Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Patchou on 04-18-2005 at 11:49 PM

Hey everyone!

The Alienware laptop for the contest has finally arrived at my office, I configured it personally and it's now ready to be shipped to the future winner! Many people were disappointed last year when the photos of the now well known Messenger Plus! Babe were removed from msgplus.net... if you were one of those people or if you just don't know what I'm talking about, be happy, she's back! We organized a special photo-shoot this weekend for the laptop so whether you want to see the Plus! Babe or one of the most powerful laptops available on the market today, check out the new photo-gallery!

We're already in the middle of April, spring is here and the contest has only 2 weeks left to go. Many people have already been registered as finalists for the laptop, however, I thought it was unfair for those of you who had "Messenger Plus! in their name for a month not to be selected at all. This is why I added an extra rule to the contest. Starting now, anybody who has "Messenger Plus!" or "MsgPlus!" is his name or personal message can send an email to mplus_contest@patchou.com with a screenshot of his contact list (where his name or personal message is clearly visible). Out of all the emails received, 100 people will be selected at random to participate to the final draw. When the winner of the laptop will have been picked from the finalists pool, his name/personal message will be verified and validated online (without prior warning so if you remove Plus! from your name, you lose :p). Thanks to that new rule, every Messenger Plus! supporter now has a an additional chance to win the laptop in May so be sure not to pass out on this incredible occasion!

I wish you all good luck for the contest, have fun and enjoy the photos :).
Patchou

PS: some extra pics will probably soon be posted on mess.be.

w00t! I finally get a chance to get the pimpin' laptop! I probably won't win, but... dammit, I can try! :D

* Caboose goes to email o.o


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 04-19-2005 at 12:55 AM

Am i still able to win the Laptop? :P


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by marissa on 04-19-2005 at 04:03 AM

wow...just imagine if that lap top fell in the bath! :| (U) that would suck major...you know what.

pshh...Plus! guy! Patchou in the bath tub...hm...haha i kid, i kid.


i have a chance of winning the lappy now :D, that was a good idea...but atleast people got informed about Plus! with all of us with it in our names. I even heard people talking about it at school a few times  :)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by MeEtc on 04-19-2005 at 04:10 AM

If you look close enough, the laptop by the tub is not the Alienware, it doesn't have the Plus! sticker by the keyboard

No, no, the laptop by the bath is the Alienware, we just removed the sticker :)
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Jolo on 04-19-2005 at 05:22 AM

A question:

The people that already had been selected as finalists (by the original method) doesn't need to send any mail with a SS; they are already finalists, but they must keep the "MsgPlus!" tag in their nickname. That's right?

Greetings.

P.D.: Sorry for my english! (Post edited and fixed!)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by *Saint* on 04-19-2005 at 05:50 AM

If your already a finalist you dont need to email im sure and yes you have to ahve that MSGPlus! in your name


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Weyzza on 04-19-2005 at 05:59 AM

* Weyzza drools over the laptop.

Thanks for the new rule.
Finally, a chance to win it although I know I suck at sweepstakes :p

* Weyzza sends the email :)

When is the deadline to send the email or of people being randomly picked?
I couldn't find it the contest page.

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Patchou on 04-19-2005 at 02:12 PM

Shezi: nope, don't worry, you're already registered as a finalist :). As for PSP winners, they can participate for the laptop too of course.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 04-19-2005 at 02:38 PM

So am i already in the draw for the laptop.....or do I have to do this screen shot send thing? lol :)

if you were already chosen as a finalist you dont need to send a picture:P
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 04-19-2005 at 02:53 PM

yeah but is winning a PSP the same as being a laptop finalist as well :P


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Patchou on 04-19-2005 at 02:55 PM

Winning a PSP doesn't qualify you automatically for the laptop so you need to send the email yes :). Note that 5 people are still picked at random everyday to be qualified too, the new rule is an extra, not a replacement :).


