This
week we have something a bit special. Wargaming have supplied a number
of Prizes, and asked me to run some competitions to get the prize out to
you.
We have three groups of prizes up for grabs. The first group of prizes consist of one of the following:
- 4000 gold+15 days premium time,
- 1 fury tank and garage,
- 1 RAM II and garage,
- 1 Matilda BP and Garage,
To
win one of these all you need to do is write a short military history
article, then of the entries I'll pick the best four and allocate
prizes.
Next,
because writing isn't for everyone, we'll be holding a short quiz. From
the right answers I'll randomly select ten people, each will win a T127
tank and garage slot.
Finally
I have two World of Warships closed alpha test keys to give out. Just
answer that tricky question and you'll go into a draw for the keys.
So what do you need to do to win?
Write an article:
1:
Write
a short military history article, it can be about anything you like, as
long as its related to military history. The sort of stuff I've been
doing for the last 18 months. It should conform to these requirements:
The date range for the article should be 1900-1969.
The
word count should be about a minimum of 500 words, and not much longer
than 750 words (remember I have to read all of these!). Now that much
might sound like a lot, but trust me you can dash of 500 words without
even trying. I suspect you'll find it easier than you think.
2:
Place the written article in a email, along with your WOT account name and which server you play on and email it to:
historylisty-article@yahoo.co.uk
3:
Do not send it as an attachment.
Do not send it as a link to a cloud drive.
I
will not download files or click links. If the article is not part of
your Email then it will not be seen and your Email will be deleted.
4:
Finally,
I may want to use your article and post it on Overlords blog. Or
failing that I might want to use the idea contained in your article at a
later date. you have to be ok with that to submit. Don't worry I always
credit people who help out.

- V) Name the highest scoring British Empire ace from World War One.

ReplyDeletecan article be about cold war and space race?
ReplyDeleteMilitary history within that time frame.
DeleteAm I allowed to participate or would that be potentially bias?
ReplyDeleteJust have at it Ed. I tossed my hat in.
DeleteSo to win the WoT stuff, I need to write an Article or complete the Quiz and for the WoWS key, I need to answer the question right?
ReplyDeleteYes, you have to answer the question correctly and remember to post your Username and Server. It then becomes a random draw from among those that answered the question correctly.
DeleteI guess the winer will be announced via e-mail no ?
ReplyDeleteYup, I intend to do that
DeleteCan we do the article on specific people who had done something between those dates?
ReplyDeleteAnything as long as its military history with in the dates.
DeleteTrying to narrow any topic down to 750 words is tricky, taking a solid subject and nerfing it down hmmm
ReplyDeleteHard isn't it! A previous company I worked with demanded that all articles be 500 words. Which meant more time with scissors and twisting sentences to keep their meaning but wrap it up in less words.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCan u please provide some clarification about several quiz questions?
1) Must say: this' very ticklish question.
-- "armoured fighting vehicle" is actually a AFVs of today or also any 'normal' tank of ww2? The classifications, though.
-- Couldn't find anything about that sort of statistic at trustful sources, frankly. It makes this question is some sort of a difficult one, due the subjective pov.
And just to be clear, u need the type of that vehicle, and not the highest scoring tank ace guy's name, right?
3) Ticklish question as well. The ''by the end'' and ''almost'' lead for guessin' it. I probably know the right answer that u/wg expect for, but yet, that answer won't fit to ''by the end'' thing. And if u skip that answer, and assume the right answer is the other one, than comes the ''almost'' thing. Oh.
5) This one is about... tank-ace? This is a WOTanks prizes, right?
6) COME ON! At least let us know the question! :)
P.S. is it possible to get gold instead of that 127? ^^
Good article :D
