    Hi guys and gals,

    We're rolling out our first big contest and allowing four members the chance to win a copy of the Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City game for the PC, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

    resident-evil-operation-raccoon-city.jpg

    In order to be entered into the contest, you need only complete ONE of the following tasks:
    • Submit your best drawing of Leon S. Kennedy and the Tyrant T-103 (pictured above in the box art) putting aside their differences with a friendly hug.
    • Share your wittiest, rhymiest Resident Evil-themed poem. Must contain at least one instance of the words "Operation Raccoon City".
    • Explain to us why you'd be the perfect candidate for mayor of Raccoon City.
    • Provide us with a giggle by captioning the image included below (click to enlarge):
    Resident-Evil-Operation-Raccoon-07.jpg

    You can only attempt one of the four challenges, I'm afraid, as we don't want the contest to end with one person scoring two or more of the four prizes. Please give it some thought before committing yourself to, say, drafting up something for a written task when, really, your skills are more suited to art-based stuff. Simply respond to this thread with your submission and you'll be entered into the contest. Feel free to revise your entry as many times as you like by editing your original post.

    When the competition has come to a close at 10:00am GMT on March 9th, staffers will vote for our top favourite entries amongst each category, and I'll get in touch with Capcom in order to organize the delivery of the copies to the three winners. At present, there are no restrictions on where we'll ship to, so feel free to join in even if you're living on the moon.*

    Here's a quick list of things that'll earn you a disqualification. Please read through them, understand them, memorize them and follow them:
    • If we find evidence of users creating and entering multiple accounts into the contest (we have the tools to do so).
    • If we suspect foul play in the slightest, we reserve the right to remove you from the competition.
    The awesome folks over at Capcom helped make this possible, ladies and gents. Major kudos to Capcom's UK PR Manager, Adam Merrett, for giving us the go-ahead, too.

    If you'd like to support us, please consider "liking" our Facebook page. Cheers!

    *You can't join in if you're living on the moon.

    I’d be the perfect mayor of Raccoon city because im a fair and honorable person, that doesn`t make things the wrong way, I would be an amazing mayor because I could actually get to work projects and improve the way of life in my beloved Raccoon City, now what I mean is that I have a brave spirit and I know to fight in my battles to get what I want, not only that I am a person that follow the rules I would not tolerate if people wants to act illegally and stand in their way to avoid any suspicious activities, I would provide security to my fellow citizens to assure their safety. My top priority would ever be the overcoming of the city, to always aim high when thinking in the wellness of the citizens. By far my top priority is to always assure the welfare and a good life.
    Go VeCtOr!

    so i was planning on writting something more larger, but i thought i was going to bore the heck out of ya all reading, so there it is something more simple! ^^

    "How many times!? DO NOT LEAVE THE TOIlET SEAT UP!"

    This is a great gesture by Capcom. If more people saw them doing things like this, it might hush up the haters. Also it's nice to see REN playing a part in so much lately, what with this and the D.C Douglas interview.

    I'm afraid I may not be able to retrieve this prize, but I'll give it a try.

    The zombies started shambling...
    But the crowd continued trampling,
    In the end, we'll all be dead.
    Often with a hole in our head.

    But don't be scared.
    Even after all you've beared.
    Sometimes when things seem s**tty,
    Just remember, they're planning Operation Raccoon City.


    I probably would have gone for the drawing, but I'm unartistic. The caption will be overdone, and the mayor thing just wouldn't be original. Poems ensure originality.

    Awesome! Nice one, guys! Let's really impress Capcom and show them that plenty of people want to get their hands on their games. If there's lots of interest show for this competition, I'm sure they'll consider sponsoring future contests, too.

    I finally got the courage to post my submission. As I'm not very good at any of the tasks, I decided to try the drawing for fun. It didn't come out very well, but I'll post it anyway.

    PS: I would like to know if this sumbission is valid, since I added the text and Ada.

    What is it we are seeing here? Is it something from RE5 or something random?

    It certainly is! Well done on being the first to attempt the 'drawing' challenge!

    Thanks for entering the contest, mate! Any chance you could upload a larger version of the picture? I'm afraid that I can't make out what either chap is saying.

    I don't have a precise closing date just yet, but I'll update the first post when I've managed to nail one down. At present, we're just shooting for a mid-March cutoff.

    I will get a drawing done on a digital software. It will take time and I probably won't win, but heck; it's worth a shot. Tell me any time if you have a confirmed due date.

    Before the outbreak....

    Hello citizens of Raccoon City! I, Glamour Valentino Versace, am running for mayor of our beautiful city and would very much appreciate your support and vote. As mayor, I will enhance our already strong ties with the friendly pharmaceutical giant, the Umbrella Corporation, by offering new locations for the company to expand its research and development within Raccoon City, creating jobs and boosting the economy for our citizens. In exchange, Umbrella will build more hospitals, schools, and even playgrounds for our city; so it's a win-win! I will also work with Police Chief Brian Irons to lower crime rates and keep our streets safe (Irons is a nice guy--he even looks after my daughter when I am away on business!), and at all costs, I will maintain the clean and healthy environment we've all come to love. So on election day, vote for a man you can trust and not that incumbent, Michael Warren. Do we really need more of the same after eleven years?

    Yours Truly,

    Galmour Valentino Versace
