[mimicr]

So, Canadian residents can't enter?

[Bit]

Ah, Sounds like fun.

And It seems they can't, according to the requirements.

[Saladwood]

Sorry, we won't send it anywhere else in the US since it would have to go through customs, and then add more time to the shipping transit. We're already paying for the trial, and going to pay for next day shipping to whoever wins, sooooo, sorry!!!

Please keep in mind that all the contests and prizes come out of our own pockets! We have no income coming from this site.

[Sashi]

I think it's cool you guys are doing this. It's not cheap to import games like this.

Now, where is my God/Luck unit... hmm this will have to do instead...

*crosses fingers*

[Soundboz]

yay, a contest http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Wishing_Wind]

im in it YAY cant wait till aug 15

[Solidus_Snake]

if i win i could give this to my friend for a birthday present what perfect timing

[PSOCecil]

Isn't there a disk to play imported GC games without having to use a mod chip? If so... I'm gonna enter.

[Tekershee]

Bah I was too much in a hurry and didn't read the rules.

*Sobs*

[AndyPandy]

bah...why isnt this competition for everyone. Considering a lot of us "aliens" (as you Americans like to call us) make up a large proportion of this site...it seems a little unfair. Customs...why dont you just say to the winner if they live abroad that htye have to pay for postage....seems fair to me.

[Tekershee]

Yeah I would happily do that. But don't forget about customs too.

[LollipopLolita]

First thing is, technically by Gamespy rules, all contests and things of this nature is limited only to US residents for legal reasons. We are bound by Gamespy. Secondly, yes the customs and shipping will take a long time and we want the game to get there ASAP. We're going to mail it next day air. That's not so possible with EU and other locations, and the time for the online trial is limited. By the time it gets there and past customs, you won't get much time to play. Offline play in the Trial is limited to a 2 step battle which is basically nothing. Thirdly, while you might not mind paying for shipping, someone else who wins might, and that in itself is going to cause us problems. I can't expect everyone and anyone to pay for shipping. And I can't have a box saying well you can enter only if you agree to pay for shipping. How could we even arrange that easily and speedily so we can mail it the very next day?

I'm sorry guys and I understand your feelings, but try to understand it from our point of view. And Andy, it's not us Americas, in fact I'm an alien too. I hardly hear anyone here or in the US say alien when referring to me. So please consider the rammafications it has on us. It's very hard to make everyone happy, we're doing the best we can with what we can have and we thought giving away a copy of Ep 3 trial (which in itself is costly) might make someone happy. While I understand your frustrations, please there's really no reason to get upset or take a tone. Ok? Everyone happy?

[AndyPandy]

I wasnt thinking about me as Ive got a copy coming tomorrow, Im just thinking about all the other people who cant enter the competition. As for the Alien thing...everytime I go on holiday in the states I get called it by the US immigration.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: AndyPandy on 2003-08-13 02:13 ]</font>

[LollipopLolita]

that's because it's a legal term and they have to say it that way.

[Atax]

Oops... Going to have to remove me from the raffle list. Accidently clicked on the add me button, before I read that it was for US residents only.... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

[Tekershee]

Same here.

[EvilNixon666]

I appreciate the contest very much. I would love to see the new PSO game!

Oh, someone asked about how to play import games without modding your cube... you could try the newest version of the "freeloader" boot disc.

[marcus_com]

Umm, i Live in sweden, but I participated in the contest anyways, this since my brother lives in the US, so I can have it sent to him and then he can send to me in case I would win. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[AndyPandy]

Lol this seems typical of US foreign policy...haha.

[marcus_com]

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

If/when I win I'll have to get myself a Freeloader. Hmm, might just be able to play online for like 5 days since shipping takes some time, but hey, it's soo worth it. I can always play offline to. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Dhylec]

wah, another contest!
i enter just for fun.. i dont hope to win due to past experience http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Valleo]

Yes, I too have relatives in the states. Could I enter the contest and have it shipped to them should I win? I too am in Canada.

[AndyPandy]

I think what lollipop is saying is that by the time you actually get it the trial would be over, thats why you have to live in the States.

[Para]

Ahhh darn... can't.. join because of the US resident thing.. policy blargh

[monkeyfist]

heres the link to the freeloader:

[Valleo]

Right the trial is ending soon. That makes more sense that gamespy not allowing non US residents to enter.... all the other contests were open to everyone. Meh, If the trial is ending soon then mabye ill just wait.

