I was unable to find the page to enter the sweepstakes. I'm glad it's not April first or I'd think I'd been had...

Shoot, I was hoping TD was offering a Platinum Membership as a prize. Maybe toss in a light beer along with the Platinum Membership.

If the link doesn't work for you, I am pretty sure it means you are in violation of one or more of John's voluminous conditions. Posting from Canada, or close to Canada, or with a Canadian accent? Ineligible. Have you ever "volunteered" to start a game thread? TD considers you an unpaid employee and thus ineligible. Perhaps you have someone living in your house, unbeknownst to you, 3 months of the year, who has already entered? You better believe that makes you ineligible.

 

Turns out only one person is eligible, by the name of "Bohn Jonnes." Looks a lot like our esteemed site owner John but with a mustache and sombrero. Not what I would have imagined based on the name, but in any case, he wins all the prizes.

For those that might be confused by the previous comments, the original prize was just 15 copies of OOTP to be awarded one per day, the contest start date was 7/13, and the only link given in the article returned an error page.

 

Looks like that has all been cleared up now!  Thanks John!

2 days in a row doing a "Failed (insert something here) Playlist" and it worked! 

Well, actually ... that other article thread was around for a couple of days but wasn't pinned. So with all the news around it sank to the 2nd page of threads. And that is the one that will be updated every day with the new daily promotion ... watch the title change daily as the days go by ... so ... hopefully you haven't missed out on anything.

 

Also ... I guess no one noticed that if there were problems or questions with this promotion, there was an email address provided ... hmmm ... ;)

I actually did email last week about the "thankyou" link not working, and the unclear original promotion start date, and received no response. :(

sigh ... :(

 

I sent an email directly to John. And I've pinned the actual giveaway thread, which will change daily. Already passed is the t-shirt (yesterday), but hope you can hop on today's offering ... beer! (Btw, I have nothing to do with this and no knowledge of what's what ... just trying to educate myself enough to help posters with questions they have.)

I"m sorry for the confusion gang. I needed to create a first draft for the rules and conditions, so I created one to schedule in the past so it wouldn't appear anywhere near the front page. But I forgot that it also creates a thread in the forum that people could see. You can find the real page with the sweepstakes here, along with when the prizes are being awarded:

I'll close comments on this to reduce confusion.
