Prize support not comparable with a US DMF. So much for somebody taking the flight or a home entertainment system. Awesome stuff Ray, thanks a bunch! The participation EA 'should' be Solanian's Belongings. The Top X EA (ie 64) should be an EA Shadowfiend. The playmat will most likely be an Onyxia playmat....the DMF ones don't seem to be in Europe. |

*sob* Hmmm. How many other weekends this year would be bad? I've got exams in the week of June 9th, so weekends before and after that are bad. Then I'm in Belgium bombarding cables with hard radiation for a week at some point and I don't know if they'd like me buggering off for the weekend. Then there are four more "going to/from uni" weekends, but if I know more than a month in advance, I just go to/from uni on a different day. Anyone want to place bets on a DMF on any of these dates? Come on... |

Unless it was Australia, I'd take the laptop anyway. I can sell the laptop for the cost of the flight to most EU/US locations and still have change. Not that I'd sell the laptop if I won. Nor do I particularly need a home entertainment system. Sad that if I take a night flight I probably wont have time to take part in any of the Friday side events, taking some easy Mag boosters sounds a laugh  Definately need to check the diary, but I think it's a go-er. |