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Smethead on 04-19-2005 at 05:44 PM

Ah, I thought it was a replacment. I was already selected and now I've send the e-mail. I hope that doesn't count as cheating. I didn't know that people who were selected by the random thingy kept their chance to win.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by riahc4 on 04-19-2005 at 07:18 PM

Just to make it clear ( Im still a bit confused :-( )

A few weeks ago Fraise added me and told me that I was in the drawing for the laptop. Can I remove "Plus!" from my name now or must I keep it?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Vaitork on 04-19-2005 at 07:49 PM

Done since some hours ago :) it's great to give it an opportunity to more and more people..

How much people have a chance to get the laptop at the end of April? Like 330? According to my calculations it was something like 230 before this new method, plus these new 100 people.. out of.. 80.000 people? :D hahaha, consider yourself a winner if you got picked in the first place!

((Patch, did you get my PM?))


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Patchou on 04-19-2005 at 08:00 PM

If you want to win the laptop, you shouldn't remove Plus! from your name before the final draw, wether you were previously picked at random or you sent an email. If you are pre-selected, you get about 1 chance over 300 to win the laptop which is incredibly good considering that in the end of the contest, about 100,000 people will have participated :).

PS: send me emails, not PMs, I'm sorry, I just have too many of those :).

It is still better than 0,00001% chance to win it ;) (1/100000)
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Fredzz on 04-20-2005 at 07:42 PM

well someone has to win the laptop! it could be anyone :D


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by ijakings on 04-20-2005 at 08:50 PM

this is a great idea. i only heard of the competition last night, was on holiday for a month. i sent my email away. wish id heard of it before tbh. when do you know if you have been selected randomly though the email?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by rompom7 on 04-21-2005 at 03:54 AM

I have sent an email with a screenshot.

I was just wondering, what if I am not online when and my name gets picked... Do you just select someone else or do you wait? (cause I live in Australia, with a big timezone difference)

Also while I am at school it won't allow me to install Messenger Plus! but I still like to use MSN Messenger (with the MsgPlus! still in my nickname of course) So does that affect whether I am going to get picked?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by ijakings on 04-21-2005 at 12:01 PM

the chance that you will be preselected now if you havent been already is very slim. there will be (by what i can make out) about 45 more people will be picked on msn messenger and 100 through the email method. Id cross your fingers but dont get ur hopes up tbh.

When will the last psp be selected?

and when will we know if we have been selected throught the email method?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Jedimark on 04-21-2005 at 12:13 PM

Oh this laptop is sweet, trust me.. I have one:

Well there are 2 PSPs left (juding there were only 4 email addresses on the email fraisie sent me) and one of them would have being awarded today (being thursday). So really only one PSP left to win, and of course the Laptop :)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Idium on 04-21-2005 at 01:32 PM

This makes me think.. Is there going to be a final list of ALL of the selected finalists posted somewhere? If it's not then please reconsider this. Ask for nicks or something, I dunno.. What do you think?

No, you had much more chances from that. It's just you still didn't get selected, other people did. That's how contests work. This e-mail second chance is a new way Patchou added for people to enter the final draw, but it wasn't the only way of winning it.

right under that, in the second paragraph of the terms you are quoting:
quote:
The PSP prizes consist of one Sony PSP Value Pack set (console + accessories). The exact content of the package is not guaranteed and may change at the sole discretion of Sony Canada. A brand new PSP Value Pack will be given out every week between March 16th and April 27th 2005. The contest will end with one final draw on May 2nd 2005 for a brand-new Alienware Area-51m 7700. Only specially selected participants having "Messenger Plus!" or "Msgplus!" included in their MSN Messenger display name or personal message at a specific (and undisclosed) time will participate to the final draw.
Installing Messenger Plus! gives you one chance for each draw for the PSP. The laptop draw is a special final prize, which has fewer contestants taken randomly from the other database and (now, to give more chances) from this new e-mail method.
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Beamer on 04-28-2005 at 09:36 AM

Cool! I've been using Msg+ for a long time now and I really want to win the laptop!

