First Contest winner :D:D by Yousef on 03-24-2005 at 07:33 PM

whaaaaa,
hey people, when I saw a few minutes ago Fraisie added me to MSN my heart began to beat a little faster....

A little while later, I heard I'm the winner of the first PSP :D:D(H):o)

I've been an active member of the community since about august I guess, when I launched my website (MsgWeb) and started developing some plugins and applications.... Now I can see my work is being appreciated once more :d

Don't have much time now, 'cause I really need to go and have a party :D(B)

At last, I want to thank Patchou and Fraisie, Sony, and all the other people of the community!

We add people and check if they have a reference to Plus in their name as soon as they sign in, so they cant cheat.

RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Chestah on 03-25-2005 at 05:45 AM

lol did you go through many people that didn't have msgplus in their name?

I think you don't need msgplus! in your name to compete for the PSP, only for the laptop:
quote:
How are the winners chosen?
For the weekly PSP, everybody who has entered the contest participates automatically (check the section on your right to know how to get extra chances). However, contestants have to include "Messenger Plus!" in their Messenger display name in order to be eligible for the the Alienware laptop.

I'd say about one third of the people selected do not have a reference to Messenger Plus in their nick the first time they connect after I added them. Some realise what they just lost and change their nick real fast, but that's cheating and they don't become finalist :P
RE: First Contest winner :D:D by John Anderton on 03-25-2005 at 03:55 PM

I hope i win (A)
* John Anderton really needed the psp :(
Well so did so many others :dodgy: :P
Congrats :)
Hope u let me play with it sometime (A)


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by mad_onion on 03-25-2005 at 05:02 PM

oh wow well done it would be nice to win but i doubt it as 1000s have entered :(
so do we need MsgPlus! in our names to win the PSP's or just for the laptop?


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by lopardo on 03-25-2005 at 05:17 PM

Congratulations and enjoy your PSP :)

* lopardo wants the laptop :P


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Lee on 03-25-2005 at 07:35 PM

btw, is there a number of how man ppl subscribed the contest?


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Zephyr on 03-25-2005 at 08:38 PM

I feel really sorry for the people who didnt refer to Messenger plus in their names but i suppose that they cant really have taken that seriously or they would have put it in their names instantly.

btw congratulations on winning the PSP, id love to have that - theres still more weeks of hope to come though

You get a referral ID when you register for the contest... that number is how many people subscribed at that moment (you being the last).

But no, there isn't a complete list.
RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Fraisie on 03-25-2005 at 11:00 PM

Wow, 1/3?  That's about 3,000 people that never added the "MsgPlus" in their MSN.  It sure pays to read the directions carefully, right Juzzi?  Congrats on winning that PSP! :)
RE: First Contest winner :D:D by mwe99 on 03-25-2005 at 11:10 PM

Well, as I said that MsgPlus is only for the laptop, it has nothing to do with the PSP. Thanks anyway :p
RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Y2Pdogg on 03-26-2005 at 12:09 AM

It was answered like 3 times in this thread, and it is explained correctly in the website: the MsgPlus! in your nickname is only for the laptop.
RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Dempsey on 03-26-2005 at 11:58 PM

hmmm, if the winners can tell by Fraisie adding them to her contact list, what happens if we already her Fraise on our lists?

And does it have to be MsgPlus or Messenger Plus! ?? cos i have Plus!  does that count?

I use a separate account for the contest :) Any reference to Plus does the job :)

RE: First Contest winner :D:D by saudz on 03-27-2005 at 02:38 PM

hi.. just wondering.. does the word "Msg Plus or Messenger Plus" have to be in the nickname or can it be in the Personal Message..? :).. thanx


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Fraisie on 03-27-2005 at 02:39 PM

It is highly recommended to have Plus in your nickname.


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Guido on 03-27-2005 at 03:56 PM

Considering that there isn't a public version of MSN Messenger with personal messages support, you'll want to have it in your nickname

Congratulations!! have fun with YOUR PSP(Y)


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by EzerchE on 03-28-2005 at 12:20 AM

hi everyone,

i been added from a "...@patchou" mail address today.and i add he too  but still he is offline.i didnt have a "plus!" in my nicknmae, is that necessary?:( i add it now.

whats mean that?

thx...


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by paperless on 03-28-2005 at 12:36 AM

Hey man you are really lucky!..I hope i could win one also...


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Pinchichuv on 03-28-2005 at 12:38 AM

i think he didt win cause he didnt have Messenger Plus in his nickname


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by EzerchE on 03-28-2005 at 12:49 AM

oh i checked the rules before but i didnt see,
i see that nickname stuff now:(

i am really hard working in Turkey to win.

i hope i will be forgiven for that, i added it just now:(


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by Fraisie on 03-28-2005 at 01:56 AM

Ok, so here is the way it works:

We randomly select MSN passports from the database. I add them in a separate account, not the one I use for myself normally.  I immediatly block the people as soon as I add them, and I wait for them to come online. If they don't have a reference to Messenger Plus! in their nickname, I don't unblock them, and move them to a separate group.  If they do have a reference to Plus!, I unblock them, tell them that they are finalist and put them in a different group too.

If I added you and you still see me offline, it is probably because you didnt have a reference to Plus in your nickname, therefore you don't qualify to win the Alienware Laptop. However, you can still win a PSP.

You can delete me off your list,  if you are a finalist or not.


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by EzerchE on 03-28-2005 at 02:05 AM

:'( i didnt know


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by paperless on 03-28-2005 at 02:09 AM

So i cant be a winner anymore because all people to choose between to win a PSP have already been foundand you will choose randomly 7 of them?

[Edit]: So all the possible winners of the PSPs are already added in your list Fraisie?


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by L. Coyote on 03-28-2005 at 02:10 AM

So, just a dumb question: can someone win the laptop and a PSP? :p

No, she adds the 5-random-people for the laptop.

The PSPs are just 1 person (per PSP :wink:). And they have 7 days to be online at the same time she is, if I understood correctly. *-)


RE: First Contest winner :D:D by MC.POP on 03-28-2005 at 03:32 AM

I think we have covered everything that needs to be asked and said about the contest. Please read http://www.msgplus.net/contest.php thoroughly (sp? thanks atownjoe) before asking any more questions.

Congrats once again to Juzzi, and good luck to all other contestants !
