No shirt, and mouse pad. But I need help soon. On the matter.

What do you mean it wont let you past? What happens when you press the submit button? Note that it is possible that you need to wait a while before all the info is send though.

Anyways, if it fails again, mail Patchou directly with all the info:
- your Windows Live ID you used
- the model and color of the tshirt
- the size of the tshirt

mail that to contest[at]patchou.com

  I tried emailing Patchou, and contest@patchou.com, but I got a automatic message.

"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification."

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

       contest@patchou.com

  Is that the correct email for him?  Or did I get it wrong?

I am tired of clickin' =(
And I'm getting paranoid! When I see a green "Nothing there", i get happy for a split second "yay i won something!" But then i realize the truth and it really saddens me... xD

still, this is a great event, and almost everyone in my contact list asks me "you got a virus? there's a website in your nick you know?" .. xD

  I tried clickining for the last week.  Now that I finally win something It just won't work..  It sad..  D:  I feel your pain ploft.

   When I press summit I don't get any confirmation, or anything nothing happens.  I made sure I selected the size, and type shirt.  Then I clicked summit again, then nothing happens.  So yeah...  That's my problem. 

Sorry for double posting I'll be leaving for a few hours.  But if Patchou can contact me via email later that would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks alot I'll be only be gone for 3 hours or so.

Edit..  Well I'll be on tonight.  The movie will be awhile.

w00t! nearly 2 million players

Note in case people would wonder: one of the people here who said won a shirt and didn't see the final page was indeed properly registered (it's just that the confirmation page itself did not seem to display to him for some reason but it did not matter in the end) and the other was suspected of cheating so he was disqualified.

I've fixed the typo in the news, I meant "Mug" in the last prize description.

I guessed, a mug costs much more than a simple mousepad, doesn't it?

nope, it's just more annoying to package and I'm sure most people prefer mousepads anyway.

  Wooo I just my confirmation.  Thank you. Patchou.   I'm soo happy I never win anything.  WOooooooooooooooooooo!

I'd prefer a Mug I enjoy a study break with some nice hot tea, or hot chocolat..

It would be nice if there was a chat inside the contest window!

(not really, 1553 players atm, seen 2000..) :/

=( ..I would be happy with a t.shirt..

=P kudos to you all!

you can always join the Plus! IRC network (server: irc.msgplus.net, port: 6667) and join channel #contest. Or simply click on the IRC link on top of these forums if you don't have a IRC client like mIRC.....

---

Chat wouldn't be a good idea, because this contest is an international thing. If chat language was English, then too many people would feel neglected.

If there were seperate rooms with different languages and we joined automatically to the one whose language is the language we have selected for Messenger Plus!, hmm, then chat would be a good idea.

It'd be pointless to implement chat, just for the last week of the contest. Among the other reasons not to do it.

lol hello msgplus forum veterans

i'm not a new user to msgplus though i'm a new user to the forum and i have to confest that the only reason i'm here is because i'm keeping track of the contest details lol. and yes, i do have the irc webchat window open too

just wanna say that it's been entertaining to watch you guys debate about this seemingly non-existent issue about the "chat inside the contest window" or whatever it is. it really served as entertainment while i'm clicking away on the Wii lol.

and yes i'm wondering... why do we need this debate when there's a perfectly good irc webchat??

lol anyways, nice to meet all of you

hi i'm new member in the forum .. but an old user for msgplus

i'm juss wondering if anyone in the forum won anything except the t-shirts

yes there have been winnings.
I've won the LCD (though I haven't received it yet)

+ other threads.

couldnt they make the image bigger the odds of getting a prize are roughly 1 in 9211 its gotta be a miracle !

why would making the image bigger would help and how did you deduce that chance?

GOD!! .. maybe more then 5000 +/- clicks per day .. and i can't win ..
some 5 clicks .. and win

my luck is soo bad .. even if i win .. the elctricity will shutdown it self. .. lol

so theres 31 items left, anyone know what they are or just patchou??
i hope xbox is still there, only thing im playin for

Only Patchou knows exactly what prizes are left. I'm sure if they are not found, he'll give us hints as to what is left .

maybe on the last day

onyl if there's prizes left i think he might. =p

no!
not now >.<
I have a lot of studies related things to do until Thursday's afternoon (which will be around the night between Wednesday and Thursday in Canadian time zone) >.<
a tip so soon would be troublesome.

