Contest, New Prizes and Video by Patchou on 07-19-2009 at 05:28 AM

Hey,

the first week of the 2009 Contest is finally over and more than 200 prizes have already been attributed. The people at Evolution Store and myself are now busy preparing the boxes that will be shipped to all the winners. Of course, the second week of the contest officially started tonight, with 290 prize packs hidden all over the game grid. You have no excuse for not finding at least one prize now! ;-).

While you play, make a pause of 50 seconds and watch this video that was made especially for the contest and the Fantasia Festival this year. It’s a little promotional video for your Messenger add-on.

Happy clicking!
Patchou

290 prizes in a grid 704x770 in size which would be (on an average considering there are no collisions) a prize in every 1869.24 clicks :P

Excuse enough?
Please don't kill me (A)

The video I have already seen a week or so ago. I loved it :)

Happy clicking people!

* ahmetgns started clicking.

Any heatmap patchou???


Around 500 clicks and I'm turning crazy.
It should have something to know where you have clicked before to avoid clicking in the same place twice.

Yeah Patch.. we had weekly heat maps last time :P
And I'm surprised Patch didn't add an easter egg this time :( (Either that or no one has found it yet, both of the cases being sad :P) In case there is an easter egg (special bg like last time) now would be a good time to give us hints. I tried all the usual suspects of co-ordinates and didn't come up with any thing :(

I was tempted to link to an image but wasn't in a mood to play around. Thought a straight up answer would be more appropriate :P

Ey I won finally when I was thinking to surrender.
The bad thing is that I don't know what I have won because you can only choose the category, not the figure. I wanted an art toy but couldnt choose that category. I'll continue playing to see if I can get one.
Keep trying people. Now I know It's not imposible

You can mail Patchou on contest2009@msgpluslive.net to tell him what you would prefer. Browse around on https://store.evolutionstore.ca/ to see what you like. Don't forget to include your messenger address and your home address in the mail so he can check if you're indeed one of the winners.

There's no guarantee you get the exact item you specified. Prizes have a value between 20 and 1500USD... as far as I understood the value of your prize is randomly picked at the end of the contest. And of course it depends if the item is in stock by the time prizes are send out.

RE: Contest, New Prizes and Video by Patchou on 07-19-2009 at 02:58 PM

I generated the heatmap, I'll post it on the site later on :). As for the easter egg, who said there was not any?... :p

As for individual click maps (not heat maps), they may be available in the end of the contest, not before that .
But if you clicked about half of the total clicks since the beginning of the contest, Patchou may generate your heat map also :D
RE: Contest, New Prizes and Video by luis-mml on 07-26-2009 at 02:11 PM

So in case there was one, did anyone find the easter egg??
And I think it will be necesary another week to find the 14 prizes left. Maybe Patchou will have to modify the contest schedule. (':S')
