Battle of the Forums -- Win your Share of $5,000

[MichaelCorfman]

If you're looking for the ancient Battle of Thermopylae where King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army, you've come to the wrong place.

If you're looking for a brand new Battle of the forums sponsored by ReferBack and arranged by Shane, one of our favorite affiliate managers, where members of GPWA and CAP will spin till the end, you are at the right place.

THIS battle will go down in history!

Battle plan… there will be 2 slot tournaments, which only registered players will see, which allows you to a chance to play both slots currently in the tournament build, namely Thunderstruck and Tomb Raider.

Each tournament will be 5 minutes with 5000 credits to spin!

Not happy with your score, want to push on for one last killing stroke? All entrants will be allowed one additional FREE “buy-in” PER TOURNAMENT – this will give you an additional 1000 credits and 2 minutes to deliver that final blow to your rival forum!

The Battle begins...
Date: Thursday, 20 September 2007
Time: 5pm/17h00 - USA (EDT/gmt-4)
Time: 10pm/22h00 - UK (gmt+1)


Each warrior with the most points in each of the two tournaments will be the Overlord for that specific slot and will each take home $1,000 cash!

There is a $5,000 prize pool:

I'll be there myself, and I hope you will be too. Fifteen minutes of your time for a chance to win one of two $1,000 prizes or one of 38 other prizes that total $3,000 with only 150 contestants all together is a truly incredible opportunity to play these slots.

Sounds very interesting but I must yell "This is Sparta!". It would be foolish to miss this event.

I received your email at 10:06am this morning, just a few minutes after this post. Did you resend, or are you getting the bounced message on an email that sent correctly?

I will be sending confirmation messages indicating we've received the registration.

Hi Steven,

I resent after reading your message below.

Thanks

Over at the CAP website there has been some discussion about on whose side those who are registered both at CAP and GPWA should play. Of course the answer is the GPWA. But I thought it was worth posting the dialogue here too!

Nice idea Shane, what happens if you are a member of both forums with same handle? Do you just pick your side?

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie.... The choice is clear.... You join the Brave Knights of CAP as we slay the Green Dragons from GPWA!

Assure your place in history and help us make the world safe for slot playing affiliates! Your kingdom needs you...

*checks out the size of Prof's sword* Your heard the man... *gulp* do as he says

Ultimately it's the alias you choose for the slot tournament (same way as when you had to create a poker alias) that you will play under... it can be different to your forum Nickname.

It's true there be dragons of emerald green hue at the GPWA!

And it's certainly true any knight at CAP who attacks them be brave.

But said knight hath the mind of a fool to challenge
the fire of the emerald dragons!



But it's also true there be knights at the GPWA!

Honourable knights with shields bearing "Approved Portal" seals.

And honour always prevails!



Better to fight on the side of honour than to die fighting honour!

Be part of this historic battle! Join in the fun!

[matted]

Wish I could join folks... Just isn't at the best time for me! Have fun, everyone!

[pgaming]

Good one Michael! most certainly be wearing the GPWA shield. The shield will mask my true nature "Spartan".

Some motivation perhaps?

Wish I could join too! Like matted I am just to tied up for one. I'm hosting a player tourny at the moment (thank you to the wonderful AM's). For two, I am dial up so I suppose by the time two minutes are up I will still be loading the welcome page lol! Just call me Wilma Flintstone.

Best of luck to you all and go TEAM GPWA! What a wonderful job by Shane!

[MichaelCorfman]

I'd love to play but could someone be my knight in shining armor for a minute and help me figure out what time the tourney starts in CST time.

The battle takes place Thursday, September 20th, at 9pm Greenwich Mean Time, or

11pm Central European Summer Time
10pm Western European Summer Time
5:30pm Newfoundland Daylight Time
5pm Eastern Daylight Time
4pm Central Daylight Time
3pm Mountain Daylight Time
2pm Pacific Daylight Time
1pm Alaska Daylight Time

If you're not sure what time zone you are in, just get up at 11am and drink whiskey until the tournament begins. That way if you have to wait a long time you won't care anyway.

Well, the Professor responded to my last post in the CAP forum as follows:

Me thinks my honorable foe has been drinking too much mead!

Me also thinks it being Friday evening I shall put down my sword long enough to take up a few hearty tankards of Rum at the Royal Pub too.

Sir Michael we will meet on the field next week, enjoy your folly now for next week at CAP we feast on the flesh of dragons.

Too much mead indeed! Me thinks there is no such thing!

And certainly there will be no feasting on the flesh of emerald green dragons!

So that we will be able to long remember our victory in the battlefield tomorrow I've added a new smiley to our repertoire - the green dragon.



Join us in the battle tomorrow. The deadline for signing up for the spoils has been extended until Thursday, September 20, at 3am EDT. There remains plenty of room on the battlefield for additional warriers.

Michael