[K9999]

heh if i win i might as well buy ep1/2 for GC since the only reason i bought the BBA was for MK:DD Lan parties

its pretty cool that you guys are doin this tho thanks

Our main concern is getting it to the winner as fast as possible so the winner can still enjoy the online trial.

I don't mind if you live in Canada and have someone here to ship it to, but I don't even know if you have time left to play.

[Wishing_Wind]

thank god for freeloader so u dont have to spend 200 more on a import gamecube
edit: of course my chance of winning is like winning the lottery http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[marcus_com]

hmm, maybe Sonic team will extend the online period to, you never now. But, anyways, you can still play it offline, however, we all now that online is funnier. Than again, maybe the difference between multi offline and multi online wont be so big in this game as it is in episode 1&2 since you dont have the split screen now.

btw. My friend received his copy of the game yesterday... think iam jealous, http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[DocTruth]

Signed up again just to have a small (1/356) chance at it. Heres to hoping. I lost my PSO 1&2 awhile ago due to a bug... Losing 3 100+ characters at one corruption made me swear it off till a sequal comes out.


*crosses fingers*

[monkeyfist]

so the raffle is over at midnight august 15 (pst) does that mean 3am eastern friday, or 3am eastern saturday??it can be interpreted friday technically starts at 12:00 midnight on the night of thursday and vice versa so i was just wondering

[monkeyfist]

okay, stupid question

[Kujin]

sorry for the following stupid question, but i have not been paying attention to the whole episode 3 trial thing.

can the trial be played offline too?

i'm just curious if one would be able to still play it after the online trial is over with.

[polishedweasel]

This should be fun...I bet I'm gonna not win!!

[LollipopLolita]

offline play is very limited. offline singplayer is limited to 2 battles per side

[lil_devil]

So,is it only this contest limited to the US? Or is every contest?Also,I have a cousin who lives in Windsor Ontario right next to the border of Detroit. Can it be shipped to her?

[LollipopLolita]

this contest itself is limited to the us primarily because of the shipping and time concerns. other contests might be different depending on factors.

[LollipopLolita]

So our very first raffle was over and we are glad to announce the we have a winner! sierra1mst, please contact us and send us your shipping address! If a shipping address is not received by one of our admins by Sunday 12pm PST, the winner will be cancelled and another winner shall be picked. Congratulations and thanks to everyone that participated.

[Tekershee]

Congratulations! Bah I wanted to win.. if only I lived that way a bit <----

[Solidus_Snake]

I checked sierra1mst's profile and realised this person only joined the site to get this game...no posts or anything hell most of the data thats usually there isnt. im feeling kinda suspicious



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Solidus_Snake on 2003-08-16 07:41 ]</font>

[Temjin-On]

yea 0 posts. I dont think he should win, and when a few days ago i went to enter i got a message saying that i was abuseing the raffle. I think its because of my AOL and static IP adress. SO if there is a redrawing i cant win anyway becuase the stupid system thinks im trying to cheat. Just thought i bring that up http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Solidus_Snake]

i think its unfair to come here say oh a raffle join the site just for the raffle and win. I think it shouldve been for people who actaully are members of the site and not just trying to use it for personal gain

[Neo_Squall105]

God...People try doing a nice gesture and then it comes and bites them in the ass.

[Solidus_Snake]

ill just drop it no sense being an ass about their generosity. I wonder the trial ends on August 31st though doesnt make too much sense.

[monkeyfist]

wait, did sierra1mst turn in his/her info? its about 8:00 pm pst and the home page still is asking for the info. did the person not respond?

[LollipopLolita]

nope he never did, so we picked another winner. and if the second person doesn't send one of us a shipping address in 24 hrs, we'll pick yet another person!

[Saigan]

Between people not responding and those out of the country who entered I'll win this thing sometime around... September.

Awww. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

By the way, while I actually feel like using my keyboard, I dunno who does all the item database stuff, but they did a really really good job. Its very handy to have it here, and sorry for causing any trouble for people hating on low posters.

[Flowen-Wing]

Im hoping I can win. I never won anything before. This would be cool becauz i want to play this game before I see if im going to import the final version.

[Devildog]

Yea because you technically are an alien of the United States. Don't get caught up in the word having a negative connotation.

[Super_Tampon]

I just got a PM that I won!!!! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif But no admins are on right now. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[BogusKun]
