You might remember the first 4 installments of my X3 giveaway franchise. If you don't, it's not a big problem because I'll flag all the threads for you now:

Mark I: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/x3_bonanza_giveaway
Mark II: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/x3_bonanza_giveaway_mark_ii
Mark III: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/x3_bonanza_giveaway_mark_iii
Mark IV: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/x3_bonanza_giveaway_mark_iv

All the winners of these giveaways agreed to post a diary of their in-game exploits whenever they get to play one of the games they won (part of the X3 series). Of course, some of them did, and we had some very interesting diaries to read for a while... but some of them didn't.

Here are both the hall of fame and wall of shame in that regard:

*** Hall of fame *** (aka the True Survivors)
1. Themken
2. Hardrada
3. gogtrial34987
4. ashwald
5. ofthenexus -> though he might need some extra convincing to finish his diary :)

Wall of shame
1. Dzsono
2. Bodgeit

Based on Goodaltgamer's suggestion, I decided that the rules for this very ultra (really, I kid you not) final giveaway are going to be a bit different but simple... if you convince one of the people listed on the "wall of shame" to start their diaries, or ofthenexus to continue his, as soon as their diaries show up and they mention you as the reason for starting/resuming their diary, you'll win one of the two X3:Terran War Pack copies up for grabs.

How do you convince them? Well, it's up to you really. Sometimes a kind word will be enough. Or perhaps sometimes you'll need to listen to Punie-chan's advice. Be nice though. Always smile (that will creep them out even more)!

Just watch this video and read below summary for a quick guide on "submission" techniques:
- You'll have to convince them using body language
- Remember though that fighting is always disgraceful
- For any of you that are or would like to be princesses, you'll be glad to know that, in fact, "submission" is a princess' way

Good luck! ... and remember, this is a "first to convince, first to win" kind of giveaway, so don't dawdle.

Edit: Geralt_of_Rivia is exempted from the headhunt since he has a pretty good (in a bad way) reason for not being able to start his diary. We'll get to read his diary one day though, I'm sure of it, so hands off his head for now, hunters!

Edit 2: The wall of shame is getting smaller and smaller... now that a4plz told us he's been having technical issues with the game, only two potential bounties are left.

Note: X3:Terran Conflict only sold bundled together with its add-on X3:Albion Prelude on GOG.com under the name X3:Terran War Pack.

You do not give up, do you WinterSnowfall? :-)

My bad, that's what I meant to write in the first place. Corrected now, thanks for spotting it ;). Not easily :P. Otherwise I would not board Xenon ships for fun.

Now with extra added links to the diaries in question. :)

With so many X3 veterans here already, the Xenons must be about to mount a sector invasion of this thread!

If Egosoft ever ends up making a decent X game (continuing the X3 tradition) with online multiplayer support, we really need to form up on an all star team in some remote outpost and go on a coordinated Xenon assault. I know I'd be honored.

That may sound way too good to ever come true, but we may live to see it, who knows :P.

I'm totally in. Just don't put me in charge of any boarding operations!

Headhunters assemble! And don't forget to post in this thread please whenever you start a hunt.

I'm not in, but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3LE15AyT5g
Is...is he still alive? Is it true?

See for yourself :).

A good bounty hunter's never around when you need him...

Well, that being said, I'd like to open up the door for anyone willing to stick to the rules of the previous giveaways. If you're willing to write a diary about your time spent in the game and all that, just let me know and you'll automatically get one of the copies (a time-limited offer, based on current stock etc etc).

Bounty hunter or space pilot, your path to the X3:Terran War Pack is entirely up to you!

Y'know what? Heck with it. I'll do it. This game is pretty dang far outside my genre, but nobody else seems interested, and the whole journaling thing intrigues me. Sounds like a blast and a nice opportunity for me to get the creative writing juices. Meanwhile, I'll load up the ol' puzzle gun and see if I can haul in one of those with a bounty on their heads.

Wow, just when I thought we'd never get another space pilot to show up :D.

Well then, a copy of the War Pack is yours - I'll PM you the redeem code shortly. Enjoy your time in the X universe, pilot!

Now there's just one copy left, and I'm hoping a real bounty hunter shows up here... remember, no disintegration, I want them alive!

Woo! Looking forward to reading this, and I hope you'll unexpectedly discover that you'll like the game just as much as I did.

Seems like I have to bump this... come on, are you telling me there's nobody who wants to go on a good ol' classic "submission" hunt?

Kudos for the great giveaway. X3 is one of my all time favorite games that I return to often. Not in of course since I have at least two copies myself :).
