The Proud Mammal “Name our Platypus” Giveaway!

Big news coming out of Proud Mammal this week. We’ve got ourselves a new addition to the family. Meet our new mascot (Thanks Sentry_Storm)! You may have already seen it in other sections of this site, or on our social media, but there’s one thing missing. He (or she, we’re not prejudice) doesn’t have a name.

Ben and I were discussing our favorite names for the plucky platypus you see before you. Duckbill Phil, Tim Johnson, Puck and Atticus were some of our ideas, but we ended up not being able to decide. That’s where you come in. We’re holding a contest for YOU to name our Platypus! Come up with the best name, or the worst names possible! If more than one person enters the same name, only the first to write it down will have a claim on it. We love silly and stupid, but really, all it has to do is ring true… and don’t get all uptight when you lose, Ben and I are picking the winner, and we’re what you call a Bias. Tweet your suggestions to @Proud_Mammal with the hashtag #nameourplatypus between February 3rd and February 17th, and feel free to enter as many times as you like. The winner will get a fresh, hot out of the oven, copy of ACHTUNG! mailed to them… FOR FREE! (see the bottom of this post for all the legal mumbojumbo)

*edit* We’ve had enough people commenting on their dislike of twitter to compel us to add a second contest entry location. From now on, you will be able to comment here on the Proud Mammal Chronicle, and as long as you have an email associated with your user name, we’ll be happy to add you to our list of entrants. *edit end*

And speaking of ACHTUNG! Allow me to present the sleek and sexy ACHTUNG! Second Edition that’s up for grabs in this contest. It’s got a brand new Filibuster system to keep those games smooth and on point, it has a revised rule system to boost the fun quotient, and the cherry on the top, we fixd a few speling erorrs that ended up really annoying me! If you liked the idea of the game before and didn’t buy it, well now you’ll love the idea! If you already own a copy of ACHTUNG! First Edition? Well lock that in an airtight safe right this instant, because it’s just became an impossible to find collectors piece!
