Hear ye! hear ye!

By King's decree the mighty kingdom of GOG is seeking for brave and valiant adventurers who will help to retrieve the great lost treasures from Ubisoft. The path ahead of those who will undertake this task is strewn with dangerous enemies and dreadful places. Many heroes won't come back in one piece, but for those who will succeed a great prize awaits at the end.

The first quest to become a GOG Hero starts today! We need you to help us spread the word about our new, upcoming Ubisoft releases. To do that all you need is just retweet this message "Become a GOG Hero, help spread the word about our new Ubisoft releases, and win a free GOG game #gogcom http://t.co/MJWo2JG" before Sunday, March 13 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. By completing this quest you'll automatically enter for a drawing of 1 of 100 free game codes from GOG.

That's only the first quest in the upcoming weeks. If you don't want to participate this time, don't worry. Everyone who participates in at least one quest will become a GOG Hero and will be eligible to win great loot with the big, special prize at the very end.

You're asking what's the grand prize? What is the main thing that every hero needs? (No, unfortunately we won't be giving away a princesses’ hand in marriage, sorry.) We'll reward the greatest GOG hero with a real sword, a GOG branded shield, and $150 USD worth of GOG games!

At first I was like, "I'll pass," but then I saw the sword!

I want that sword!!! I'm too poor to start a sword collection and this would be a helluva start. :)

So our "intent" can only be "declared" by having a Twitter account?

I have questions:

GOG.com: We'll reward the greatest GOG hero with a real sword, a GOG branded shield, and $150 USD worth of GOG games!
1. I'm only here for the weaponry. Is it a real edged sword which I could use to slay real-life enemies? What is the shield made of?

2. God, I hate retweeting-based draws for so many reasons... anyway, someone asked the right question and I don't feel it has been answered adequately. Even if you can see my tweet by searching for #gogcom (which is subject to likely human failure because you will have to manually check hundreds of #gogcom posts, or even thousands of posts given the downright poor performance of the Twitter search engine, which won't let you put results in any order at all), how would you associate my Twitter user with my GOG user?

RafaelLopez: ...
You do understand it's a random draw. All they have to do is to randomly click on some page of all search results and then close eyes and pick whatever user they place their mouse over.

They DM you (or reply to you) and ask you to DM them your email address associated with your GOG account.

acemarch: *cough* New World Computing sword and shield *cough cough*
Don't be so cruel, dude.

I don't have a Twitter account for this 1st quest, but I'm curious: how much is the sword worth?

Ubisoft can die in a fire for all I care. With the exception of Beyond Good & Evil & the Might & Magic franchise they bought from 3DO & then ruined, their games are mostly crap.

Disclaimer: I absolutely love gog, my thinning wallet and account page will tell that in a second.

BUT!
I personaly do not like this chain message idea.
I would like nothing more (or less) than to spread the word of gog.com, but why the heck should I waste everybody and their dog's time telling them about something that they might not be interrested in?

I would just end up feeling like the crazy guy you meet on the street, that goes up and says something like "Have you heard about the wonderous ass boil cream? Let me tell me about ass boils".

I've tell all my friends about gog, I'll tell all my youtube subscribers about gog because there's a high chance that they'll be gamers them selves. But I don't like the idea of just blabbering on about gog to everybody I meet.

RafaelLopez: <questions>
1. We're ordering an actual cuttin' sword. That said, depending on where the winner lives we may not be allowed to ship you an actual sharp implement via post, in which case you'll get one with a dull edge. The shield is a re-enactor's shield that we're paying an artist to paint with the GOG logo.

2. There are a couple of tools that automate prize draws. And we don't need to know whose GOG account is tied to the winning tweets. As long as you're following @gogcom, we'll DM you with the code to your account and you can claim it as you will.
