YEA!!!!
If everyone pulls together and keeps their records straight, it will work.

Records
When you won Daily Rage
When you were first notified that you won
Who contacted you and how
When you contacted them that you won
Who did you contact, the date, time and who you spoke to or emailed.
How many times you contacted them

Each time you contacted them, what was the responce and how?
Via phone, who did you talk to, name, date and time
Via Email, from who, and date


**note to others*
I did not win on DR, I actually only caught the tail end of December on.
But I loved playing and have met some really nice people from there too. I hate to see anyone get "jipped, or cheated" out of what was won by SA/DR Rules.

Also I firmly believe that if MTV knew about all the payroll problems they may not have laid down in bed with SA/RD and totally screwed up a good game.

I hate the music, I hate the no brainer game, I hate the slot machine with no "logic"

hm I dont even like using the word hate.

I would like to know though how gt606 has 40 thousand plus points and kimgirl is around 15k +. amazing uh? (something fishy to me but thats just my opinion)

I have seen flaws in the *NEW* poor excuse of a game where at the slot machine, keeping good track of the numbers a number should have dropped and didnt.
Once I had 5 numbers drop and the 6th number didnt drop.

DR there are a lot of flaws in your tech dept.



I think I have done enough ranting abour raging for the night, sorry


I will be around,,, if anyone needs me and cant find me Chazzzsmom knows where to find me......

Be safe everyone

I do not call, I only correspond with them via emails - writing

I can have proof of everything they have told me that way

[edited to add] tomorrow is the 90 day mark from when they received my notarized (overnighted) paperwork. IF No check tomorrow, I will begin my case with the Arbitration company and give them my CC# to pay my filing fees. I have not heard directly from anyone else who is interested in filing with me for only 1 case & I know they have been contacted, so I will apparently be going it alone.

[wench]

I will keep my fingers crossed for ys Red

Ya know I didnt know about this forum about DR until I did a google search on DR. So makes me wonder how many others are lost without a place ya know...

HIYA Peggy, working on web site today so have been busy.

Red make sure when you print out all the correspondance you give them "full" headers.

be back later folks.

[RedHatty]

Thanks wench (love the sn, btw) Yep, full headers will be present when it gets to the table - if it even gets that far. A lawyer friend of mine reminded me that since DR has broken their own "contract" (official rules) by taking longer than the posted 60 days to send out prize awards, that the rest of the "contract" becomes null & void. So basically, If I wanted to take them to small claims court, I could & not even use the arbitration. But as another person reminded me, since DR is in California, the damages can be multiplied by 3, so it can't hurt trying the arbitration first.

[wench]

Hey I just sent a message to someone that won twice,
Duhhhh *banging head on keyboard* I never even thought of him and we see him every few days.

Another thing with this arbitration,

Your cost will be returned to you with a successful win.

When jack gets back to me I will send him here,

be safe all

I figured out this am how to make the game bigger in both IE and Firefox. Lemly had mentioned in her blog about using the F11 key. You hit the F11 key then refresh the page.

Has anyone else noticed on the daily winners list the number of people who have their name on the list multiple times? One family 4x each for 2 people. The multiples are all new players. The entries might be different cases or a nickname Andrew vs Andy, most are blatantly the same. I realize if they get picked it should automatically disqualify them. However the increased numbers throws off a legitimate drawing, at least in my mind.

Welcome to my other World DrHermy Any newbie help you need, i am but a pm away plus you can find quick linie buttons to aim, yahoo & email at the bottom of my avatar/post

Well I sent a pretty snarky letter to RP/DR yesterday & low & behold, I get a reply from their "general council" (Susie fwd'e it with a warning that legal action was threatened - didn't bother with the first one) So for all to see just how lame this organization really is, here's the leter I received

[chazzsmom99]

Gee, Red, sure you're not shaking in your boots!!! They are very aware of the 3x rule, so if they can scare you off, they don't have to pay....Ever hear of a lawyer not gettting money??? Low on money after getting together w/MTV....Hmmm, strange

Now, I'm going to get my tea, and find a game to play here...

Hi just and Dr! I'm glad to hear from you both!

I have been working away from home.....and even though there is a business center with a computer to use at the hotel I am in, I have not played the MTV-DR game in a week.......I have no interest in the game the way it is. I saw an ad for it on TV yesterday and it 'bout broke my heart, knowing what the game WAS and what it has become.............

I would be interested in joining any action taken regarding the DR checks, but I don't have funds to pay for legal representation. I heard from Tech Support last week telling me it won't be much longer, yeah right, ok.

[chazzsmom99]

Wndlynn, do you still have your frappr map up?? I seem to remember that you had one at one time...

Okay, bottom line from the Arbitration cmopany - we cannot do a "class action filing" Only on an individual basis. There are specific steps that must be followed they can be found HERE.

I have heard quite a few people say that the $125 to file is too much for them. Please check out Fee Waiver Guidelines. basically what this lists is family size & income level (200% of federal poverty, unless you live in California, then it's 300%) if you meet these guidelines, you can have a full waiver of fees. The form for CA residents can be found HERE Non-CA residents, call the Western Case Management Center at 1-877-528-0879 to file for the waiver.

Nutshell summary:
we send notice to DR & AAA(with fees or waiver), then DR has 10 days to reply & pay their fees (alot more than ours!- total of $950 PER filing), then as soon as AAA hears from DR, an arbitrator is appointed(or at the end of the 10 days if no reply)
The arbitrator contacts both parties & then you have 7 days to present your evidence. Either party can request a hearing (but i doubt that DR will as it will cost them in the end & they know it) parties can also agree not to have a hearing & abide by the decision of the arbitrator.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator must make his or her award within fourteen calendar days from the date of the closing of the hearing. For Desk (no hearing) Arbitrations, the arbitrator has fourteen calendar days from when the AAA sends the final documents to the arbitrator.

The arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief or outcome that the parties could have received in court. The award shall be final and binding.

This means that in your INITIAL filing you have to request the 3X damages allowed by CA law!

This can take over a month But if you go through arbitration & DR STILL drags butt to pay you, THEN you can take them to court & (depending on what the arbitrator decided) go after 3X AGAIN (as per CA Law, since the Official rules state that DR is bound by CA Law)!

So it's every Rager for themselves. Sorry, I really was hoping to have us all file together.
