Contest Rules and Prizes by Patchou on 03-23-2005 at 05:40 AM

Hey everyone,

I though you'd like to know that I just finished ordering the Alienware Laptop. I'm planning to take a couple of screenshots of the box (maybe with the Plus! Babe :)) to make sure not a single person thinks the price is not real. I've also updated the contest rules to include the full description of the laptop as ordered, feel free to check that out and dream ;).

Good luck to all of you!
Patchou

Hmmm...
Great!

Alienware laptop with Plus! babe... :drool:

Do you also send the Plus! babe with the laptop? :grin: (j/k :P)

Anyway, I will read the updated rules now...


By the way, I replied one minute later after you made this thread :banana:

Thank you....:)

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Dane on 03-23-2005 at 05:42 AM

Thanks for the update Patchou.  I wish i'd win it, lol, I've needed a new computer for years :P.  Anyway, the odds are against me :P, you should show how many chances you currently have to win on the contest links page.

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Chrono on 03-23-2005 at 05:43 AM

can you tell us when will you be picking up the winners of each week?

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Patchou on 03-23-2005 at 05:48 AM

5 people are selected everyday forthe final draw, read the rules Chromo :). As for the weekly winners of the PSP, they'll be anounced on mess.be.

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Chrono on 03-23-2005 at 05:49 AM

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Patchou on 03-23-2005 at 05:50 AM

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Sunshine on 03-23-2005 at 10:36 PM

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by albert on 03-23-2005 at 10:55 PM

thx Patchou!

But I wanted to ask you somthings thats been on my mind for quite a time now : How do you afford all this??

I firstly thought it was because of the Messenger Plus! gear you can atully buy but then I realized you paying the double to charity..

so.. is all your profits from the adware prog in the msg plus! setup?! is that enough to pay PSP's and a brand new Laptop??!

Edit : member who posted before got me on that one.. :|

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by L. Coyote on 03-23-2005 at 11:00 PM

Guys, it's obviously (like Matty said in a closed thread) thanks to the thing most people argue about all the time. The sponsor.

Anyway, I'm trying to be hopeful about this, but I never win anything. :tongue:

Yes it can. Thanks to the OPTIONAL sponsor...
- You don't HAVE to use the sponsor.
- Patchou can put his full time in Messenger Plus!
- You get the best Messenger Plus! possible
- Patchou can keep alive and have some cash
- You get a chance to win a PSP or even a 3000 dollar laptop

Isn't adware just fantastic? :)

Agreed. :drool:

I hope I'm lucky...

But then I was thinking, if you get more chances by referring people, don't mess.be and other "famous" people get more chances and "outstand" others?

There is a static image for when Flash Player is not installed/disabled, plus even the *page title* says "Win a PSP and an ALIENWARE laptop"

Anyway... :P
RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by L. Coyote on 03-24-2005 at 04:48 AM

You shouldn't really be surprised.

People complain there is no option to not install the sponsor. :rolleyes:

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Chestah on 03-24-2005 at 04:48 AM

shhhh :P, maybe the person just saw PSP and went "OMG OMG" and then was too excited to see the laptop they skipped to sign up ;)

So very very true :P, but have you noticed this release hasn't been as bad with people complaining about the sponor :O
RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Patchou on 03-24-2005 at 06:48 AM

Yes, I confirm, most of the money comes from the sponsor program... as you can see, I'm putting a lot in the promotion of version 3.50, that's simply because I really believe in that version :). I want people to talk about it, to know it exists.. what better than a contest like the current one? now you see why referring is important, if nobody refers anybody then I won't have enough users to back me up in the next couple of months.. so, be sure you sent this link to all your friends and contacts ;).

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Stigmata on 03-24-2005 at 07:38 AM

will you be contacted if you are in the 5 a day group?


if you are in the 5 a day group, do you have a chance of winning the psps?

Well patchou, as you do not aswer on other topics (you're plrobably very busy, this I understand) I'll post it here (god I'm mean :p): How can we see how much chances we have of winning the PSP and Laptop contest?

Unfortunately you can't... a whole user system would have to be created, unless you want to have all that data public, which is not a good solution at all :P  I know you'd like to know how many chances you have accumulated, but it's overkill :P
RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by crank on 03-24-2005 at 08:12 PM

Just cross your fingers and hope Hurricane ;)

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Tobeon on 03-25-2005 at 09:15 AM

I'm hoping! Hooope hope hope :)
Ooooh PSP ha! Then I can show off to all those people who think they are so great with their DS's (notice some jealousy there) and a alienware laptop *drools* I mean with one of those babys world domination would be one step closer

RE: Contest Rules and Prizes by Hurricane on 03-25-2005 at 05:07 PM

hmmm don't like hoping :D getting overstressed then
whatever I guess there is no other solution
(maybe a relationship with the Plus!-babe would help me get some steps closer :D)
