So, I&#8217;m proud to announce that Space Sector has teamed up with Paradox Interactive and we&#8217;ll host a giveaway contest at Space Sector. Paradox will offer 10 copies of <a  title=\"Sword of the Stars 2 Lords of Winter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.paradoxplaza.com\/games\/sword-of-the-stars-ii\" target=\"_blank\">Sword of the Stars 2: Lords of Winter<\/a>, this 28th of October. But that&#8217;s not all. Paradox was generous and in addition to the 10 SotS2 copies it will also offer 20 copies of Sword of the Stars Complete Collection (the entire SotS original series).<\/p>\n<p>This means that the lucky 10 will get Sword of the Stars II and Sword of the Stars Complete Collection. The next set of 10 lucky ones will receive a copy of Sword of the Stars Complete Collection, which is a great way to enter in the SotS Universe also.\u00a0So, in total there will be a total of\u00a020 prize winners in this contest.<\/p>\n<h3>How to enter in the contest<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Follow on twitter:\u00a0<a  title=\"Space Sector Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/spacesector\" target=\"_blank\">@spacesector<\/a>,\u00a0<a  title=\"Follow Sword of the Stars at Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/SwordoftheStars\" target=\"_blank\">@swordofthestars<\/a>,\u00a0<a  title=\"Follow Paradox Interactive at Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/PdxInteractive\" target=\"_blank\">@PDXinteractive<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; OR &#8211; like <a  title=\"Space Sector in Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Space-Strategy-Games-Sector\/140235806032849\" target=\"_blank\">Space Sector<\/a>, <a  title=\"Sword of the Stars in facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SwordoftheStars\" target=\"_blank\">Sword of the Stars<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a  title=\"Paradox Interactive in Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ParadoxInteractive\" target=\"_blank\">Paradox<\/a>\u00a0on facebook<\/li>\n<li>Tweet for Sword of the Stars.

You folks can forget about points 1 and 2, you just need to subscribe the Space Sector newsletter (in the sidebar to the right) and Paradox&#8217;s newsletter by <a  title=\"Paradox's Newsletter\" href=\"http:\/\/forum.paradoxplaza.com\/forum\/register.php\" target=\"_blank\">registering<\/a> in their forum. This is not a big deal to ask I guess, and you can unsubscribe\u00a0both newsletters later at any time if you wish.
