I truly wish I had a good idea, sorry.

The perk is they shoot you in the face with hornets and then push you off a balcony.

From what I experienced in another word of mouth buzz generating site T-shirts did play an important role.
I'd certainly be happy with more access to those gorgeous art assets like the Big Daddy featured on the Cult front page. Perhaps the game's soundtrack burnt on actual CD for a crisp sound that can only be rivaled by that of an exploding security bot?
Something that gives the vibe of the game while being a really neat conversation piece would make for a cool perk.
A classy promo was from High Moon Studio's Darkwatch with a real hefty pewter replica, yeah it was that detailed and weathered, badge matching those from the game.
Perhaps some sort of Rapture armband or old style newsie beret from the 1940's?
A stuffed little sister beanie complete with stitched scars and a cute widdle hypo to drain your corpse's vital Adam remnants?
In terms of cost something that wouldn't be too damaging could be a signed banner sized posted from the entire game crew. "Welcome To Rapture 1955" in big happy letters. :cool:
Good thread Rapture_Tourist.

If it's about getting some things then I hope they can ship it over to Europe too. :D If it's not US only...
But I think it will be something like the stuff jackinthebox mentioned. And that's cool. :cool: :D I doubt it's gonna include beta testing the game, they'll handle that in-house. But perhaps a visit is possible, for those lucky bastards living over there. :)

When will this whole thing start? And how can one become a Cult Member? :confused:
But they won't get the BDH videó before the "normal" people, because I think it comes out in a day or two. According to what Ken said on Feb. 6: "it's coming out in less than a month", and now the time is almost up, so I guess tomorrow might be the lucky day :).

You have been choosen to be part of one of the most elite societies on Earth. The greatest minds and strongest bodies flourish in Rapture. The only boundary here are the ones that you create for yourself. Realize your unlimited potential. Attain all you have ever desired.
...Member perks coming soon...
Rapture Mom/IG/2K:
As one of the many "cult of Rapture" followers, I have want to "Attain all you have ever desired". I have a request in regards to member perks coming soon. Would you please give consideration to making the CE/LE/SE of BioShock available to your cult followers for direct purchase through 2k.
Thank You.

well that was an interesting and enlightening read.
the things i learnt from chain link clicking from the hale-bopp comet were:
-Heaven's gate commited cult suicide.
-Self-immolation is a ritual suicide often associated with cults.
-Osama Bin Laden founded Al'Qaida.
-Osama Bin Laden has anywhere between 12 and 24 children, 11 of which were born from one of his wives.
the things wikipedia teaches you.

How about general art submissions? As in not necessarily artwork, but some form of art? I know lots of the other threads have mentions of music, deco artbooks, the with the story about the photograph, etc. So you could have a general art submission contest for multiple medias. (Psst...I'd love to team up with somebody who can draw for a Rapture comic!)
Elizabeth could choose a team of 10 people and we have to outpost Hatesink.:cool: Whoever wins gets the prizes?
I know somebody else mentioned this awhile back but perhaps an in character mini-RP on the boards? It's not really a contest (i guess it could be), but I imagine it'd take more time to do than any of the others. If you do something like this after the release I'd love to try (I know AEG (then again their main job is RP) does this like yearly for their Legend of the Five Rings property - I lose one of my friends to it for weeks :))
That's all I got right now...

yes it kind of sucks that these competitions require our possession of photoshop or some other high-quality art program (im looking at mspaint as the culprit), and the ability to use said program, if we wish to have a chance at the prizes.. of course we could always scan in drawings?
I would really love to see this group of 10 outpost hatesink. It would be pretty funny if they managed to.

I'm really hoping that there will be more than just artistic competitions. I for one make a stick figure look bad. I'm pretty sure a 2 year old scribbling on a piece of paper with a crayon can do better than myself. Also hopefully there could be some quick (or at least not extremely long detailed) things to do seeing as i'm about to head over to the desert to do my duty for my country, and i'll be gone for a little while and don't have much time to invest.

they really need to give us more hints to what the perks areI'm hoping for t-shirts with the BioShock logo. It just seems apt and would probably build the 2K database (with everyone logging on for t-shirts or whatever etc.) An extra content disk would be cool. Or maybe a gene-bank to plasmi-quick patch disc by 'direct sale' form the website for cult members.

My tattoo artist friend got back to me and said he'll try it out on some hides and see how it comes out. They test using some sort of animal skin that closely resembles human epidermis. I wonder how legal all that sounds, but anyways if Bioshock is truly a gem of a gaming experience, I'm getting a "Welcome to Rapture" tat.

