And J0shuaKane, Zilla isn't weak, hes just not a sentient monster, its an animal that is following instinct, that doesn't make it girly.
EDIT: didnt mean to be nasty to you Lancelectricution, just mad at the zilla hating going on around here.


Don't worry, I didn't mean to hate at Zilla. I think that he would do great as Godzilla's apprentice and become a real sentient monster himself/herself (he/she did lay eggs).
I meant to ask who that cheesy villain was and if that was Australia, since I saw the Sydney Opera House in a glimpse.

Hey, u didn't hate, its all good. Very Happy

So today is the last day...contest is over in a few hours. Even though he's not in first, I hope Dennis gets some kind of recognition for all his efforts...who the heck is Lord Balco?

Probably some guy running some sort of script between a group of PC's hitting his widget multiple times.

or not.

Dennis really should complain. He had much more than the 400 that the leaderboard claimed. It must have been hacked.

Within one (1) week of the conclusion of the Contest Period, the potential winners will be notified by telephone and/or mail and/or email using the contact information provided at the time of entry.


so we still have to wait a little while (it seems cloverfield is synonymous with patience).

they're most likely gonna check how each person got some of their grabs, check if their shit's legit before they give a private screening

Frankly, the leaderboard numbers are not so enormously high that any single person would've had much trouble skewing them, so long as they had a lot of patience and tons of time.

If you think about the number of times you could create Facebook accounts, grab and regrab, throughout a 24 hour period, and then multiply that by the number of days the contest was live...well, it seems like a distinct possibility that one of more of the winners could have gotten there by less-than-honest means.

The problem is that Cloverfield's peeps do not own the sites where the widgets are placed, and aren't at liberty to perform thorough IP address checks. (Meaning they can't tell in any CERTAIN way that a particular person was simply creating puppet account after puppet account, even if it seems clear that they did.)

I don't know anyone on the leaderboard personally, of course, but I hope Dennis walks out of this with a little more than a free hat and poster. His site has kept me entertained and Cloverfied for a while, and actually was my introduction to UF.

The way the widget works, your request for a 'grab' of someone's widget and your views of the videos call on the sites Paramount DOES have control over, namely the cloverfieldmovie.com site (direct control) and the clearspring.com site that is doing the widgets for them (indirect control). Those functions are not proxied through Facebook. Facebook seems to have some participation too, so would be likely to assist in policing their part of the contest anyway, but with the other two sites servers doing the real work it's hardly necessary. If 'lordblaco' bugged them for confirmation of his 'win' and found out he didn't, then it suggests that they have been checking the logs.

I received an email today stating that I had won a Cloverfield Prize Pack! WooHoo!!!

I actually called and talked to Paramount, and they said they didn't know what was going to be in the prize package yet, but probably t-shirt, hat, etc. They said they were trying to get more stuff to put in.

Also, the affidavits/release forms weren't ready yet, but she would send them out ASAP.

THANK YOU to everyone that helped out!!! Rock On

Regardless of who wins, we all know who the real winner is. No one, and I mean NO ONE has put more effort and time into this than Dennis. So a thousand props and a bow down to you Dennis, this king of Cloverfield Worshippy Rock On Brownie Brownie Worshippy
