    I got the same message and tried again, then I got a message that I'm posting comments too quickly. I'm guess I've been duped (intentionally or not) into disqualifying myself.

    Wait a few minutes and try again :) Just make sure your comment didn't already show up.

    Yeah, same here.

    These problems are why hardly any main page posts have comments. I figured the comments were locked down on purpose thanks to how *cough* 'helpful' the average comment was.

    i think that is discrimination about people and loyal fans living outside the specific countries why should they get the good stuff and we dont. I think we should have the same rights like any body else. Another thing about the conventions they have that dont go to other countries and so their fans get to see whats going on?

    Damn it.

    This was really interesting until those damned restrictions reared their ugly head.

    Would have loved to partake, but seeing as I live in Scandinavia, I can't.

    Why have these kind of giveaways, when not everyone can partake??

    Seems a bit unfair if you ask me...

    ^^^Now that makes sense. Wish I read it before...

    My comment:

    Count me in! Thanks!

    Ah, hit "Post Comment" and told me to "Please write a comment".

    Tried again...

    "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down."

    logged out, back in, and...

    ok, last try...Count me in! Thanks!

    "Please write a comment".

    Well, went from 1 page of comments to 4 pages while I was doing this.
    I don't see my comment(s) listed anywhere.
    Maybe I'll try it with Ghostery off? ...never had to before, but...

    Refresh page.
    Commented: "Last try..."
    "Please write a comment".

    Can you guess what's next?...lol

    Dammit Jim, I'm a gamer, not a typist!

    ok, One last time in a new browser...

    "ok, 7th times a charm?"

    "Please write a comment".

    Thanks, but no.

    The posting mechanism is flawed.

    I post, but it appears that my post didn't work. So I click post again and:

    Welcome, rickpaaa, please leave your comment.

    Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.
    You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.

    My comment hasn't showed up, but I won't try again since multiple posts would have the same effect as none.

    What a joke.... Star Trek is broadcast in almost EVERY country around the world so I don't see any reason why New Zealand, Australia, Croatia etc can't enter. We're good enough to watch the shows but not good enough to be "Licensed" to win something? pfft Sick of this America/UK only BS. There's other countries beyond those borders...

    ?Designation 1 of 3.
    ?S31 codename: Pegasus.
    ?Starfleet number: 45811A-Q.
    ?Captain (full rank Vice Admiral) Spartan of the U.S.S. Hermes (Hybrid) Ambassador Class Destroyer.
    Name of Origin: Sgt. Daniel Oliphant (presumed KIA in the 3rd World/Eugenics War, in China)
    Species: Human ( w/Borg Nanite and Technological implants)
    Born:1989
    Job title: Snr. Tactician, O.D.S.T. Operative within 4Sqn. S31, 102nd MACO Div. and strikeforce Omega Cmdr (lead ship being U.S.S. Hermes)

    Born Daniel Brett Nathaniel Oliphant on 26/12/1989 in Britain
    Joined British Army in 2005, During a conflict with North Korea and Seperatist Chinese Militia (a conflict which led to WW3) in 2021 whilst parachuting into a location B.E.L, found that a strange light encircled him! three days later he was prosumed M.I.A.
    He was never seen again!
    C/Sgt Oliphant (Oli) woke up in a blind sweat encaged in what seemed like a web of lights...he could make out strange clicking dialect often with high pitched squeals, for days he kept coming in and out of conciousness, little did he know where was! unbenownst to Oli he would not have freedom over what he did for nearly 3 Centuries! (unkown fractured memories) he had in fact been abducted by a Tholian-like Ship observing Earth, Oli woke 5 days later aboard this ship, an was then Knocked unconcious by a Stun Phaser, he did not wake again for 8 days, on the 14th day he awoke being dragged through the ship by a creature with red eyes and multiple limbs he was injected with a serum and fell in to a drug enduced coma! 3 days later he was place into cryogen-bio-stasis and was in tholian hands up until the stardate 2130. it was at this point in time that he would find himself being passed (or stolen as fate would have it) into the hands of another species...Klingon!!! Oli's memories of the klingons is vivid,as it is this species that he was 'assimilated' with! On an unkown date the Klingon ship was thrown into the edge of the delta quadrant by a asei-nebulic storm, unfortunately, into the midst of a war between Borg and a Insectoid Fleet above the planet Kreynt, thus came about the assimilation of Kreynt, inhabitants and the Klingon Vessel! In the S31 Archives more can be found of the memories of Oli from that point till detachment from the hive mind.
    (Spartan) joined Starfleet around the time the Ent-E was launched, he graduated with the highest qualifactions but was unruly and stubborn, but determined.
    Resistance Is Futile........

    The country restrictions are solely due to the licensing agreement that startrek-starships.com holds with it's licensor -- at this time, they are licensed to provide this product in the US, UK and Ireland, and is why the giveaway needed to have the restrictions it does. I apologize to anyone who won't be able to participate due to this.
