curses!! *sends email again*

[Taco]

This really is quite an impressive quantity and variety of prizes you guys aquired. How'd you pull it off?

[phantomhitman]

come on baby, one last chance!!

Goats....I sacrificed a LOT of goats.

[dark_inchworm]

I'm so hyped up, I thought I saw my name on the winners list for a second there. Damn :) I'm not counting too much on success, but hey, it can't hurt to try. Here's hoping!

Congrats to all the winners so far, and thank you EA for giving me a decent reason to send email!

One last thing.. are the system specs available?

[bapenguin]

Yeah...they are listed in the Rules Thread linked in the post.

[Abednigo]

Holy crap! I never win anything. :)

[fitbabits]

Congratulations to those who won.

[fitbabits]

Holy crap! I never win anything. :)
And that will be the last time you ever have to write that! :)

Congratulations!

[Rirath]

Another day, another try.
'Grats guys.

[fushi]

I hope those who never win will at least receive postcards with pictures of cats on them, pretty please :o

[Borgboy]

Poo! I mean, conrats to the winners. :p

*spits on his hands and fires a couple more emails at EAGiveaway*

[Kelegacy]

I'm going to renege on my promise to abstain from further winnings and enter for the Shuffle! I don't own an MP3 player at all.

How many more days are left for the Giveaway? Is there a list of what prizes are left?

[OUX]

Gratz people maybe tomorrow will be OUX's day in the sun

Today is the last day...maybe I'll mention that in the post.

Really? Come by my house some time. Every now and then I bump a piece of furniture and they fall out. 2x creatives, 3x rios, and the psp. All of them (except for a rio I bought for the wife for traveling) was a given to me as a gift. Somehow when you seem to be the "go to" guy for all things audio, people think you need more mp3 players.

And I had an ipod mini... but the wife left it in the car... with the car unlocked.
*curses the ninja looters*
Whatever. I'll buy another ipod when I'm too lazy to circumvent the itunes copy protection.

[SaintArnold]

Great contest guys, even if I don't end up winning anything. Nice work.

[junkie24]

Gratz to the winners.

I want a Rio, so if you could just mail me one of your extras, that'd be great. Thanks!

[[Jez]]

Thats my email sent again... i really need me a new mouse

[Cubfan]

I didn't win... again :(

Physical transfers are so much effort. I'll send you a picture of one though.

[spacerat100]

i've had 2 rio nitruses and 2 calis and they all broke within 2 weeks :p Never again will I buy rio

[TheHulk]

OK... today's the day for winning... I mean... It is my birthday.. (hint, hint)...

[Kelegacy]

You're dead.

[Citizen Philip]

There seems to be a mistake. I haven't won anything yet. Please adjust the rules to remedy this situation. Thanks.

COngrats to the weinars!

[TheKeck]

Congrats Abednigo, Adam Blue, and guys I haven't heard of!

Now, it simply begs the question.... in what way am I filling out my e-mails wrong? That MUST be the problem! :p

[Cyotik]

I want that mouse so bad!!!

[GoblinToe]

Damn, Evil. Freaken nice prizes. Must have taken quite the effort to get this contest together, and it's definitely appreciated!

Thanks for all your time and effort on this one.

Awesome potatoes!

[Jukey]

Congrats to EA for a great contest.

Oh yeah, and to the winners ;)

[Mondopest]

Woohoo! I actually won something! Thanks EA!

[El-Rodente]

evilavatar: sponsors must love you

also, thanks for blagging these things for us to try and win :)

[Bone]

Now, it simply begs the question.... in what way am I filling out my e-mails wrong? That MUST be the problem! :p
lol, I wondered if my short, to the point email (the body consists of one word: "Bone") was getting rejected as spam, or if my From email address needed to match my email on record at Evil Avatar (which is an old email address I only check from home).

I guess I must resign myself to the fact that I never win these kind of contests ;)

[Kelegacy]

Easy answer to "spam email" questions:

USE GMAIL. 2 gigs of email space and growing. Easy to use. It's not Hotmail.

Enough reasons for you?

If you're referring to my post, I meant I was paranoid that my emails being received by EA's staff were being rejected for having just "Bone" in the body. At the same time, I didn't want to offend potential Soup Nazi contest admins by actually writing anything else in the email.. like "man, I hope I win" or "Well, here's my info", etc. Silence! No contest for you!

See what these contests do to otherwise normal, neurotic nerds like myself?

Here's my beef with gmail; they are total attachment Nazis! (That being said, my main e-mail address, aside from work, is still gmail.)

So far...of the 8500 or so emails....9 have been reported by SPAM from GMail.

Of those 9...8 have actually been spam. 1 was an entry. Can't figure out why it thought it was SPAM.

I moved it back into the contest though...no worries!

[Lutheran]

Yes this is really incredible , nice prizes and totally unexpected.

[Spigot]

Congrats again to everyone who won. *crosses fingers for that gaming rig*

[dark_inchworm]

I hate to be fussy... but when did We Love Katamari get replaced by Sniper Elite?

[amusedtoe]

I'm jealous of whoever got the MX700 since I'm sure they haven't even made it in a while now.

Even though I don't stand a chance to win anything this has been a really great contest, I don't remember another being nearly this awesome. Thankye Papa Evil.

[Kelegacy]

It's mine, dickbandit.

It was an error on my part when the post first went up.

[Taco]

Are entries sent today and tomorrow being accept if you sent them in Friday?

[Mav]

any chance we can plead with Evil to tip to drawing for the grand into a poor gamers favor?

the beast of a machine is like ten times my current pc :(

600 mhz celeron
512 SDram
geforce mx 4000
80 gig hdd (my own)
and a *ahem* copy of Windows Xp Pro

even with a full time job a pc setup for todays games is woefully out of my budget (god damn student loan payments from years ago) Dont mean to pull a tiny tim but theres not really anything im getting for christmas, other than the day off work, times are tight. hell it was a miracle I got guild wars to run (though the really low framerate really owns me if I try to PvP which is the main fun of the game..).

i know, i know, sob story aint gonna change a thing. doesnt hurt to try ya know, every contest there is is another chance to play amongst my peers in honest games instead of being stuck in crap like gunbound or maple story

[Jukey]

When's the announcement on who won?

EDIT: Read the announcement (it's Monday). Doh! :o

I'm announcing it right now:

Kelegacy won Grand Prize. I sacrificed two homeless men to the Fires of Zalgotha last night, so I am worthy. I have seen the future. It is Kelegacy.

Sorry, buddy - the message was Kelegacy won the Grand Prix (clean your monitor). See, I rubbed my crystal balls and saw you winning the Australian Grand Prix (and looking damn fine while doing so). Just one word of note for when you find yourself on the starting grid - the woman holding the umbrella over you to shelter you from the sun is your daughter. That'll learn you!

[Oblivion]

You have crystal balls? can't imagine your sex life. no.. wait a minute. I can. goddamn! THE IMAGES!!!! AAARRRGGHH!

[tfc]

that is some sick prizes you guys got up there, maybe i can get one. all i would like is either an ipod shuffle , or that soul calibur 3 pack

[tfc]

i dont know if i did the email right, so am i allowed to try again?

[mamarola]

And that sound you hear is the mighty swoosh of the BANHAMMER as it approaches you like shite off a shovel.
