Anyone who is playing gears of war knows in the first game Anthony Carmine dies. And in the second game, Ben Carmine dies.



For the third one, they are voting on whether Clayton Carmine should live or die. To vote, you buy one of the shirts. http://www.necaclub.com/gearsofwar.html

I expect everyone here to buy at least 3 "Carmine Must Die" shirts.

Er... I think the shirts that count towards the votes are the XBL avatar shirts, NOT those; those shirts clearly state all proceeds go to Child's Play, and mention nothing about the vote to Save/Kill Carmine...

Both shirts still count as a vote, it doesnt cost anything to count how many they sold lol

Well I dont doubt they'd keep it somewhat of a secret, or just see which T-shirt goes out of stock first. I'm just slightly Irked by the idea of asking the whole world how you should write the story you're gonna sell.

Well its not really even part of the main story...the carmines are just a small side thing. And i doubt the shirts will go out of stock until its over, AND there are the online avatar shirts
