EpicNogg4 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Congrats to whoever the winner is probably should make it 50+ or 100+ posts next time Thanks for the giveaway man, was a lot more fun than the usual generator type thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winning number has indeed been guessed, however I noticed that the "winner" had been using multiple accounts with the same IP address to gain extra guesses per day. I sent Matty a PM informing him of this and he wasn't happy about giving the prize to this person. The winning number had also been guessed a 2nd time, so there is a "runner-up" that Matty would prefer to give the prize to instead. The delay in announcing this was due to investigating and confirming the foul play. Hopefully Matty will be on shortly to announce the real winner of the giveaway. So,you know the number,right? EDIT.Well,if we have a competition like this again,one of the rules should be that only members who joined before the creation of the thread can participate.It's easy to see when anyone joined Edited April 19, 2017 by sephiroth4424 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like what @EpicNogg4 says, with post count, is probably better though there still will be people that post on multiple accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will create many accounts just in case this happens again? Well,it's not impossible but isn't it excessive? Anyway,about this one,it's bad news for anyone who created a spreadsheet and erase every answered number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AARCT1C Posted April 19, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Hi all, Welcome to the final day of my giveaway and my last update. Firstly I would like to congratulate sephiroth4424 for correctly and validly guessing the number 950. Secondly I apologise for the delay. Thirdly I would like to thank everyone who participated, I am grateful for the support you have given me and my giveaway. I chose to make it a bit of a game instead of doing a random number generator because I wanted to do something that could get the community involved and maybe having a little fun at the same time. I think I've done that based on many of the comments on the thread, so I'm glad that part worked out well. I'm pretty happy with how most of the event has played out, I definitely have a couple of things to improve and work on before I host another giveaway. I will certainly be reaching out to a moderator beforehand if I do anything similar to ensure fairness. I will be open to suggestions and ideas for rules/hints etc should I get the chance to host another event. I hope you all had as much fun as I did, Once again, congratulations sephiroth, I hope you enjoy the game. Thank you all for participating and have a great week of trophy hunting!

I think I've done that based on many of the comments on the thread, so I'm glad that part worked out well. Now I'm curious. Didn't you state somewhere that the number had a special to you? If so, I'm curious and want to know if you might share the meaning with us, pretty please? And like the judge said, don't let this deter you. It's surely a nice idea of doing a giveaway as compared to the typical RNG-thingy some users are using (me included). Sadly there are some idiots who spoil the fun. And before I forget: Congrats to sephiroth4424! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 @MattyH16 Cheaters gonna cheat, don't let a few bad apples keep you from doing good stuff. as @grimydawg and @EpicNogg4 said, a minimum post count could work (and with a high ost count you'd be promoting site traffic). And if all else fails, just ask @Stevieboy to check if the IP of the winners turns up on other posts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @grimydawg said, yes it will work, but only if you leave the account with which you downloaded the game on your PS4 (because that's the account with the rights to the game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codes for games normally work for all stores that fall under the realm of one of the subsidiaries (Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Japan), only the codes from the topup-cards are tied to one specific country (e.g. you can't use a greek topup-code to increase your funds on a spanish PSN-account, although both have the Euro as currency). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
