If they had achievements unlocked before 1/12, that's not fair to the rest of you. So that's a big NO, and it's in the rules.

I put it in bold and underlined it so people can't say they didn't read that part:

Should you submit a Gamertag with the required LP Contest Achievements having been unlocked prior to the start of the contest (i.e. 12:01 a.m. EST January 12, 2007) you will be automatically disqualified.

That's good to hear, after seeing a good number with it on my friends list.  Made me a bit antsy 'cause Friday can't come soon enough.  Thinking that disqualification includes any achievements gotten in correspondance to getting some of the required ones for the contest, considering you get points for each mission completed.  Actually..the contest rules don't state that, so you may need to modify it or else people can play up to the last mission without completing it and just complete it on the 12th.  Doesn't work so much with the 100 completed ranked matches tho...can't really keep track of that well. 

12:01 am startdate O_o  Lots of people won't even be able to play until after 9am when places open :P

And I'll be as fair as I can. :D

I'll try my best. That's a lot of matches though. I wonder if I should do the ranked or the story first. :confused:

Awesome. I'm five years behind. I find it ridiculously unfair that I can't sign up for a contest for a game that I'm old enough to buy anyway. :(

It's a matter of legality, unfortunately...

Yeah, I understand.

Hey, maybe if I'm lucky, my GameStop store will let me buy their Lost Planet cardboard display thing once they're done advertising the game. :D I've heard that people can buy those.