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Fraisie on 04-30-2005 at 02:36 PM

We have more than 100 000 contestants right now. Depending on how many people used your refferer link to download Messenger Plus, you have more chances of winning.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by scott_259 on 05-01-2005 at 12:50 AM

Well for me there about 0.01% chance of me wining, but thats because of my lack of luck all together.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-01-2005 at 02:21 AM

Well tommorow is the big day!

i also want one of those :P (does she come with the psp? :drool: )

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Fraisie on 05-01-2005 at 03:25 PM

When I read the message, tomorrow was may 1st :P

It should have been may 2nd but Patchou didnt think that he'd still be in Japan at that time, it will probably be given may 5th in that case


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-01-2005 at 03:29 PM

ooo i suppose thats okay then.

When you think the PSPs will be sent out? have you recieved them? :)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Vaitork on 05-01-2005 at 03:57 PM

Has Venezuela won anything in the internet community? Come on!! Aussies get everything all the time 8D

There are at least 2 venezuelans in the final pot. That's a good chance for the Alienware to land in here ^^

Aaaaaand tomorrow is the big day!! (or May 5th, wathever). Good luck everyone!


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by scott_259 on 05-01-2005 at 08:49 PM

Argh May 5th Come On! We're already dying of anticipation! lol. Not all Aussies get everything


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Ignis on 05-01-2005 at 09:30 PM

i'm one of the choosen ones without doing the new rules thing.

i'm really excited about the contest... man it would be SO very awesome to win

i wasn't sure that i could be elected since i use msn messenger with a yahoo account and sometimes people have problems adding me but when i went online and saw fraisie connected i almost fainted!

You can use messenger with any account as long as you register it as a .NET Passport.

but for some reason some i have to add some contacts two times so they can see me online or viceversa. An others work like a charm when they add me for the first time.

I think the problem is when i add people and not when i'm added

how much time left until the contest?
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by ijakings on 05-02-2005 at 11:34 AM

when will we know if we have been selected via the email method. only 3 days until the drawing


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-02-2005 at 11:36 AM

I dont think there is much point of them telling who were selected by that method. Just do the draw, in the end its only the winner we are looking for.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by ijakings on 05-02-2005 at 05:16 PM

yes but it would be nice to know if you got in via that method rather than sitting round wondering if we got into it at all


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by scott_259 on 05-03-2005 at 05:54 AM

Yes i agree, but i guess we will just have to wait a few days more. All well i know i didn't win, but never know


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Chestah on 05-03-2005 at 06:17 AM

Goodluck everyone :)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by philippecr on 05-03-2005 at 11:15 AM

good luck to me and everybody >.<


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Vaitork on 05-03-2005 at 01:08 PM

Indeed, good luck everybody :D


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by bazzo9 on 05-03-2005 at 02:45 PM

i really want that laptop
I would be :| if i dont win

I have 1% chance :P


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-03-2005 at 03:00 PM

1%? wow thats actually quite high :P

*me will give up my psp if i win laptop.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by bazzo9 on 05-03-2005 at 03:01 PM

yes 1% 1 out of 100


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-03-2005 at 03:02 PM

but there are 300 finalists?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by bazzo9 on 05-03-2005 at 03:05 PM

Out of all the emails received, 100 people will be selected at random to participate to the final draw. When the winner of the laptop will have been picked from the finalists pool, his name/personal message will be verified and validated online (without prior warning so if you remove Plus! from your name, you lose ).

Why not?
Do other people have more chance?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Ignis on 05-03-2005 at 03:11 PM

the total number of finalist is 300. So you have 0.33% chances

anyway, you already won a psp... don't be selfish :P


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by bazzo9 on 05-03-2005 at 03:12 PM

:O

Thats so little!


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by bazzo9 on 05-03-2005 at 03:47 PM

I never win stuff
:(:(:(

i want a sony psp or a laptop


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by signalpirate on 05-03-2005 at 03:55 PM

yes <Deleted Member> cuz patchou is in japan right now .. the draw will most likely be ..( according to Fraisie ) on the 5th :D


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Ignis on 05-03-2005 at 03:59 PM

well, i haven't been contacted.

