 On a Mac

Native WINE, or something like CrossOver? I have a Windows laptop that I treat like a games console, so it'll definitely get there, but my primary machine is a Mac, so would certainly like to waste time over there too ;)

So, this is entirely unsubstantiated (since it's based on a blog post's comment, which we all know has been faked plenty of times), but it does coincide with the April 2nd countdown timer on the minifig missions. From a comment on "Future Plans at MLN" (MLN is the social/browser-based game at mln.lego.com, which already has a LEGO Universe tie-in, and which has been stated elsewhere to be the place where LEGO Universe achievements will be displayed/shown):

 Wine ...........and a handful of luck.

More updates: the minifig countdown now shows 66 days again, but the "John@LEGO" is still regularly posting comments at http://mylegonetworkblog.blogspot.com/ indicating that a new promotion starts on April 2nd.

This Breaks the Rules

[morbus]

Actually, it doesn't - the policy is specifically address to the blog administrator (i.e., the eponymous "you" indicated by "BLOG ADMINISTRATOR", per John@LEGO's comments; the same "you" asked to write 500 words on why your site rules), and not onlookers. In fact, if you really want to get picky, _your_ comment, telling me to delete my comment, is legitimately against the stated wishes, as it both confirms and addresses the promotion ;)

EDIT: And, yes, I do see John@LEGO's followup comment regarding the "leakage". I'm more than happy to state that I am not a member of your blog and thus, am not "on your blog". Nor am I a "true member" of your blog, inasmuch as I'm not a "true member" (which I assume you'd like to infer as as "loyal" and "subservient") of Unfiction or any other blog or forum that I comment on. However, like TicketMaster's attempt at restricting deeplinking, like Scientology's attempt to censor the web, like The Golden Jigsaw's attempt to silence Unfiction posts about its games and puzzles, attempting to control the dissemination of information, once posted on the Net, is folly. As an AFOL, I love TLG, but it's sadly mistaken about how the Internet works. They're not the first people to try such a thing, nor will they be the last to fail at it.

To concede a small point, however, I'll edit my above comments to not link to your site at all and instead, to Google's cache of your site. TLG can then attempt to persuade Google that they are "leaking" information about a promotion, and that TLG knows more about the Internet than Google does. Or any of the other major search engines that offer the same capability.

So it appears that, even though the restrictions never applied to me (even John@LEGO's followup regarding the restrictions, where he specifically addressed the "readers" versus the blog owners, didn't clearly state a denial), I have been blacklisted from said site. My legitimate answers to the latest post (which are really "hey, free marketing questions!", so having John@LEGO lose out of them is a bit counterproductive) are not being published, nor will any of the blog owners get back to me on why.

Ah well.
