UPDATE:
The contest is finished! Congratulations to the winners: DanielShawn, Zee, and agius1520.
Original contest post follows. Note that there are many spoilers in this thread.
----------------------------------------------------
OK, it's time to take this Wraeth thing seriously.
The first three people to send me a photo of themselves in front of Wraeth's story ending screens from the Outpost Kaloki Love Story downloadable content pack will win:
1 Free T-shirt of their choice from our vast collection (either NinjaBee or Cloning Clyde)
and 1 Free copy of Band of Bugs when it releases (or, if you prefer, equivalent MS points from a card or something)
and The undying and possibly undead love of the incomparable Wraeth.
Note: This is not easy. I did it last night, but I had to refer to a cheat sheet... We're serious about the contest, but I would suggest that racing to see if you can do it right before bedtime is probably not a great idea, as it may take some exploring and non-intuitive choices. In any case, this is a standing offer until three people come through with the evidence!
Details: e-mail the photo to contest@ninjabee.com. Make sure some distinguishable part of the love story text is on the screen. It's probably a good idea to save your game before the ending of the 5th level.
Disclaimer: Love is not a game. This contest does not imply that Wraeth's passion is anything but sincere and pure and oh so morbid.

Sweetness! Maybe I can nab the Ninjabee shirt, and save myself $10 for BoB! I figured the contest would be to do this, so I have actually been playing OKX for the past hour or so.
Good luck everyone...even though I will obviously win!

I did it earlier today and took a screen capture of the level, with the extra text. I suppose I could get a picture easily enough. Luckily, I saved =). Does it matter which of the two endings you get?
I was going to upload to it YouTube, but would that interfere with the contest?

The photo lets us reward three different winners without worrying about anyone simply passing the screenshot or text around to their friends.
And, wow, are you serious? That was fast...

I don't care which ending you get, but the longer ending is a bit harder.
Hmm... I suppose the youtube post won't mess up the contest, since people can't easily use that as a convincing TV image in a photo.
I'm honestly impressed. Did I severely overestimate the difficulty?

I needed a break from time attack as Agius has taken almost the #1 spots today. Love Story was a nice change of pace. I watched Rome while I played through the levels lol.
On the overestimation of difficulty: Unless I was really lucky, I think so. But I guess time will tell shortly =).

I have gone through the first few levels a couple times now...this is seeming tough for me.
Any tips for us Daniel?

To keep the spirit of the contest alive, I'll refrain from offering tips. I'll happily spill all after the contest is over, though =).

So is there a lot of patience in this, or does it comes pretty fast? In other words, will Wraeth ask you on a date pretty fast or do you wait for lots of offers from Blenda?

As of right now, we have still only one winner - DanielShawn.
So far, it's looking like he *was* lucky.
I feel pretty bad for anyone waiting forever for something that's apparently not going to happen... *ahem*. If you miss a chance at something, you might have to retrace your steps, including to a previous level.
You can also check the forums for hints - I think a few people have posted a few comments about the love story here and there.
