PAX Ticket Giveaway

Click for full size!

Starting today we will be giving away several tickets for the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo being held in Seattle, Washington.  It's simple to be a part of this as all you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post with your InstantAction username.  That's it.

We do however, want to be fair, so only those that can actually make it to PAX this year should leave a comment.  PAX is taking place between September 4th through the 6th, so if you aren't able to be in the Seattle area around this time, please do not comment.

In addition to the 3 randomly drawn names from the blog we'll also be giving away some passes via our Facebook and Twitter pages.  Keep an eye on them for the details on how to potentially win your pass from either of those outlets.

The fine print: These tickets are non-transferable, non-sellable, and will be distributed via will call.  Winners will pick up their passes from the will call desk upon arrival.

Good luck and we'll see the winners at PAX '09!

[Contest] The Newblood Initiative

There are a whole lot of people on IA that are not aware of the InstantAction Forums and many more that may not harness all the skills to truly dominate on some of the games.  This is your chance to help them out and earn something in return.

Gamethief has started up the Newblood Initiative to help out noobs and reward the helpers.  The rules are simple:

1. Find a newblood
2. Offer the newblood some help (tips, how to play the games, etc.)
3. Introduce the newblood to the forums.  

What you get:

The top 3 "newblood wranglers" will be awarded tokens on the following token amounts:

1st place: 1200 ActionTokens
2nd place: 600 ActionTokens
3rd place: 300 ActionTokens

In addition all newbloods of the first place winner will receive the "DarkOnes" avatar pack.

That's the lowdown of it.  For more information and details of what the rules mean please head to the forum topic: The Newblood Initiative
