Support NeoGAF

[vazel]

I'm lazy I stopped at a little over a dozen.

 

[spindashing]

I used less than half of the variants that site gave me. That's called ethics.

no that's called you snooze you lose

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I just stopped at 200 since I got tired.

Same here. I went as far as to change every single name address and phone number in each submission just in case. They're not dumb though, I'm sure they're using an IP address filter.

I bet some dude has been going non-stop since Friday.

You got no fight in you boy! Your "ethics" are just an excuse for you not to shoot for greatness!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Maybe now someone will be able to afford one of those 99999MS points items. :lol

 

[Zoltrix]

I always miss these things goddamn.

I would think anyone would get dishearten after the codes didn't come the first date. Most likely people will be spamming the site for hours once the codes start getting emailed right after the submission (Provided gamestop doesn't run out)

 

[DaBuddaDa]

(Provided gamestop doesn't run out)

I still think this is the most likely outcome. Gamestop is gonna tell Microsoft that 1,000,000 people submitted entries, and Microsoft is gonna respond: "Oh, that's too bad, we only have 10,000 codes for you to give out, here you go."

 

[Drkirby]

I don't think Microsoft would care, since they are most likely selling the codes wholesale, and Gamestop most likely don't care to much since I bet Activision is footing the bill.

 

[Wario64]

Just remember, a 48 hr code can only be used on a new account.

Not true, I've used like 50 48-hour codes on my account.

 

[Drkirby]

Yeah, same. I think its that you can't stack them at once, IE if you register 2 48 hour codes, they both will expire after 48 hours, but that could be wrong to.

 

[AndyMoogle]

I would think anyone would get dishearten after the codes didn't come the first date. Most likely people will be spamming the site for hours once the codes start getting emailed right after the submission (Provided gamestop doesn't run out)

If there isn't at least one guy still clicking for points, I would be very surprised.

 

[Stat Flow]

I only used a quarter, that's real ethics.

 

[El Sloth]

Welp, I just got one. :lol

1 month free of Live I mean. Not to my gmail I should add. And it was from Xbox.com not Gamestop.

Edit: On a second look I think it may be from something else?

It's a new message but hotmail says I received on 3/18/10. Don't remember signing up for any 1 month free codes, but this may just be a false alarm.

 

[Annoying Old Party Man]

Is this thing still on?

 

[Wazzim]

Welp, I just got one. :lol

1 month free of Live I mean. Not to my gmail I should add. And it was from Xbox.com not Gamestop.

Not funny.

That's a code from this link, it's something different:

[Firestorm]

All you fuckers who got more than you would ever need. So god damn greedy.

I used like 20 legitimate emails, and I stopped because I didn't want them to get suspicious and not fuck it up for everyone else.

Then you asses get like 800 emails and 50 fucking years of live and 2 million xbl points.

WHY!? Why do you need so fucking much?

Read that again out loud.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Read that again out loud.

20 legitimate emails.

Not

fake.email@gmail.com
f.ake.email@gmail.com
.f.a.k.e.email@gmail.com

I used emails that I actually had. Yes, I used 20, each with different names and addresses and mobile numbers. I didn't press back, and just change the email again. 20 is reasonable. 50 is reasonable. 600 is NOT. Especially using the period trick.

 

[spindashing]

Any more times than 1 is unreasonable. Whatever the case may be, you are manipulating the system.

Are you actually a real, live, breathing person? :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

I disagree. 600 is reasonable, 6000 is not.

And my bro disagrees with that. 6000 is reasonable, 60000 is not.

 

[spindashing]

This whole thing is unreasonable! You ALL are unreasonable!

 

[T-Matt]

How could I wallpaper my entire room with a mere 20 emails?

 

[Stat Flow]

Especially using the period trick.

I used the + trick.

WHAT NOW?

 

[Owzers]

I disagree. 600 is reasonable, 6000 is not.

And my bro disagrees with that. 6000 is reasonable, 60000 is not.

Well if you really think about it 60,000 isn't that much.

Anyways, i've yet to get an email, only did it twice and got the 1-month thingy and a " here are screenshots of call of duty"

1 is reasonable. 2 or 3 maybe. 20 is not reasonable and never has been. You abused it just as much as me who did maybe 80 or 100. This was going to be abused as soon as it was posted and you should have known this. RedFlagDeals had this 2 hours before GAF. I'm sure SlickDeals, FatWallet, and CheapAssGamer had it earlier too.

This happens with every promotion. Either you abuse it and make off with tons of points to last you until the next promotion or it doesn't go through. I got enough Live Gold from the last promo to last me 3 years so I didn't go for those this time around.

 

[brain_stew]

20 is reasonable. 50 is reasonable. 600 is NOT. Especially using the period trick.

How the hell do you make that arbitrary line in the sand and wha gives you the right to make that call? It doesn't matter which way you conned the system, you still conned the system, like everyone else and you have absolutely no right to complain about others.

 

[Wario64]

20 is reasonable :lol

Oh GAF...

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

This is appropriate.

 

[SapientWolf]

This is appropriate.

:lol

 

[Wario64]

This is appropriate.

Awesome :lol

 

[gogogow]

This is appropriate.

Holy shit! They fucked each other up for nothing :lol

 

[Kibbles]

This is appropriate.

:lol "What the hell". Oscar worthy.

 

[IrishNinja]

Well if you really think about it 60,000 isn't that much.

this is demonstrably ridiculous, any reasonable person can see > 50,000 is "too much". check your metrics/ethics.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Ethics: It's okay as long as I don't do as much as you.

 

[brain_stew]

This is appropriate.

/thread.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

This is appropriate.

But this thread is bringing us together! This video more accurately reflects the endgame of any MMO.

 

[Gospel]

This is appropriate.

hahhahaha Thanks for this!

 

[civilstrife]

The line (if there is one) is obviously drawn at any more than 1.

If these points do go through, somebody is going to come out of this with more than a million points, I'm calling it now.

 

[Broadbandito]

This is appropriate.

lol

 

[Conflict NZ]

Personally I think the line is however many pre orders of Black Ops you have, because really you shouldn't even be entering if you don't have a pre order.

lol Too true :lol Totally forgot about that.

 

[fernoca]

Well, maybe Mikey Jr. did 20 legitimate preorders.

 

[Truespeed]

Good news, everyone. I've retained the services of Jim Shapiro to lawyer it out for us.

[cool_dude_2049]

I really wish this thread would stop getting bumped until we get some concrete information.

 

[Ifrit]

This is appropriate.

:lol

 

[Gospel]

I really wish this thread would stop getting bumped until we get some concrete information.

Me too




ooops

 

[Wallach]

This is appropriate.

Fuckin' scream at the end of this is amazing. :lol
