Christmas Scavenger Hunt Giveaway Game #2. [Ended]

[Varhur]

So, the moderator who was counting points, made the questions and helped counting the answers won? Because Beyondthegrave won.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[Aecesaje_]

Does Beyond count for the competition? Since both moderators were receiving answers from other users and B1 answers didn't count while Grave's answers did.

 

Anyway, i think I did well but I kinda regret going with Platisfaction for number 1 but whatever. Also I should have went with Bugsnax for number 4 since there's a trophy art with an Oreo bugsnax on it but I thought it was too obvious.

I won't count for placement (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) and I will not receive any prize if I ended up winning. I just do it for fun to see where I land. B1rvine did it to ensure the entire scavenger hunt was possible. Lol.

 

I'm working on the final results now (about halfway done) and getting the tallies ready. B1rvine will review it once I'm done to make sure I didn't fat finger anything. After that, the announcement will be made here.

Damn, always a few Debbie Downers to put shade on a great competition.  Just wanted to thank the PSNP Team for putting on a great event that actually made me think!

Oh ok, I just thought it was strange seeing B1 out of the results. 

 

In that way, good luck with the counting and thanks for the giveaway ☺️

Thanks for hosting this giveaway! It was fun to find the answers because there was actually only one answer I could answer right away, question 9. I was also going for least points but I underestimated the community as it seems...  (on a side note: I'm listed with RDR2 for question 7 but answered with RDR1, did you merge both RDRs?)

 

Happy new year, have a great 2021 everybody!

Yep, same here. For question 7 my answer was Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare which was a stand-alone disc or expansion pack to the first RDR.  Anyway, it was fun. Thanks for hosting! 

 

Fixed. Not sure why that "2" was there.  All of you were RDR 1.

 

Also, here's the entries themselves (if anyone feels it's important)  : https://www.dropbox.com/s/omv0ie9k0px89cz/xmas answers.zip?dl=0 .  They're all in a zip file.

Thanks. I knew there'd be some wrong (that weren't obvious). Right now, I just wanted to get some stuff up since its a lot of work to do in one shot.

 

For anyone winning prizes, they'll be heavily fact checked. The increase for the point score for those three would increase about 18 points, which probably won't matter too much. 

 

1. I can only speak for Battlefield Hardline but I’d say it would be extremely cheap to disqualify people if they chose this as their answer.

Test Your Mettle DID require 2 teams of 5 to start a competitive match. And most ppl boosting this legit would have gone for a ten ppl session.

It’s true that there is an exploit where ppl jump teams during the first few seconds of matchmaking (and best be done on private servers ?) but punishing ppl for only knowing of the legit method seems... harsh.

2. I didn’t pick Beyond for question 1 for the same reason I didn’t pick you. It seemed too much like teacher’s pet to name the ones that ran this event. So I picked one of my other favorite mods. ?

 

3. Anyway, thanks again for doing this. Happy 2021 to you, yours and everybody who reads this.

[GT__Jedi]

One of the best events of the year!  Really had a blast with this.  THANK YOU Team for putting on this fine event!

[Helyx]

I enjoy community events like these. Keep up the good work.

Fair point and I actually agree.I take it back.

[B1rvine]

Alright -- the official results are in.  Congrats to the winners!!

 

BeyondtheGrave07 is obviously too good at this game, and gets to host it himself next year and make it more challenging. Anyway, he's not playing for a prize. 

 

Congratulations to @maiathewinners for 1st place, LOW. $50

Congratulations to @hBLOXs for 2nd Place, LOW, and next closest to BeyondtheGrave07 (that didn't already win a prize), $25

Congratulations to @DoctorDrPepper for 3rd Place, LOW, $10 (You're winning the 2nd prize, since 2nd place is winning more)

 

Congratulations to @TugaSonic for 1st place, HIGH. $50

Congratulations to @villdoc for 2nd place, HIGH. $10

 

Congratulations to @Carol for winning the random drawing. 

 

Note : I'd prefer to give out US cards if possible, obviously since it's easiest for me, if you have a US alt for sales or whatever. But I'll work with you guys however you want.

7. Uncharted 3 (DLC trophies) -- I think technically everything could be done 3v3, but randoms could still join after matches started up to 5v5. To lockout randoms (which count as a booster anyway) you'd need 10.

I'm not going to fact check the high scores, since multiple people picked those answers, and they're obvious anyway.

 

The few "wrong" answers aren't going to change anything, and its questionable, as pointed out, so I'll leave it as is. But just in case, I'll leave this up a few days in case anyone finds anything major.

 

Here's the random drawing.

Congrats to all the winners 

[Carol]

Wow! I can’t believe I actually won something! 

Thank you so much! ?

My store is the Portuguese one, but if it’s hard for you to find a Portuguese PSN Card, I can just create an US account.

[woggly4]

Congrats to all winners! 

[Aecesaje_]

Yay I won!!! Congratulations to all the other winners! Again thanks for the giveaway. 

 

Just like Carol, my store is the portuguese one. If it's easier for you, I can create a british or spanish account

Mission failed... we'll get 'em next time. Jokes aside, congratulations to the winners! And once again, thanks to Birv and Grave for the event. 

[da-Noob123]

Ouch 193, oh well there is always next year. Congrats to the winners!

[TugaSonic]

I actually won? No wait, I won because I was last...



Thanks for the giveaway. Like Carol and maiathewinners my store is Portuguese but I do have an old USA account if it's hard/difficult to get a PT one.

[hBLOXs]

Holy shit! What a start into the new year & decade!

 

Thank you, again, for running this. I’m now especially grateful for Beyond & his extra contribution. (Fwiw, I’ll be sure from now on to answer ANY & ALL questions with BeyondTheGrave07, out of gratefulness.)

 

Also, thanks to all other players who didn’t pick what was mostly just my favorite games, lol.

 

Congrats to all winners.

And to B1rvine & Beyond who reached their goal of a bigger turnout this time.

 

Congrats to Carol for winning for being herself, lol. Can’t think of a more fitting xmas winner.

 

(Sidenote: could some Cheater Remover please look into that whole “Portugal store” thing as that looks to create an unusual amount of winners. Highly suspicious. (That is an obvious attempt at a lame JOKE.))

 

ETA: US is fine for me.
