Dateranoth Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 CONTEST OVER:Winners:Cody, PeeKnuckle and AudaciousKevinI have up for grabs three Introversion Complete Packs from Steam! This includes the games: Darwinia, DEFCON, Multiwinia, and Uplink. The beauty of which they all require minimal system requirements ( pretty much any modern computer can play them). They are also each great games in their own right.You can check them out here:http://www.introversion.co.uk/In honor of those war games I have decided to host a Battleship contest! The rules are simple:Here is the battlefield:On my battlefield are ships:1 - Four Cell Ship2 - Three Cell Ships3 - Two Cell Ships4 - One Cell ShipsThat is a total of 20 cells that my battleships occupy.To enter the contest, PM me your entries. There will be no response to hits. Each person is allowed 20 guesses ( please send them all at once ) to try and hit my battleships. You can either A) send me grid coordinates ie. A1, B3, etc or download the above jpg and color in the 20 squares you want to pick and send the jpg to me. You can of course post your guesses in the thread if you want, but this will give away your battle plan to the enemy so the choice is yours!The top three people to hit the most battleships wins!The only hints I will give are that my ships are RANDOM and none of them are nose to nose. Each ship also has a space around it, so no ship is touching another ship including diagonally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dateranoth Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 The contest is over and the winners have been chosen. We'll start with my battlefield:The contest was pretty close all the way around and there were a number of ties. As a matter of fact we had a tie for 1st place, but luckily there are multiple copies so that settles that. On to the damage done to my navy:As you can see our winners are PeeKnuckle and Cody tied for 1st and AudaciousKevin coming in 2nd. PK and Cody please PM me your email and/or SteamID and I will send you your Introversion Complete Pack. Kevin, please PM Skylark95 with your information and he will be forwarding you the last one. Thanks everyone for playing!Everyone's submissions can be found here:http://dateranoth.co...versioncontest/Including a spreadsheet I used to add up the hits. Please feel free to check your shots against my ships. If there are any errors that would have meant you winning a prize I will be happy to give you a prize as well for my mistake.Thanks again everyone and enjoy!

Kevnvek Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Sweet, thank you very much, Dateranoth. And congrats to PK and Cody. This was a cool idea for a contest.Man, I've gotten something from the last two contests I've entered, I guess I might need to hold a small contest of my own to make up for it.

Cody Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Wooh! Thanks Dat, I've been wanting to play Darwinia. I really didn't think I was going to win, I didn't have much strategy just went ape **** with my purple in MS paint. Congratulations PK and Kev.

eminutia Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Congrats guys. Really sorry I missed this contest, I usually skip over them because I'm never eligible for them, with me being in Canada and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
