[hazmat95]

Do we have to answer evey contest question in #1?

[hirschy75]

Do we have to answer evey contest question in #1?

Yes, there's only 5 and it's a huge game. Is there one you have a problem with?

[greenhornet9]

these are really hard!

[FilthyCanadian]

I've got the answers, but I live in Canada, so there'd be no sense of me even competing in this, any news on the actual release date?

[hirschy75]

these are really hard!

hahaah that's why you have until friday :)

[Vester]

sent gangsta pic >:l

[hirschy75]

I've got the answers, but I live in Canada, so there'd be no sense of me even competing in this, any news on the actual release date?

It should hopefully be soon because Apple is still reviewing

[hirschy75]

sent gangsta pic >:l

No pic yet but on the lookout for it

[DHrox]

Can I use Photoshop/GIMP?

[Vester]

Can I use Photoshop/GIMP?
i bet

[DHrox]

i bet

I sure hope so. I don't have a scanner for hand-drawn images.

[SuperPaperSam]

These questions are just crazzy!!! All i have so far is #1.

you should change it so we only have to answer 3 of the 5.

[hirschy75]

Can I use Photoshop/GIMP?

Sure, everything's fair game for art, just no copying

[TMAC34]

wait so does everyone that answers the questions right get a code?

[hirschy75]

These questions are just crazzy!!! All i have so far is #1.

you should change it so we only have to answer 3 of the 5.

Sorry, it would be to easy. Take your time and answer the questions correctly. The dev diaries are KEY

and so far three people have answered all questions

and i have one pic

[crimson.]

I made a short story. It's kinda long though. Hope you like it.

[hirschy75]

[raps27]

[DHrox]

Oohhhooohh, could I make a video? Pwetty pwease??? :)

[hirschy75]

wait so does everyone that answers the questions right get a code?

Noooo. Winners for that will be picked at random, hence the reason for two contests.

Good luck.

Sorry everyone, I'm going to be off and on for the rest of the night so i will try and answer all questions.

If i don't for a little while please be patient, thanks

[hirschy75]

Oohhhooohh, could I make a video? Pwetty pwease??? :)

If it can be emailed, or possibly put on youtube and you send us the link. Of course you will be asked a few questions to prove authenticity

[raps27]

[arono]

ok sent my answers
now i'll try to do something of the 4 things for contest 2

[indyraider4]

I sent in a poem i did kinda quickly. I hope it is okay. Also, will their be five drawn for each contest, and shouldn't the art one be based on skill (ie if it is really good they get a few put in the raffle instead of just one).

[No Hero]

yea is everyone entering submitted? (for contest #2)

Also it must be related right?

[Glowz]

I sent email through yahoo and I think I spelled Arcade wrong, in the rush of things.

[dmbfan1192]

How short is a short story exactly... 1 page? 5 pages?

[hirschy75]

Hey everyone back for a little

There will be 5 and 5. The art is based on skill, content, and creativity

[hirschy75]

How short is a short story exactly... 1 page? 5 pages?

Doesn't really matter but remember we have to read all these :)

[wsifka]

#2 was hard!
but i got them all :D
i think.

[dmbfan1192]

Will be submitting my entries momentarily; I really hope I win!

[Hatteras]

Hi guys,

Be sure to say where you saw this thread from.

Thanks for the entries, too, for everyone that has and will be submitting!

[dmbfan1192]

Hi guys,

I just said toucharcade with the link... is that ok?

[Hatteras]

I just said toucharcade with the link... is that ok?

That's fine, but sometimes it's kind of annoying when you don't know where they're getting it from.

[Haephestos]

The art will be judged rather than drawn out of a hat.

[darksoul]

when will the winner be announce?

[Paul@Tag]

Hey guys can I enter? :D

[dmbfan1192]

Hey guys can I enter? :D
You can if you pay me $5.99 first.

[hirschy75]

when will the winner be announce?

Most likely friday morning really early or in the morning on saturday.

Good Morning everyone :)

and no Paul you should have the game already lol

[No Hero]

Have u got my submissions?

[hirschy75]

Have u got my submissions?

Yes, a fair amount for not even a day so far

[bambin0]

Sent you for contest #1
Did you get it?

I really hope I win this contest. If not, I was going to buy it anyways

[Glowz]

Yes, a fair amount for not even a day so far

Didnt you say more than two submissions results in disqualification?

[yourofl10]

Hey guys can I enter? :D

lol.

