There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Foman, wouldn't this contest be considered soliciting on a privately controlled space?

Now, who's the party pooper??? Top that Foman!

Gnome, I wouldn't restrict them too much on how many panels they can have and all that.

Just get it in by the deadline, guys, and you should be fine.


so, I could send an entire self made bungie comic collection? >_>


In theory. However, I think they'd prefer if you just sent in one comic.

Okay guys, here is the offical statment on the length of your comic: "If you made it long enough that it doesn't make any sense, its too long."

3.5 more days people. Finish up and get those entries in!

* You must follow Bungie’s Code Of Conduct (failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification)

Ironically, this thread violates the Code of Conduct, as the CoC requires you to follow the Bungie.net Terms of Use. The ToU state that, "you agree that when using a Communication Service [defined as bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars, and/or other message or communication facilities], you will not: Conduct or forward surveys, contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters." (emphasis added)

Sorry to point this out. I'm sure that if the web team sanctions it then you're fine, though.


That's what is known as a CYA clause. The letter of the law is purposely broad, so as to keep Bungie out of trouble on certain things. However, the "Contests" that the Terms of Use really refers to is off site originating contests, things designed to generate traffic on other sites and whatnot.

Bungie has allowed contests like this to happen in the past, and for a couple it has even donated prizes (Check the Community Resources thread on this forum for a few examples. I plan on a contest of my own later this year, and I believe True Underdog has one in the brainstorming stage.

Contests that originate with this community, that are geared for this community, are acceptable as far as I understand it, and nobody has told me different.

In fact, upon retrospect (and seeking advice) I am going to see if I can get a clear answer on the matter. I will lock the thread for now. You have the information you need at the moment.
We'll let Achronos be the final judge on this, since it skirts a gray area.
Fair enough?

OK, the word is, the contest is OK, but prizes tread on legal issues. So we can do it for a pat on the back or noteriety, but the prizes may have to go. Tenatively unlocked. Sorry Gnome, I had to. Keep up the entries, I apologize for my disruption, but is better to have caution.

What would the legal issue be? I don't really see what could go wrong.

Legal issues such as who's eligible to win, what countries are eligible, is it legal to enter a contest for prize, the age of the player etc.

There are things that can be done, however, and if Gnome happened to have a friend, who had a website, that could sponsor it, and accept legal responsibility, etc....Bungie Fans all Over could participate, and it protects this site from legal quagmires. O.o Of course, he can keep it here if he has no prizes.

It's a damned shame, elm. Oh well.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of legal quagmires would a sponsor be getting into? I have a crappy little GooglePages blog that could post a prize given that I won't be facing any realistic legal repercussions and I don't have to post a prize myself. Come to think of it, I did get Joe Staten to sign a Halo 3 poster for me at Comic Con, but I really don't want to part with that.

  • 07.31.2007 11:42 PM PDT

Less than 24 hours left people. Get those entries in!

  • 08.02.2007 6:01 PM PDT

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

damn it no camera >_>

I would like to enter HEE's very own comic artist and his works into the competition but just for clarification can bungie include the Halo universe?

If you guys need I site I could hook you up, I could host it with HEE and maybe get a submissions page set up if thats what you are looking for. We might... might... be able too provide 1500 MS points for first place or something, I will have too check the dates.

I hope you didn't search for that.

Anyway, I'm in. This sounds fun.

Edit: Nevermind, obviously my powers of observation fail me. Didn't realize the contest was over. Sorry for my waste of a post.

Gah,
Sadly, we only recieved one entry in the two weeks that this thing ran for.
Here it is anyway. Nice job Fleury14, I lol'd
Too bad there wasnt more interest in this. Hopefully the next contest that gets put up will get a better response.
