BFC, is it possible to start a seperate strategy and tactics forum, like for CMSF, upon release of the game? It would be of great help, especially for us poor sods who has to make the transition to the modern era from WWII.

Wait, did I hear that right? We are on the edge of our seats and you are going to a Christmas party. Where are your priorities man!

The WINDOW has Closed.

The horse has fled the barn.

Elvis has left the building.

Many warnings had been posted...now there are some here.

The early bird has been wormed.

Many try, one will succeed.

NOW WE WAIT. NO MORE ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED. The deadline has passed.

(Mod: pin this…thanks.)

Would you like a free copy of CMBS? If not, then leave. Otherwise, read on…

I’m doing this on my own, so it’s my rules. If you don’t like it, don’t gripe at BFC. They have nothing to do with this.

If your guess for the release date is the closest to the actual date, I’ll send you a freshly purchased activation code. It’ll be up to you to download the game.

Here’s how it will work:
1. Enter your guess in the format DDMMYYYY. In BOLD. Like thus, for July 4th, 1776: 04071776. Make it stick out on its own. If I can’t find it, you lose. Yeah, my rules.

Remember, day, month, year: DDMMYYYY. Don’t screw it up. No second entries, no edits. See below.

2. You can only make ONE entry in this thread. A second entry eliminates you from consideration.
EDITED: Rule 2 is hereby amended. Since ChrisND has officially announced a change to the expected release date, all initial entries made PRIOR to 0800 on 19122014 can be changed by making ANOTHER entry. See http://community.battlefront.com/topic/117124-win-a-free-copy-of-cmbs/?p=1563829

(Nothing in rule two prevents additional POSTINGS. Only additional entries are prohibited...as amended above.)

3. Any EDITS to your post eliminates you. Because.

4. In case of a tie on the date, I’ll pick the winner. If you put the time, in 24 hour format, I’ll use that as a tie breaker. Closest wins. (6:17 p.m. would be 1817.) If you’re closest, but not in 24 hour military format, you lose! I’ll go to the next guy. Attention to detail matters. If you don’t put in any time, but someone else puts it in, he’ll win, no matter how far from the actual time his guess was.

5. What will I use for the release date and time? Whatever I want. But, I’ll probably use the date and time of the OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT on the forum. It’ll be in my time zone, US Eastern. Use New York, NY, if you need to look it up.

If I see 6:17 p.m., July 4th, 1776, then I don’t care what time it was in YOUR country. It will be 6:17 p.m. USA baby, USA.

Don’t go claiming your 2117 time was in Lisbon, so you really meant 1617 my time.

Remember, the official date and time will be whatever I say it is.

6. You must include a bit more than just a date and a time. You must tell me why YOU deserve it MORE than the bloke who posted just ahead of you. The only exception is the first poster: he must merely extol his own virtues. If you ignore this requirement, I will laugh as I eliminate you.

7. If you include a long, sad story of why you deserve a free game, no matter how inaccurate your guess, the corner of my mouth will twitch upwards, and I’ll eliminate you. Whiners can’t be winners. Learn it, live it.

8. Finally, the twist: having been given the activation code, you will be ON THE HOOK. I will contact you and you will HAVE TO engage in a public battle with me. It will be a public AAR. It will be a fast, bloody, GLORIOUS battle. I will pick all the parameters. If the thought of a public AAR frightens you, don’t enter. We’ll do it a couple of weeks later. So you can practice. Practice…losing!

9. I can change any of the rules at any time. It’s my money.

10. If you get the closest date and time and I don’t give it to you, it’s because sometimes life isn’t fair. Embrace the suck.

11. I’ll use the PM function on this forum to communicate with the winner. If I don’t get a reply in whatever time span I determine is sufficient, the winner will become a loser, and the top loser will become a winner. And so it will go, down the line.

As in all things, there is fine print. See point 9.

Ken out.

agusto got a reaction from Wicky in Very shiny! December 16, 2014

I just noted a something that could be unintended and/or maybe a future problem: Wehn you go to User CP->profile customization->background it allows you to upload images of unlimited size. I just uploaded a 1,6 MB image. I am not sure but couldnt this be used by an attacker in a DoS attack? Choose a 500GB file, click 'upload' and block all traffic.The lack of a limited for the size of an expendable background image also strikes me as odd given that the maximum attachment size is 500kb. I 'd rather have unlimted attachment size but a 500kb limited for my profile background.
