Raffle

In an effort to raise additional funds for the Autism Society of Washtenaw County, we’ll be raffling away a number of donated prizes in the evening on Saturday. Raffle tickets cost $1.00 individually, or you have the option to buy “your height in raffle tickets” for $20.00. “Your height in raffle tickets” is a way to get double, if not triple the amount of raffle tickets for your dollar. It works like this – As the purchaser, you’ll be asked to step on the end of a long line of raffle tickets. One of our volunteers will then take the other end of a raffle roll, and break off the tickets when they’ve reached the top of your head. A person who is 5ft 10 inches tall for instance would receive aprox. 47 – 50 raffle tickets for $20.00 (as opposed to spending $50.00).
Spectators and event participants are allowed to buy as many raffle tickets as they’d like to increase their chances of walking away with some incredible prizes.
Raffle Prizes:

* Mythlogic Gaming Rig
* Nintendo Wii Console
* Case of BAWLS

Food & Drinks
Free BAWLS Energy Drink

Participants will receive FREE BAWLS Energy Drinks throughout the weekend (until the supply of over 1,000 bottles runs out)!
Free Pizza

An MPCon tradition is to provide free pizza on Saturday. This even is no different!
Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream

As a special treat, Penguicon has agreed to come by and make some Liquid Nitrogen ice cream for the hungry gaming masses. That's right, Commander Tux and a few ice cream making mad scientists will be there whipping up batches of LN2 frozen treats for all and sundry... and we'll be handing ‘em out FREE to all of the gamers.

How do you complete the Halo 3 Spartan officer achievement and how do you get GamerScore? I want to get the Rogue Helemet for Halo 3. But I've been searching around on google and it said that this achievement has changed. So please help! And also I wanted to get the Security shoulders by getting something called 750GS. What is that? Can someone please tell me what GS is and how to get it higher?
