[Edit: Okay, so I'm a little late on the haiku thing. So how about this? If you write a haiku on how awesome Gamania is, I'll give you a bonus +1 point.]

Earlier, I said there would be a Gamania contest. How well have you been reading and listening?

Well, the first person to answer the following ten questions correctly in a Private Message to me, Nick_Tan, will automatically be the winner. Everyone will be ranked by the number of correct answers given and then by the time of submission. Results and leaderboards will be posted on Monday. Sabotage I don't know about is fair game.

The winner will receive one-of-a-kind Gamania schwag, as well as some special prizes from our very GR office, that I am willing to give away because my ninja clan is forcing me to take a test of sacrifice. Five runner-ups will receive the large Gamania picnic mat above. (No booze included. We need them.)
