Also, I'm not sure if this is the first you've heard of the new site, but it was posted by a new user at my magazine's 1UP.com. forums. Here's his address: http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5457094

Yeah this seems a bit too inelegant to be part of the game proper.

Oh I'm quite certain this is a fan-profit effort. It kinda happened naturally during the AI game and nobody really complained. It has gained more prominence with each one, although tending to be run by group mods. This is just an attempt to get there first (and presumably make whatever money there is to be made). Personally I'll wait for a more-talented design effort. And I prefer polo shirts anyway. Very Happy

I ordered a T-shirt for the hell of it. And also sent out 5 coupons codes out for placing the order to show friends. I also recieved a coupon.

Interesting fact.
The valid to date (Aug 24th again) , and possibly the coupon code plays a part, not sure.

You'll know it's game-sponsored if they use a pic of Margaret that we haven't seen anywhere else.

Until that time, just know that you're putting money in someone else's pocket. Wink
