Being that this is the bragging rights forum, I thought I'd let you all know that I have just been informed by Electronic Arts and Maxis that I have won the "You Could Be our Next Sim" Contest! \/ \/ \/

Here is the link to the contest: http://www.zdmcirc.com/zdmcirc/sweep...ims/rules.html

And here is the email I received today:

Hello Jordan,

I'm pleased to tell you that you are our Grand Prize winner in the "You Could Be Our Next Sim" contest. Please contact me on my direct line at ***-***-**** so that we can discuss your prize. We will need to receive photos of your face from different angles so we can build you into our next GBA game! We will also need to send you some Legal paperwork for you and your parents to fill out.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Best regards,

**** ******
Product Manager
Electronic Arts / Maxis



And I just got off the phone with them! I really did win!

That's very awesome. Just think about how many bored people are going to have you making out with every guy in the neighborhood!

That's pretty cool! Congrats.

One (1) Grand Prize: Winner will receive one (1) character skin* created based on the Winner’s likeness for possible use in an upcoming Game Boy® Advance version of The Sims™ game...

Not to spoil your fun, but it sounds like they might end up leaving your face out of the game. If you do end up in the game, though, congrats!

Very cool!

Yeah, I saw that, but it's likely I will make it in. They probably just put that in case the game never gets made or something. I talked to the guy from EA and he said I would most likely get in the game.

I noticed that too, but I was going to let it slide so TJ could enjoy his moment in the sun. Seriously, though, unless TJ is hideously ugly, or there is a legal problem with using TJ's likeness (such as already being under exclusive contract for use in another game), I expect they will make good on it.

Congrats, TJ, you're famous.

That's awesome. :P

Holy crap thats awesome. I get excited when I win a free Coke, so I would have probably had a heart attack if I won anything that cool.

wow thats really beastly! You are the only person in the world who can say that! And I and the only person in the world who can say" That's my bro in the Sims!"

Great Job, J! You deserve it the most out of anyone I know.

kool congrats.....but why not in like the console versions....how much could it actually look like you on gba....

on the gba ones they have small avatars which are pretty detailed

congrats on winning, immortality is yours

Way to go TJ. Congrats. I am pretty confident that your image will find its way into the game.

congrats! u know whats even more exciting? the day before the game gets released.. but u'll probably recieve it first anyway, so..

Congrats, that's awesome

Well now I can officially say,

"Hey! I know that guy in the Sims game!"

Congrats!

Hrm, then if you made another person just like yourself, and started a relationship....

Congrats.

WOW. Congrats.

I'm jealous......good stuff, TJordan!

Thanks for the congratulations guys!
