Heya,

well, I must admit, the last 24 hours kept me pretty busy. I didn’t think I would post again so soon but the initial response to the contest has simply be amazing: more than 9 million clicks were made on the game grid for the first day of the contest. In that time, some bugs were fixed and some adjustments have been made to the servers to support the wave of people connecting each and every minute. For those of you who got/get error messages while playing, I must point out that this does not mean in any way that you won something, it just means that the server had a glitch and that your click did not go through, that’s all (sorry ).

And to top all that, I had a pretty nice surprise this afternoon: one of the server scripts had a glitch which was introduced during the beta-testing days of the contest which allowed people to win the prizes of given locations over and over again. I won’t give the exact numbers but let’s say that not only one XBox 360 Elite and 13 shirts have been won since yesterday. After thinking about it over and over again, I came to the conclusion that none of you should have to be disappointed because of my mistakes so I’ll honour the prizes of all the winners that were made during that period. Every validated winner will receive an email soon asking again for his/her full address (as asked on the wining form) to make sure the database kept valid entries for everybody.

Now that this glitch has been fixed, we’re back on track for the week with 30 prizes left until next Saturday (at the time of writing). Once again, good luck to all of you and enjoy those lucky bonus XBox prizes!
