Hey all, this is tomnovint, Novint's CEO. This is the contest sign-up thread for the Team Fortress 2 portion of the contest we've been discussing on the following thread...
http://www.edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=98346
If you have comments or questions about the contest itself, please post to that thread.
This thread is only the signup to enter the contest. Please do not post comments, etc.
Please do the following to sign up for the contest. Preference will be given to people who follow directions
1. post a message on this thread to enter the contest. Include the following information
1a. your steam name
1b. your steam id (steam id's must have at least 5 hours of time played in the game to enter)
1c. your estimated skill level (noob, average pub player, decent, good, very good, pro, etc.)
1d. your location
2. You can sign up on 4 sites total. steam forums, edgegamers.org, halflife2.net, and our boards at novint.com. For each place you sign up, you'll get one other chance to enter the contest - like a 'ticket' to the drawing.
3. This step is important. Send an email to [email protected]. Including in the email all of the info from step 1 (#1a-1d), preferences on times that you can make a match (include as many times as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate them) (#2), and which of the boards you are posting at (steam forums, edge gamers, halflife2.net, and novint boards) (#3). If you say you'll join, you'll need to make sure that you find and sign up on the equivalent threads on those sites. I might not get them up right away at the other places, so just make sure you do it before the contest starts (we'll give the sign up threads a couple weeks, to make sure anyone who wants to get in, can get in) - it doesn't have to be before you send your email. We'll keep an excel sheet, tracking everything.
Here's an example email...
Hi, I would like to join the Team Fortress 2 Novint Falcon contest.
1a. your steam name: tomnovint[Falcon]
1b. your steam id: STEAM_0:0:11147211
1c. your estimated skill level: average pub player
1d. your location: Southwest US
2. I can play most anytime from 6PM-11PM MST, and on weekends most any time
3. I'm going to post entries on all 4 sites - Steam forums, Novint boards, Edge Gamers, and halflife2.net
thx, Tom
4. If you followed directions (didn't post more than once on a sign-up thread, posted all the info needed and just that info, sent the email as requested with all the relevant info, posted on all the sites you said you would, etc), you'll get one extra 'ticket' for the drawing for doing things correctly. Therefore, you can get up to 5 tickets for the drawing.
we'll coordinate most of the contest through email. We'll email a steam group to join as well, as the contest nears, but email will be the main method to coordinate contests.
Good luck. remember, if you have any comments/questions, post on the thread with this link (we want to keep the sign-up thread clean)

we will have a mirrored process for the Left 4 Dead contest, with the same type of signup. Feel free to enter both contests.
thanks,
tomnovint