I'm sure you will ace it.

[crimson.]

Didnt you say more than two submissions results in disqualification?
I'm pretty sure he meant overall.

[hirschy75]

Didnt you say more than two submissions results in disqualification?

Yes if you enter the contest more than once you will be DQ'd but you can send us the answers to the questions and send us an artwork as well...

In other words you can send us answers to both contests but you can't submit multiple entries to give yourself a better chance at winning

Good luck everyone

[Rocketman919]

Sent mine. Anyone know the answer for five? I couldnt really find one. Oh well, hope my guess was right.

Attached is my drawing for the second contest. Leave some feedback if you want.

[Haephestos]

That's very cool!
Guys, please stop asking for answers, we cannot tell you! :D

[hirschy75]

That's very cool!
Guys, please stop asking for answers, we cannot tell you! :D

Yes listen to Haephestos,

Also please don't pm me the answers, i can't help you if you pm them to me and you will not be entered in the contest.

[Haephestos]

Also, can people please stop putting things along the lines of 'I hope I win' in the emails, because that get very boring very fast, and it will not sway our decision.

[dmbfan1192]

Is the contest over or did you really mean Saturday at 12AM? It's pretty quiet for a promo thread of one of the most anticipated games of the year on the day the contest ended... hmm

[Haephestos]

We have to have time to judge the art, and also to create the random draw for the questions.

[hirschy75]

Is the contest over or did you really mean Saturday at 12AM? It's pretty quiet for a promo thread of one of the most anticipated games of the year on the day the contest ended... hmm

No today is the last day, it closes at 12 PM tonight, one day left folks...

[Vester]

No today is the last day, it closes at 12 PM tonight, one day left folks...
night is AM right?

[hirschy75]

night is AM right?

uhhh sure... lol confusing

Saturday @ 12:01 it will end :)

[VIRAL]

E-mail sent :D (i used yahoo btw)
My art has nothing to do with car jacking or gangsters , and i hope thats ok :O cuz it didnt say anything about it.

hope i aint late ;o

and Just in case the attachment link doesnt work, i can always post it here on TA or via pm.

thanks!

[Haephestos]

You should be fine.
Technically, 12:00hrs and 00:00hrs are neither AM or PM. This is because AM means ante meridian (Before midday) and PM means post meridian (after midday). 12:00hrs is midday, this not AM or PM. The same goes for 00:00hrs, as it is equal in distance from midday on both sides. Thus, for the same reason, we cannot classify it as AM or PM.

@Hirschy75: Sorry for the huge thread-jack :D

[Rocketman919]

but for the record it is 12 AM.

[iKoda]

So... Canadians can't use promo codes?

Usually when I see a Promo Code giveaway, I usually don't enter.
But For this I want to...

[iKoda]

E-mail sent :D (i used yahoo btw)

Ha ha nice.
But I think it was common sense it should be some how in the same genre.

[Rocketman919]

Ha ha nice.
But I think it was common sense it should be some how in the same genre.

ha, yeah. Thats like if there was a contest for that gummibear game and you drew some guy cutting the head off of one of them. Maybe i exaggerated, but you get my point.

[Rocketman919]

Is the contest over or did you really mean Saturday at 12AM? It's pretty quiet for a promo thread of one of the most anticipated games of the year on the day the contest ended... hmm

probably because they only entered contest 1 and for that you dont post anything. Even for the second one you dont post anything, you e-mail it. I only posted because i wanted some feedback.

[hirschy75]

two hours left!!!! hurry :)

[dmbfan1192]

No I was just confused because technically 12:00 AM on Friday already happened... it's all cleared up now though :)

[hirschy75]

20 mins left......

[VIRAL]

Ha ha nice.
But I think it was common sense it should be some how in the same genre.

Errr.. i kinda did a self portrait (expressionism)

[STP_Tim]

[Vester]

OMG cant wait, im anxiously sitting at my computer resisting the urge to pee for this >:l

Edit:Finally Relived my blatter at 10:45 NM time

[VoodooVyper]

Hey I just remembered the contest closed recently. Will the results be out soon?

[TMAC34]

HOw will codes be given out if the game isn't out? Sheesh apple is taking a while reviewing it.

[Vester]

[TMAC34]

[VoodooVyper]

Ah, he never mentioned how many codes will be given out, or did he? It's not in the OP anyways.

[TMAC34]

Ah, he never mentioned how many codes will be given out, or did he? It's not in the OP anyways.

