Title: Shameless self promotion
Post by: OverFlow on August 19, 2008, 02:37:59 am
Hey all you internet peoples out there.  I'm OverFlow.  I made models and maps for Tremulous.  Despite that, however, I don't seem to be doing much in the way of working on 1.2.

"Why OverFlow, WHHHYYYY!?"

Cause I have job.  And other things I like doing instead now-a-days.

Like playing music!  I likes music, and play drums for a little known band here in Portland, Oregon called 'This Fair City (http://www.myspace.com/thisfaircity)'.

Why does this matter to you?  Well, if you happen to be in Portland, you could go to one of our shows at some point and show some support.  But thats fairly unlikely.

There is however, a small internet contest going on in which you, yes you!, can help us out in.

So, if you like the music you heard on that previous link, or you don't, click on this (http://theunionrecords.net/index.php/20080701100/Roster-Expansion-Challenge.html) link and click the vote for 'This Fair City' near the top of the page.



Thanks much for reading my shameless self promotion.  Maybe I'll make Trem 1.2 come out really fast if we win.

a word of warning: no one will believe you if you blame this on a greasemonkey script, it's been done already :laugh:

Oh yeah, also , it also lets you vote once per day.  Which is kinda lame.

If any of you go to the show (in real life, physically) you must threaten Overflow with physical violence until he works on 1.2. I demand it!

I wouldn't go so far as to suggest you follow him home and begin stalking him and sending him odd cut-up-magazine threatening letters suggesting the demise of his drum set or anything... but someone did put that idea out there.


(p.s. Good luck)

1) I, too, live in Rose River, Jeffersonia
2) I voted for your band, and will again tomorrow; after that, I'll forget
3) I'll probably never actually make it to a gig, cuz I'm lame like that
4) I really like the drum sound on the MySpace tracks
5) I make it a point not to get into physical confrontations with drummers (they hit things every day for several hours because they enjoy hitting things)
6) what kind of kit?

Ya, we're getting creamed t.t

But maybe they're all cheating with some type of cookie deleting scheme even though the rules say they'll be checking IPs, and they'll all be caught.  HA! BWAHAHAHA!  >_>

Yup, thanks for your help everyone... There was a lot of silly cheating and checking IPs isn't a terribly good way to prevent it either, but I guess we'll see what happens...
