i called for one of these and the guy told me i was registered to recieve it. My neighbor got one today but he moved, so i grabbed his. Anyways, i was curious when mine was coming, so i called marlboro, but they're saying that i'm not registered....i'm kinda pissed off because you have to be registered in order to start a team...

I got mine in today - I got it by calling the 800 number. Now I need 3 others who want to do it - it is mostly word puzzles - with locations as the answers - they require Photos of some of the answers, but anyone who fills out the registration to be on a team will get a packet too. They plan to mail them out around Nov. 1st. Answers need to be in by dec 18th.

Outwit the West 3 I got my packet in the mail, because I did the second one and my teammates that yr got one too. I got new teammates, because a lot has happened since the last one and I couldnt stand if I had the same people again. My teamate has the question book right now. Is there anywhere on the web posting the questions. I am not looking for answers just some of the questions so I can help search for the answers until the extra sheats of questions come. I don't think you have to be a heavy smoker to particapate. It just said smoker so that could mean social smoker as well as one that smokes off and on. Also is there an offical site for the Outwit the West contest this time, and if so what's the web address?

The big problem I have with this game is that it says you must be a smoker.
have to be a Volvo driver to play the Pirates of the Carribean game.
have to drink Coke to register on their site and cash in the Coke rewards points.
prove you use the product in order to participate in the game.

As I understand it, it's because they're not allowed to promote smoking, so all cigarette company competitions can only promote the brand, not the act. If you don't smoke you either stay away, or take a risk and pretend.

have to use their cosmetics to play. So although I'm still repulsed by money changing hands to promote cosmetics to teenage girls in 'literature', they have to rate as less offensive than this game.

not change hands.

You MUST be a smoker because... all you liberal hippies will sue them for second hand smoke if they don't verify that you are already being exposed to the danger. You pansies are all about trying to take the million dollar prize, and when that doesn't happen, you all want to sue them for twenty million as a consolation prize. IT IS A CIGARETTE COMPANY!!! You wanna play the game and take the money, acknowledge who you are interacting with. It's a free country - you don't have to participate.

It's Illegal to HAVE to use anything to win a prize. In order to give something away, you have to make it free (that's why there are always disclaimers at the end of the ads saying "no purchase nessasary") or else it's considered gambling and must be regulated in all the states (or countries) it it played in. It's probably saying you need to be a smoker to register for Marlboro mailing list, but theres no way they would be able to not give you the money for not using their product...

No where does it say that you have to smoke MARLBORO cigarettes. They are not requiring you to use their product...
