Rescued someone on my first click on the room, no big deal, but the next room for tomorrow didn't appear like they did all the other nights. Does that mean something or will it still show up tomorrow night?

I dont see how people have over 100 points in this. It is random chance. I'm not gonna call cheating but something is off.

P.S. I only have twenty something
It's all about the Undead Monster badges.

Damn, the mansion gave me only one point again.
This time, I did not unlock a new room though. Does that mean this is the last day of the event ?

..Um I am a bit worried. Even though I know that I cannot click onto a room till tomorrow- I see no room at all after clicking the room that was previously available today. Hope it was meant to be that way, because there's nothing left after I was done clicking. If there's no room tomorrow, I shall report it in case cause I want to stay in the top 20 (haha).
If it's not just me then it must be something special. . .

Or nightmarish!

I'm kinda new to this. Now that I understand it I dont have a chance of winning. I'm happy with 98th place. Thanks for the help.

I just did some math, not especially good math, but still, math. I have 249 profiles bookmarked that had badges (no Im not sharing, lol) I have 137 points in the game so far, and if I was initially correct in my 33%/66% chance of gaining/losing a point, then 249 points would equate to about 82 points total, so that, along with my mansion points, which I don't recall 100%, but I know the first day I got 5, then there were two days I got 0, two days I got 10+, and I think a day I got 15 or so. So just using those numbers, the mansion gave me about 40, give or take a few.

So adding that up gives me 122, give or take extra points from the mansion and just random chance. Overall though Im pretty sure about the odds, and Ive been searching user profiles from the start, I started searching through the US profiles, starting halfway through at 135/271, going 50 profiles a time, and adding in people changing in and out of the leaderboards, Ive gotten all those 250 profiles, and Ive made it in my search currently to page 211.

Yes, I have no life, but its easily possible with perseverance and some time to go through the profiles and get these points, Im not even at the top, but thats how I got to where I was at least.

Nothing against your tactics since it obviously worked but how would having them all bookmarked be useful? You click one and your done, win or lose. Going back to them later wouldn't do anything.

Bookmarking them only takes a second, and in doing so, I can keep track of which profiles I have and haven't already clicked, and also allows me to check certain profiles later that only had one badge at the time, though that last one did not really work well since none of them did get that extra badge, but for each page I bookmark, using google chrome, it shows a little gold star on the bookmark button if its already bookmarked, and since the people on the leaderboards were changing so often the first couple days, and searching through all the profiles one by one, it allowed me to tell which I had already done or not.

More power to you. It sounds like you deserve it. Even if you gave me the list now I wouldn't try. My younger brother wants me to ask you for at least the game. I told him people don't give things away for free. He then brought up orange chicken at our malls food court. I thought this was worth sharing.

Well I have to win first XD which the odds though decent, are still not amazing, as for the game, if I did win it, I actually do want to play it really bad, so let your brother know Im sorry =P

As for the bookmarks, I don't expect anyone would ask them, I was just joking to be honest, besides, if I did share them, that could count as cheating, so I wouldn't want to get booted off for something like that. I don't wanna pull a move like the cheater did from the el shaddai contest where they tried to justify their actions by claiming they didnt interpret the rules in some specific manner.

And the main reason Im up there is just, I have nothing to do currently, Im working on getting a job, but hell, if I had a job I could just go and buy my new Xbox that I so desperately need, lol. So I can spend my idle free time hunting badges profile after profile all day long whenever Im not looking after my cat. I know not everyone has that luxury, but there are only so many people like me in this contest, so its not like others cant pass me, and others that are -really- determined, well, they can pass me too, I've put in a lot of time, but not nearly as much as Im capable, I do like doing other things, haha.

That's crafty. I kind of wish I'd have bookmarked only because I'm curious as to how many profile badges I clicked. Day one and Day...today are the only days I got more than three kills on the mansion and I've got 110 points total.

I was only in the contest for the game. I was only interested in how the game addressed walking with the kinect. A youtube video answered all my questions. Also what happened with el shaddai? (I'm a little knew to this)

There were I believe about 3 cheaters in the El Shaddai contest, and in that contest, the -only- way to get points was clicking a badge, and it was an automatic point, so that was no luck, just time and effort to get into the top 20. One person had joined several days late, by this time the people at the top already had 150+ or so I believe, I was at around 80 working my way slowly up the leaderboards, by the end of the day or maybe the day after that though, this new person managed to get up to around 350+ or so, while the top people were barely getting close to 200, by the time the contest had 1-2 days left, this person had I think 760ish badges, which If I were to take a guess, would probably be practically every single person that even entered the contest. They had spent a large amount of time making a program to search profiles for them, and tried to claim that there was nothing in the rules saying what they did was wrong, a moderator called them out on it, and they tried to defend their original standing by saying "I didn't interpret the rules in that way" and was doing her best to defend the fact that she cheated. In the end it was quite hilarious how much effort she put in to defend herself just to get removed.

GEE I HOPE NOBODY CHEATS LIKE LAST TIME HERP DERP
Oh wait...
Seriously, why bother entering contests like these anymore when they're all rigged and nobody cares? (El Shaddai contest, 777 points?)

Sorry, edited my post; I guess I'm not the only one who found the previous contest to be unfair..
Well the person with all those points, along with two others they deemed had cheated were removed from the leaderboards and not eligible for prizes, so its not like it was unfair, nor do I find this one, I rather dislike the randomness put in place in this contest, but thats my own personal preferences. As for right now, I dont think anyone is in fact cheating at all, I wouldnt know for sure, but it just seems like not many are bothering to try cheating with how they dealt with it in the last contest.

Kross owned her hard. I wish I had Kross's address so I could send him a box of chocolates. He made my day with his anti trolling skills. :D