5 for each of the 2 contests I believe

[VoodooVyper]

Well, I'm guessing us in the US won't be seeing the results 'tonight' as it is currently 7 AM where the company is located (Dundee, UK).

[Haephestos]

No, we have 10 codes overall, but the comp is on multiple sites.

[Vester]

[ksl2006]

[No Hero]

[VoodooVyper]

lol gee I dunno. I'm guessing you'll get one only if you win, and this is a shot in the dark here, but it might say something like "congratulations, you win".

[STP_Tim]

So now that the contest is over can you tell us all of the answers? :)

[Vester]

[TMAC34]

im sure the devs are more concerned then you, please stop asking when they will be given out,

like someone already said you will most likely be notified by email rather then saying who won

and we have a lot of entries and Easter is just over now...give us some time

[The Bat Outta Hell]

Yeah seriously people quit harassing them. I believe they posted their competition in orther forums too, so that's a hell of a lot of people.

[STP_Tim]

For every person who complains the devs should have the game come out a day later :D

[Vester]

[hirschy75]

Thank you for understanding, we have about 7 or so sites and we are trying to distribute fairly but certain sites are trying to win more than others, mostly here :) so im not to sure if we are going to lean a certain way or not. Hopefully we will tell you friday for the release but im just wishing out loud, so far still in review and no selected release date or price yet so don't take my guess to serious lol. Im just helping out right now...street team represent hahaa

Oh i really have no idea, I'm just dealing with the promo codes and a few other things but i know about as much as you

Sorry I cant help you more than that

[hirschy75]

OK Here are the winners for contest 1:

email (if no username was given):
1. themonkeystolemybanana@... from AppCraver

2. luke.brown@... from TA

3. nonamemmvs@... from Slide to Play

usernames:
tmac34 from TA
voodoovyper from TA

Congratulations winners, you will receive emails either tonight or in the next few days depending on when they can send out the emails

Contest 2 will be up a little later... stay tuned

[STP_Tim]

Congrats to all of you!

Can you post the answers to Contest 1?

[hirschy75]

Sure...

1)80 minutes

2)liberty city map from the original GTA

3)Jim Mcleish

4)"Speechless" by Smudge

5)Paul had his baby

Those were the correct answers but we were very generous on 5 because it was mostly a trick question and those on here would know what we wanted :)

[Rocketman919]

for #5 was "because apple takes forever to approve games" a correct answer?

And how many people got it right? You randomly picked these five, right?

[hirschy75]

for #5 was "because apple takes forever to approve games" a correct answer?

And how many people got it right? You randomly picked these five, right?

Many people got this right, to many that I can't remember and yes these were picked randomly. Like we stated before we tried to give more codes to sites where more people responded from. Funny enough TA was the most so they will get a majority.

The people were at total random using a group email so no one person had overall control. We went through the list and stared 5...those were them

Contest 2 in a few...

Well according to the other thread they haven't received word yet of approval so no...this is strictly to announce winners

Trust me this has nothing to do with the release because I am just as anxious and in the dark as you

[indyraider4]

What time zone are you in? Its only 5 here. Lost isnt on for like 4 hours....

[Rocketman919]

Just wondering, what do the street team members do exactly? Is this it? Do you receive a promo code for doing it?

[STP_Tim]

What time zone are you in? Its only 5 here. Lost isnt on for like 4 hours....

Its almost 8 here, so Lost is on in an hour. ;)

New York? Or Florida?

[STP_Tim]

Yay, I won!!! I am rockrdudetim by the way (also rockrdudetim on STP forums). I am kinda surprised my submission won but maybe it was because there were not many submissions from STP for contest 2.

[STP_Tim]

New York? Or Florida?

I live it CT, so NY.

[hirschy75]

Just wondering, what do the street team members do exactly? Is this it? Do you receive a promo code for doing it?

We help promote the game and make sure things flow smoothly on the forums. We all do our own things, like I for example am handled the promo code contest and some other stuff.

And no we receive no promo codes. They are all going to reviewers, sites, or you guys :)

[The Bat Outta Hell]

Hahahaha did you just see it?

[hirschy75]

Here are some winners:

A Story:

Beep. Beep. Beep. Randal reaches for his phone. Beep. Beep. "Yeah?"

"Randal. This is Frankie. You have missed your payment."

"Frankie, I'll get it to you tomorrow."

"THERE ARE NO EXCUSES!" Frankie shouted.

"Please..." Randal begged.

