Grats to everyone!

Hmmm DLC from Ubisoft? That's like not taking an Airborne before going to a Chinese buffet in a strip mall.

Totally awesome! I sure hope my answers were right. They must have been though. They were kind of no brainers, even if you're a loser at math (like me). :)

Will a new thread be started with the winners? Or will it be in one of the existing ones? I just need to know what page to stare at this evening. :-)

Evil will make 10 new threads and each will contain a password and a clue to whoever won.

Meh, it's been too long of a day. Thanks for nothing Activision, thanks for something Ubisoft! :D

I actually screwed that up in a non-related tweet too, maybe I should just take a nap.

Sweet. Thanks Evil. Now that my son is older I have a -bit- more free time at night to game so I'm glad I came across this place since I'm pretty out of touch.

I hope future giveaways aren't done this way. I would never enter a giveaway the way this was done. That was why I did it the old way and commented with something unoriginal. Even though it cost me a DLC I don't mind, witty responses over questions+email addresses any day! Multiple emails ugh.

Cool, I didn't expect to get anything from this contest but getting a free DLC title from Ubisoft is pretty awesome!

Great choices too if Ubi's offer is universal.

I'd be interested in seeing total numbers when all selections are in.
I went with "For Cry 2"...whatever the hell that means.

I'm not sure what happened with this. I did not get an email, but I also have not seen any word from the reds about if somebody changed their mind or if it is still in the works or what the situation is. As far as I know they always come through and then some, so I am guessing it is just taking longer to get the emails out.

I have to manually send out the codes. I have the codes in hand now so I can start sending them out a few at a time today.
Whimbrel
10-20-2010, 11:23 AM
See, I knew it. If you have somebody in mind, you can send them my code. I won't have time for gaming for several months and this one is too cool to go to waste. I'm still chipping away at the Batman game I won last year.

Everyone in the USA who entered the contest and who replied to the E-mail asking if they would like a code was sent a code. People who I could easily identify as being outside the USA were not sent a code as the codes provided were limited to the USA.

That only amounted to about 8 people. I'll find some way to reward those people in the future. :D

Seems I did get one after all but simply forgot about it. The new code was auto-grouped into previous emails on the topic, that's how I found it in the end. But when I did an email search previously I didn't find it.

There was never any mention of entering "right", Evil clearly says everyone will get a free DLC for entering. I am among those who never got anything and I'm damn sure I got the answers right.

Maybe it wasn't this thread, maybe it was the contest thread, but Evil did say that those who didn't answer the questions right would not be getting anything.

The "everyone" was reference to those who entered correctly.

Everyone meant everyone who replied to the E-mail I sent out asking if you wanted a code. You had to reply to that E-mail so I knew how many codes to ask for.

As the codes were for the USA only, there was 6 people out of about 131 replies who I did not send a code to due to their E-mail address ending in stuff like .ca or .de and my mail program putting a little Canadian or German flag next to their E-mail address.
