How can tour guides help you out in QB Expo?

You know how gaming expos have tour guides? Well, the QB Expo is no different! As we speak, four tour guides are waiting eagerly and rehearsing to help promote your QB game by guiding Expo attendees to your project page! But they're going to need your help to make sure that they can be informative and entertaining hosts for everyone who attends the Expo.

To help the tour guides, open tour.txt using Notepad, Wordpad, or other text editing utility. If done correctly, your text utility should have the following on top:

Tour Guide Information

Below this line, write down any number of facts you have about your coding group, its members, and the history of your games. The idea is to establish a sense of prestige about your company, so concentrate mainly on your history as a freelance QB programmer. Remember! The more witty things you provide about your project, the more things the tour guides will have to say about your project. And that means a lot more publicity for your project! So make sure you fill that text file with a lot of interesting information about the games/projects you've made and the history of your coding group.

Examples of witty factoids would include things like

"Did you know that this game took only 36 hours to make?"

"Originally this game was going to have fifteen-player support, but was later dropped due to memory problems and to meet a very tight schedule."

"The people who made this game were all born in Sweden on the same year, 1954!"

As a reference, there's no limit to the number of witty facts you can include here, but you must have at least four things for the tour guides to say.

Your Expo project need not be done until the day when the Expo is finally launched, but your Expo page must be delivered to us by July 16, 2000. That gives you about three weeks to put together your Expo page. Good luck! If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact QBShire at QBShire@fcmail.com. Time is truly of the essence. Good luck.  

Once you're done with the Expo page, the booth, and giving information to the tour guides, your work on the 2000 QB Expo is finished. Hurray! Now your place in being a part of the Expo is complete. The only thing left to do is send your finished products back to us. Because so many people have signed up for this wonderful event, there needs to be an organized way to get all the QB developers to send their projects back to us for maximum efficiency. We want to make sure we don't miss anyone who registered. So we give very careful instructions on the next page!