Every cult member gets a free copy of bioshock!!! All you need to do to get it is either pay a fee to your local video game retailer and he will hold it for you, the fees range from $50 to $70 depending if you buy xbox or pc versions and if you purchase the limited editon or not. People who do not want to pay a holding fee can go to thier local retailer on 8-21 and just pay a shipping cost of exactly the same amounts as listed above, and there you go!! You collected your cult member perk of a free copy of Bioshock.

Sort of a random thought, but wouldn't it be interesting if everyone signed their real names on the Rapture site. Then through the magic of programming the names would be transfered to the game assigning each name to a different splicer that you encounter. So when you kill a splicer you would find the name of a cult member on him/her. So then you could come on the forums and say, "hey *soandso*! I just froze you, bashed you with a wrench and shattering you to a million pieces!"
That way we would be Cult members in and out of the game. Probably not possible, but that would be funny.
Maybe someone in the mod community can cook something up after the games release?

v.dog
05-23-2007, 01:11 AM
If there are dupilcate names, you'd only have one instance. It wouldn't matter whether it was Mark Johnson from Biose, Idaho, or Mark Johnson from Fairlight, East Sussex, both of them would come across that splicer and yell "It's me!".
But you're right, for those with non-Western names, it might be a bit unfair. Having their names on European/Caucasian splicers would look odd, and there's no sign of anyone from the East/Middle East/Africa/etc. :(

So far it means nothing, even to mods, but I have a feeling it will mean we'll get goodies like a day ahead of muggles. Adam mentioned getting exclusive access to the Collectors Edition, plus having access to advanced reservations for the Bioshock launch party in New Yoik City.
Thogec
05-27-2007, 05:49 AM
I just wonder how the exclusive invites to the launch party would work for those of us in other parts of the country/world would work... It would be kind of expensive to drop the millions of dollars to fly us there, and that's assuming they get knock-off rates. Invites to people that don't live nearby would be almost insulting if we can't afford to get the flight and hotel stay ourselves.
As to perk options, maybe some exclusive down loadable skins for in game, such as for the guns, and maybe some different outfits for the BD, LS and slicers.

Umm that's kinda why there only giving away a few of them as prizes ;) :rolleyes:
I was thinking about the launch party last night, I'm in dire need of a vacation, and taking a trip to new york around the time of the launch party would literally halve the amount of money it would take me to get a decent vacation, hell I could take a bus there. Plus since I've never been to NYC before it'd be neat. And I could side-trip to jersey to stop at Jay and Silent Bob's secret stash and load up on more collectibles.

I understand making it prizes. However, what if one of the winners ends up being a soldier that just got shipped to Iraq or Afghanistan? His unit can't and won't let him fly back, even on someone else's dime. It comes down to fairness on that kind of thing. It's bad enough that some of us that would have loved to be in on the testing couldnt' because we don't live in NYC. I read the invite and wished like all get out that I could have been there, but I was in Utah at the time without the funds, or the leave time to get out to NYC. Besides, my wife would have kicked my butt if I blew that kind of money on a trip just to play a video game for several hours over the course of a few days...
I think the Cult perks should definately be something that everyone can get, cult members that is. Prizes like a trip to the launch party would be really cool as a drawing, but for those members that can't use the prize, for whatever reason, there should still be a great consolation prize for them.
I also wonrder that we can't all be in on the launch party via IRC or some other similar means... I noticed that Shadowrun is doing just that for it's launch on Tuesday, and I don't think it's near as anticipated as Bx is.
To be honest, I never really took that part of the site that seriously. I didn't equate the 'perks' as literally being advantages that we'd get that we don't already by being potentially hardcore fans (ie. always being up-to-date with any new word on the game out there, and getting those media goodies as soon as they are available). I mean, we didn't even do anything to be part of any 'cult', we just signed on to a forum. I think the community itself implies its advantages.
So far it means nothing, even to mods, but I have a feeling it will mean we'll get goodies like a day ahead of muggles. Adam mentioned getting exclusive access to the Collectors Edition, plus having access to advanced reservations for the Bioshock launch party in New Yoik City.
I suppose it really comes down to 2K's side of things. As you already know (but others here may not) Flagship Studios, the guys working on Hellgate: London recently had a community day on which they invited a group of fans consisting of a contest winner and the heads of various fan sites down to their studio, and gave them a tour of the studio and a playtest of the game. Their whole trip and accommodation was paid for, and what's more, courtesy of EA they each walked home with an Intel Core Duo Quad cpu and motherboard. That's the kind of thing big marketing campaigns are made of.

Argh I hope these perks aren't going to be solely digital. Believe it or not I want BioShock to be a carbon-based experience for me in a lot of ways.
If there would be exclusive access to purchase CoR or Bx merch for the long time CoR folks, that would be excellent.
I just don't wanna see the perks becoming wallpapers, avatars, AIM buddy icons, and screensavers...I can make those myself; and would be willing to help with that if that's what it comes down to :o

Thanks 2kliz, for the code. I don't own a 360 myself but i have a good friend who is also looking forward to BioShock who was very thankful for it. You rock.