So:
A) I'm not the winner
B) The winner haven't be chosen yet
or
C) There's a winner but it's secret and have already be contacted

Anyway i won't quit my "messenger plus!" sufix on my nick until the laptop is oficially in the hands of the winner, just in case ;)

i woke up at 6 this moring coz i couldn sleep.. so nervous :S

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by philippecr on 05-03-2005 at 07:00 PM

the wait still not over >.< HOPE I GET IT >< URGH!!!!! I WAN THE LAPTOP!!!!!!


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by plastikaa on 05-03-2005 at 07:58 PM

By the way was/is there anyway to check that your email got recieved? ...such as a veriication email just to say "yes you have been entered into the original pool and your email was recieved" as i didnt recieve any and just wondered if msgplus got my email... dont want to miss a chance on winning laptop so i can use msn from my bedroom/livingroom/kitchen/hmmm even ... toilet? lol :)


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by princessfrozen on 05-03-2005 at 10:31 PM

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by -rafy- on 05-04-2005 at 12:51 AM

lmao i bet Fraisie is playing with our psps as we speak! :P


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Chestah on 05-04-2005 at 04:08 AM

Fraisie, for verification reasons after you've chosen the winner - how long will you wait for the user to come online to verify that they are abiding to the rules of the competition before picking someone else.

Eg, a person could be picked as the winner but to make sure they had msgplus! in their name you have to see when they are online - what if they don't come online for 2 days etc :P?


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by signalpirate on 05-04-2005 at 04:19 AM

the rules says 7 days....  " you have seven days"...  hmmmm "the ring" anyone ? :P LOL

Thanks for the congrats all!
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by slijkhuis on 05-04-2005 at 09:52 PM

but on the contest page it sais:

quote:
Each and every time someone downloads and installs Plus! by using your link, you get not one but two extra chances! these extra chances are valid for both the PSP prizes and the Alienware laptop

then i got all the refferals for nothing? just read it now, so i have no chance anymore? :( darn... i just watched the contest page for details... :(

*EDIT*

btw, if you already have been selected some weeks ago... you dont need to do this? or is it a Must for the laptop? :) (just asking) :P
RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Ignis on 05-04-2005 at 11:11 PM

i've been selected last week's monday and the only thing i had to do is keep my "messenger plus!" sufix on mi nick.

What makes you think that, each referrals that downloaded and installed Plus! by using you link made you get 2 more chances. You didn't win a PSP with those chances, but you could have. You can still win the laptop! Make sure you mail Patchou a screenshot i you aren't selected for the laptop yet (read first post in this topic), but do it fast (today), the winner will be picked very soon.

RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by MedinaSoft on 05-05-2005 at 05:47 PM

Hey everybody... Medinasoft here.. long time MsgPlus! supporter, first time publicly :P.. (i actually bought a t-shirt for my ex-gf back when the plus babe! was around the first time :)

I just want to say congrats for all those  those who won the PSP's and to the ones selected for the Laptop - i wasn't or haven't been selected (yn) yet - and i want to thank Patchou and the whole staff @ msgplus! who made all this happen.. (lol talking like its the end of it all) thx for the great program that is Messenger Plus! and for this contest which (and i repeat "i didn't get selected" :P) was so fun. For those of you who think this was a waste of time.. think of it this way... you are supporting a great program by getting the word across.. plus (tm?) not everybody can win :P...

again thanks to all who made this happen.. and a pre-congrats to the Laptop Winner (i hate you btw ;))

oh and i hope Fraisie is not eating the PSP's for some strange reason...
plz just play with them :P... 


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by ijakings on 05-05-2005 at 05:49 PM

the suspense is killing me ive entered about 5 competitions lately totalling about £6000 worth of prizes (if i won them all) lol.


RE: Pictures of the Laptop & Addition to Rules by Ignis on 05-05-2005 at 07:11 PM

i'm really worried coz sometimes when i'm added other people can't see me online until i add them again... and i haven't seen fraisie online again...

and i'm worried  coz if i win and can't be contacted i would SUICIDE... well, maybe not suicide, but you get the picture :S

And since the winner is also a Canadian, I suggest that Patchou (and the Plus! babe) delivers the laptop in person and takes some pics :D