Several big prizes are left, that's all I'm gonna say

rofl, just to tempt people to keep clicking!

dont stop!

i guess if he give us .. we will not take it .. coz our luck is soo bad

Hello, i'm an user from Montevideo, Uruguay and, like lots of people, i'm totally hooked with the anniversary game. But something weird happenned to me: Today 25th June 2007 at 17:18 (Uruguay time) there were 27 prizes left when i clicked on a spot. Instantly, the window showed a message saying: "the page cannot be showed" (I don't know how it is written in english, but it's the message it appears when you try to enter to a page with no internet connection on your computer), and my session shut down. When i started session 10 seconds later and i opened the game window again, i found (not with big surprise) that there were 26 prizes left... i can't stop thinking that was my prize and something strange happened... with all respect, i don't give a damn if it is a mug or a t-shirt... but what if it is a nintendo wii or a playstation 3 or the LCD?

Please, someone confort me and tell me it is just a coincidence... my msn is mauromas89 <at> hotmail <dot> com, i'd like a response from a moderator if possible... thanks

PD: i'm sorry for my bad english

Oh, and by the way, i clicked near the wii controller over the big plus sign and below the lcd... if you divide the screen in 4, the top left corner... thanks

First tip: never ever post your email address in public unless you want a massive amount of spam in your mailbox (this wont happen at once, but over a longer period of time this email address will be picked up by a lot of spam bots) PS: and don't double post though. Instead edit your last post


Anyways,

It could well have been pure coïncidence.

Nevertheless, if it was really you who clicked on a winning pixel and it was registered (and it was registered because the server returned "26 prizes left", if the connection died before that the server wouldn't returned "26" but "27") then Patchou can check the logs for your Windows Live ID and you still would recieve your prize.

For this, you must do what is explained in the rules/help pages on the contest window: Send an email to contest [at] msgpluslive.net and explain the situation (in English)....

good luck

Thanks man... if it was a coincidence or if it is a mug or a t-shirt i'll start saving to buy the ps3 or the wii... like everyone else

mauromas89: If you have problems writting that email in english, feel free to visit us at the official spanish forums and we'll be glad to help you with your issue

spanish: Si tienes problemas al escribir ese email en inglés, pásate por los foros hispanos (http://foro.msgpluslive.es) y estaremos encantados de ayudarte y hacer de intermediarios

read subject.

edit: i'm asking on the forum because i can't get into the IRC chat.




thank you.

Yes, see Patchou's reply to 3rd Contest Week is over - More prizes are here!. There have been loads of topics like this already .

Moderator Edit: Threads merged.

Now that my exams are over, I should probably click more often.
I hope to win something before the contest ends.

I can't believe I'm this unlucky, I've been clicking away for the past three days, and I mean continuously for 6-7 hours per day, or more..
and still not even a t-shirt.
I've been wanting a 360 so bad, that when I heard of this competition, I took it as a sign, ha ha.
Please tell me if there's at least any consoles left, I guess in a weird way I would feel better knowing it..
Or not....
This is so difficult...
I even took tedious measures and went once in a straight line down through all the 750 points in one row. that was stressful
Agh... damn luck!!

do keep in mind that way more than 99% of the players won't win.
fact.

ya this happened to me too ..  maybe I won too .. i wonder if patchu knows ..waiting for his replay ...

whyyyyyyy?

oO
the competition ends tomorrow!
I thought it was going to last until the end of the month
what would happen for the remaining prizes?

Don't worry, if somebody wins and does not enter his address, he is still contacted about it. So if you got an error page and did not receive anything, well, you just didn't win anything.

that's somewhat easing.
and somewhat annoying
oh well, I got my share =D
hoping to play again next year.
and we can all go back to our normal lives.
(expect those who are training for the international MSN Plus anniversary Olympics, which will take course at 20122308 )

so, the question remains, what happens to the prizes that remain after the contest is over?
