    Canadian residents will be required to answer an additional mathematical question in order to claim their prizes.

    It's not specific to Trion. Canada has a rule about competitions that requires that the competition not be a game of chance, but a game of skill. Courts and marketers have tangled with this, and the net result is, if you're not sure, require Canadian residents to answer a question like "4 + 8 = ___" so you can claim that the other mechanism was merely a tiebreaker among people who had demonstrated themselves to be among the most skilled.
    You can play WoW in any MMO. You don't have to play WoW in RIFT. Oh, and no, RIFT is not a WoW clone. Not having fun any more? Learn to play, noob! I don't speak for Riftui, but I moderate stuff there. Got ideas for improving the RIFT community? Feel free to PM me. Just came back? Welcome back! Here's what's changed. (NOTE NEW URL)

    We need to dress up in a costume in Rift?

    This is like being sent into an empty room, given a spoon and asked to make a spaceship.

    How will you choose between the 300 identical 1st place candidates?

    Default What did the Dutch do?

    I was reading the conditions. Why (stated in 3.4) is the Netherlands excluded from the rest of the European Union?

    Games of chance on the internets are prohibited by Dutch law. They simply aren't allowed at all.
    I'm so BORED

    Default Not entirely true.

    That is not entirely true. While online gambling is prohibited, promotional games of chance are allowed (such as this event).

    I have a copy (in Dutch) that defines it:

    "
    De definitie van een promotioneel kansspel is:

    het, bij wijze van promotie, geven van gelegenheid om mee te dingen naar prijzen of premies, waarbij de aanwijzing van de winnaars geschiedt door enige kansbepaling waarop de deelnemers in het algemeen geen overwegende invloed kunnen uitoefenen.

    U moet daarbij denken aan prijsvragen of acties via sms of telefoon.

    Het uitgangspunt is dat promotionele kansspelen verboden zijn tenzij zij voldoen aan de voorwaarden die in de gedragscode zijn uitgewerkt.

    Samenvattend bevat de gedragscode de volgende regels:
    -een spel mag uitsluitend ter promotie van een product, dienst of organisatie dienen;
    -A game may only be used for the promotion of a product, service or company.
    -een spel mag per product, dienst of onderneming maximaal één keer per jaar worden aangeboden, dient tijdelijk van aard te zijn en mag maximaal dertien trekkingen bevatten;
    -A game may, per product, service or company only be held once a year, has to be temporary and may have a maximum of 13 (thirteen) draws.
    -van iedere deelnemer mag niet meer dan € 0,60 aan communicatiekosten worden gevraagd;
    -Per contestant there may not be charged more then €0,60 for communication costs.
    -het totale prijzenpakket mag per promotioneel kansspel niet meer dan € 100.000 per jaar bedragen;
    -The total worth of the promotional prizes may not exceed €100.000 per year.
    -de organisator moet als voorwaarde stellen dat minderjarigen onder de 16 jaar alleen met toestemming van hun ouder/verzorger aan het kansspel mogen deelnemen;
    -The organizor of the game of chance must state that the contestants may not be younger then 16 years old, without permission from parents or guardians.
    -de aanbieder van een promotioneel kansspel moet algemene voorwaarden opstellen en deze kenbaar maken aan de deelnemer.
    -The organisation of the game of chance must make the terms and services open for the contestants.
    "

    Sorry for my terrible English, i tried to translate it as well as i could.

    Anyways, i dont expect Trion to change the terms of the contest. Its just so you know :P


    ---------------------edit--------------------

    There is also a rule for small promotional games of chance:

    "
    Kleine promotionele kansspelen

    Het is ook mogelijk zogenaamde "kleine"" kansspelen te organiseren. De regels voor kleine promotionele kansspelen zijn aanzienlijk soepeler dan die voor gewone promotionele kansspelen.

    Kleine promotionele kansspelen mogen onbeperkt worden aangeboden, mits het prijzen betreft van maximaal 4500 euro en de communicatiekosten maximaal de prijs van één postzegel van 39 cent of lokaal telefoontarief bedragen. Bovendien geldt bij kleine promotionele kansspelen niet de beperking dat maximaal éénmaal per jaar per product, dienst of organisatie een promotioneel kansspel mag worden aanbieden. Ook geldt niet de beperking dat het promotionele kansspel tijdelijk van aard moet zijn en maximaal dertien trekkingen mag hebben.
    "

    Basicly it says you may hold unlimitid promotional games of chance over the year, the only thing is, they must be temporarilly, and may not have more then 13 prices per time. The total price money per event may not be higher then €4500 and the contestants may not pay anymore then €0,39 (the price of a postal stamp) for communication.

    Be a legal resident of: (i) one of the fifty United States (or the District of Columbia); or (ii) Canada (excluding Quebec); or (iii) the member countries of the European Union (excluding the Netherlands).

    So when are the comps for all the loyal Kiwi and Aussie rift fans?

    Is that why residents from Quebec cant enter?

    Default Question...

    Is cropping the picture considered editing? I don't want to change the image, just focus on the details of the costume by cropping out extraneous background...
