GameCube - winner? by Patchou on 07-29-2003 at 03:46 AM

Yo,

just a quick message (I'm taking a little pause from the hard work I'm putting in the last Lego I bought :p) to tell you that the winner who was selected for the GameCube last sunday has not showed up yet on Messenger. I've already added a second possible winner to the list and I'll continue like that until one of them signs in and gives me the proof that he has Messenger Plus! installed.

Good luck everybody!
Patchou

Now that's not true.  I've been logged in 24/7 for the past 3 months.

:rofl:
RE: GameCube - winner? by isometric97vf on 07-30-2003 at 01:25 AM

Chances of winning are like one in a million! :P


RE: GameCube - winner? by EvilSeph on 07-30-2003 at 02:04 AM

one in 4 million :P


RE: GameCube - winner? by s7a5 on 07-30-2003 at 05:23 AM

Patchou u have to pick the winners from Quebec, the shipping will be cheaper :rofl:


RE: GameCube - winner? by ZrednaZ on 07-30-2003 at 09:50 AM

When somebody wins, are all the e-mails erased so you have to sign up again?
Or are the e-mails still kept in the Gamecube database? ;)


RE: GameCube - winner? by bra1nwash on 07-30-2003 at 03:03 PM

hmmm...i wonder whether it wud b me...:rolleyes: 1 in 4 million chances indeed! very unlikely...


RE: GameCube - winner? by bach_m on 07-30-2003 at 03:05 PM

its 1 in 7200.


RE: GameCube - winner? by si3rra on 07-30-2003 at 10:14 PM

I think Patchou him self is the winner..
No shipping and a brand new GC!.. what about that  patchou?? ...


RE: GameCube - winner? by s7a5 on 07-30-2003 at 10:18 PM

im not agree with si3rra, but thats a nice point :rofl:


RE: GameCube - winner? by isometric97vf on 07-30-2003 at 10:25 PM

one gamecube every two weeks?!? for how long until patchou will be broke??? ;)


RE: GameCube - winner? by Muss on 07-31-2003 at 10:47 AM

well, probably On emonth from now :refuck:


RE: GameCube - winner? by billywoods1 on 07-31-2003 at 04:34 PM

Not me then. :dodgy:

It's a fix! ;)

Edit: I think Patchou will be able to afford it for as long as he keeps updating Plus! Apparently he gets so many times more than Fraisie's wages, someone said it was either 12 or 36. If Fraisie gets £20 a week (:dodgy:) Patchou would get £400. That's per week. I doubt either of the figures are right (I made one up :P), but I'm sure Patchou gets more than he needs for 3 Gamecubes every week. :P


RE: GameCube - winner? by Patchou on 07-31-2003 at 06:08 PM

lol, don't talk aout money as I won't answer :). Anything you have read are just speculations as I never talk about it myself :).

As for the gamecube, I already have one :). If you want to read an extract of the chat log I had with the winner, go to www.msgplus.net/win and click on the "see the winners list" link below.

It's more than 4 million, because my friends use Plus! and they haven't donwloaded from anywhere, so they aren't counted. And like me, other people may have shared Plus! with their friends... ^o)
RE: GameCube - winner? by wacky on 08-09-2003 at 11:09 PM

erm.. not everyone that has plus! installed has entered the contest :rolleyes:


RE: GameCube - winner? by dom. on 08-09-2003 at 11:33 PM

¬_¬ @ everyone i know having MP2 already :'(


RE: GameCube - winner? by kao on 08-09-2003 at 11:50 PM

Yeah... it's the most reliable though, you can simulate pretty much anything Plus does.  I don't see why anyone wouldn't install plus, and it would take them a while to make up a (!VER) or get one off the internet.  Now I think about it, the Share button would be a more reliable test, but oh well...

:o New Zealand as the first delivery destination :lol: Patchou sure is rich
RE: GameCube - winner? by ling_vob on 08-11-2003 at 03:57 PM

just send a sound command


RE: GameCube - winner? by Choli on 08-11-2003 at 06:19 PM

Yes, a sound command, or format (italics, color, ...) some text.


RE: GameCube - winner? by Chrono on 08-11-2003 at 06:54 PM

U can simulate everything :chrongue:
But its a good proof I think :P


RE: GameCube - winner? by lylesback2 on 08-11-2003 at 08:15 PM

i want one! lol

I know, but there are some things harder to simulate, for example: the automessages are very easy to simulate and the format codes are more complex.
RE: GameCube - winner? by Guido on 09-02-2003 at 06:23 PM

How are the automessages easy to simulate? don't they have different format?

RE: GameCube - winner? by Vaitork on 09-08-2003 at 12:34 AM

Maybe there's chance for a venezuelan to win? If a girl from Peru won, then i have the chance too (i guess...)

Is there any kind of statistics of this contest? Is it growing? How many ppl actually DO participate? Would it be wrong it Patchou gave this info?^o)

Anyway.. see ya ppl and good luck!;)


RE: GameCube - winner? by Patchou on 09-08-2003 at 01:47 AM

lol, no, I'm not rich, I do that because I'm happy to share :). As for the odds of winning, in the last 2 draws you had about 1 chance over 4000.


RE: GameCube - winner? by Chrono on 09-08-2003 at 01:55 AM

Very good chances (Y)


RE: GameCube - winner? by Vegeta on 10-11-2003 at 08:02 PM

OK, so what do you have to do to get a game cube? i really wanna get one(sorry im very late about the whole game cube thing):$


RE: GameCube - winner? by user2319 on 10-11-2003 at 08:05 PM

install :plus2: you will go to a page after installation automatically. Click on gamecube contest and enter the details. Then you have the chance of winning a GameCube.


RE: GameCube - winner? by Vegeta on 10-11-2003 at 08:17 PM

oooh ok, i see, ok thanks
i did that alrady then


RE: GameCube - winner? by Tochjo on 10-11-2003 at 08:17 PM

I thought the contest was already over?


RE: GameCube - winner? by Vegeta on 10-11-2003 at 08:21 PM

i thought the same thing, when does it finish, and how many chances you have to win a game cube 1 out of 4 million? how can you raise your cances of winning?

The msgplus.net web site has been updated, the main menu has been modified to include a map of the site, pages have been edited, content has been added or removed, in one word, you could say that the site has been refreshed. This week also marks the end of the GameCube contest. More than $1000 in prizes has been distributed since the beginning of the contest and, to thank you all for your participation, 2 extra lucky people will receive a complete prize package (GameCube/game/memory-card). The winners will be selected among every participant who participated since July.
I'd say this is pretty good proof the contest is over.
RE: GameCube - winner? by Vegeta on 10-11-2003 at 08:27 PM
