will have to withdraw the money I inserted into paypal.

However, this does not mean the contest is ending.

But it does mean this will be delayed.

Therefor, the new date for the last day of entry is set for February 30.
SO keep working on the litterature, because the donut lord is waiting to see some more fine submissions.  :cool:
As an added bonus, Not all of the money will be withdrawn, and I am planning to donate the leftover money to Argonath RPG.
