New Contest Idea

How about a contest where poeple enter in emails to Strong Bad, five of which are randomly selected and put into the game?

    Umm, didn't the Telltales say they wouldn't do this already?

    Yes they have.

    I think that was because of copyright issues or something. If they did a contest, then before you submit you would have to sign a license agreement or something which would give the rights to Telltale.

    If they do that, I would make another "Bobee" email.
    I doubt anyone remembers/knows about them. It was a really old post.

    I can't even find the first (In my opinion, the best) one.
    I did one on some discussion of Max answering e-mails.

    It's true that the emails in the games are made up and not sent in by fans, for legal reasons.

    If we did a contest like this, we'd probably just have to get the winners to sign a release granting permission to put their email in the game. (And we have considered a contest like this, but we have a few others coming up so I'm not sure if it would work out, timing wise...)

    You might have a better chance if you made just one that was three times as good!

    I probably won't win, because I have a crappy web camera, but I'm planning on making a Max pumpkin (that actually IS white, maybe) with his eyes and mouth. MAYBE. If not, maybe I'll just send in the two (both of witch are on YouTube). I have a movie that involves this robot Strong Bad finds, and then one involves Marzipan's guitar gussied down.

    Actaully, I did have the time and creativity to do it, I just didn't know at the time. I sent in 3 entries, but they're all pretty closely related (Although they are, at the same time, completely different; HA! Try figuring that one out.).

    !omehow my thread turned from discussing my new contest idea to discussing the halloween contest.:confused:

    Okay, the final episode will be out soon, so here is my final plea to do this contest. Unless if it is already too late.

    I for one wouldn't care if you had an email submission contest for Season 2 running at the same time as any number of other contests. Seeing as there's a precedent for having user-sent emails read by Strong Bad, I'd say that such a contest would be seen as being a special case by the fans, and that 'we have too many contests planned, maybe there'll be one for Season 3 if we make one' would be a pretty crappy excuse in their eyes.