"NO!! I thought I taught you a lesson about missing payments. Now I must terminate YOU."

Randal stuffed his phone away. "**** this!" He quietly looked around. He quickly started to run.

While he ran he quickly reloaded his pistol.

BAM! A shot was fired. Randal looked around frantically. "s**t!!!" He keep looking.

He finally found his target. He fired. BAM! Randal hears his enemy's groan of defeat.

"No time to relax" Randal thought "Frankie meant business".

Weee ooo weee oooo weee oooo wee ooo

"D***!" Randal shouted. "The police are with him!!"

WEEE OOO WEEE OOO WEE OOO WEE OOO

"There getting closer!!!!" Randal said frantically. He looked around
and quickly jacked a car. He was right at a red light. "**** this." He rides pastthe red light.

The police cars chase after him. "Looking for some fun, eh?" said Randal.

He was approaching a bridge. He swung to the grass and saw the police following him. He quickly spun the wheel and made it under the bridge. He looked behind him.

CRASH. WEEEOOooooo. The police car slammed right into the bridge. "**** Yes!!!" Randal shouted. "Woooaaahhh. AHHH!!!" Randal's car flipped and landed upside down.

Randal opened the car door, and dropped out. And started limping on. “I... can't... go on... much longer...” Many cars started to surround him. “****...”

People started getting out, carrying guns.

“Is this it? Is my whole life gone now? Even before... I have done anything useful in my life? I have wasted all my life so far gambling...”

Randal muttered to himself. “IS THIS F***ing FAIR???????” Randal shouted.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Randal reaches for his phone. Beep. Beep. Beep. “Yeah?”

“Randal. This is Frankie. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye Frankie...”

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!! All the men fired. All the shots hit. Randal lied still on the ground, with everyone leaving. Not one of them mourned for him.

Randal's life was gone in an instant.

[Rocketman919]

Hahahaha did you just see it?

Yeah, whaddaya think?

[Rocketman919]

Here are some winners:

A Story:

Beep. Beep. Beep. Randal reaches for his phone. Beep. Beep. "Yeah?"

"Randal. This is Frankie. You have missed your payment."

"Frankie, I'll get it to you tomorrow."

"THERE ARE NO EXCUSES!" Frankie shouted.

"Please..." Randal begged.

"NO!! I thought I taught you a lesson about missing payments. Now I must terminate YOU."

Randal stuffed his phone away. "**** this!" He quietly looked around. He quickly started to run.

While he ran he quickly reloaded his pistol.

BAM! A shot was fired. Randal looked around frantically. "s**t!!!" He keep looking.

He finally found his target. He fired. BAM! Randal hears his enemy's groan of defeat.

"No time to relax" Randal thought "Frankie meant business".

Weee ooo weee oooo weee oooo wee ooo

"D***!" Randal shouted. "The police are with him!!"

WEEE OOO WEEE OOO WEE OOO WEE OOO

"There getting closer!!!!" Randal said frantically. He looked around
and quickly jacked a car. He was right at a red light. "**** this." He rides pastthe red light.

The police cars chase after him. "Looking for some fun, eh?" said Randal.

He was approaching a bridge. He swung to the grass and saw the police following him. He quickly spun the wheel and made it under the bridge. He looked behind him.

CRASH. WEEEOOooooo. The police car slammed right into the bridge. "**** Yes!!!" Randal shouted. "Woooaaahhh. AHHH!!!" Randal's car flipped and landed upside down.

lol. If he was talking to Frankie on the phone, why would he get scared and run away? And who did he shoot?

Can we see the other entries?

lol. If he was talking to Frankie on the phone, why would he get scared and run away? And who did he shoot?

That was my entry. The reason why he got scared is based on one of the previews I saw (the intro seen where randal is at the casino) Frankie was like "if u miss a payment" then pressed some button and randals car exploded (i.e. miss payment= death) so thus Randal is scared + wants to save himself. He shoot some random FBI guy from the game.

edit: woo I won!!!

[Vester]

yeah!
grats >:l

[Rocketman919]

Ok, well I drew this. Definitely not the best drawing i've ever done. Just something i whipped up in half an hour to get my entry in. I did it all in Photoshop.

Just wanted to thank Tag Games and the street team for creating and hosting the best promo code giveaway ever.

I had a lot of fun with this.

