from the sword game text (underlined by me):

" Among all people who pre-order CK from Paradox Entertainment, we will draw three lucky winners that will receive a Crusader Sword from Marto, the renowned Spanish swordmaker. You will find pictures of the swords below. All people who place their order before the game is shipped will have the chance to win! One Gold, one Silver and one Bronze sword will be distributed among the people who pre-order."

if I read it correctly, it would mean that the game should start shipping on Monday or Tuesday :)

I read it the same way, sounds great. I just hope the USPS is faster with this than the two seasons of ST: Deep Space 9 I ordered on April 20th and which shipped not long afterward :(

Isn't a sword the wrong weapon for vampire fighting? Wouldn't something with more wood in it be better? Or is a wooden stake in the heart not the proper disposal method for your friendly neighborhood vampire?

M
So a sword can only be sharpened if it is to be used as a weapon? I'm confused -- unsharpened swords are used for practice, sharpened ones are for decoration. Roughly half the swords listed at http://www.swordsdirect.com/marto_swords.html are sharpened. As a decorative item, only part of the interest in a sword is visual -- the other is tactile; an unsharpened decorative sword is about as interesting as a reproduction Colt revolver with no moving parts.

True, the sword offered is purely decorative. Don't try using it or this might happen

Mork, what the hell you need with a copy of CK anyway??! :D

Better not win the sword or they'll be discontent and dissent across the realm! You don't want to be beheaded by that very sword you would win, do you??
