Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Patchou on 06-20-2007 at 06:41 PM

Hey folks,

I just noticed that there is still a Nintendo Wii to win in the contest. The last guy who won it cheated so it's back in the game. You have until tomorrow to find it.

As a way to thank all the regular members of this forum, I thought I could give you a hint for this one, it's a once in a life time opportunity so if you want to win this thing, you'd better try your luck before the prize is either found or changes coordinates tomorrow (which will be the beginning of the last week of the contest).

Tip of the week: the Nintendo Wii is located in the biggest black male shirt displayed in the game grid. If you find it, be sure to make a post about it. It's probably the first time that being a regular member of this forum gets you something else than an extra star below your name ;).

Have fun,
Patch

RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Oxy on 06-20-2007 at 06:47 PM

Awesome...
But which is the biggest shirt? :(


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nathan on 06-20-2007 at 06:48 PM

Awww patchou :(
school blocks me connecting to the game :(
And I M BOARDING OVER THE WEEKEND SO i CANT GO HOME :'(


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by rix on 06-20-2007 at 06:54 PM

So sweet... really. And it's not difficult to name the biggest shirt. (H)

Is this a secret revealed only to the members of this forum and not to anyone else?

RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Eljay on 06-20-2007 at 07:27 PM

* Eljay demands more clues! :P 8-)


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by joey on 06-20-2007 at 07:27 PM

wouldn't that just ruin the aim of the game? 8-) =p


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-20-2007 at 07:27 PM

ok, lets find it :D


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by absorbation on 06-20-2007 at 07:31 PM

Patchou gave us hints during testing where the test prises were, no one found them :P.


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by joey on 06-20-2007 at 07:37 PM

conspiracy: how do we know he's not just lying so he keeps the Wii for himself....?^o)

He doesn't need to, Patchou creates a huge log of all our credit details ;).

Where did you think these prizes were coming out of? :-/
* John Anderton feels bad about all that "missing" money :sad:

Btw, how do we find out if the prize isn't gone already? :<
Patchy should tell us the co-ords of a shirt. We didn't win during the test either. Not fair :sad:
* John Anderton wants a Plus! tee to promote Plus! here :cry:
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by vaccination on 06-20-2007 at 08:13 PM

Not true, most prizes were found during beta testing.

I have one and I'm happy with it, probably the most entertaining video game console I've ever owned.

Obviously. Every time I need a new car, I organize a new contest.

If a forum member finds it, he'll probably post about it and in any case, I'll be there to confirm (or post a reply to this thread myself if somebody else wins).

No problem mate, if you find the Wii, I'll be happy to exchange it from a shinny new mousepad :p
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Voldemort on 06-20-2007 at 08:27 PM

I'd like to have another beta-tester only week :p


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Chrono on 06-20-2007 at 08:28 PM

i want a new wii, i think pitcho should give one away for every member of the staff *winks**winks**winks**winks*


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by S92 on 06-20-2007 at 08:39 PM

My map-thing just changed to some rabbits with guns and stuff instead of the map with all the prizes on lol.

Strange.

Congratulations, you've hit point 6,421!
(It's the easter egg in the competition - no, there's no price for finding it)
If you don't like it, simply close and re-open, or click 6,421 once more. ;)
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by S92 on 06-20-2007 at 08:44 PM

Cool :D. I prefer the other map though :P.

RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Menthix on 06-20-2007 at 11:06 PM

Oh come on, 4 shirts roughly the same size, that's still a huge amount of pixels :(. Finding something in the flames of the candles was already hard during beta testing... at least tell us which shirt :P.

Where is this thing?!? Patchax :sad:
Maybe patch is changing the co-ords within the specified area every no and again :< (j/k If he did that, it would be evil. Patch is not evil. Thus this is not happening :P)
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by ShawnZ on 06-21-2007 at 06:58 AM

were the coords changed yet?


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Speed Dragon on 06-21-2007 at 09:13 AM

Already anybody win the Wii ? Miss one prize ... 5 Left ...


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 12:59 PM

Wich black male shirt? :P

RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Speed Dragon on 06-21-2007 at 01:13 PM

Oh yeah, you are right (a)

So i'm clicking at the right shirt :P
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Sonic on 06-21-2007 at 01:32 PM

Is the Wii still there?


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 01:36 PM

I think so, if the wii isnt there i'm sure that Patchou already have noticed us :)


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 01:56 PM

damn!
so lucky to be reading this.
there's still a prize AND we know it's general location?
damn big shirt! xD
(also hoping the the lower one is the right one)


(and also hoping he's not fooling us >_<)
it's about 50 pixels wide and 100 pixels long,
that's about 5k pixels >_<
you can get about 600~400 in an hour, that's erm.. 8 hours

he posted well more then 8 hours ago :P
RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 02:06 PM

sure, but it's not that easy to be clicking 8 hours straight,
plus, it's probably more like 12.5 hours.
in any case, that still doesn't means you 100% win.


indeed, it seems to be the lower one.
male: http://www.cafepress.com/msgpluslive.52183219
female: http://www.cafepress.com/msgpluslive.116376891

that is, hoping it hasn't been found by anyone outside the forums . . .


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 02:53 PM

The coordenates already have changed? :P


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 02:57 PM

what do you mean?


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 03:04 PM

RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Menthix on 06-21-2007 at 03:14 PM

Coordinates wont be changed until the new prizes arrive (with Patchou posting the heatmap from last week and all)


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 03:18 PM

Yeah, and it will happen today i presume :P


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 03:32 PM

mmm could be.
plus, there have been 2 prizes won during the night, the Wii might be one of them :S


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 03:49 PM

I second that, add a mouse :D
maybe a living one.


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Speed Dragon on 06-21-2007 at 03:49 PM

Nefzen, probably ... i click abount 6 hour and nothing ...


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 03:57 PM

I dont think, if the Wii have been won, Patchou would said.


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nefzen on 06-21-2007 at 04:01 PM

hmm, but there is the possibility that Patchou was asleep (and still sleeping) when the Wii was won =/
a great lot of people have been playing in that shirt for a long period of time....
maybe it's at the border or something?


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Patchou on 06-21-2007 at 06:08 PM

The Nintendo Wii has been found, by an Italian :).

The good news for all of you is: the guy did not specify his address. If I don't hear from him in the next couple of days, the Nintendo Wii will be back in the game, one again, and I'll give you another hint on the forum :).


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CypherFW on 06-21-2007 at 06:13 PM

Humm, and i have been trying all the day, rofl :(

Thanks patchou :D


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by absorbation on 06-21-2007 at 08:00 PM

I could certainly do with a spare Nintendo Wii, my one is looking lonely :P.

If I did win it, I would probably give it away to a forum member, but it would involve becoming my slave (a). Hey, but it's worth it to play Twilight Princess.


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by CookieRevised on 06-21-2007 at 08:04 PM

Damn, clicking 2 hours for nothing.....

* CookieRevised also doesn't understand people not filling in the form... I mean, like, hu?


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Nathan on 06-21-2007 at 08:39 PM

:rofl:
I agree :P, It's like yeah I won - I will leave out my details cos I cba at the moment.


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Speed Dragon on 06-21-2007 at 11:38 PM

In GMT time ... when i gone to sleep (5:00) was 6 prize left, and when i arrive (10:00) was 5 prize left.

10:30 (+/-) was 4 prize left until now ...


RE: Who wants a Nintendo Wii? by Rolando on 06-22-2007 at 01:24 AM
