Sometime after 12:01 VRT on Saturday, an image will be posted on that Facebook page. The image will be a screen capture from AlphaMapper itself... and once it is up, the game is on! It will be up to fans of the page to scramble to find exactly what part of Alphaworld that the image came from! If you're unfamiliar with AlphaMapper, it is a great utility that you can use to see 'satellite images' of Alphaworld. The utility allows you to find coordinates in the world and save a web link that you can use to visit the location again on the map! These web links will be used in the contest -- when you find the correct coordinates, just navigate to the top of AlphaMapper and click 'Link to Location.' A link will appear, and you can submit that link to win the contest!The winner of this contest will recieve a one month citizenship.
You have to be a fan of the AlphaMapper Facebook Page to participate in the contest, so get to it! Byte keeps the page updated often, and he's made some really exciting progress towards the next update of the AlphaMapper! So as I said, get to it, and good luck everyone! :)
UPDATE: You no longer have to be a fan of the Facebook page to participate, and Byte has added Twitter to the mix as well! This forum thread has all of the details -- submission will be handled by e-mail now, and the content will only be posted to the Facebook or Twitter pages.
