Random: Pyragon + Firefly Clip = Awesomeness

S.O.F.T Competition: "And the winner is..."
[Alex] Hey Squaddies, it is time to announce the winner of
our first S.O.F.T Competition!
The competition was to show us what Nerf means to you at Christmas time, and it was great to see a variety of different submissions. We thank all those who entered the competition; you guys submitted some great entries to us! It was tough to choose a winner though… really, it was!
This being our first competition / giveaway, we had quite a bit of learning to do, so we thank you all for your patience and understanding!
So! Without further delay! We here at S.O.F.T have [finally!] chosen our winner for the Christmas Giveaway Nerf Elite Stockade to be…
[...dramatic empty space!...]
Jeremy Arifin!
The winning entry was with his brother showing off his ‘homemade’ Nerf blaster in front of the Christmas Tree styled out with Nerf Darts and even a Jolt on top!

S.O.F.T. Christmas Competition Entries - Announcement Tomorrow :D
[ALEX EDIT] Link missed one of the photo entries, so I'm just re-do'ing the list~
(Link)
Hey Squaddies! No doubt, all of you are on the edge about who is the
lucky victor of Alex's prize of an Elite Stockade! Well, we haven't
quite decided yet. But, we shall commune and discuss it tonight, and
then announce the lucky winner here on the blog tomorrow, 10/01/2013. But, for convenience and your viewing pleasure, let's see what our talented Squaddies have been coming up with.
Remember, one of these lucky individuals shall be receiving a Stockade soon :D
1. Curtis 'Soraka' Smith
"'Twas the Nerf before Christmas, and all through the map,
not a blaster was sounding, not even a snap.
Spare mags were shoved in pockets, bands, all around,
in the hope that soon the air-horn would sound.
The Nerfers were nestled all snug in their tents,
while visions of 20-metre headshots danc'd in their heads.
And Alex in his mask and with his lolmod's face,
had just settled in for a long VIP's wait.
When from among the attackers there came a shout,
so Alex got up to see what it was about.
Across to the other spawn he went,
hoping it was worth the time spent."
2. Psy Chosis:
"Here you go lads.. A shot of me and my homies, protecting the Xmas tree from the sudden invasion of present deprived zombies."
3. Joe Craddy
4. Jayden Urch
"This is what Nerf means for me at Christmas.."
4. Jeremy Arifin
"The person in front of the Xmas tree is my brother (we
look exactly the same) with a home made SNAP bow MK5, made with all
Aussie materials and a personalised paintjob."
"This one is of a is just a little 'representation' from a memory many years ago of what happened to my brother on Christmas (of course it wasn't exactly the same)"
5. Todd Buswell
"My kids with their Xmas presents
And I quote......
'you are THE GREATEST dad ever!!!!' "
Looks like our Squaddies have had a 'Nerfy' Christmas. (chuckle)
Which entry do you think will win that Stockade? Tune in tomorrow and find out!

[Final Update] Competition entries close this Sunday the 6th of January 2013. The winner will be announced on Wednesday the 9th.

Hey all Squaddies, did you have a great Christmas? I did :D although all my Nerf goodies arrived *after* Christmas... but you'll get a glimpse of them later tonight ;)

Overseas Squaddies; since this is our first sizeable giveaway, we want to keep

you have to do for your chance to win a Nerf Elite Stockade?
We would like you to show us what Nerf means to you at Christmas time. It can be in *almost* any format; photos, video, a written essay, music… whatever works for you that expresses how you feel about Nerf and Christmas :P … just as long as we are able to view it and understand it coherently :S

Some
suggestions / recommendations:
- As long as whatever you submit involves Nerf and Christmas together, let your creativity go with it! Just remember to try and be original, and again; do not steal other people’s ideas as mentioned earlier!
- We will be judging on quality, not quantity. You are welcome to submit multiple entries… but we think you’ll be better off spending more time focusing on one GREAT entry rather than lots of little ones :P
- Try to make sure your entry is easy to understand! Blurry photos, very shaky video or poorly spelt writing makes it difficult for us to judge :S
