EuroTek Studios is proud to announce the first Propaganda Contest, to kickoff the beginning of the development of Orwells Hell: 1984. The rules are as follows:
>It may be a video (with TV static, preferrably), billboard (high resolution in this case), or anything else fitting to the theme of 1984.
>It must be pro-Big Brother
>It can contain humor that is appropriate, considering the theme of 1984
>It may not contain political satire or humor directly related to the current government in any country. It may have subliminal messages, though :)
>You may use existing photos, and add text. Be somewhat original, however. The more original, the more likely to win!
>The deadline is June 1st.
The rewards are as follows:
>Winning propaganda submission will be featured extensively throughout the games map.
>Winner will have the option to join the team
>Winner will automatically be placed on the first alpha team

Again, remember to submit your propaganda by June 1st to san-j@rock.com!

Er-erm, although the opinion you are voicing is the central theme of all Orwellian Literature (in slightly different language however), you are too stupid to realize it. You probably think that the fact that I have arranged a Propaganda Contest implies that I am pro-government, but you failed to take this "*** grano salis". Don't take things at face value. 1984 is widely accepted as the best political book of the 20th century. If you don't know about it, perhaps you should read it before assuming its pro-elitist. It is actually exactly the opposite.
It was written by George Orwell in the early 20th century, about what he feared the future of this world would be, in the year 1984. He forsaw a tyrannical government, lead by the infamous "Big Brother". If you actually bother to read it, you'll understand that what you thought this book (and in particular my rendition of it through the Source engine) is actually the opposite of what you assumed. It is a warning to the next generations to be weary of future governments.
Please, before you assume and insult, research. It is an easy acronym: BAIR (kinda like how a dislexic person might spell bear ;) )

I think that guest has something going there. We don't know if your mod is going to turn out to be total **** or not. You can't just make a contest and expect people to enter, when you have no work done, or anything, they could make a mod themselves if it were that reason. You need to offer something if you have nothing done, like a free t-shirt or cd.
Listen, EuroTek Studios is currently a non-profit group that just enjoys modding. If you want to join our contest or not is your choice. We are offering some rewards, but the whole point of this is to have fun, and show off your creativity. I don't know how you could possibly think that the guest had something going. He gave non constructive criticism. You, on the other hand, did give some suggestions, which I would love to be able to use in practice, but cannot at this moment.
I suggest that if you don't think that this contest is worthy of your time, you do not enter it, and leave it at that.
And you cannot make a mod with just a couple of billboards ;)

sounds like an interesting book, i think I'll enter if I can think of something Witty enough.
hehe, awesome... Just remember to email it to san-j@rock.com when you are done ;)

There is nothing wrong with basing a game or mod off of a book. Take the recent Lord Of The Rings movies, for example. They are worlds better than any movie someone could have come up with on their own. I am bringin lots of new stuff to this mod, that wasn't in the book. I am merely placing it in the same environment as the book.
You said that the government and my mod can burn in hell. That implies that the government is evil, so my mod is... My mod actually expresses the negative points of an overly powerful government.
Also, simply saying that my mod can burn in hell really isn't too helpful. I really don't believe that you are the leader, or on any mod team, so lets see some links already (duh)

Wow, great idea for promoting your mod. Create a contest for a mod with no content, ask the people who enter the contest to create mod content and if they win then they have the option to join the team.
lol, sounds a bit help-wantedish.
Well, it is admittedly a little help-wantedish, but I also think its a great opportunity for people to make humerous billboards, etc... Don't worry though, there are already model renders, and we just got a 1337 concept artist...
If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. Some of you kids need to go back to the basics with that one. ;)

Damn guests. ;( Why are they even allowed to post anywhere on modDB?

And here's my contest:
I need a n00b guest to spam a news comments section of... oh say... modDB, with pointless insults and **** everyone off. The winner will get IP banned and and all of the members' ill-will.
whaoh, i love that last contest :-)
who the hell needs content for a mod based off a popular book?
you know what the stuff is about, so why the hell not try it?
im waiting for this mod, though it looks like it may be a while - half life 2 and all

woops, wow that was ironic... I forgot to login to say that you shouldn't be able to post without logging in... hehe the irony...
Thats a good contest san-j as for you Robo, your ******* me off more than the quests, cause your just flaming the place with pointless lines....
I will try this contest thingy... O_o
thx for the support, and I'm looking forward to seeing your submission, but was Robo flaming? seems to me he was just defending us from the evil guest-newbs ;)
only reason I say that, is cause everytime someone posts on here, there has to be someone that hates there guts, and when i go to read the original post, i end up reading the "flamed" part too...
