Drawing to win Guild Wars 2 Collector's Edition

Okay, I'm just going to start out being totally honest here.

I know that most of the people reading this forum already own Guild Wars 2.

I'm not that interested in the figurine that comes with the Collector's Edition.

I'm frugal (and I have other expenses that take priority, like a fence, home repairs, and possibly a new vehicle in the next 3-6 months), so I can't justify dropping $60 on a computer game, even if it's the most popular game in ToJ right now and I really want to play with you all. Even if I could justify it, the last and ONLY game I ever spent $60 on was StarCraft II and I still don't know if I got my money's worth. (I played Brood War in StarCraft 1. It's a long, sad story.)

Phew. Now that that's out of the way:

Digital Spy is holding a contest (well, really more of a drawing) to win a Collector's Edition of GW2. Also, 3 people will win the Standard Edition. You enter by following their Twitter feed and posting some annoying spam to your followers. But that's not a big deal because everyone has a second Twitter account specifically for entering contests, right?

...Right?

...Just me, huh?

Anyway, that's how you enter the contest.

So here's my proposal: Those of you with spam accounts or those willing to annoy their friends with a spam tweet (which, let's be honest, probably comprises 95% of the content on Twitter anyway) AND interested in that shiny figurine, go ahead and enter the contest. If you already have a copy of GW2 and don't have any other candidates for a second copy, send me the code. You keep the figurine, the box, all that. Just send me the license key (or product key or whatever they're calling it). You can then proudly display your figurine on your desk or workbench or...wherever put people put figurines, I don't know, those things are expensive.

And if you win and you give the new copy to your sibling or parent or friend or whoever, that's cool, too. Just don't tell me about it. :p

Sound good?

Well, here's a link to the drawing anyway. The window of opportunity closes August 31, so you might as well spam all the Twitters sooner rather than later.
 
Odd that I was just talking to you about having created a Twitter junk account and this comes up [spooky music] ooooh eeeee ooooh [end spooky music].

Hey since I am a Twitter newbie do I need people following me for contests like this to work? Because I thought it was required to activate the account I added some people and un-followed them later. Hopefully they won't follow me and get spam XD.

If I win I'll let you have it for the cost of an additional forum title (and any shipping though it should let me ship direct). I'm thinking Toj TF2 Chapter Leader & Official CGA/Toj Adorable Mascot :D . Hey I need something for when the TF2 hats stop flowing:p . Edit: No wait I thought of something even better. In support of my efforts to get people to watch older programs, back when television and movies were good, I'd get you to watch an episode or two. Something awesome like this. It's so good, no sex or cussing, men being manly, women being girly and a Hero with morals I can actually agree with. Sigh, must crusade to save people from modern garbage!

Edit: I feel so dirty having a Twitter and Facebook account now even if it's for spam XD :p .
Edit: The only reason I didn't create a second Twitter and Facebook account for spam today is I'm not going to be using the first for anything but spam for a looooong time.

Tek, I hope someone can win you a copy. I would enter, but I REFUSE to get a twitter account, even for spam.

The allure of free loot on a game I play got me signed up. I held out for years though. I can always change the e-mail to my junk netherworld one, the name to Enrique Gerbo and fade it away if I change my mind.

Contest/drawing ends tomorrow!

Then begins the waiting for GW2 to go on sale for $40!
 
Drawing ends today!

I'm checking the Digital Spy Twitter feed now and then to watch for when they announce the winners, though it may be tomorrow before they do.
 
The drawing is now marked as closed, but I don't see any announcement of winners. I also didn't receive any Twitter direct messages. :(

I don't suppose anyone in LoE might have won?
 
I'm hoping that "closed" just means "not taking more entries" and "we'll pick Kenny and Tek and let them know they've won soon." :D
 
Looks like Kendrik and I didn't win. :(

@robertsammons Hi, please see your DMs re: GW2 comp - thanks
@cicatrixtwigs @MattyCrossley @Ph1ltheee Hi - please see your DMs re: GW2 comp. Thanks
Congrats to the winners, though, whoever you may be!

Alas. Will just have to get my copy the ol' fashioned way.

...rob a game store. :D
