MAG Beta contest

MAG Beta contest

The MAG beta starts today, and I’ve got my grubby little hands on five codes for you fine folks.

One of the private military companies in MAG is named S.V.E.R. Think of something this name could stand for.

The codes will be given to the most creative entries – they can be funny, clever, whatever you think is best. To enter, send an email to willeth@gmail.com with the subject line MAG BETA CONTEST. One entry per person – if you send multiples, only the first one will count. The competition ends at 6PM GMT on Saturday, September 19th and is open worldwide.

UPDATE: The contest is over. The winners are as follows:

I felt that these two entries really captured the idea of what one of these factions would name themselves. Plus, something about the word ‘rapscallions’ entertains me greatly.
Joe C:  Some Very Energetic Rapscallions
Pete C:  Stealthy Vagrants Exacting Revenge

I really like Rob’s idea of using the initials as a motto. This reads very much like a sound battle strategy.
Rob G: Shoot, Venture, Evade, Repeat

I found the mental image that coupled Ryan’s entry simply hilarious. With an entry like this I couldn’t not give him a code.
Ryan S:  Sombreros Visually Excite Raticate

And finally, the crowning glory of the piece.
Russ G: Sony Values Every RROD

All winners have been sent an email with their code to the address with which they entered. I was inundated with entries for this, and it was hard to cull some of them from the winning pile – a special mention goes to D.C.’s Sonic Vs. Eggman Robotnik, which was very clever but unfortunately not quite structurally sound enough to warrant a win.

The beta runs, on and off, until November 8th – if you won, hope to see you online, and if you missed out, keep an eye on my Twitter feed for a chance to win over the next few weeks!
