Gamescom: Fan Event Competition

[Zac Antonaci]

Hi all,

As you may have seen in our news article, Elite: Dangerous will be hosting a fan event to kick off Gamescom. There are two ways to get tickets detailed below...


The competition

For a bit of fun, we have six pairs of tickets to give away to guarantee you entry into the fan event. All you have to do is post below telling us why you would like to go or what you’d bring to the event. We will pick our favourites based on how creative, clever and funny they are.

You can check out the full details of the event here which also includes the terms and conditions.


The ticket list

In addition, you can and should also register for up to two tickets by emailing community@frontier.co.uk with your name and address. We will pick up to 100 people at random to receive tickets too.

Good luck!

Zac

 

[Zac Antonaci]

Oh and make sure to keep your PMs open to see if you win a pair of tickets.

 

[rootsrat]

I'd love to go, because I really enjoyed and appreciated Frontier conference and Q&A session at Lavecon.

I can bring my banhammer!

:EDIT:

That's only a joke - I won't be able to get holidays signed off for the event sadly...

 

[SpyTec]

As much as I'd want to go and hang out with Frontier and the community, I can't afford the travel expenses. But good luck to those who can!

Edit: I might be able to help out some folks in here who want to create some creative art! EDAssets has tons of Elite: Dangerous assets you can use for your project, link here: http://www.edassets.org/

I think it's safe to say if you can't go to the event anyway, then there's no point entering this.
I'm not being critical of Frontier, I think it's great they're doing this, but anyone not able to go anyway, may as well not read this thread.

 

[Wolf]

That is really a nice touch! Having a Fan Party hosted by the Developer sounds great!
Good thinking there, Frontier!

And to anyone who isn't sure about it yet and didn't make it to the Premier Event last year: Go for it! They are good at it!

Finally got around to registering thanks to this competition as I'd love to go to the event!

Deep down in space
there is an epos waiting for me.
You know what's the case -
The Elite Dangeroes GC event is the place to be!
No matter which fraction
everybody will have a good time.
I want to participate in the action
that's why I do this rhyme.
No matter the rank, I'll be frank,
who wouldn't want to hang out with the devs
especially when you're not part of the press.
You don't get this chance everyday,
so please Frontier, listen to what I say.
Along with my rhyming skills,
I'd bring my best friend to join in on the thrills.
We would have an absolutey amazing night,
together with the other fans, shaking hands,
talking bans, maybe dance, that's goddamn right.

Thank you for the fantastic game,
and for the chance to attend, always stay the same!

Elite Meet... Hmmmm that name sounds familiar! <3 it guys makes us sound all official now

 

[CMDRBaked..]

Dear Frontier,

I CMDR Baked.. believe that i will be a great candidate for stowing away on your craft, Cologne is only a short jump away as it is!

I will fit in any size Cargo bay. 2 Slots? No worries, ill contort my way into any crevice just for the honour of standing 10m away chortling to myself in your presence. What can i say, it's like meeting the Thargoids, just not as terrifying and a hell of a lot more awesome. Being a hunter of the UA's too, don't take that statement lightly!

Along side fitting into any size cargo rack, i have also been told i was born with a high charisma. This is good for those long haul exploration ventures as i can keep myself company, keep myself laughing and eventually wake up in the psych ward due to long-term isolation and hallucinations. I swear stars follow me...the celestial kind of course.

As i don't want to write an epic wall of text and deter you guys from choosing a great space faring, bendy, slightly mad (thanks to you guys) candidate i will finish up by saying that i know when to activate Silent Running. I love to listen, love to learn and due to the Unknown Artifacts i love speculating too.

It would truely be an honour to stand amongst the rl Elite.

Fly Safe FD o7

P.s: Will bring Onionhead!

Or maybe reading this might be the reason someone decides to go?

Hi FD team !!

Thx for sharing this event with us.

Why would a player wanna come ? To discuss with other people how immersive is the game. To make them feel how huge is our galaxy. I travelled a lot but there a are some things to do and more will arrive Soon™

Last 2 weeks i challenged new Sarah IA and it was a real pleasure to face her minions.

What more can i say ? Surprise us next 5-6 of August. Many are waiting, hoping for something big !

CMDR Exar SPIRE.

 

[PsychoFish]

Why I should go?

Because: Thargoids!!

Spoiler

No seriously. They told be to come and give a secret message to the exclusively picked commanders at the event.

 

[Wilkin]

Hm, why me.

Ok, "old geezer" here, that mostly takes care of the kids in his free time and does not like crowds.
Got free tickets to a whisky convention in a few years in a row, never went (even though i love single malts) and gave the tickets away every time - nah, the travel, the crowd, too much hassle. Concerts? You nuts, the hassle, the crowd. Company party? Ah, better find an excuse, too many people.
Elite dangerous in germany? Hell, yeah!
Just taking care of the small kids while wife is rocking out at an AC/DC concert, i think i deserve a goodie as well in return.

(Dismiss this entry if Braben will not be there, i want to meet the man that all of this made possible).

 

[Zac Antonaci]

Thanks guys.

ALSO

Don't forget to apply for tickets through our ticket list too by emailing your name and address and how many tickets you want (1 or 2) to community@frontier.co.uk

Ill be dragging my non gaming wife over to Cologne this year as part of our summer holiday. She is really looking forward to visiting a "Geek" convention! I promised her a trip to switzerland afterwards which put a smile on her her face, so now i am free to attend all the "geeky" events i can!

Cant wait!

[Black Jay]

I, Cmdr Black Jay, faithfully promise to attend the fan event dressed as a full sized Coriolis Space Station, if given the opportunity.

I also promise not to embarass anyone by granting anyone docking clearance during the actual presentation.

Can't say fairer than that

 

[Ben Ryder]

Id bring a beautiful woman dressed in silver and a thermos of tea.

 

[Wonga]

My old pc basically went into meltdown while playing Elite Dangerous.

I have been saving up for 3 months to play ED again.
I have been eating the cheapest to build this PC.
I drank less than 2 beers a week.
My girlfriend is mad at me.

But soon i will crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Invite my rear to the party!

 

[Parmo]

Id bring a beautiful woman dressed in silver and a thermos of tea.

She's wearing a thermos flask?!
Beauty indeed!

 

[Parmo]

I'd bring a Wing of NPCs, but only after they've proven that they are dedicated fans.
