Alright, so you missed out in round 1, and then you were out of the country through round 2, well this is your last chance to get into the Legions private beta.
Here's what you have to do. Invite as many new people to join InstantAction as you possibly can. Your previous invites count towards your total, so add to your list of invites by sending them to your friends and family members.
That's it. Invite, friends create accounts, get into the Legions private beta. As a bonus you'll have friends on InstantAction to play with or against.
Don't forget to read up on the difference between inviting and adding friends to InstantAction.

The Shack has it's grip on 5 "keys" to the Legions private beta and wants to pawn them off on you artistic folk (maybe those who aren't as well). All you need to do is use the provided images and paste them into real world events, preferably news. Make it funny, make it fun. Following are some of the submissions so far.
You've got until 11:59pm CST on April 1st (that's a Tuesday) to get your entries posted. Head to Shacknews for full contest details. Open that legal copy of Photoshop or equivalent photo editing software and get to the creating.

What happened? Were you one of the people that fell asleep during the last contest to get in on the Legions private beta? Well it's your lucky day. The first contest is over, but a second one has begun. 30 more InstantAction users will gain access to the Legions private beta.
How do you win this contest? Do what you were doing before, but do it harder! Just get the most friends to sign up between now and 4/9/2008 and you've got it. Access to the Legions beta.
No, this isn't some cruel April Fool's Day joke either. Log in, click that friends tab up on the top there, start adding email address and send them out!
I've created an image for those that prefer visuals. Below you'll find an aid on how to invite friends to InstantAction. My Photoshop skillz are lacking.
