Yeah, you heard that right. Thanks to a nameless, faceless, grief-mongering capitalist sponsor (probably controlled by a boardroom of lawyers and/or a guy in a suit with a cigar) we are able to offer everyone the unique opportunity to win a gigantic Best Buy gift certificate to the tune of $5,000. Yeah,
three zeroes. You could get a plasma TV with that, and have enough left over to get another one for the bathroom.
Entering is simple - all you have to do is take a bit of time to fill out a quiz. If you're one of the most impressive Griefers, you'll
move to the second stage, which will be controlled via the official Pocket Kingdom rankings on the N-Gage Arena. To get started, check out all the rules and enter at the World's Greatest Griefer Contest home page.
Here's the official PR release:
WarCry Corp. Unveils World's Greatest Griefer Contest
Big
Prizes on the Line for the Best of the Worst
Stamford, CT (November 19, 2004) - Today WarCry Corp., in partnership with anonymous grief-mongering capitalist sponsors, has unleashed on the massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming community a challenge to crown and richly reward the World's Greatest Griefer.
From now until November 28th would-be participants can admit to their most foul forays into ruining other players' in-game experiences at WarCry's Pocket Kingdom web site (http://pk.warcry.com). All of those who feel accomplished and worthy are invited to apply. From this "Talk the Talk" stage of this two-part contest, 100 of the top contenders will be
chosen to advance to the next, more challenging stage.
These 100 top-ranked griefers will next go hand-to-hand with each other as they "Walk the Walk". To prove that they can and will be the Greatest, these contenders will use their N-Gages to vie for the top spot among contestants in Sega's new title Pocket Kingdom (PK). An online title for Nokia's N-Gage game platform, PK is the game griefers have been waiting for, and just the sort of game to host this final stage. Oft referred to as "digital crack" by media outlets across the internet, the title is rife with crass humor and pointed jibes to accompany its strategy-based player-versus-player gameplay. Even the lore of the title itself is based on one of the greatest griefers of all time.
Plainly stating that "Second Place is the first loser", the contest awards nearly all its purse to first place. A Best Buy gift card of $5000US
will go to the most horrible, the most egregious and the most wickedly talented and cutthroat PK player in the land. Second and Third place winners will get gift cards for a "measly" $500US for their "valiant but pathetic" efforts to unseat the World's Greatest Griefer!
