Reading the contest entries for the beta ended up being more entertaining than I thought. Some of you were creative and funny. Even though they didn't make any difference in the random drawing, I will still list the ten best quotes. My own comments are in italic.

• "I even like Heroes 4." (why do people feel bad about it?)
  
• "Denmark, a small Country located just north of Germany..." (and I live in a very small country just North the U.S.)
  
• "... willing to be a Guinea Pig for the betterment of Science." (now that's the spirit!)
  
• "I have a state-of-the-art laptop with 2.13 Mhz Pentium M processor." (even my old 286 was faster than that!)
  
• "have a lot of free time on my hands." (don't we all? *sigh*)
  
• "I'm a developer at a very respectable software company..." (nice try, evil Electronic Arts spy!)
  
• "Supported the Forge Idea in the early H3:AB." (an activist!)
  
• "... top of the line system at the Future Shop." (the crooks probably offered you an extended warranty)
  
• "I really enjoyed playing hot seat games when I could find someone ready for a long intense night."(now that sounds dirty!)
  
• "I don't know if you take bribes, but if so, i'm a gorgeous female, aged 19, big .... your not buying it right?" (actually, I was...)

My stalker turned out to be a friendly fellow from Spain who, like most uf us, was very excited about the beta test. I hope you all understood that I was just having a little fun at his own expense in yesterday's news.