It was exactly the kind of stuff we wanted, although a name woulda helped give you credit :)

A poem we got but couldn't give a promo code to:

Millions in gambling debts, when will it end?
You turn to Uncle Murphy, your only true friend.
He tells you how you can make some quick doe.
What he says is illegal so you really don't know.
The mob boss gives you less than a week.
You don't have the money, and you're starting to freak.
You don't think you can get the the money in time.
So there's only one thing left, you resort to crime.
Doing missions for people, like the mob and the maf.
So answer one question, can you pay that debt off?


K well I'm out for a little

Congrats to all who won

[jFND]

ok. I only entered contest 2 (I am too lazy to look things up!) so, I am excited to get the results (later tonight?). I hope so and will check after I watch LOST (the best show ever).

Damn right it's the best show ever. Miles-centric episode today..something that has never happened, so I'm looking forward to it.

[arta]

How exactly do promo codes work anyway?

Hopefully next time I'm on here it will be released :)
Just wishful thinking though :(

Mile? how much back story can they give to him? I feel like he is like the opposite of hurley, he never says what he is thinking, but he is always just there like hurley is. I really am excited now. just 20 minutes!

You already won I'm assuming the very first contest and they are only sending one code per person so they would of found out when they would of had to send you two codes. I'm just letting you know now, sorry.

These should not, I repeat SHOULD NOT be traded especially since this is such a good game

Yes. I won the very first one like in January that was for helping invent things for the game. I think I deserve two, because i did win both contests, fair and square. Second of all, the contests were completely unrelated and took place months apart from each other. Please ask Paul if he would allow me to get two.

Seriously though, that would be like me going on another site and winning a code there, yet me not being able to receive it because I already won one here. Please reconsider giving me two, I only see it as fair that way.

And its not like they are going to run out, they get fifty more each update, they could give em out like candy on halloween night if they wanted to. Dont know why more devs dont do that.

Yeah seriously Rocket should get it. Was there any rules where it said that you can't get two from different contests?

y would he want 2? to trade it?

Or give it to a friend he knows with a touch. That's what i've done with extras.

I already sent Paul an email asking him what to do but I expected more from you.

You would rather take away a code from someone who really wanted this game and then go and trade it to the highest bidder? It just seems wrong to me

As of right now you still are getting both, I was just letting you know what could happen

[Vester]

I already sent Paul an email asking him what to do but I expected more from you.

Yeah I agree with the rest of the pack. It only seems fair that Rocket get two codes.

Dont you think that the highest bidder would be the person who wanted it the most? And if i couldnt get a good trade, i was going to do a giveaway on here anyways. That is probably what would have happened, because there arent really any good games coming out soon.

[Rocketman919]

+1 to that

Ha, you only want the code. What makes you so sure that you would get it?

[hirschy75]

Like I said right now you are fine.

Just saying what could happen man

[dmbfan1192]

Someone to win something, completely fairly, and have it taken away from them seems wrong to you? That seems wrong to me.

[greenhornet9]

well the highest bidder surely wants it but someone who wants it more may have nothing to bid.

[iGame]

Ha, thats pretty funny. Yeah, put it up at 50 bucks, that way the extra code I have will be extra valuable. For anyone who is wondering what i am talking about, I have 2 CJS codes.

Why don't you just let them give the code to someone else who really wants it...you can only use one code...

[Rocketman919]

well the highest bidder surely wants it but someone who wants it more may have nothing to bid.

True, but how am i to determine who wants it more?

Think about this... A person who really wanted it and was a good soul would buy it to help out the developer. Promo codes are great too, but im saying the person who wants it the most isnt going to waste their time with a contest or a bidding war, they will buy it the second it hits the app store.

[Rocketman919]

Why don't you just let them give the code to someone else who really wants it...you can only use one code...

Why let them give the code away, when i can? I think it would be great to host my own little contest. And who says that if they dont let me have it, that they will give it out?

And what if one of my friends wants the game?

[hirschy75]

Ok I don't know how many times I have said this but this will be the last of this discussion. Due to a glitch in the original posting we did not clearify that you can win only one so you may still have it or you may lose it. I don't know, I'm not the boss. I was just letting you know what could happen. I don't even have access to the codes and since Paul is asleep in the uk while I'm in the u.s. we will have a delay. So everyone take a chill before you castrate me on the spot and wait. The only person it affects is rocket anyways and I can see where you are coming from so please take a break while Paul decides what to do. The games not even out yet so don't worry, there will be time for tag to decide

[crimson.]

