COMPETITION NOW CLOSED:
Well done everyone, I was most entertained by all of your entries, even the ones that sucked. The winners have been announced, so if you'd care to take a look here, you'll see the best.
Thanks

Wow, my very first EEGADP, and it's a corker. All you have to do is design what you think SR Towers looks like. Draw it on paper, then scan it, or design it on your computer, whatever. Just get us your designs of what you think our humble palace looks like and the best design(s) will win the game of their choice, and probably go on my wall. I'll decide how many winners (if any), cos I work here and I'm great.
Things to do:
Be funny
Make me laugh
Be kerrazy, madcap, bonkers and off the wall in your designs
Things not to do:
Use a picture of a Special Reserve Shop
For those of you who can't draw for toffee (exams have just passed and some may still be hurt), feel free to describe your ideas in scary detail.
Go, get to it. Try to get your entries in before September 16th, cos that's when I want them by. Feel free to send by post, you caveman.

I better point out again it's crap. It's only of the outside view... I didn't have time to do the inside...
Although I could just sketch that on paper, and scan it in. I might do...

Waves crash against the walls outside Tony's window... dawn of another day, it seems. The glow of the lighthouse is still visible even in day... the water gleaming from the reflection.
After tiding the curtains a bit more, he returns to his bedroom, and continues into the bathroom, where he prepares for the day ahead.
Ali knocks on the door... the only bathroom in the lighthouse is joined to Tony's room. He could go down stairs, but he just can't be bothered.
Tony finishes, and Ali jumps in quickly. A queue has formed outside the toilet in Tony’s bedroom, and he really doesn't want to wait.
Tony greets the queue, and says he'll see them later. He proceeds down the wooden steps that the queue has extended to, and he nears the bottom of the lighthouse, going through Ali's bedroom, Joe's, Webmaster's...
Until he reaches the ground floor of the lighthouse. Most would assume perhaps that he would open the door to fresh air, get into his car, and proceed for work.
But instead Tony climbs into the wicker basket placed under the stairway, and he is lowered down into the cliff of which the lighthouse stands itself. Tony is left in darkness for a few seconds...
Then the brightness of servers kicks in... He overlooks his empire…
Men lined up underneath, sitting along a conveyor belt, all wearing plastic hats. They grab games off the moving surface, wrap them, and then place them back on the belt.
On the other side of the room, there is a large sign, marked "World’s longest thread", and about a hundred servers lay underneath, to cope with the inane babblings of RastaBillySkank. Just a bit further away are even more servers, and a sign saying "Dan’s reviews" hangs over them.
The customer service desks are more towards the centre of the room. A hundred monkeys face one hundred PC screens, and can often be seen picking up phones, screaming down them, and then hanging up.
Tony makes a mental note to review the helpline rate.
As he reaches the ground floor of the giant warehouse, he decides to go and check the status of the goods that have to be delivered today.
Someone shouts across the room… apparently someone has won gameaday, has not received their prize, and continue to moan about it on the forums.
Life suddenly stops for half a second, and then all staff members rush towards the conveyor belts. They scramble over each other, trying to grab the game that the person requested...
It’s wrapped quickly, and one lucky man, smiling, runs out and jumps into a black speedboat. It zooms off into the distance, the man standing with one foot firmly placed on the side of the boat, knee in the air, and his hair waving in the breeze. His smiles reaches across the whole of his face, and the game is placed snuggly under his arm. Tony muses to himself about how Ali got his nickname, as he watches him ride off into the sunset.
Night comes, and the rest of the games are shipped out… All is peaceful in SR Headquarters. Tony returns up to the lighthouse, and watches over the sea, as his home lights the waves...
[No disrespect to the customer service of SR mind, had a problem with a free gift once, and they were great. I just thought monkey's screaming at people when they rang for help would be great.]
There's a picture to go with this, but I haven't finished it yet.
