Issue: 43   Editor: HowlingMadMika


Buzz Contest: Issue Searchthrough HowlingMadMika
In order to brighten this somewhat small issue the Buzz has decided to host a small contest. Those who like reading the Buzz will also like this contest, for it will make you search past issues of Bootleggers' very own newspaper. At the bottom of the article are ten questions, to which the answers can be found the issues 30 till 43.

Those who wish to participate are asked to find the answer to every question and to submit the correct answers as a 'Contest Entry'. Contest entries can be submitted on the Buzz page, the option is located in the drop menu at the bottom of every Buzz. Make sure to carefully read every question so that you can provide the correct answer. Due to the fact that past Buzz issues require looking through, Buzz writers are excluded from this contest, due to their over average knowledge of Buzz content and the fact that contest entries are displayed on the Buzz Forum.

The first player to submit all the correct answers to the Buzz will receive $2,000,000. The second prize will be a whooping $1,000,000 and $750,000 will be awarded to the third player to submit the correct answers. In addition, five random contestants who have submitted the correct answers will receive a consolidation prize of $250,000.

There is a total of ten questions that are to be answered correctly. Again, make sure to read every question carefully, some may be phrased as a riddle or may require close reading to ensure that the correct answer is given. Again, the answers to the questions can be found in issues 30 till 43.

The deadline for submitting entries is Sunday, September 5 (Bootleggers time). Any entries submitted on Sunday will not be taken into account. If a player is to submit more than one entry then the entry that was submitted last will be eligible to win a prize. Any participant may be checked for illegal activity prior to being declared the (or a) winner.

The winners as well as the answers to the questions will be included in the next issue of the Buzz, issue 44. Said issue will also include information on how the winners can claim their prize. No information on either winners or answers will be disclosed until the release.

Please contact Mika if you have questions or concerns regarding the contest.