This cult theme puts me into a bit of a quandary. I've already paid for the BioShock theme and gamerpics. So should I use the Cult theme, assuming Elizabeth deems me worthy of having it, or keep my old one? From what I've seen, they both look excellent.
Edit: Upon seeing the Rapture Gazette pictures, I've decided on the Cult theme, heh. Now, hopefully I win the Haiku contest, or otherwise am noticed and given a theme.
use both, mix and match the blades you like best to create what you consider to be the ultimate bioshock theme. K.I.S.S. rule.

I am just wondering where I can get the exclusive gamer pics. They don't appear anywhere on the Marketplace (only two packs "Artist" and "Character" packs for 80 MSpoints each show up - which are obviously not exclusive). Do I just choose one of those packs that shows there for 80 points, and then enter my code, and then out of nowhere the exclusive pic(s) come?
I have had the code now for a couple of weeks and have been checking the Marketplace on a regular basis. I still don't see any pictures that aren't also available for microsoft points.
Elizabeth seems to be extremely busy, no surprise there, so any help the CoRists can give me would be gratefully accepted. Thanks!

If you have a code, you go to marketplace and press "Redeem Code" and type it in!

I'll just add, I had seen that spot all along, I just didn't know it was for anything other than microsoft points or XBL subscription numbers. That is kinda of cool, the code tells Microsoft exactly what content/points etc. they are supposed to send out!
Thanks again. Feelin' a little like a moron. ;) :o

I presume this is the Cult of Rapture. That, or check the main site for a signup thingy, maybe there's something there. I think there's a newsletter or something you sign up for on the main site.

Just join the forums and get to know some people. Seriously, I had joined about 3 days before the first perk was announced and Elizabeth still gave it to me. Just join in, be friendly, and learn about BioShock. :)
It is just a way of rewarding people that help the game along, either by telling their friends to get it, or answering questions on this forum. ;)

While were here i wanted to know, will the part that allows you to redeem the code for CoR stuff always be there? cause ive been having problems with the net lately that may take time to sort out, i dont want to go through all the trouble of getting online and finding that i cant acess them anymore.

Are you asking if the code expires, or if they are in limited suply?
As far as I know, they are in limited suply, but I have no idea if they expire. Ask Elizabeth.

I don't want to be that stupid sap who begs for 48-hour Live codes, and MS Points, but is there a minimum post count required to get a code, and are there even any left? I'd love to get one of those sweet themes or Gamerpics.

I think you either misread my question, didn't read the entire or just made a really bad joke. I think I know what you mean though, and you make a good point. Honestly, I just drool over anything BioShock, plus I wanna be part of the club! :D

Too bad I just found out about this. I probably should've registered & started posting sooner as I used to just lurk around the forums a lot. I guess they are probably all gone now too (I really like the gamerpicture of the guy singing in the red background lol).

They're all very nice benefits. Big thumbs up to the designer. I won't be using them though, I'm happy with my current gamer picture/theme.:)

That site tells you about it and how to get it. I doubt I am worthy enough of the awesome singing gamerpic since I don't have many posts. I like to think that quality > quantity though.

I'm telling you, I asked 3 days after I joined, and I got the theme.

You joined earlier though. Plus I am asking for a certain gamerpic and not a theme. Also, add-on the limited supply of these things plus the n00bishness of myself and I pretty much have no chance in getting it. lol

I wrote up a nice e-mail... so that probably didn't hurt.
Look, it isn't some award you are getting, it's a nice gesture, and a way of marketing.
DNAgent
07-23-2007, 03:24 AM
I know it's not an award. It's a reward. =P
I don't really think I would get anything period though since i'm pretty sure that by now they are out of everything. A lot of people signed up to this site and a lot of people have been here a lot longer than me. I did write a e-mail (and even made a private message since sometimes my e-mails won't send for some reason). My point is that everything is probably gone by now but it don't matter cause i'm still going to be on the forums. I was just curious if anything would even still be left.
It's kind of like getting to a pizza party late.

You haven't posted much yet. Just post some more, start topics, etc.

Yea, I try to avoid starting topics because I have only just regsiterd this month and most of my questions for this game have already been started in other topics so if I started more topics it would just clogg up the forums which we really don't need.:p

well, I dont think anyone is really sure on what the criteria is, other than that all us older members got them, I think Liz gives them out at her discretion. so you have to email her again

i haven't gotten anything, the gamerpics are the most important thing since that's what everyone sees and since i don't like any of them i don't care, i bet they're really busy so i don't blame them either.

Boy I sure can't wait. I need to find a game to tie me over..
Maybe I'll finally complete SS2 or maybe I'll just replay Deus Ex for the 10th time.
