In the before time…. back in the long, long ago… things were dark. BioWare had made some excellent games, but the players of those games had few places to go to seek help with their games or to seek information on upcoming titles from BioWare. So BioWare came up with an idea to create a place. It would be a place where people could meet to discuss BioWare’s games. It would be a place where they could learn about BioWare’s upcoming projects. A place where they could seek the answers with other fellow to critical questions like “Is a Paladin armed with a +2 longsword wearing chain mail of speed more effective than a Ranger with rapid shot and equipped with a +3 bow and fire arrows” or “If Canderous, Black Whirlwind and Minsc all walked into the same bar, how fast would the barkeep need to call the local police?” And so, on this day 5 years ago today, the BioWare community and forums went live.
And we’re all extremely pleased at its success which is in no small part to people like you. In these 5 years we’re had excellent community support and grown to over 3 million registered members. We’ve celebrated the releases of Neverwinter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide, Hordes of the UnderDark, Knights of the Old Republic, and Jade Empire. We’ve launched the successful BioWare store and Digital Distribution program with Neverwinter Nights modules like Infinite Dungeons and the Wyvern Crown of Cormyr. And we’ve announced our next excellent games like Mass Effect, Jade Empire for the PC and Dragon Age.
To help celebrate the 5th anniversary of the forums we’re holding a contest as our way of saying thanks for an excellent first five years and hopes for many more excellent years to come. What we want from you is to come up with the tag line for a BioWare movie. A tag line is that line on a movie poster that grabs the attention of the person reading it. For example the movie Alien had “In Space no one can hear you scream”. We want you to come up with the best, most creative tag line for a movie based on any of our titles. It can be Baldur’s Gate (and sequels), Shattered Steel, Neverwinter Nights (or sequels or digital modules), Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, MDK2, or Dragon Age. It can be funny, serious or scary. It can be whatever you want as long as you follow the rules below.
Rules
1)Each entrant must have a valid BioWare forums message board account with working email address.
2)Only TWO entries per person allowed. Submitting more than two entries means disqualification of all entries.
3)Once an entry is submitted, you cannot cancel it or ask it to be removed in favor of a different entry. You can submit both at once or submit them separately.
4)Each entry must be no longer than 2 sentences (This isn’t a short story contest. Think and be creative before entering).
5)All submissions must follow standard forum rules
6)Contest ends Midnight Edmonton time October 31st. Any late entries are not valid.
7)Judging of the contest and awarding of prizes is done by the Community Team (me and Jay) and our decisions are final.
So what can you win for sending in the best entry? How about a collection of very cool stuff celebrating our 3 next to be released titles?
One Grand Prize
One signed Copy of Mass Effect (Shipped upon Release)
One exclusive Mass Effect Team T-Shirt
One copy of Jade Empire PC (Shipped upon Release)

I'd enter this just for the fun of it with no extra incentive. 
A few questions:
May I ask whereabouts to send them to...? 
Only two sentences even if each sentence is only one word each?
Some tag lines get attached to the picture on the movie poster. Do I take it that we can't do that (from something in the game like an NPC portrait)?
Wow, five whole years! And I've only been corrupting the forums for around a year so far. | |

All entries get posted here in this thread. We'll keep it open until the contest is over, so start posting.
Yes only 2 sentances no matter the content. And we aren't worried about attatched pictures, just the words.

I think that BG and BG2 already have a tag - The text that appears before the begining cutscene.  | |

My ME tagline would be (this is hinting at the return of the reapers BTW): We thought we were the most powerful civilization in the galaxy...we were wrong.

I plan on doing one tagline now, and my last one around October 30th. This would be for Mass Effect:
"It's a big galaxy out there, and it's about to rear it's ugly head." | |
