First of all: On the Raffle page, by "Unit" we mean your house number, so it's not only for people living in appartments and it's not which your favourite StarCraft unit is either.

That's what I figured, but when I tried to submit with it blank (I live in a house, not an apartment), it told me it was a required field...so I just put in 1.

"Unit" there is apartment number or whatever, not a Starcraft unit.

Also, my favorite thing about this entire contest is that the raffle sign up has a Win button.

Never seen an address requested in that format before. Fortunately tl had the answer.

FEEDBACK FOR STAFF:

The new "Sponsored Threads" category kinda made me sad because it got rid of the section where I usually end up staying.

It didn't really add much importance to the threads in it's category.

The "NEW!" tag made all the difference, I was immediately captivated (ooh look, its like when I get a PM) and adding this tag makes the thread stand out SOOO much more.

TY :~)

nice idea that contest but as usual you need probably some months to build a decent warhammer 40k style diorama so i have to pass out

I was thinking about doing this, too.. I was going to build 6'x6' Lost Temple replica, with the Alienware logo as a depression in the middle courtyard rather than the normal circle brick thing that's there...
I was going to have 3 separate engagements going with units, and try to mold the units out of that special modeling clay that is quite dense and holds form under heat.
Then I read that the USA wasn't included in the contest >_>

Back in the day when I used to play warhammer 40k, it took us roughly 2 weeks to build a field working an hour a day after school. I'm sure now that I have the proper understanding and tools- if I had all the pieces I could make the map in about 8-12 hours... The units would probably take about 30 minutes each to get a basic shape and then use my X-Acto knives for the detail- and a scoring blade to add the different color detail clay...
I was so excited to build it, too...

Hey all,

I am back again. For those wondering what will happen with their application into the Raffle when they filled in a wrong number or a StarCraft unit under "Unit" in the application form, you needn't worry. Should you end up winning the computer, we are not just going to put it in the mail and you might see it arrive one day, we will contact you per e-mail and doublecheck all the information given and hand you some extra details about how, what and when. So all those who happened to have wrongfully entered the "Unit" field, your worries can be laid to rest.

We have checked and the reason for some countries being included and some others, seemingly apparent, not, is linked with the way those countries organize their internet laws. Some countries would see this Contest as being illegal (according to their internet laws) and others would require a special permission, which are very hard to obtain. It is therefore with regret that we cannot include those countries in the list, but the problem unfortunately lies with the respective countries' attitude towards internet-based competitions.

Should you have further questions, you can post them here or send me a private message, I will check back regularly.

Greetings
