[SPEC/META] So.. what do you think we'll win?

Honestly. all clues so far (the contest.php thing in the email bounce, the "this one's more rewarding" mp3, etc) are pointing to a prize for the winning team. So far (and we're damn close) YAY is in the lead..

So.. what do you think we're gonna Win? Razz

Pepsi are apparenlty giving away 100K 360's in a big instant win giveaway later on, so what are the odds that the 200 or so people on YAY get a free 360? if not, what do you think we'll get? tickets to E3 perhaps? a YAY-only preview of the 360? a year's subscription to live for all those that already have Xboxes?

Discuss.

Well, seeing as anyone can join any team at any time, i doubt any whole team will win anything. Maybe just the leader. But either way, i doubt it'll be much of anything, maybe an ant t-shirt like J. Allards.

I doubt it will have muc hto do with E3 as it will conclude the week prior to E3 and most people probably couldn't make arrangements that fast. I'm with novacaine on the other part with being able to join any team at any time. Plus it seems as though the points have almost come to a standstill with a minor update a couple of days ago.

What the heck even a free t-shirt would be something.

Has anybody ever mentioned a prize? The gamem8ker? The Owner? J. Allard? It's "if you want to win". that doesn't mean we are to get something in return.

Besides - yay is first today, tommorow it can be the last. Did you forget what was happening with the scoreboard?

As much as I would love a fee XBOX360 I doubt that is even in the cards. I kinda think a t-shirt would be a stretch. IMHO

iono they pulled off three or four giant partys for ILBs. Werent there more people for that then in say yay? Also they gave them the DVDs. and technicly speaking this is a much alarger product launch then halo 2.

My only feeling is lets make sure either yay or ARGolonists win.. Cause the other major ones (TeamXbox and the Brotherhood) have been running scripts to get colonist points. plus, id just like to see one of the unfiction ones win.

If they are going to give a prize though, a major sign will be if they cut off joining colonies beffore the end.

as for the has anyone metioned a prize there was:

Well done! You're inside but what now?

you're not the only one that made it this far. there are others with you. it's colony against colony and to the winner, well, the winner gets all. the deeper you go, the more you'll know what you'll find out.

I've just got to say that there's no way that they're actually going to give things to everyone in yay. I've said it before that I have my own colony but joined yay just so that I could technically be in the lead.

All you guys that just joined the top two teams didn't do anything special. You should make your own colony and take it far, the way I did.

I will go even further - If there is a prize, it is only meant for people from US. Even though this was to be a global game and people from abroad joining your team were giving the colony extra points... Well, in reality it is hard to give away prizes to people from, let's say, Poland (if there are any prizes that is).

But does this put me off the game? No way! Smile

I'm on TeamXbox and I'm curious to know who in our colony was running scripts? If not who, where did you see this information? I haven't heard about it at all. Thanks.

One guy from PAL Networking was running scripts for PAL and for TeamXbox. It was in the ourcolony forums when they existed.

Damn it. Now I've got an Abba tune stuck in my head. Thanks Novakain Evil or Very Mad

I doubt anyone will win a thing. Maybe you'll get an email at the end of it with a pre-order voucher in it.