Why don't you just let them give the code to someone else who really wants it...you can only use one code...
Why would he? He won two fairly. Why shouldn't he get his extra code? It's not his fault he's good at winning promo codes. If he won it fairly he should get to keep it.

[ksl2006]

Now I want everyone to calm down and wait for Paul to decide what happens because he's the boss. X.X

[hirschy75]

Now I want everyone to calm down and wait for Paul to decide what happens because he's the boss. X.X

Finally someone gets what I'm saying. I nvr said he lost it. Jeez look what happens when one person misunderstands a post

Yikes

Well you did say only one code per person which implies that he's gonna lose the other.

[hirschy75]

Yes and then I realized I never put that clearification in the original post. Hence the next post said I emailed Paul and didn't know what would happen

[crimson.]

He'll get the extra code is what should happen.

[jFND]

Calm down guys, as Hirschy75 has stated, he has no control over what happens to Rocketman's second promo code. He's just stating the consequences that may eventuate as a result of Rocketman having two codes.

Did Rocketman earn his promo codes? Yes. But even so, if it was already stated since its initial statement that no individual may receive two promo codes (none the less sell it); did he actually earn those codes legitimately? In Rocketman's eyes (and mine), he would have earned it through his merits. But in TAG's perspective, it may not be allowed.

So right now, best thing to do is just calm down. Hirschy obviously doesn't call the shots in TAG, he's just part of the street team. Either way, you all need to stop throwing rocks at Hirschy, he's only doing his job.

Not sell it, trade it. Or most likely give it away.

Haha I don't think it was a glitch in the posting, you guys probably didn't think that the same person could win two contests. I mean what were the odds of that lol

[jFND]

Not sell it, trade it. Or most likely give it away.

Which I'm obviously not opposed to. Hey, I'd do the same.

[hirschy75]

Haha I don't think it was a glitch in the posting, you guys probably didn't think that the same person could win two contests. I mean what were the odds of that lol

Very true, since I do not believe anyone has said this yet I will, this was made by the Street Team only and apart from sending the actual codes tag is pretty much outta the picture. Out of all the questions and ideas and contests we created this mixture was the best. But we are only human and make mistakes and in a rush to get this out to give you guys a decent contest for this amazing game I obviously made a small error and it is inexcusable and I do sincerely apologize for being responsible for this misunderstanding.

That being said I can try and put in a good word for you to tag to let them give you the second code since this was my fault and you would rather keep the second code then give it up which is very understandable. I'll put together an email and send one out to the street team and paul to let it slide and give you the second one since you did win it and it was a pretty nice picture.

Lastly I hope this hasn't turned anyone off to the actual game which will be very fun, I can guarantee you will all enjoy it

Congrats to the winners again, goodnight.

And thanks for having my back jFND :)

[Haephestos]

Guys, please don't flame Hirschy!:mad:
He has done an amazing job in organizing this contest for the street team! :)
The rest of the street team acted as the judges, and I can back Hirschy up when he says that he doesn't have access to the codes!

@Hirschy: Thanks for doing this, on behalf of the whole street team!

How did I know this was coming.........?

[hirschy75]

Ok Rocketman919 the second code is yours!!!

Congrats, just talked it over with Paul and we will let it slide as long as you don't horde it until it expires :) Trading or giving it to someone else is up to you because I have already seen your post in the trading club so it's not like your keeping it a secret.

Just be careful, it would totally suck to get scammed

[Glowz]

I won?!? Omg! Thanks. When will i get the code?

[hirschy75]

Whenever TAG emails you, probably right before or after the game is released

Well thanks, I know you've probably heard the "Omg!!" before after someone won... [I hope im not the only one who freaked out.]

This game seems great.

How did he take it the wrong way? You said "maybe i deserve the code". How was that supposed to be taken?

[The Bat Outta Hell]

He was joking =/

hirschy thanked him for backing him up, and he pretended to be like he was sucking up. At least thats what I think =S

But it wouldn't of mattered anyways cause someone else woulda been chosen from the contestants, lol

That it was a joke, I sense unnecessary tension so I'm just going to skip rope outta here for the moment.

[Glowz]

Ok people listen.
You go to a store. You see sims 3. Are they giving free copies of that? No.

Hirschy here
Made a contest to win promo codes. Good luck to everyone! The whole team with him is going to judge.
Okay some of you didn't win. At least you can't say their wasn't an opportunity out their.

[Haephestos]

Sorry jFND!
I meant my return post as a joke as well. :D
No hard feelings I hope?
